Playing Hard to Get by Monica Murphy
3.0
I don’t have much to say on this one. It was a perfectly average sports romance. I think it definitely got better as the book went on, but I found the first part to be incredibly cliché.
The book felt like the stereotypical nerdy girl x jock trope, complete with the FMC, seeing insecure about how she looks, and a jock, who was a player until he met her. There is nothing wrong with that kind of plot line, I just felt like this book didn’t add anything new to it.
One thing I did like about the book is that it was character driven over plot driven. There weren’t any big physical obstacles that the couple had to overcome, only obstacles within themselves which I feel is different from other sports romance books.
Overall, I’m happy I picked it up, I was definitely itching for a football romance after watching the Super Bowl and this delivered!
