Firstly I loved that this sports romance didn’t involve the sports players, it revolved around the part of the industry that probably isn’t written about nearly as much – the coaching staff and sports reporters. This is my first @chellsloan book and it certainly won’t be my last.
So much happens but the story isn’t rushed or lacking detail, everything that happened in their journey had time and detail and development. Hunter and Sadie are such strong characters but they aren’t without their flaws, demons and vulnerabilities. Both of them are working so hard to excel in their careers, Sadie to be respected in a male dominated industry and Hunter to be seen for his skills rather than who his father is, so deciding to see if their relationship will go anywhere is a big risk. Their relationship faces so many hurdles which are believable rather than over the top or unrealistic and makes the story so hard to put down. There are so many little parts of this story that I love – Sadie listing gross things to change her thoughts, Hunter’s physical reaction when Sadie talked football, Hunter’s gentlemanly manners especially the extended epilogue, their steamy chemistry but also their curl up together and watch Netflix moments. This is a brilliant start to the Nashville Fury series.
