I absolutely adored this book. I couldn’t put it down once I started reading it and devoured it so quickly.

The relationship between Garrett and Weston was fantastic and I loved the fact that Garrett‘s brother did not have an issue with it at all and was actually very supportive with the progression of the relationship. This book was very low angst and I found myself smiling and laughing multiple times during this whole romantic adventure.

They brought out the best in each other and I was so glad in how it transitioned.

✰3.5 stars✰ rounded up

I didn’t know what the fuck I was doing, or where I was going, or why I suddenly wanted him so much, it was hard to breathe.


This book was super low angst and overall a pleasant read.

Our main characters, Garrett and Warner, feel almost indistinguishable to me. Garrett was a little cockier in the first half of the book but by the end both of them almost felt like the exact same personality. There wasn’t anything wrong with this necessarily, just if you’re looking for characters who read more independent and have a chemistry because of that this might not be your jam.

Despite feeling very similar when reading between the two perspectives, the banter between them is great and helps draw them as their own characters. But I wished we would have gotten a little more romance as their situation started to develop. What we did get though, and I’m not complaining, was a plethora of sexy scenes.

He was supposed to be an itch I’d scratched, then moved on, but somehow he had burrowed beneath my skin, sank down, and rooted himself in the marrow of my bones, and yeah, that was some poetic fucking shit, but it was how I felt. He’d somehow become a part of me, this extension of myself that lived inside me.


I really needed a book where I could turn my mind off, read some spice, and have an ending that feels good and this book delivered that for me. It’s not very plot driven but that wasn’t what I was in the mood for this week so it genuinely just hit a good spot for me.

Definitely recommend if you’re looking for something fun, quick and spicy!

This is my second read thru of this book as I try and go back to review books I neglected the first time around. 

Rookie Move is a cute spirts romance with all the fun tropes that genre entails: Bi Awakening, Secret Relationship, High Profile Lifestyle,  That friends with benefits “I’m just showing him the ropes…really” trope that seems unique to sports centered romance, and some of the funniest dialogue I’ve come across. 

I liked it the first time, and even more the second. Would definitely consider reading the rest of the series.

3.25 stars. Cute, but a bit too dudebro for my taste and the book didn't feel like something I hadn't read before. Lots of sequel potential though.

This was super cute and super hot. I thought with Ramsey being closeted there would be a lot more angst but I was wrong. This book was definitely more on the lighthearted side of things which I really enjoyed. I adored Garrett. He was such a cocky little shit, but not in an annoying way. He worked hard and earned the right to be cocky about his talent.

The romance was funny in that neither of these idiots realized they were basically in a monogamous relationship. Friends with bennies my ass haha. They craved each other and not just in bed. It was actually really sweet seeing them all of a sudden clue in. And shout out to Houston, Garretts brother and Ramseys bff, for being a stand up guy. I'm hoping he gets his own HEA at some point in this series. Tucker too, but with him I get the vibes his book may lie the way of enemies to lovers with a certain rival team and if so I am so there for it!!
