Hard Hitter by Sarina Bowen

Hard Hitter

Sportsball romances are usually not my thing because my understanding of professional sportsing is very limited. All I know is that it usually involves a ball of some kind and that it’s acceptable for the dudes to pat each other on the butt. The last sports book I read was League of Denial so that should tell you something right there. Now, I make an exception when it comes to hockey for two reasons. 1. … Continue reading Hard Hitter by Sarina Bowen

The Game Plan by Kristen Callihan

The Game Plan

Oh, Game Plan. How do I love thee. Let me count the ways. The newest book in the Game On series is about a man-bunned, tattooed, and bearded virgin football player. And that was all that anyone needed to tell me before I one-clicked so hard that I pulled a muscle. I should also note that this is my first book by Kristen Callihan, and readers are totally okay to jump right into the series with this … Continue reading The Game Plan by Kristen Callihan

Risky Game by Tracy Solheim

Risky Game

So I bought this title back when it was on sale for $1.99, and those $2 were worth it (alas it’s no longer on sale). When I sat down to write this lightning review, I realize the plot sounded very similar to that of Takes Two to Tackle. There’s an athlete hero with health concerns and a heroine who helps take care of him, while posing as his girlfriend. But how do these two young … Continue reading Risky Game by Tracy Solheim

The Deal by Elle Kennedy

The Deal

While at RT this year, I had a great time talking with other readers and of course, the most prevailing question was, “What do you like to read?” Here at SBTB HQ, we all tend to have our little niches. There’s some overlap, but there is usually a genre or two that each of us really, really loves. For me, I’m a huge fan of contemporary romances with athletes. Whenever I would answer that inevitable … Continue reading The Deal by Elle Kennedy
