Hard Pass by Sara Ney
4.0
Sweetest book ever! Once I was reading it, I couldn't stop. Hard Pass is the perfect book if you are looking for an imperfect hero, a very sweet love story, but with quite a bit of steam too.
Sara Ney is one of my favourite romance authors and for me the best sports romance one. I was so excited that she was releasing a new sports series and I was not disappointed. She uses the same style as in her other books, sweet characters, amazing sense of humour and low drama (my FAVOURITE). I always judge how good a book is by how ashamed I am of the highlights I made on my kindle... and I am very very ashamed! Buzz, one of Noah's teammate, adds the perfect dirty jokes to the book and makes it more than a sweet love story.
Novels with imperfect and shy heroes are always my most-liked stories. Sara has already a couple of them in her previous series (Rhett Rabideaux *swoon*) but Noah is quite different from what we've already seen. He is very sensitive and shy, he doesn't have a lot of confidence, even less around women, and has lived quite a handful of bad experiences. He is not the typical jock and that's what I loved the most about him.
I didn't give Hard Pass five stars because this book is way too short. With only 200 pages, I feel like we don't know much about Noah and Miranda, I'd have loved to know more about their pasts or just to have more scenes of the two of them together. This book is also not as focused on the sport aspect as in her other series, but it is still quite a main subject in the book. I feel like it's such a shame because I adored Noah and Hard Pass could have easily become one of my favourite Sara Ney books. I would love to get at least a novella about them, because they were truly the sweetest.
So, if you are looking for a quick read, very swoon-worthy, but also funny, go check out Hard Pass by Sara Ney.
