This was my first Elena Armas book and while I have her previous two, they are still sitting unread on my bookshelf. I really loved the premise of the book and I love her writing, however there were some things in this book that I didn't love.

Adalyn is shipped off to North Carolina to help a youth soccer team after an outburst caught on camera causes a lot of problems for her the MLS team owned by her father. There she meets Cameron, a retired soccer player, who is laying low and doesn't want anybody to know his real identity.

What I loved:
the meet cute, the chemistry and banter, the side characters who shined just as much as the main characters, the grumpy x sunshine

What I didn't love:
the twist at the end (half-sister) that came completely out the blue and felt random, too slow of a burn, MMC grump turned softie turned dominating and aggressive in the bed., THE SLOW BURN because it was toooooo freaking slow (seriously - if you are going to have spice, give it to us at least by the 50% mark, if not sooner), they kind of lost focus on building up the team at the point that she hurt her ankle

I would rate it at 3.5 - I'm still excited to read her other two and I will definitely check out future books from her as well.

Thank you NetGalley and Atria for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.
