I’m excited to jump back into the Vegas Aces world. Rivalry is an enemies to lovers, second chance romance and I’m already hooked on Jolene and Lincoln story. Jolene is a single mom who gets her dream job to report on the Vegas Aces at the same time that Lincoln takes over as the head coach of the team. These two have a bad history between their families which caused a rift in their relationship but years later they still have that spark. I am looking forward to see where this this going to go with all the odds that are stacked against them.

A cliffhanger??? if i had known that the author prefers to have series based off one couple i would’ve steered clear.

Be aware, this book is part one and doesn't really conclude. Saying that, it gives good background on the relationship between the Bailey and Nash families. Lincoln has been appointed head coach of the Vegas Aces and Jolene is appointed lead correspondent to a local news channel. Their history is difficult but what impact is that going to have on their working future?? Looking forward to the second part of this story.

Rɪᴠᴀʟʀʏ, book one in the Vegas Aces: The Coach series by Lisa Suzanne, is the beginning of Lincoln and Jolene's story.

I love all of the Vegas Aces series from the very beginning with JD5 but this series is not starting great for me. 

Lincoln and Jolene were childhood sweethearts until their families started feuding which tore them apart. Twenty years later, they are both in Las Vegas, both working for the Vegas Aces and both are experiencing old feelings that can cause them a world of trouble.

The tension between Lincoln and Jolene is so thick. I am struggling to like Jolene and her ego. There are also a lot of side characters who are rubbing me the wrong way, which is expected at the beginning of any Vegas Aces series and this one starts as an extremely slow burn.

Another cliffhanger leaves us wondering what is going to happen next and I'm hoping things start to pick up in the next book.

Get ready for…
