A review by swreid1981
Jock Row by Sara Ney
4.0
Over the last year, I’ve slowly being reading through Sara’s Douchebag series and I love them. She’s probably one of my favorite NA romantic comedy authors, and Jock Row solidified that for me. One of the things I loved about Jock Row was the formatting of the story. It was told over the course of several Friday’s, alternating between both Scarlett and Rowdy’s point of view. It was unique, flowed well, and a delight to read. Not only that, it really allowed us to focus on these two characters falling in love. We were there for every part of their story, and I loved that. There’s was a bit of a slow burn too which I found to be delightful.
Characterwise, Scarlett our heroine, came off so weird and ridiculous in the first chapter that it took me a while to really warm up to her. Initially, all I felt for was embarrassment, like when you watch a move and the character is so awkward and cringeworthy you almost have to shut it off. But I pushed through, and once we were through those first few painful minutes, I actually really grew to like Scarlett. She was simply naive to the whole baseball world, which is one of the main things that Rowdy likes about her. It was fun to see to see her grow through the book, and how each Friday she grew just a little braver.
Oh and then we have Rowdy. I have loved every hero that Sara has written, but for me Rowdy takes the cake. He was an absolutely perfect hero for me. He was sweet, cute, and saw past Scarlett’s big bulky sweaters, and awkwardness to truly fall in love with her. He was also funny, and his inner dialogue was spot on. Plus he was continually willing to sit out in the cold to get to know Scarlett, and let the relationship grow and bloom.
Overall, I cannot wait to see what other treasures Ney has in store for us in this series. Jock Row was just an utter delight of an NA sports romance, and I can’t wait for more!
4.25/5 Stars!
