Pocałunki zamiast słów

The camaraderie and rivalry felt authentic, but I wonder how much of that was drawn from real sports culture or pure imagination.

It kept the tension high and the chemistry believable, but I'm curious if this was a common approach for the author or a new experiment.

The book had me laughing one moment and blushing the next — was that a deliberate choice to keep the tone light despite the heat?
