I love reading Kennedy Ryan books they are heartfelt, deep, loving and REAL! Although we are reading a story you are definitely reading a book about LIFE!
This book is about a fierce woman that fights all out for the people she cares for, including family, friends and one man who deserves a second chance. Man how to review this one?!! I’m going to try my best but you kind of go on a rollercoaster of emotions, and so you go on a journey whilst reading this one.
It starts back in time 10 years previous where Jared and Banner have been studying together, getting to know each other and learnt that they both like each other. Buttt things didn’t quite work out well for them, 10 years later and they fall in the same path and Jared decides its time to fight for his girrrrl..
Gosh so many emotions, I am not going to delve more into this one but let me tell you this!! I LOVED EVERY CHARACTER honestly you may decide you shouldn’t like one or two but I did, I routed for them all.. this is a story about faith, love, cherishing the ones you love. And fighting hand and nail for what’s important. And yes many second chances, a chance to start over and give or take what’s on offer.. Jared is an Alpha male and just the way I love heroes, he goes after what he wants and doesn’t take any chances.. so I suppose this story is as much about Jared learning his way as much as Banner giving him a chance. If I’m making sense? LOL..
If you love Kennedy’s writing style, love books of life, love, romance and family then be sure to read this one..
Oh how I’ve missed reading an Elle Kennedy sports romance and I’d say this is on par with The Deal and Garrett and Hannah back at the beginning!!
What’s it about? Brenna is the daughter of the coach of Briar yet she needs a favour off her rival in the other Hockey team Harvard, she shouldn’t be toying with him yet she most definitely gets involved in good ole Jake Connery. One fake date for one real date is the plan yet one leads into another right? And well they just fit in my opinion, sometimes the heart wants what the heart wants and there’s nothing you can do about it.
This is an enemies to lovers romance, one I really loved reading. I’d say I really loved Brenna’s no s*** attitude and therefore her nonsense character, I kind of admire her. The chemistry between Brenna and Jake was sizzling, I felt completely lured into their banter and although this is a sexy romance, I really loved reading their story. They’re both very much hard workers dealing with family issues, work issues and it has a plot I never got bored of. Even the hockey which I don’t honestly understand greatly as I’m from the UK still it kept me on my toes throughout.
Jake is sexy and I could completely vision him in my mind while I read this one. Saw who he was and what he worked so hard to be. He’s that asshole kind of bad boy that becomes an ideal sweetheart that you want to fall in love yourself..
I highly recommend this one, the writing was so good too gripping, fun, enjoyable and gripping.
I really enjoyed this.. and it’s so good to rekindle with some of the characters in the off campus series, which I ADORED!!
This to start is a great opposite attracts read.. let’s start shall we... Kk we have Fitz he is what we call quiet, broody and keeps himself to himself oh and also pretty nerdy. That said he is also sexy, has tattoo’s and who doesn’t love a introverted tattoo’d hockey player that also draws and creates games... say yesss meeee 🤘🏻
Then we have an outgoing blonde, fashion major that is also an extrovert who somehow creates messes and attention wherever she goes. And that’s summer.. On first glances I was slightly judgemental of Summer, you kind of feel there’s nothing special, then as you read you REALLY see and FEEL who she is and I was all in favour for these two and who they were together, cause they bounced off each other so well and as far as summer you truly see the kind of heart of person she truly is.
One thing that spoke to my heart more than anything else is without giving much away is that it does deal with a form of a learning disability and that was a breathe of fresh air, so many ppl deal with it and it was nice to read how it was dealt with in a heartwarming way..
I love sports romance reads, it’s my go to read when I just want to shut off.. If your like me and enjoy this genre then please dive in, you won’t regret it..
Enjoy, Kt Xoxo

I do not even know how to review this extraordinary book, this is one of those reads that just blows you away. I will take these words and story with me for a while to come. And as far as the plot goes I’m going to keep this simple. My feelings, so I’m sorry if I’m being slightly bláse about it all.. just bare with me..
This story took hold of my soul no joke right down to my bones..
This book takes place in the midst of the NFL but also about a prince and his princess where they fight to be together one way or another.. both Iris and Autumn will grab ahold of you somehow throughout the pages. But I also want to explain that while the game is a big part of the book and it is integrated in and out it is NOT ultimately what the story is truly about, this is not your normal sports romance. I just wanted to explain that and to have an open mind while diving in.
Though I just want to share that this story is for WOMEN, it could also be for men too no judgment here.. but ALL WOMEN should read this, understand it and live it with Iris.. I will tell you without giving anything away though, I haven’t cried whilst reading a book for a good while and this one, this one I had to just take a breather a time or two. But in those times I couldn’t stop thinking about them and needed to dive back in cause they held me captive to what was happening to them as people, as characters, as warriors.
I can also say I absolutely loved or hated every character. There was something that you could take for all.... and then YOU WILL FEEL if anything I felt lots, there was times that autumn and Iris weren’t side by side but I surely felt their presences spark of the pages when they were in close proximity. And also when they weren’t so together... Intense is a way to explain the magnitude of the words that made me think, mull and swoon over Autumn and Iris.
Ultimately this is the kind of read that you won’t stop thinking about, it is also about love in every aspect and learning to just be YOU. I am so thankful to Kennedy for taking the courage to write this story and seriously I want to kiss her myself cause it is what’s needed in this world. Bottom line the chemistry between Autumn and Iris was intense and that kept me on my toes likewise to everything else. It is an in-depth story that has many elements, so hard at times but also so beautiful..
Read it..

I loved loved loved these books.. I don’t know what to say other than I have fallen in love with these characters over time, and Gareth and Sloan are the icing on the cake. What I loved about Gareth is he is the mould that has kept the family together (alongside Vi his sister) and this was his story to tell.. I just loved how he gave himself whole in the most unique way, he’s a true gentleman. But he’s also a caregiver, a lover and a protector. I loved Sloan in that she faught for her life and the people she cared for. They were a great match. And I wholeheartedly loved this story pan out but at the same time I just adored this sensual lovable couple..
Also I’m from England, and I live not too far from where this story is set so I think it just spoke to my heart in many ways, including the fact that football is football to me in the UK not soccer LMAO... so if you enjoy sports romance then this is sure a top series to read and these two last were EVERYTHING..
Quick post.. . . ⭐️TOP FAVOURITES ⭐️ . I’m not going to write a big review for this series being that I have just enjoyed these reads so much.

Quick post.. . . ⭐️TOP FAVOURITES ⭐️ . I’m not going to write a big review for this series being that I have just enjoyed these reads so much. They’re not arcs I brought them and enjoyed the hell out of them from beginning to end. No pressure.. . . Anyhoo what I will say is I’m an English girl so when I read about Football in the English sense it spoke to my heart, I loved that it also came second to the romance and that this series is based on a family unit!! About brothers that argue but LOVE fiercely and unapologetically.. . . Gah love those Harris boys.. bring on Gareth’s story cause he intrigues meee and you know maybe even Vaughn cause I have a soft spot for him.. . . That is all.......more
I loveee Sam Towle books, they’re addicting and they just grab your attention. You don’t need to read too much between the lines and for me it’s the perfect getaway read. And in this one it’s a second chance Romance and that is my absolute favourite read cause you just feel the pain, the hunger and you want the healing. This is all that and more...
So what’s it about? Zeus is a heavy weight champion - a boxer!! He lives to box, he works out and he fights but back 4 years ago he let go of his true love. His childhood sweetheart but things happened and his head was somewhere else when he got big with his career....
Cam is strong, independent and loving.. but there’s something inside which screams fierce, she stands her own and on her own two feet. With a little girl on toe she’s a vibrant dancer that lost and got broke from Zeus, that said she holds her heart close to her sleeve and thinks with her head mostly..
What I loved about this, was as per norm it’s full of the feels but also full of the sexy. I love sports romances and I also adore second chance romances, this is equally good in both. It’s about family, loyalty but LOVE is the bottom line of this read.
I will say though this is very fast paced it didn’t take me long to read, so don’t expect lots of depth into it and just enjoy the romance for what it is.
Still one of my favourites and Sam just gave her all here.. and come on who doesn’t love that cover? Zeus is exactly what is portrayed in all that HOTNESS but also has a big heart and fights for everything he wants..
Enjoy Xoxo

I love love love sports romance reads, I love hot sweaty Alpha men. And then I love them fighting for their women and this read is pretty much that more.
So what's this about? This book is about an ex-puck bunny when we say that we mean a girl who runs after hockey players and the more the merrier.. Lindsay though had a bad time and so now left that all behind and so she studies, she's changing her future and that means cutting and running and staying on the straight and narrow. Well that is until she needs a maths tutor and Ryder comes to help, he just happens to be a hockey player so that's where things change. And frankly that's all I'm telling you in concern to what this book is about..
My feelings I loved loved loved Ryder, he is caring, loving, and slowly builds a friendship with Lindsay even if she doesn't want that. He pulls those walls down that surround her. Then he's also protective, sexy and then hard working. He works out and helps others so I suppose they both get by but they don't really live and that's why they need each other. I really enjoy books about characters that are happy to change themselves to learn how to live, and realise they need more even if that's against everything they live for.
This is very much high on the characters, I love books about characters that want to succeed in life and want to try to better themselves. It's also fun with added depth that keeps you turning the pages.
This is a sexy, sweet and heart warming romance with a little tid-bit of drama along the way. The perfect sexy NA sports romance read, that captures all the feels of young love.

Omg I'm sitting here thinking what a perfect read this was, all the butterflies, all the feels, EVERYTHING that I wanted and needed in this read it was.... It was honestly an read that ended with the biggest SMILE on my face, no word of a lie the words, the feelings and how Finn loved his girl just got better, and more intense the more I read. So I apologise if this review is slightly over the emotional side cause it was perfect in all the ways I thrive in when I pick Sports Romance up.
So what's it about? This book is about LOVE as the core of this story. I don't really know how to review this so I'm going to keep it simple. This is the reason why I love Kristen she story tells and pulls you into her world. Grabs hold of you until you finish. So what starts as a friends to lovers Romance leads to a more intense read. It's develops and you really see how much Finn loved Chester. But a little on the story, I'll say Finn is the quarterback to his team, a leader in his craft and that is easy for him, he knows how to lead. Yet what he finds hard is the emotional side of it all, that maybe just maybe he wants to be loved. Have something for him.
Chester is a professional photographer and the way they meet is 'ahem' intense and friendly, caring and sensual at the same time. Chester kind of makes Finn feel more at ease in their surroundings and that leads to a friendship and then the all the rest is history as they say.
I want you ALL to enjoy this read the way I have so I'm going to leave it there, just know this book is beautiful, arousing, deep. It gave me those butterfly feelings I love so much to feel when reading and MORE. It's PERRRFECCT omg I just felt LOVE AND LOVED by them. It kind of cocoons your every pore. There is no other way to explain it, the way Finn loved Chester and Chester- Finn makes me teary eyed.
So yeh that is all.. READ IT!

Oh boy!! I'm not really one for YA reads I'll be honest I love some of the sexy in it. That's said sometimes I try them and being I read the last book in this series I really wanted to continue on with this series. This through is a different couple, with different troubles, and different issues...
Jordan Tuttle and Amanda are the kind of hero and heroine where opposites attract, Jordan is Rich, popular and the star Quarterback at their school. Amanda is a regular, normal down to earth teen with the normal worries and struggles that you have at 17 years of age. But Jordan actually is attracted to the beauty of her and doesn't want the bitchy, winy girls that want to hang on to him like normal. This read is full of sweet angst, lots of #CuddlewithTuttle moments and the everyday teenager worries. Yet Tuttle is also the cold hearted, hard BAD boy and has a deeper turmoil with his family, so there's more going on with him. I love a stubborn, angry and yet broken hero's and Jordan was definitely that.
This is book one of two, I didn't realise that but I feel this is just the beginning of some sweet delicious teenager love. Jordan just needs to open up and let Amanda in!!! I'd recommend this to anyone who loves a page turner and also an angst lover. It's YA but also has mature content so I'd still recommend it to people who love NA aswell as YA!!
That is all...

BEST OF THE SERIES YET. Oh my gosh this was my fav, Ace, ace, ace. How I hated him after Jockblocked yet Jen Frederick wooed me with her magic and here I am in love with the Arsehole... Pure sports romance Gold is what this book is!!
So what's it about? Ace is starting new in a new college team, new life, new start! A fresh slate, he ultimately just wants to put his head down and win a championship within his new team as the QB! Well that is until Bryant makes him his new project and in project I mean make him into the loving and caring man he is. Just show his true potential until he's at a point he can be the perfect boyfriend for someone else. See where that's going? So I'll leave the rest for you to enjoy yourself but I will explain why I loved this so much...
Bryant OMG what a quirky sexy and lovable heroine. She was soooo funny and enjoyable to read. But she's very selfless and wants to please everyone else but herself. There is a vulnerability about her yet she's built a wall up that Ace is enjoying pulling down. I think though what I loved about her was her free giving nature, her easy exterior and that she was a family girl that loved BIG.
Ace Ace, the guy you will of detested back in Jockblocked is still an ASS yet that's just his personally, he just wants to be accepted by his team and be included in his unit. He's arrogant, mouthy, DIRTY MOUTHED which I LOVEDDDDD reading. But he is also caring to Bryant, he loves the people that are important and has no room for anyone else.. but hey who cares about that right?? I loved loved loved him..

I loveeeee sports romance, when a PA contacts you and says hey fancy reading this book, and I see a football on the cover then that's basically all I need LOL... They're my guilty pleasure, I love everything about them. This was a delicious read, a new author and I'll highly recommend it to anyone like moi who loves a bad boy turned into a one woman man..
So what's it about? Hunters a player, lover of all things to do with the game, drinking and the ladddddiessss Yet he's getting out of hand so his father hires a PR to assist in his look and how he's perceived to the public.
Jo is totally business but she's normal, caring, average, and down to earth. So there's just something about Jo that pulls Hunter in her direction and that leads to a one night stand that leads to a complication that leads to a set up of sorts to the public eye.. An arrangement of sorts but an arrangement that leads to more and there it all gets complicated.
I'm not on the norm into insta love-lust reads which this read kind of is, but I found Hunters bad boy exterior to open up and find a gentle, caring a loving man underneath somewhat endearing. I really fell for his demur and gentle heartwarming character that he turned into. There is something broken in him that Jo helps to mend and so a somewhat hard hero turned gentle was really lovely to read.
If you love an asshole turn into family man. A sexy hot read. A book on a strong heroine and also a kind of lighthearted romance mixed with some angst then this sure is your next book.

Ok I'm a hugeee Olympic Games fan, I just love the team spirit and how everyone as a country just pulls together to support each other. Then add gymnastics to the mix and I was both feet in, gymnastics is one of my fav sports and my daughter is into gymnastics too. My week revolves around a twice a week schedule of gymnastic practices and a child who can't keep still. So yeh I really couldn't wait for this book.. Plus she's a new author to me so I really wanted to try her after so many book friends have recommended Rachel Grey to me I was alrighty then let's do this.
Onto the review Brie has come from a single parent family and no money. She's had to work her way up by putting her EVERYTHING into this sport but ultimately she is one of the best, in Rio she's lined up to win Gold Stars and well she needs them to give herself but mostly her mum the life she wants to give back to her for all the money time she's given to Brie to get her to be an Olympic champion. So off she huddles to spend a month practicing with no other than dark, handsome and angry coach Eric who since day one fights a good fight with Brie.
There is a definite love/Hate relationship here and basically Eric has no time for second chances. He trains the best and he won't tolerate much. That said Brie doesn't give 1 iota and answer's back because well her life depends on this. And she'll do what she damn well pleases, in the gym world anyway.. She's not having a coach pull her down.
I loved the Olympics side of it all, because of that honestly the first half had me excited and nervous for Brie and her team mates. But then throughout both characters are strong people. You have a strong kick ass heroine and then you have a angry darkish hero who really and truly underneath just wants to be loved like the rest of us. But two strong characters = to some pretty intense, Fiesty and angry sex scenes..
I will though say, that in my honest opinion for me.. The relationship between these two came second to everything else. They wanted each other, but they fought for it throughout the book. I enjoyed their banter and the banter between their team, but it was a slow read... Yet one where I kept turning the pages as it was on the tip of my fingers, you know I could see them together yet they couldn't.. If I'm making sense?!!
OMG I forgot how much I loved Eden's writing when I picked this book up, you know time continues on and then you go OK it's time for my next ARC... And then something magical happens no joke I am mesmerized by the essence of the characters, the storytelling and Eden's ability to pull you in. And then there's the writing.. Sensual and poetic all in one package... So did I enjoy it?? HELL YESS..
"No matter where I go, Ransom, my heart will stay with you."
**Firstly this is NOT A STANDALONE you must read Thick Love first, this book is a continuation of Ransom and Aly's story so my review may include some of that, I will endeavor though to try my best to make this as spoiler free as possible.**
So what's it about? Let me tell you, when I finished Thick Love a few months ago there was a WTF moment? I was are you F'N serious? Did that really happen??? BOMBSHELL so when I went into Thick & Thin I honestly didn't know what was going to happen aside from Eden pulling my heart in every direction. She she sure knows how to do that. Ransom and Aly though LOVE each other and throughout this book I felt for both these beautiful sensual characters, it just was a story where they needed to work hard to get their prize.
Random and Aly were kids when they were together previously, so now adults Aly wants Ransom to understand that HE NEEDS TO SEE HER and not the game. Aly and Ransom are characters that feel, and thrive on feeling. But there was a good amount of push and pull. Ransom needed to fight, and Aly needed to forgive. I had many tears, yet at the same I smiled a lot and yelled for them to just be..
Gah Ransom is one hell of an Alpha Hero who knows what he wants. And imagine some highly angry man who wants something he can't exactly get straight away. Hand on chest moments for me.
I'm not going to tell you more, except that Eden Butler knows how you break you apart and then put you back together. Above this is about two people who are meant to be together. It's about Kona and Keira too and about a family that knows what it's about to fall, to get up and keep moving. It's about fighting, it's about LOVE and about being happy.
Then there's Eden's writing, I highlighted so much in this book. Eden's writing alone is sensual and poetic. It's high on the plot and low on sex yet I was panting in my seat. There's just a magnetic pull, she managed to pull my heart, and make me be at the happy at the same time. All in all Eden knows how to story tell..

I love love love Sports romances, I mean really they take me back to being at college, exploring my youth and that whole time was a good time for me and so I love to capture that again.. this one though I really enjoyed because in truth in my honest opinion has got to be the most real story I've read off Elle to date.
So what's it about? Tucker is playing hockey at Briars and looking forward to new experiences, and Sabrina is the stand offish girl that 'cough' has had and is the one Dean hates in the Score... buttttt enter Tuck and there is something that both Sabrina and Tucker want and let's face it, it's to let go and forget and they're in it for that alone.. we'll kind of because Tucker sure has a heart of gold..
Sabrina though in previous books is deemed as the cold heartless cow with no emotion, but she's GOAL orientated and that's all she aims to give.. yet what you didn't know in the previous books that I got from this one was her vulnerability. She just needed to be loved in truth. Her life, her past, her experiences are very real and so as a reader I did get annoyed with her actions at times but I understood why she chose the path she chose and how she got there in the end.
I suppose what I'm saying is although this is a sports romance, with many sexy times and Tuckers dirty mouth and COCK were beauttttiifulllll to read LOL this was an emotional book, full of lots of heartfelt moments and a couple that just fell in love and I love to love these kind of reads so I'll definitely recommend it.
Why not 5 Ok this is a longggg book, there is a lot that went on that IMO didn't all have to be there. And also what was stated in the blurb I wished that wasn't revealed I kind of get why it was but I was waiting for it to happen. Yet as I read it I still loved their relationship thrive and blossom. This was definitely a slow burn read but it took time to get there....
Overall I love Elle Kennedy and I ADORE this series and I'm hoping for more to come from her in the future. FITZY MAYBE??
