Sexy football and sunshine
Format: Kindle
I adore Lauren Rowe, her writing style, and her words written from her heart. When I check other readers reviews, I have trouble seeing we read the same book. There are some very critical reviews that are novella size, and miss the point of a fun, spicy, sports romance. This story captured me from the beginning chapter. I love football, and this book hit all my boxes. The characters are well developed from the main characters to all the secondary characters. Iris is much stronger than she thinks, and a beautiful ray of sunshine and positivity. She grows under Roman's love and support. In turn she gives all her love and support to him. I loved the spice, the banter, the new friendships for both. Lauren does amazing research for all her books. For me, this book took me away from the reality of this country, and I so appreciated that. Roman is a giver and Iris loves him for who he is without his superstar persona. Refreshing read and one I will reread again. As for Iris's ex, he receives the karma he deserves. Roman's son is the cutest, and reminded me of one of my grandsons. The meet cute definitely was one of the best I have read. Enjoy this fun, sexy, spicy filled romance. Each book that Lauren writes, I feel she cannot top, yet for me, she always does. Thank you Lauren.
