Becca has hit another enemies-to-lovers sports romance out of the park! I swear I don't know a thing about soccer (football) but I will pick up one of Becca's sports romances over any other sports romance out there. With enemies to lovers being my all-time favorite trope, I know I will not be left disappointed and by the end, I will have added another couple to my evergrowing list of favorites.
Jordan and Theo just might have moved their way to the top of my favorite couples from Becca though. The bickering and antagonizing throughout the majority of the book didn't just bring that tension to a mouthwatering boil it also added quite a bit of humor. It was like they just had to go out of their way to annoy or instigate a fight with the other but at the same time, they were adorably hilarious. Jordan's confidence was infectious and I loved the way that got under Theo's skin even once he started noticing Jordan in a more tempting way. And when that spark officially struck for the both of them I couldn't get enough of the push and pull. They could go from cold to hot and back to cold again within seconds without managing to make me feel like I had whiplash lol. Instead, I just wanted more of it!
I also really liked that the book is split into three separate parts. I feel like in order to lay the groundwork for their feelings towards each other from beginning to end there was a lot of backstory and build-up needed. The way it was split up I felt like I was reading a trilogy all rolled into one book where each part had a specific purpose in showing their road to happiness. From childhood animosity to adult rivalry, to curious lovers, and finally finding love in the most unexpected place this book had me wrapped up in their story from the first page. I cried - quite a bit, I swooned so dang hard, I drooled a little because helloooo spicy scenes (thanks for making them so competitive Becca lol); I even laughed so hard at one point I'm positive I pulled something lol. It was worth it though because I absolutely LOVED this freaking book!!
For those of you into stories like these, I have no doubt you will love it. If you are someone who typically likes to stay clear of sports romance or enemies to lovers I highly encourage you to throw caution to the wind and read this one. You just might find a new obsession! ;)
*Also, the little cameo from a certain someone - way to dangle a carrot in front of us Becca haha!
