Personal Foul ~ Reagan & Garrett
4.25 ⭐
These two originally met while in college, back when Garrett was a playboy. Now he’s an NFL player and ready to settle down. It’s love at first sight when he sees Reagan again, but she needs a little more convincing.
❣ Reagan’s independence
❣ Garrett’s quick acceptance of Nick
Fumbled ~ Ivy & Jude
5⭐
A vacation one night stand turns into a one week stand turns into happily ever after.
❣ Ivy’s confidence and sign recognition
❣ Jude’s relationship with his father
Hail Mary ~ Cam & Theo
4.65⭐
Theo cannot stop messing up in his personal life and his latest screw up is a doosey that can get him traded or fired. In steps head of PR, Cam, to help him get his life on track or her job is on the line too.
❣ Cam’s realization that things are not always as they seem
❣ Theo’s vulnerable side that he kept hidden
Blind Side ~ Ava & Liam
4.75⭐
I like that Ava and Liam’s story is a little different than the others. They are not just meeting, but have been together since they were 14 and have been married for 12 years. They’re in a bit of a rut and need to find their way back to each other.
❣ Ava finally standing up for herself and saying she’s unhappy.
❣ Liam’s all in approach once his eyes are finally open
Overall, each installment is a quick 100 page read with just enough steamage to not overpower the story. I’d be delighted to read more from Cala and Riley.
