Synopsis: Isaiah (Zay) Johanssen has built his life around two things: rugby and secretly loving his friend Robyn Cassidy. Since they met playing rugby in college, their stars have never aligned. But Isaiah isn’t worried—he has a plan.
Professional rugby player Robyn Cassidy is determined to show Isaiah she wants more than friendship, but every time she tries to get his attention, the words escape her. Normally bright and confident, she finds herself tongue-tied around her longtime crush.
So what happens when Dell, her sexy and charming personal trainer, offers to be her flirt coach, only to find out he’s crushing on the same man? The same man who is now her head coach.
Maybe it’s time Dell shows Isaiah exactly what he’s missing out on.
Thoughts: Whew! Mi gente! This one was picante. It was also sweet and beautiful.
Zay is an innocent bi teddy bear, who’s spent years torturing himself and Robyn. His overwhelming need to protect Robyn and be the man she deserves is heartwarming but also a little red flaggy. Dell’s past hurts my heart but is also a great example of getting in front of the narrative and not only controlling it, but making it work for your benefit. His ability to go after what he wants, no matter how unconventional, is inspiring.
Robyn is an inspiration to fem athletes everywhere. Able to kick ass on the pitch, getting down and dirty with her teammates, and then dance the night away (rather goofily) as the girliest of girlies. Just like most women “who do it all”, she’s succeeding on the outside, while her thoughts and inner turmoil reflect the opposite.
Thankfully she has two sexy, loving men, to remind her just how wonderful she is…in all ways, always.
With plenty of queer, plus size and latine rep, this book gave me everything I could have wanted from start to finish. Cute, awkward exchanges, sexy scenes that damn near edge the reader and lots of love love LOVE, there isn't a thing I disliked about this book. Sloan Spencer is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors and I cannot wait to read whatever she writes next.
