The Pickup (Imperfect Love #1)
by
Somebody once said we don’t decide who we love. The world decides for us. But I disagree.
I believe love is a decision. Who we love, how we love. It’s in our control - in our hands.
I grew up having no clue about the true meaning of love. Money. Cars. Houses. Status. Fame. That’s what love means to the people around me.

Welp... Nikki has done it again! She gave me yet another favorite read. Not that I'm surprised. I'd probably read the woman's chore list, and give it 5 stars. Her books just do it for me.
The Pickup is a sweet second chance romance, that will just make your heart happy. Nick's a pro ball player, who's just coming into his own when he meets Olivia in a club. Both know that their chemistry is off the charts, but both give false names to conceal their identities. After a hot as hell one night stand ...more

Nikki Ash is my go to author and I am happy to say she delivered another touchdown with this book! I am so in love with this book and characters! Nicholas Shaw will make you fall in love with him, even when you’re mad at him for being a typical guy. He’s a sweet, sexy football player who has had a heartbreaking history with love (in any form of it). And Olivia Harper, our female lead, is a hopeless romantic who refuses to settle for less and who could blame her for that! The chemistry between Ni

The Pickup is the first in a new series by Nikki Ash and will leave you completely caught up and wanting more. The characters in this story are absolute perfection. This story will have you swooning and praying for fairytales to come true.
Also, with that extended epilogue, I don’t know how I’m going to wait until April for The next stand-alone!

Nikki Ash... oh, Nikki Ash. I do love you.
I love football.
I love one night stands.
I love accidental pregnancies.
This was a win in my book.
I was hooked from the beginning.
One thing that I love about Nikki Ash’s books is that I not only fall in love with the hero and heroine but I fall for the secondary characters. I cannot wait to read more Killian! So. In. Love!

The Pickup is another great book by Nikki Ash! Nick and Olivia’s story gives readers all the feels! After a one night stand and a note- that’s all- Nick feels connected to Liv but doesn’t think he will see her again! When they finally meet up again in the most unexpected way- their story begins from there and he wants to create “new chapters” to their story!
Nick is a great character- complex, caring, wanting to make everyone happy but has lost himself along the way! Olivia- I love her- she wants ...more

Nikki Ash never fails to bring out all my emotions with her writing. And let me tell you, The Pickup brought out A TON of them. My heart hurt, I raged, I cried, my heart melted, I laughed so hard it hurt, I fell madly in love and did I mention raged? Because for a minute there I wanted to throw my kindle across the room. Seriously though, Nikki Ash had me hooked immediately with this one truly hitting me right in the feels almost immediately and her writing kept me hooked all the way to the very

First off this story is effing amazing! I love sport romances and this one kicked it out the park right from the start. Nick and Olivia have this amazing chemistry that will knock you right out your chair.

This book made my heart happy, Nick and Olivia’s chemistry is HOT. After meeting in a club and having a one night stand they give each other false info. Olivia believes in fairytales, true love and happy ever after. Nick believes love is created by your own decisions.
After bumping into each other again will Olivia convince Nick to chase their HEA or will he be so focused on his career and the fame that things won’t work out? I loved both the hero and the hero ...more

I don't quite know how to write this review, I'm kind of lost for words. All I really know is, that I absolutely loved this story, this plot, and especially these characters. Now that I'm finished anyway...
The first 35 % of the story I actually actively hated the guts out of Nick, the main character. He was so weak (him personally, not the writing of him). I didn't want to throw my kindle at the wall, I wanted to crawl into the pages, kick his behind, and shake some sense into him.
