First off I would like to thank Valentine PR and Monica Murphy for the arc of this book.

Now, onto my thoughts... I have been desperate to read a Monica Murphy book for some time now since all I hear are good things, this one wasn't it for me though.

It had some of my favourite tropes, sports romance, nerdy girl/jock boy, tutor to lovers etc, but it just didn't flow as I'd hoped. There was quite a lot of repetitive parts and I found the main characters kind of annoying, I also hoped there would be a bit more of a chase but I didn't get it.

The steamy scenes were good and it had a lot of potential but unfortunately it just fell flat.

This is a really good book. I love this author books and writing, and I can't wait to see what happens next and read more of her books and more of her series

I love me a college sports romance. Such adorable yet hot scenes and the chemistry was great from the start. Knox and Joanna have my heart and this book was just so wonderful.
