Discover the #BookTok sports romance series everyone is talking about RYAN She's a distraction, that's what she is. I'm the newest Captain of the Devils, Chicago's NBA team, and the last thing I needed this year was for Indy Ivers, my sister's best friend, to move into my apartment. She's messy, emotional, and way too tempting. But when the team's General Manager vocalizes his blatant disapproval of my promotion to Captain, referring to me as an unapproachable lone wolf with no work-life balance, I can't think of a better way to convince him otherwise than pretending to date my outgoing roommate. The only problem? Faking it feels far too natural. Having a fake girlfriend wasn't supposed to be messy but having Indy under my roof and in my bed is complicated, especially when she wants all the romantic parts of life that I could never give her. INDY I never imagined I'd be living with my best friend's brother, NBA superstar Ryan Shay. Even more unbelievable? He needs me to act as his loving girlfriend who's suddenly changed him into a friendly and approachable guy. Because, well . . . he's not. He's controlling of his space and untrusting of others. Our arrangement isn't one-sided, though. I'm in a wedding coming up, one where every one of my childhood friends, including my ex-boyfriend, will be in attendance, and there's no better date than my ex's celebrity hero. Blurred lines make it almost impossible to separate real from fake. Falling for my roommate was never part of the deal, especially when Ryan is quick to remind me that he doesn't believe in love. I'm a romantic and can't help fantasizing that he'll change, but soon enough, I find myself questioning if sharing a roof with my best friend's brother was the right move after all . . . Review: My book boyfie ❤️🤎 - Forever truly feels perfect when Ryan Shay is your boyfriend — or in my case, my new book boyfriend of 2026. I can honestly say there isn’t a single thing about him that I don’t adore. You know someone becomes your favorite when you realize how deeply you relate to them, and that’s exactly what happened with Ryan. He feels so me. I love how content he is with a simple, quiet life. His introverted nature, his gentleness, his thoughtfulness — everything about him radiates warmth. He’s caring, sincere, and undeniably a sweetheart. And the moment he built a bookshelf with his own hands for his roommate — or rather, flatmate — I was completely sold. That small, thoughtful act said everything about who he is. If you’re considering starting the Windy City series, take this as your sign to do it. Each character is beautifully written, the friendships feel genuine, the relationships are heartfelt, and everything about the story feels perfectly balanced. I’m honestly in awe. Review: Enjoyed it💗 - The books quality was nice and the story was also good💗, It feels so good to be back in this series and meet stevie, zanders, Ryan and indie again😍💗. Loved Ryan and indie's personal growths and there moments together 😍. And now I understand the hype about Ryan .. Man is so precious 🤌💗, always love a man who gives effort for his girl💗... And loved Rio and Indy's friendship also and Rio's obsession with ahmm🤭👻.. Read it and you will know💗. Overall it's a good book🫶

Are you checking me out, Shay?
Ahhhhhh, my heart! God, this man......I am just swooning over here. I knew I was going to love this story the moment I met Ryan and Indy in Mile High, but, this was more than what I had expected. Wow 🥰 I love how they communicated with each other. That was so mature. Mental health awareness and fertility issues were some heavy topics that this book dealt with which were done really well. I hope more people read this book. I am loving the journey of self worth that these FMCs go through in this series. I don't know whatelse I want to say other than that these two made me so happy. They were just so freaking cute together. I wish we had seen the Maddisons though. I missed them. But, I am also excited for Kai's book and I hope we get to see these characters make cameos in that book.

What a ride 🩷
Oh, boy! Liz Tomforde delivered!!! This one is even better than Mile High. I've always had trouble picking out a heroine I can imagine I see myself in, but Indy is the first one... nurturing, emotional,romantic, loving romance books & sacrificing herself for her loved ones... & RYAN! Ryan, Ryan, Ryan, words would fail to describe how much I love his flawed perfection. What a ride! I have never clicked pre-order as fast as I did for the next one 🩷

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.75 Ryan and Indy
4.75⭐️ ✨Best Friend's Brother ✨Sister's Best Friend ✨Forced Proximity ✨Roommates ✨Fake Dating ✨Mental Health Rep ✨Basketball Player x Flight Attendant ✨“Sometimes the quietest love is the loudest.“✨ The Right Move is the second book in the Windy City series and it follows Ryan Shay and Indigo Ivers. Indigo moves into Ryan‘s place at his sister’s, Stevie‘s, insistence and disrupts his organised and lonely life with her colours and her mess. While they start out being not quite fond of each other they quickly find themselves in a fake relationship that brings them closer and closer together. After some time the question arises if the relationship is really as fake as they pretend it to be. And then there’s the point of the living arrangement only being temporary, aren’t they? ✨I absolutely adored this book, I loved it just as much as the first one and I can’t wait for the next. I love how Liz keeps including and representing different mental health struggles. How in this one, while for Ryan it was partially similar to Evan‘s struggles, he had a much harder time. Trying to always be the perfect man, not giving anything to make negative headlines about him, and now having the added stress of trying to be a good captain to the team. ✨I adored Indy‘s character, her being quite relatable for a lot of us book girlies. It was so funny how she made a “How to be a book boyfriend” bucket list for Ryan and how she used romance novels to escape reality. I also loved how she got Ryan back to feeling more and how she slowly brought him back to life while also struggling with her own issues like infertility, being cheated on, and being alone for the first time in 6 years. ✨Ryan was such a sweetheart, adapting his love language to whatever Indy needed, whether that were small things, like making her a coffee every morning, taking care of her when she was sick, or building her a new bookshelf and learning how to take care of her plants. I also loved how he made her a bucket list so that she could learn to be alone and not feel bad about herself and her situation. How he paid for her fertility treatment and how he bought them a house when they hadn’t even officially made their relationship real. I also adored his relationship with Stevie and how he later saw Evan as a brother. ✨"You can't stop being who you are because someone else thinks it's too much, Ind. He can go find less."✨

LOVED. Interconnected standalone series!
TW: Fertility issues Dual POV, interconnected standalone (book 2 of series of 5- you can just read this one but I highly recommend reading Mile High first!) open door romance, found family, camping, fake dating, opposites attract, he plays pro basketball- number 5, she’s a flight attendant, and they were roommates! (Cut to the Vine) I just adore how love languages are discussed in this book. My favorite stories are interconnected standalones, especially getting to see previous or future characters. I loved this story so much and devoured it in 2 days. It’s a long book around 450 pages but I fell in love with these characters and couldn’t get enough of them. Ryan and Indy are my fave couple so far, they’re so lovable and hilarious! “I’m going to Michael’s.” “Who the hell is Michael?” 😂 I love the epilogue and bonus chapters and am so excited to continue the series. So excited for Rio’s book but I know that is the final book of the series.

Pulled at my Heart Strings!! Loved, loved, loved!
4.75-5⭐️ This book took my heart, shattered it, healed It and embedded it back in my chest! Sport Romance is my new fav obsession! First I loved ice hockey, now I also love basketball. God help me by the time the series has finished! This book made me giggle and it made me cry (happy tears). The emotions I felt reading this book was on a whole new level. I got truly lost in this book and could view it in my mind and forget where I was (in real life)! I adored the story line of this book and the topics brought up that occur in real life. I really praise Liz for adding in those topics and showing a true reality of good and/or bad of what it can cause and bring to the table for some people and families. I thought Liz sold it really well and again that made me emotional. This book really pulled at my heart strings. This book is based on Ryan (who is Stevie’s twin who we’re introduced to in the first book) and Indy who is Stevie’s best friend (again introduced in first book). Indy essential ends up moving in with Ryan to save up some extra money for herself soon after a breakup. However, Ryan doesn’t want Indy moving into his living space but only agrees as Stevie and Indy are friends and he would do anything for his twin! Spoilers Below ** ——————————————————————————— OMFG is Ryan a gift from God? He is also who I’d describe as a wagon wheel - soft on the inside, hard on the out. I’m sorry, but I think he has set the bar for any boyfriend. Fictional or non fictional. Learning sign language did me over, I cried every time. The way Liz wrote this book I could really connect with his feelings and desire to communicate with Indy’s family. My heart was melting so bad! The way her paid for fertility treatment and a house. I did guess those from the start, he learning sign language to ask Indy’s dad permission on marriage and helping in some way shape or form with Indy and having a child and paying for fertility treatments. Even though I guessed it, I was so happy my guesses were confirmed and incorporated within the book! We truly did see Ryan’s thoughtful side and how he still took care of Indy even where they had fallen out and she was with Rio… ah my heart cannot cope!!! Indy on the other hand, I blooming love her character. I really felt for her and I can truly relate and feel what she feels in the aspect of caring for others and putting others first. I’m so so SOOO glad they got their happy ending!! I wish I could re-read this again as well as Mile High🥹🥹🥹
