What is it about sports romance that is so compelling? 

I will never turn down the chance to read any sports romance, (not that I have any interest in sports in real life!). I really enjoyed Simone Soltani's writing style, she crafted really lovable characters and all of their personalities jumped off the page. I could picture the characters so clearly in my mind as they were so real and fleshed out through the writing.  

The main reason I dropped this a star is that I found myself struggling with the pacing of the story. I had to force myself to pick this book up instead of just scrolling aimlessly on my phone, and that's so abnormal for me. I kept reading for the characters and wanted to see them get their happy ending, but the plot itself felt a little too slow paced for me personally. 

** I received an eARC of this book. All opinions expressed are my own. **
