4.0

Usually not a sports romance fan because I don’t  like jocks (they’re usually obnoxious with a foul mouth) but this one quite possibly melted my stone cold feminist heart just a little.

The story was easy enough to follow without being too technical about the sports agent business or the football part of the plot. Nora was the right amount of quirky without being overly perky and Derek was equal parts sweet and sexy. But my favourite character was definitely Nicole.

I was surprised by how much I liked this book! It started off a little iffy because the friends immediately tried to get Derek married as though that was necessary for happiness, which bothered me, and Derek was actually really mean and annoying to Nora when they first started working together. But once Derek acknowledged he was being a jerk and acted normal again I loved this book. I loved how Nora pursued her dreams and stayed true to herself- her voice and motives are strong in this book. I also enjoyed seeing the progression of their relationship, how they recognized their love previous faults and also were more mature in the present day.

5.0

This book is absolutely amazing. It had me kicking my feet and squealing with joy . Bree and Derek are so easy to fall in love with and their relationship is absolutely to die for. The twists in this book are terrific and always at the best moments. This book is a sports romance which I absolutely love but this one is definitely one of my top 5. It's somehow better then the first one which I didn't think was possible. I absolutely wil  recommend it to everyone. Bree and Derek relationship will have you yelling and squealing an  begging for more when the book ends.

I think the narrators, Hathaway Lee and Will Damron, were both new to me, and I loved both their performances.

SPOILER: A big thing in this book is about how Derek is Dyslexic and didn't get along with his parents if that bothers you this might not be a good choice.
