The Ex Effect by Karla Sorensen
4.0
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Loved it! Would recommend, almost perfect and likely would reread.
Ava has had a decade-long crush on Matthew Hawkins, a man who was once off-limits when she was a young teen. Now, as one of the best defensive players in the league, Matthew has come out of retirement and joined the team she works for. As the publicist for the Washington Wolves, Ava has to work closely with Matthew and he really makes this job easy. They find out that their attraction mutual, the chemistry between them is intense and complicated. To keep their relationship under wraps, they decide to keep it a secret from the press and her family. However, as with all secrets, the truth eventually surfaces, leading to an unpredictable outcome.
Ava was great to read about and she really dominated her work environment. All the players loved her and she managed them so well without being constantly hit on. Matthew was so self aware which was great because he knew that Ava wasn't at where he was and waited for her to catch up. These two had such an effortless romance where they can communicate and really enjoy each other.
Tropes: workplace romance, sports romance (NFL), forbidden, sister's ex
Triggers: toxic family
