A review by dinohakari
Winning the Season by Beth Bolden
5.0
Well. I wanted a story about the Coach, and I got a freaking good Coach story!!!
I have to say, pretty much from the first book in the series, something about Asa intrigued me. And that amazed me. I generally don't read or feel compelled to read stories about characters above middle age. Not because I think they are "old" to have their own history, but because I like to read how they start, how they continue and how they end over many, many, maaaaany years. But something about Asa drew me. Perhaps because I could sense that behind his hard facade and his seriousness, his obsession with work and his intention to always do what was right for others, lay a deep pain. And I wanted to know the cause so I could find a way to alleviate it. I wanted to find out how to fix it so that he could also find his own right path like some of his players.
So I waited and waited, because I knew that [a:Beth Bolden|8137900|Beth Bolden|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1397886875p2/8137900.jpg] was somehow going to give what I, and so many other readers, were looking forward to. Coach's story.
And I also have to say, that as with her other books, she did not disappoint.
The first thing I read (and reviewed) from her was [b:Riptide: the Complete Series|61410528|Riptide the Complete Series|Beth Bolden|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1657300495l/61410528._SX50_.jpg|96895435], and from then on I was hooked. I have read all I could of what she has written. And I'm not going to stop. Because even though I don't understand one iota of football, or how people work in a kitchen trailer, etc., I can say that I don't need to understand it. She describes it in a way that not only shows the background of the main story, but ends up being one more character.
Asa and Scott are finally together. After a lifetime, after ups and downs, after fighting together to achieve different successes, after a really, really painful separation, now they fight together to have the ending they both deserve. And it's great to see everyone else helping them reach that ending. Like a big family. As it should always be, everywhere. Because love is love and everyone deserves to love who they want to love. It doesn't matter where, age or anything.
I look forward to the next book, which is going to be the last in this series, unfortunately for us fans. But luckily, not the last we will have of her.
I was given an advanced copy and voluntarily wrote a review.
