The Riptide #3.5

Riptide: A Super Bowl Year

Rate this book
Before the Piranhas, before the Condors . . .there was the Riptide.

They won a Super Bowl at the end of The Rivalry - and are looking to win another.

In the final Piranhas book, Playing Deep, the Piranhas play in the AFC Championship, for the right of who will go to the Super Bowl.

Spoiler Alert: the Piranhas do not win that game.

But the Riptide do – and then they go on to play in the Super Bowl two weeks later.
This is that story.

Please note: this bonus material is only for readers of the Riptide series and does not function as a standalone.

Loved this bonus bundle

I'm always gonna be happy spending mote time with the Riptide so this was a bonus bundle of pure pleasure.

That it also had a bonus appearance from my number one pairing Colin O'Connor and Nick Wheeler, was just icing on the cake.

I liked it. It felt like an epilogue to the whole series, with chapters for all of the couples. It was very sweet.

I finished The Rpitide Series by @bethboldenauthor with the bonus novella, Riptide:A Super Bowl Year. This book was the icing on the cake of a fantastic series.
This book follows the season after The Red Zone ends. We get chapter POV’s from all our main men from the series (and Chase from Food Truck Warriors and his man) as the try to achieve their ultimate goal, winning the Super bowl.
I love all the cameos, we see everyone I wanted to see, it was filled with so much heart, humour and love. I adored it, especially those final two chapters, made my heart burst.
The first book in the series is available on audio and I would absolutely love for the rest of the to come to audio as well!
Highly recommend this series, fantastic football romance!

Thanks BB

It's always fun to see the gang. Worse to not see them anymore. How about some side characters I just know that more an.more athletes are running amuck in that writers brain. So much fun,looking forward to many more of your stories!

Nice catch up

It was so good to have all our friends in one place, and see how things were going! They all had a HEA ending, but that doesn’t mean things became perfect. Thanks for sharing the updates, and including Colin, too!

Meh

Meh. Would have been better as an epilogue. Honestly not sure what the point of the whole thing was. Not worth it.

Fun revisit of Riptide characters, but mostly, this makes me want to go back and run through the series again! ...and then, perhaps, read this again, and then the Piranhas, and the Condors... I think there are still at least a couple of Beth's books I've not yet read - and I know there are some that I've already read twice. Overall, she's a winner of an author!
