I picked up the prequel novella The Games We Win and loved it. Ava and Colter were so cute and sweet together and so I added this to my KU library thinking I'd come back to it but it stuck in my head. So, while I was sick and looking for something to read, I figured I'd give this a try, and it hit the spot.
Honestly, I wasn't really sure what to expect from Hallyn and Beckham. We didn't really get to know them that well in the prequel and the bits we did get made me expect this to be a little angsty. But I can say that wasn't the case.
Beckham was so swoony and sweet. I really didn't expect him to be so open and straight with Hallyn. That boy came across as someone who didn't take anything too seriously and initially, I thought he was just trying to stir the pot. But damn did he know what he wanted and not shy away from showing it. Throw in a dirty mouth and I couldn't get enough.
Hallyn was a perfect new adult heroine too. She wasn't scared to self-reflect and look at the choices she made without worrying about anyone's judgement. And she was more than happy to meet Beckham head on and acknowledge her part in everything. I loved that she didn't doubt her choices or make any arbitrary rules to stop her from moving forward.
The whole book was great. It kept my attention, and it was everything I could want in a college sports romance. I've already added the next book to my KU library.
