Not by the Playbook: A Fake Relationship Football Romance (Wrong Place, Right Time, #1)

Review: Not by the Playbook - Ivy Hunt - September 2020



I did request this book from Booksirens as the cover had attracted me and when it comes to fake relationships, normally they are hit/misses and I do on the odd occasion enjoy them along with the odd sports romance. I have to say Not by the Playbook by Ivy Hunt surprised me with how good it was. Something that I had missed as most romances seems to be all about sex these days and that element and it loses the human connection and relationship side of things. I loved the chemistry that this pair had and then having the bonus of the sister staying playing the buffer in the relationship was a great addition. In Not by the Playbook, our main female lead has just scored an interview and been shortlisted for her dream job and so Rebecca and her friends go out to celebrate. Rebecca ends up having a one-night stand with a football player Logan. When she goes to leave, who does she see - but her potential new boss who turns out to be Logan's older judgemental sister. Rebecca doesn't want her new boss to think she is a floozy, so on the spot, she and Logan enter into a fake relationship. Of course, though when she does get the job and their relationship comes to an end - have real feelings be developed? I also loved the ending of this book as it had a different twist to it than the majority of other fake romances as the character Rebecca was written with a strong integrity compass. If you love the trope of football romances and fake relationships, then check out Ivy Hunt's "Not by The Playbook" today.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she
