I was so excited to start this book once it hit my kindle! I was in the midst of my Christmas ARC Era and a little Football Romance was in order. What I didn't expect was to fall for Nathalie and Deon. These two cutie bears were so much more than I expected them to be. I thought that they were going to be cute characters, but I wasn't expecting them to be characters to completely make me shout (in my head) just tell them already!!!
Nathalie was a sweetheart from the beginning. She was definitely someone that I wanted to be friends with. She was sweet, had a heart of gold, and loved working with kids. She didn't really know what she was getting herself into when she said yes but she learned over time in this slow burn ❤️🔥 what she really wanted in life. I loved that we got to see her whole journey through her emotions from one end of the spectrum through to the other end. Although I have to say I was hoping and praying she could see what I was so blatantly seeing from Deon. But sometimes it's hard to see what is right in front of you!
Deon, oh man. He just had to go and open his mouth to the media. I'm so glad that he did because he was able to learn so much about himself with just that one blunder. He was able to go on a self exploration journey not just by himself but with Nathalie. She was able to show him what he is deserving of and what he should have had to begin with. He was able to see with the help of Nathalie and his friends that sharing his love with someone is okay. Making small gestures or large gestures with their help is even better. He definitely deserved Nathalie. She was the perfect woman for him. She complimented him in every way. I also couldn't help but love how much he cared for Gordie even though Gordie secretly planned his demise (lol).
I loved the love that they shared and continued to build throughout the book even if they didn't know what they were building at the time. I truly enjoyed this story and can't wait to read more of this series!
Thank you to Nicole Cubba for the complimentary copy in exchange for my honest and voluntary opinion!
