Shelves: 2015-reads

One of the best sports-related (football) romances I’ve read in a long while – even though I found too many careless and easy-to-correct editing errors throughout. Tsk –tsk! Makes me frown when I find this problem in an otherwise near-perfectly written manuscript. I didn’t notice these same problems in the first book, The Hook Up. What happened?

I really loved this book. It started off making me laugh as I was drawn into the friendship between Ivy and Gray.

This is definitely one of my favorite books.

I guess I was all over the place with it honestly.

It was, same with the first, super, super hot.

Gray Grayson & Ivy Mackenzie

I loved this story. I wasn't sure how Gray was going to be portrayed after thinking of him as a playboy during the first book in this series, but I was pleasantly surprised.

I don't know if I've smiled, laughed, or wanted to cry so much while reading the same book. I definitely wasn't expecting the emotional aspects.

I don't know if anyone else's story in this series can top this, but I'm going to definitely continue on to find out.

Gray and Ivy made connecting to anot ...more

Continuing to love everything about this series and its characters. Kristen has a way of writing plot twists that I do not expect or anticipate. Couldn't put it down. ...more
