I’m gonna start off by saying, yes I absolutely loved and enjoyed the book. Carrie Aaron’s is an automatic buy for me ever since I picked up her first book.
As much as I enjoyed the book, I have to admit that in a way Leah ended up right back where she started: letting go of parts of herself for a man. Don’t get me wrong, she loves London and wants to be there yada yada, but I personally don’t really think SHE progressed all that much from Chapter one. Case and point, she continues to give him chances that even he admits he doesn’t deserve.
Killian on the other hand, has so much character growth. He starts out as the bad boy we love to hate, and you can actually see his demeanor start to change for Leah. He is the reason I loved this book, and if the author had wrote solely from his POV, it would’ve been 5 stars for me.

This is my first novel by this author and I truly enjoyed reading it. There were a lot of times that Leah drove me crazy and I wanted to slap here. Despite that I felt like Leah was very relatable. What girl or woman hasn't moved their life around for their significant other only to realize they have lost who they are? I enjoyed the connection between Leah and Killian. I did wish we got a little more scenes with her roommates and Killian's team mates. I'm a huge fan of the EPL so I enjoyed reading a book that was in that world.
This book knocked my socks of in a perfect contemporary kind of way. I am a sucker for a sports romance but not all in this genre are equal, however this is now one of my favourites. It drew me in from page one with characters I could invest in even if the main character, Killan had a serious sprinkling of a**hole. Killan was a walking complication with a simple approach - treat all women the same, expendable and usable. There wasn't much to like about him.....until there was. The more I got under Killan's skin, the more I understood his behaviour, but I still called him names under my breath.
"Leah Watson is like a Rubik's Cube. Every time I think I've got her figured out, she shows me another side, infinitely complicating my plan to seduce her."
Leah was a naive young woman. Her past relationship had moulded her into someone even she didn't recognise. I loved her growth and sass in this book. She had strength when it really counted and I really warmed to her as time went on.
The backdrop to this story was American girl meets Brit footballer. The context of Brit footballer was written so well. The dialogue was authentic, amusing and real. I enjoyed the London setting and the meeting of these two's different cultures and their contrasting lives.
This is my first book by Carrie Aarons and I am suitably impressed by her story telling and writing. I look forward to reading more from her. If you enjoy a sports romance, I highly recommend this one.
