Out of Bounds by Claire Hastings (Atlanta Rising Football Club #1)

 


⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽


This one scored in my book! Out of Bounds is a sports romance with grit and heart. Characters that you'll fall in love with, and a strong heroine that keeps fighting for what she deserves.


Felicity Sutherland is a fierce boss, fighting against the prejudice in her family to achieve the position in her fathers company that should rightfully be hers. She puts on a strong front, but inside she's still just a daughter that wants her dad to finally see her worth.


Gunnar Gracin has retired from professional sports, and loves his job as the new head coach. He's thrown for a loop when it's revealed he has a grown adult daughter that he never knew existed, and he's also forced to work with the one woman he shouldn't have any interest in.


There's such great character development throughout this story. Once Felicity let down her guard (even if it wasn't intentional), I couldn't put the book down. I also loved the watching Gunnar take on the protective dad role, even though it's all new to him.


A wonderful start to a new series, this is one sports romance that will keep you captivated from start to finish. Even if you're not a fan of Felicity at the start, give her a chance, and I promise you'll be rooting for her before you know it!

SUMMARY:


Welcome to the Atlanta Rising Football Club, where the temperature isn't the only thing turning up the heat...


Felicity Sutherland knows what people think of her. She just doesn't care. Her attitude is her armor, and it hasn't failed her yet. Thick skin and working hard in the male-dominated sports industry placed her dream job within reach. And as she vies to become president of the Atlanta Rising Football Club, there isn't a competitor, or a distractingly handsome co-worker, that can get in her way.


The only games Gunnar Gracin has time for are the ones he coaches on the pitch. But life just keeps bending the ball, especially where the women in his life are concerned. The death of his wife over a decade ago was a devastating loss. Discovering an adult daughter from an encounter he doesn't remember changed all the rules. And working for the frosty, sharp-tongued Felicity is downright infuriating.


But as Gunnar and Felicity spend more time together, the tension between them sizzles like a hot summer night. And the moment Gunnar gets a taste of Felicity's smart mouth, he decides to throw the playbook out the window. If no one knows what they're up to, giving in to temptation doesn't feel so out of bounds. That is, until life gets in the way and the whistle is blown. Will it be a red card for Gunnar and Felicity's secret romance?


Out of Bounds is a standalone enemies-to-lovers, age gap contemporary romance. Enjoy it on its own, or as part of the series, with no cheating and a guaranteed HEA!

False Start by Casey Hagen (Beautifully Brutal #1)

 


💛💛💛💛💛


Rollin' in with a new series like a boss! False Start makes my roller derby loving heart SO happy. It has the perfect mix of derby action, romance, humor, and drama.


Cain "Priest" Bishop is only back in town to help his pregnant sister out until her husband can come home. With spiteful gossip and having to face past mistakes, Cain can't leave town soon enough - until he meets Maisy.


Maisy "Mayhem" Flynn is tough as nails, but when it comes to her roller derby team, she'll do anything to help them succeed, even if it means recruiting help from someone with a sketchy past.


This sports romance was everything I was hoping it'd be and more. I loved the unending witty banter between Cain and Maisy, the family dynamic with his sister will win you over immediately, and the derby action made me feel like I was at a live bout. A slow burn that will have you cheering, counting down until Hip Whip releases!

One night home and I'm obsessed.

She's the most compelling woman I've ever seen, and I can't take my eyes off her.

I watch her fight, battling head to head for everything she believes in.

And when the odds turn against her, I'm the unlikely key to her salvation.

Getting too close could cost me everything.

But there's no chance in hell I'll stay away.

Maisy Flynn is mine, even if neither of us wants it.
