Brynn’s guarded feelings toward Maxwell at the beginning and all her Sass made me love her so much! But when she did finally come around to him, I was a bit shocked that she’d trust Theo before even speaking to Maxwell. I know there has to be drama for a cliffhanger, but the lack of communication there was a bit shocking. I’ve never been disappointed yet with this series, Alexa brings all the romance and then some!

I really enjoyed this interracial romance set in the Playbook Denver Mustangs universe. Finally Brynn, the bar owner of Her, gets her own story. Brynn is somewhat of a workaholic and has never had a real relationship. The last thing she wanted to do was get involved with a professional football player but when Maxwell puts on a charm offensive, Brynn can't resist their undeniable chemistry. This was another smart, funny and SEXY sports romance. Highly recommended if you enjoyed the other books in the series. Great on audio too.

Intercepted ★★★★☆
Fumbled ★★★☆☆

After devouring the first two books of this series this month, I was super excited to get to Brynn’s story. She came off so sassy and I just knew I would love her book. Sadly friends, that didn’t happen.

What I did enjoy from this book was being back in the Mustang community and the friendship between the women. Every time these ladies are together I never fail to laugh. The way they are so in tune with one another and so protective of each other never seems to amaze me.

The actual story between Brynn and Maxwell? I don’t know another word for how I felt while reading except boring. I didn’t feel any chemistry between them and the turn from friendship to romance wasn’t believable to me. I can’t love a romance novel if there isn’t a romance to actually root for.

Besides the romance not being what I expected, the biggest disappointment for me was Brynn. I really don’t believe that this was the woman who was so sassy and had the best concept for a bar. It’s like she was a watered down version of the person we got to see in previous books. She came off a bit immature and almost whiney. I also didn’t like some of the choices that her character made.

While this didn’t live up to my expectations, I still plan on continuing this series and I hope the next book will be about Eloise!

Everything

Brynn and Maxwell’s story was everything! I have thoroughly enjoyed this series and all the characters in it and what I love the most is how the stories connect seamlessly. I can’t wait for book 4 to be released! Alexa Martin, keep them coming!!!

For a ‘romance’ book this one had less interaction between the protagonists and much more about Brynn and her place in her circle of friends, family and her place in society. The drama was a little late to come and easy to resolve but, nevertheless a good read
