Read this for my tbr challenge and it was fine.
It's a quick, easy read. The characters have such a fun chemistry between them and I did really enjoy them as a couple. Also, the reality show is a very fun concept. My problem is just the way they all talked about other people. Somehow, her boobs get mentioned in every freaking chapter. She groped him the first time they met. He talked like a frat boy douchebag, and then her with the whole "groupies" was just weird. It was just too crude for me, which is weird for me. But everything just gave off red flags for me. I did like the ending, and again they had a fun thing going besides all the weird remarks.
Anyway, I didn't hate it, but glad it was pretty short.
Rating: 3,0 stars.

Cliche. Hot quarterback. Female sports reporter. He goes from hating her to screwing her in a blink of an eye. Story line is ok, missed opportunity on building the characters and story line though.

I liked this, but it wasn't fantastic either. The characters were pretty cool, but they went from not getting along, to suddenly getting along and beginning to like each other as something more very suddenly. I felt there needed to be more of a progression from that.
The relationship was pretty cruise and then when it gets to the penultimate point, it seemed a bit too easy. A bit rushed maybe. No real discussion or previous indication of things turning out the way they did.
An easy going read, but it could've been better.

Tough Luck is a sexy and fun enemies to lovers romance. Amelia and Bryce are both independent and headstrong people, who each have something to prove to themselves and the public. The story is told from both of their points of views and it definitely made each of them more relatable and human. I really loved the inner monologue of each character and of course, the chemistry between Bryce and Amelia.
Bryce is both cocky and vulnerable at the same time. He has built a wall around his heart to battle his inner demons and I loved how he and Amelia took it down brick by brick. Amelia is confidant and not afraid to say what she wants (and where she wants it!) There was no heavy drama or angst in their relationship. Just the perfect amount to keep things burning and worth the wait. The banter back and forth helped lighten the mood and I really enjoyed Bryce's relationship with his mother and Amelia's use of nicknames throughout the book. Jaws. Sigh.
I did feel that it was a little too instalove between our characters, but the physical attraction was always there, so it wasn't too unbelievable. Once things got rolling between them though, I was definitely on that ship and rooting for their HEA. The ending was wonderfully sweet and I wouldn't mind seeing another story or novella about these 2. Bryce Luck is my new book boyfriend :)

Pretty good.
Very low angst. Fun, with a bit of naughty. I read some reviews that said they didn't feel the connection between the couple, but I thought they had a cute back and forth. It was resolved really quickly, but I didn't mind it.
I didn't have strong emotions for Bryce or Amelia, but I did like their dynamic in the beginning. I would have rated it higher, but I just felt like SOMETHING was missing. Don't get me wrong this was a feel good quick love story, but I kept waiting for something angsty or dramatic to happen and it just never did.
I figured something more would happen with his back story and the reality show. It just never did. Oh well, it's good. Nothing to write home about, but I enjoyed it.
