The Summer Games Series by R.S. Grey - Start Date: October 26, 2016

[Beatrice]

Settling the Score by R.S. Grey

As an Olympic rookie, Andie Foster has spent far more time in her cleats than between the sheets. For 21 years, her Friday nights have consisted of blocking shots rather than taking them. But now that she's landed in Rio, she's ready to see for herself if the rumors about the Olympic Village are true:
• The athletes are all sex-crazed maniacs...
• The committee passes out condoms like candy...
• The games continue long after the medals have been handed out...
As Andie walks the line between rumor and reality, she's forced into the path of Frederick Archibald, a decorated Olympic swimmer and owner of a sexy British accent--too bad he's unavailable in a way that "it's complicated" doesn't even begin to explain.

In other words: off limits.

It doesn't matter that he has abs that could bring peace to the Middle East and a smile that makes even the Queen blush; Andie fully intends on keeping her focus on the soccer field. But the Village is small. Suffocating. Everywhere Andie goes, Freddie happens to be there--shirtless, wet from the pool, and determined to show her a whole new meaning of the phrase "international affairs".

Chapter two (view spoiler)[The interviewer indicated that Freddie already has a girlfriend, Caroline? If she is indeed his girlfriend and at the same time he's in relationship with Andie, I'll stop reading the book :D (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[I hope there will be no cheating involved. Crossing my fingers this Caroline is his ex-girlfriend.

The reporter has a dry sense of humor. It's kinda annoying when she hits on Freddie. (hide spoiler)]

[Beatrice]

P.S. (view spoiler)[I'm glad this is in dual POV. :) (hide spoiler)]

[Beatrice]

Chapter 4-5
(view spoiler)[ Did they just exchanged underwears? That was bold but I'm a bit disgusted on Andie wearing the boxer short. Like...that's not clean (hide spoiler)]

[Rachmi]

Beatrice wrote: "Rachmi wrote: "Chapter two [spoilers removed]"..."

(view spoiler)[I kinda have a feeling she's not ex-girlfriend, the way the interviwer talked it's like he's engaged with her. And agrew I do hope there's no cheating here. I seriously don't like reading a story with cheating characters. (hide spoiler)]

Hah, me too! :D

Beatrice wrote: "Chapter 4-5

(view spoiler)[yup, though he said that it's a new underwear. But still! (hide spoiler)]

[Rachmi]

Chapter 6, (view spoiler)[Andie is a goalkeeper! And she insist that she keeps playing despite her wrist injury? That's just irresponsible and reckless, if not stupid! I know this is Olympic, but she being in the field playing with her not-minor injury is not only endanger her carrier but also she can make mistake while she has to catch or pass or intersept the ball! Means that she can caused her country trouble. Ans how come the goalkeeper coach and other crew can be fooled by her?!

Sorry for my ranting :D (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[It's so unhygienic. Hahahaha! (hide spoiler)]

[Beatrice]

Rachmi wrote: "Chapter 6,

(view spoiler)[I'm actually worried about this. It seems that injury has been there for quite a time. I wonder if she gets a medical clearance for her to play. I agree with your rant and I hope this injury will not get worse despite it's minor. She should be more careful with it. (hide spoiler)]

[Beatrice]

Chapter 10

(view spoiler)[Oh shit. Becca held her injured wrist. ugh. (hide spoiler)]

[Rachmi]

Beatrice wrote: "Rachmi wrote: "Chapter 6,

[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[She should really more careful about it. It actually isn't an odd thing if she has that injury for quite a time. I mean she plays one of the sport that can cause injuries often, minor or major. So she has to deal with it every time.

What doesn't make sense for me is how she can still play, when it bothers her a lot. If I'm not wrong, she said that it's not a minor one, so she must hurt because of it. And just like you said, where's her medical clearance? As far as I know, she needs it in order to get play in the field. And since she can play, it means that she gets her medical clearance. So it also means that she can "trick" her coach, especially her goalkeeper coach, and her doctors? (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[If I were the doctor, I will not give her a medical clearance to play for the Olympics. She goes to therapy but it wasn't resolved. that wrist injury isn't minor to me. (hide spoiler)]

[Rachmi]

Chapter 7, (view spoiler)[hah! Freddie is betrothed to Caroline! I'm sure he will say that he doesn't want to but have to but still. (hide spoiler)]

You got it!! ahhahahaha!!

(view spoiler)[I kinda want to pat my back for guessing it right Lol, but at the same time I don't quite like it :( (hide spoiler)]

[Rachmi]

Chapter 8, (view spoiler)[Nathan Drake doesn't sound like Portuguese name, unless he's being naturalized. (hide spoiler)]

[Rachmi]

Chapter 10, (view spoiler)[We could just be friends. Super hot, super not interested in each other friends. I didn’t see the problem.

Yeah...right.
I'm being sarcastic here, by the way :D (hide spoiler)]

[Beatrice]

Rachmi wrote: "Chapter 8, [spoilers removed]"

It sounds American to me. hahaha

Beatrice wrote: "Rachmi wrote: "Chapter 8, [spoilers removed]"

Exactly! The author can give him a better name other than a name that sound like American. Or if she doesn't know where to start, she can look at the Portugal or Brazil football team. They are surely have Portuguese names.

True! I would love to name him Fernando Jose. hahaha!! :))

That's a perfect name for Portuguese football player, my friend! He reminds me of a character of a Telenovela I used to watch when I was in senior high school, though. Hahaha.

Edit: He refers to Fernando Jose, not Nathan Drake that doesn't sound Portuguese :D

[Rachmi]

Chapter 20 (view spoiler)[[...]but in the end, I’d lain like a mummy staring up at the ceiling, willing sleep to take me.

Lack of sleep when she have to play your first Olympic game is not a wise thing to do, and (again) reckless. (hide spoiler)]

I remember watching that telenovela. not sure if it's Marimar or Rosalinda. Hahahah! I was in Grade school that time

Grade school? Well...I'm way older that you are then! Anyway, I think it's Marimar? Because I quite remember she has a dog, while Rosalinda didn't have any dog. But if it's Marimar then I watched it a little bit younger, as in junior school, I think.

I think it's Rosalinda though. I remember Marimar is paired up Sergio then Señora Angelica Santibanez antagonizes them.

Goodness, I miss this kind of drama haha

[Rachmi]

Really? I didn't remember the detail only the main character's names. But maybe you're right. The antagonist in Marimar are the hero's father and his step-mother, right? Now I'm not sure if he is Fernando Jose or Sergio something.

Those telenovela were surely a guilty pleasure. They were predictable as hell yet so engaging, hahaha.

My favorite one wasn't the one with Thalia, though. It was the one whose the heroine called Lupita Lopez. She lived at the mall where she worked. It was so addicting my mom had to drag me to school because at that time my school started at 12:30pm, 30 minutes after Lupita Lopez aired, Lol.

[Rachmi]

I'm so curious I googled both Marimar and Rosalinda. And you're right! Fernando Jose was Rosalinda's love interest.

[Rachmi]

Chapter 21, (view spoiler)[[...]I’d figured we’d eventually work up to one of those great relationships where instead of rehabbing my wrist all day, we’d just sit around gossiping about celebrities and making fun of people.

Really?! I don't think she takes her training seriously (hide spoiler)]

LOL! It's aired here around 11:30 am before I go to school. My service to school arrives around 12 nn. So happy whenever I watch it. It's really entertaining

[Beatrice]

Rachmi wrote: "Chapter 21, [...]."

(view spoiler)[she focuses on her love life rather than being on Olympics. (hide spoiler)]

[Rachmi]

Chapter 22, (view spoiler)[It's obvious there's something important Georgie wants to tell to Freddie, like telling him that Caroline ia flying for Rio. (hide spoiler)]

[Rachmi]

Chapter 29, (view spoiler)[I don't think I believe Caroline. She sounds too good to be true. And I don't quite believe that she takes Freddie break off their betrothal that well. I think she's either naive or a really good actress. (hide spoiler)]

[Rachmi]

Chapter 39,(view spoiler)[Coach Decker was either coldhearted or genuinely oblivious to how painful it was to attend practice for a team I was no longer a part of.

She definitely knows how painful it is for you, Andie. But she knows her priority well. And it is to win the game. With you having injury is a liabity, not a strength for the team now. (hide spoiler)]

[Beatrice]

Chapter 26

(view spoiler)[Now the injury worsens. Never take minor injuries for granted. Focus on your health, Andie. Set aside the love life for a while :P (hide spoiler)]

[Rachmi]

Beatrice wrote: "Chapter 26

[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[She (and also Freddie, really) doesn't seem to know her priority well :D (hide spoiler)]

[Beatrice]

Finished
(view spoiler)[ I like it but I have mixed feelings about it. Mostly on Andie and I find the story almost the same as Scoring Wilder. Supposedly it's 2.5 but credits to Caroline for being a great villain and Georgie being funny as hell. (hide spoiler)]
