Kodi Davey is a huge soccer fan and dreams of managing a team's socials one day. Unfortunately she might've ruined her chances when, during her crazy college years, she went viral at a game for … public indecency. So when she finally gets an interview with the Destin Dastards FC, the manager is reluctant to give her the position. But he does offer her a chance to prove she’s changed, by being the grumpy keeper’s PA.

Olli Kean believes that his hard work speaks for him. He’s here to play soccer, not perform for a crowd. Too bad for him, the new second-string keeper can do both, and if Olli doesn’t do more to draw in an audience, it could be his last season with the Dastards. To give him a fighting chance, the team manager assigns him a PA with social media experience. Too bad for Olli, this PA is his childhood crush, his first kiss, and the girl he never really stopped thinking of. And she’s forgotten all about him.

These two Daunted Dastards have a lot to overcome: Kodi’s reputation and Olli’s forgettable presence. But can they do that without rebuilding their forgotten trust? And maybe rekindle an old flame while they're at?

MY REVIEW


Kodi is such a big soccer fan that she might have kinda sorta gone overboard showing it when she was in college. But in her present, she dreams of managing a soccer team's socials. All she has to do is help the Destin Dastards' goalie overhaul his grumpy image, then the boss will give her the job she wants. Easy, right?


Olli cannot believe that his childhood friend and first crush is his new PA and she doesn't remember him! That's a major problem, too, because he has to work with her, and he can't help but still be pining for her. He's a little upset she doesn't remember him, he's still crushing on her, and he shouldn't be thinking any of these thoughts. That's not exactly the best way to start a relationship, is it.

Gah, these two are so freaking adorable! Snarky, witty with spicy chemistry. I haven't read a lot of soccer romances, but with the World Cup coming up, this is the perfect story to get me in the mood for it. I love the found family aspect, the fact that Olli definitely fell first, and Kodi is the perfect definition of hot mess who makes it work by being actually amazing.

Review: Waiting for You by Kate McBrien

Review of Waiting for You by Kate McBrien Justin and Lucy are apart, but for how long? Lucy's staying with her parents, but knows she needs to get out and start living her life again. But when she gets a chance to go to London, it just may be her chance to reunite with the man whose soul has been entwined with hers for centuries upon centuries. But first, our two fated lovers will have to not only reunite, but stay together, beat the odds and the people and/or forces who are trying to keep them apart. Waiting for You is a great followup to Discovering You. Justin and Lucy's story is exciting and passionate, and the mystical/fantasy/paranormal aspect just adds another interesting layer to their already wonderful connection. I normally don't read a lot of paranormal/fantasy/sci-fi romance anymore, but I loved it here in Waiting for You. It's subtle, but ever present and as I said, just makes their story all the more intriguing. I can't wait for the conclusio...
