Ok but not great

I liked the characters but this was a middling effort from two authors that I usually enjoy. The story relies heavily on the joking and banter between the couple but I definitely felt that it could have been dialed down a notch. Cracking a “bro” joke during a steamy scene just makes the MCs seem juvenile. But all in all this is a cute story with limited stakes. Ok but not great.

cute, but predictable AF, nothing fresh, no angst 

Didn’t really feel any chemistry between the characters

*** I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book***
Rookie Move is a wonderfully sweet forbidden romance between a brother's best friend and teammate. Rookie Move is a fun story about two teammates taken by surprise when feelings start to surface for one and resurface for another.

Garrett and Ramsey are a joy from start to finish. Their chemistry sizzles throughout and makes you wonder how they could be so blind to their own feelings for so long.

Another winning aspect of Rookie Move is the lighthearted snarky banter between Garrett and Ramsey, they are so utterly clueless as to their feelings that you can't help but smile.

These authors wrote a great romance and makes me eager for their next one.

Loved it. Thank god there wasn’t a forced coming out scene because lord I am tired of those.

Thoughts while reading:
-was happy they told Houston early on and he handled it well. It was refreshing it wasn’t made into a thing and created drama when revealed like most other books with this trope
-it’s great Ramsey no longer gives his dad money, but why does he even open the door and let him in, just to hear the insults? Let him tire himself out by banging on the door all night
-I hate people walking in on you in a book. Also, how on earth could it have been Ramsey’s dad? I missed the jump from Garrett’s place to Ramsey’s somehow, but why would Ramsey’s dad have any access at all? He should gate his yard in the first place (would think a famous QB would have to) and have a restraining order against his dad. Later Garrett’s apologizing for kissing him, but they were in the privacy of Ramsey’s house, how much safer can you get?

Sweet, liked how they decided to deal with their relationship with the public. And nice they weren’t outted against their will, again like most books with the public figure trope.
