Welcome to Litsy!

Charming small town atmosphere, comical moments, nice level of angst without unnecessary drama by a third party, raw characters, slow burn romance, delicious spice, swoon-worthy love declarations backed up with actions, a nice 'third break up' act without a real break up.
The reasons to recommend this book are endless.
This was the first book I've read by the author but surely will not be the last.

A few pages by firepit. 🔥

After binging through Ted Lasso TV series a few weeks ago, this football (soccer) themed romance seemed to be a nice light choice and I was not disappointed. I particularly enjoyed the characters on the young girls team and the common sense wisdom they showed. The romance was of course predictable, but still fun and there was some spice near the end of the book. Thanks to Edelweiss+ for the digital advance reading copy. 3.75/5 stars

Such a pity this small town romance in the middle of nowhere is so far from the goodness of “Spanish Deception“...
There were a few occasional laughs and smiles but the rest was kind of boring. The storyline and the development of the relationship even difficulties they endured wasn't even convincing.
It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either :)

A disgraced soccer exec reluctantly enlists the help of a retired soccer star in coaching a children‘s team in this smalltown love story in the vein of Ted Lasso and It Happened One Summer —from the New York Times bestselling author of The Spanish Love Deception.

Trying out my first book by this author. #aardvark

We love the dedication of this one 💕”For all the girls who might have lost it once or twice, so what? Let those beautiful feelings rain on them, babe.”

Fun fact: we‘re the only place in the world to get hardcover editions of certain romance titles 😎

Great day for #bookmail. I got both of my #aardvark and #botm boxes delivered today.😆

This summer, I've been embracing the "day off beach life" mentality, and this past Thursday I read over half of The Long Game before I packed up to go home.

I finished it yesterday, and y'all... Cameron is my new book boyfriend. That is all.
