Defensive Mindset by Wendy Temple

3.0

Defensive Mindset for me is a hard book to review. Typically, I like to just talk about if I liked a book or disliked a book or struggled to finish a book but still enjoyed the story or still like the author. This one is difficult because it had potential, and I do not know the author, and some parts I enjoyed. If you are looking for a sports romance… this may leave you wanting more. I wouldn’t categorize it that way, even though the cover may lead you in that direction. My biggest issue with the book was I didn’t like the character Fran. I was so off put with this character everything else just looked gray. Perhaps if I had liked the characters more, and actually wanted them to get together it would have worked. I could even overlook the no so healthy semiprofessional athlete. Fran is by far not my favorite, but Jessie.. wow.. I would read a book about her falling in love.. not with Fran but someone else. I guess I just did read a book about it, but I kind of want a different one. I liked Jessie but unfortunately my like of one half of a couple is not enough to overcome me actively rooting against Fran’s happiness. I was also rooting for Jessie’s next girlfriend who is going to be amazing. I can’t wait to read that book
