Title: Balance 
Author: Lucia Franco
Series: Off Balance #1
Rating: ☆☆☆☆.5/5 

I really did enjoy this book. I found that learning more about gymnastics was very intriguing. I also can't help but love Adrianna's love for gymnastics and her drive. She never gives up. Adrianna is strong and resilient for her age. She pushes through her pain and has the drive to become good enough for the Olympics. Coach Kova is a sexy Russian God so it's no surprise that Adrianna would find him attractive. The passion and love for gymnastics brings Coach Kova and Adrianna together. Everyday they spend together, it gets harder and harder to ignore. I loved the angsty build up, stolen glances and lingering touches between Adrianna and Kova. This book does get quite hot and spicy. I also really liked getting to know each character especially Coach Kova. We get to know about his past and what shaped him not only as a gymnast but as a man which only makes him more attractive. I'm really excited to start book two and see what Franco has in store for us readers in the rest of this series! I do believe I'm going to experience all the emotions in this series and I can't wait. I guess I'm a glutton for punishment!! 😂
