Main characters Teagan
and Ransom were a tremendously fun couple. I loved their flirty banter and the funny,
silly way they competed with each other over things like dart games or laser tag. They
had a lot in common besides their competitive natures, including their interest in charity/volunteer work, so it was easy to understand why their friends kept trying to push them together. Ransom and Teagan also shared a fear of commitment due to bad breakups in their pasts, but I really appreciated that there wasn't a whole lot of drama between them because of it. Rather than keeping everything bottled up until it exploded, they actually talked about their issues and worked on them together.
The bromance between Ransom and his friends was another highlight of the story for me. The way they teased and jokingly insulted each other was hilarious, but it was also sweet how they were so quick to offer advice or a sympathetic ear whenever it was needed. I particularly liked Ransom's friend Martinez, the Yankees closer, and was happy that he found love with the lucky lady who won a date with him at the bachelor auction.
While this book can technically be read as a standalone, I would recommend reading the series in order for the best experience (with the addition of Fitz and Dean's story, "A Guy Walks Into My Bar," which is technically separate). Teagan and Ransom's story was pretty well wrapped up by about 80% (Kindle edition), and the rest of the book was something of an extended epilogue for the series as a whole. Most of the final 20% of the book was set during Bryn and and Logan's ("The What-If Guy") wedding.
Overall, I loved this fast-paced, funny, sweet, and heartwarming story, and can't wait to see what Lauren Blakely brings us next!

About "Thanks for Last Night"
A sexy new friends-to-lovers standalone!
Let me list the reasons why dating a sexy, charming, pro hockey star is a bad idea:
- He’s one of my closest friends
- All our friends are friends
- The wounds I’ve got from past relationships go deep. And so do his.
And I do win.
I win him big.
And hard.
And all night long.
The trouble is . . . what happens in the morning?
