Amy Daws delivers another amazing romance in her latest release, Sweeper!

I love the Harris brothers and even though this is a standalone cross over story, it still made me swoon in multiple places.

This is the story of Daphney Clarke and Zander Williams. Zander is an up and coming professional soccer/football player in the US. When he stumbles across a secret after the tragic loss of his father, he’s determined to get to the bottom of it.

When scouts from Bethnal Green come knocking, he jumps at the chance to play Premier League football in London.

I loved this book! It had me laughing and then had me crying. It’s the perfect mix of emotions!

Daphney and her bestie, Phoebe are hysterical and I love their banter. And of course we get to catch-up with our favourite Harris clan!

Definitely one of the best books I’ve read this year and one I would highly recommend!

"The biggest thing I've come to find
Is that my heart just isn't mine.
It was yours the moment that you read that book."

I'm late to the Amy Daws party, but I'm catching up. I'm going to be very honest here and tell you I really wanted to read this book. I have it on pre-order, but I wanted the ARC, and I was so bummed when I didn't get it! My workmates heard all about it, believe me.
And then I did get it, and my day got a whole of a lot better.

This is the story of Zander and Daphney, and it's sweet, heartwarming, and perfect.

"He's a footballer." I roll my eyes. "And he's annoying."
"The best ones always are."

I love Zander. He's is wonderfully clueless about British English, which led to some awesome laugh-out-loud moments for me. He's also clueless about flirting with a woman who is not immediately head-over-heels over him, which led to even funnier moments. But I love how open and how in touch with his feelings he is. He's a dangerous combination - I love alphas, but the combination of sweet and sexy always does me in!

"When she looks straight at me like that, it often takes my breath away."
Daphney... can I say I want to be her? She has a great personality, I love how she takes zero shit from anyone and stands up for herself, I love how far she's come in life even though she's had to deal with some tough stuff. She's a fighter, through and through, and I especially loved how she gave Zander a hard time and made him work for it! (And I hate people who snooze their alarms too!)

"I told you I'm like a retriever and very trainable."
"And I told you I'm a cat person."

Their banter is awesome. I loved how he kept screwing up, mixing up his words, and mucking up whenever she's around. The attraction is there, but it's not easy for them to give in to it.
Daphney is dealing with stuff from her past. Zander is dealing with his father's death and moving to a whole different country where football is taken a lot more seriously. But everything about them is deeper than it seems.

One kiss, however, changes all of it. And what a kiss! It's enough for them to think they can be neighbors with benefits without catching annoying feelings. As it turns out, that may prove dangerous. For both of them. But the game is on! And let me tell you, Zander sweeps her off her feet (no pun intended).

There are some seriously swoony moments between them, and hot moments too. There is a lot of family in this book, not only the Harrises, but also the family you choose for yourself.
I was wrapped up in all the feelings in this book, and all of it drew me in. I got pretty emotional over it too, because my heart broke for them in different ways.

"At a time I didn't know where I belonged in this world, you made me feel at home. (...) If you were there, I was home."
I think they were both afraid of what could be, afraid of the 'what if it doesn't work?'. Until they realized that it doesn't matter, and they can work through whatever it is. There's not on separate teams, and there's no game to be won. There's only them.

Yep, Zander and Daphney are pretty much perfect. And so is this book!

Thank you, Amy, for trusting me with an ARC. It really meant so much to me!
