Match Penalty by Kenna King
4.5

 I’m new to Kenna King’s books, but boy did I enjoy this second chance romance. Since this is the first book I’ve ever read by Kenna, I know I would have enjoyed it more if I had read the previous ones, but I’m going to catch up. I’m invested in finding out what happened in the other couples’ lives. And because of this it was a bit difficult for me to get into it at first.

It didn’t take long though to fall in love with Cammy and JP. JP is back after one and a half year away from the game after an accident that cost him an injury, the team he was currently with, and most of all it cost him Cammy. He’s hell bent on getting her back, even though he is his own worst enemy when it’s a matter of doing things that are good for him. He always puts other people’s best interests first and his come last.

Cammy is still extremely hurt by what had happened with JP during their one night together. She doesn’t want to get closer to him again, but his pull is too strong too resist. Will she be able to overcome her fears and doubts?

Thank you @chasingbooks.pr and author @kennakingbooks for the opportunity to read this wonderful steamy, second chance romance. All opinions are my own.
