This was my first book by Annmarie and I truly loved it! My only complaint is wishing the book was longer because the storyline and characters were wonderful. I loved the cute, funny and flirty banner between Mick and Jessica, and found their attraction and appreciation for each other’s personality attributes and not just physical attributes - how handsome or beautiful, hot or sexy the other person was.
For a novella length story the author fit a good amount of storyline and character development. I am
interested in reading more stories by this author.

I'm a bona fide mood reader and this period is not for too sweet reads.
This novella is a bit too cute for my current reading mood.
Fake relationship with a single mother and a sports romance. It kinda has it all!
It is a part of a series that I assume is equally sweet. I liked the characters, I liked the writing and even though I didn't enjoy it as much because of the above-mentioned reasons, I do give it 4 stars.
I'm pretty sure I would enjoy the whole series at some point in the future.
Don't let my mood deter you from reading!
Thank you to @BookSirens for the ARC!

The story
Jessica is the younger sister of Avery, from the second book in Annmarie Boyle’s Storyhill series “Don’t let the music die”. She is a single mom who has finally got her act together after Avery handed out some tough love. She has her own place with her son Wyatt and is working with an interior designer, her dream job. At a charity event, she meets professional football player Mick. Soon his team’s marketing manager has concocted a fake dating story to get some positive press, but the faking is short lived as both Jess and Mick are pretty taken with each other.
My thoughts
I went straight from finishing reading book one in the series (Love me like a love song), to re-reading book 2 (Don’t let the music die), and then continued to read Jess’ story. The three stories are interconnected and while I think they could be read independently, reading them in order felt like watching a streaming series non-stop when it’s just too good to stop! ❤️

It’s been a long time since I’ve hated a main character so much, but Jessica McWilliams is one of the most annoying, abrasive, and aggravating women I’ve encountered in this genre. She is enslaved to her past in a way that is extremely unhealthy and she’s an ass to her family when they try to help her.
In addition the way she treats Mick, who is a saint compared to her, is really gross. I genuinely couldn’t like her less if I tried.
Otherwise, the story is good. The other characters are likable. The plot line is fine and would’ve worked fine even with a slightly tolerable main character.

This is my first time reading this author and I’m glad I took a chance. In Fine Tuned we meet Jessica - a busy, hardworking single mom and Mick - hot, hot football player who is just trying to get his post football life in order, especially setting up and working with his foundation. There is the perfect meet cute and that’s where things get complicated.
This novella is part of a series but can be read as a stand-alone even though I feel reading Avery (Amy-Lynn) and Matt’s story would have been helpful in understanding some of Jessica’s reluctance and fears in this story.
I picked this book because football - DUH! But if you’re looking for some football this may not be the book for you… this is more a love story between a girl and guy who just happens to play football and in that - it excelled.
Jessica and Mick had their lives planned out and love wasn’t in their immediate plans but while they were busy making plans life just happened! Definitely glad I grabbed this ARC.
