Single is the first book in the new spin off series of the New York Kings Series by Collette West, called Stockton Beavers. While I have not read the entire New York Kings series, yet, I have read a couple of the books and I really enjoyed them, so I knew that I was probably going to enjoy this one just as much. It was a tough read for me, because of the subject matter but I loved the story and romance. Luke and Roberta are a great match, and Single is a really great story. Collette West always does a good job with her books. I loved that this one is the start of a new series, but still takes place in the New York Kings world.

Luke has been dealt a rough hand. I felt for him so much. To be dealing with a career changing injury as well as taking care of a parent with Alzheimer's. It was an emotional read for me. I loved Luke so much though. He is such a sweet, caring person. you just want to see something good happen to him. And having Roberta be that something good was a bit of an interesting take for me. I loved that she is the other main character in this story, and I think fans of the New York Kings series will know why. She is a side character in the series that did not always come across in the best light. But we really get to know her in Single, and I enjoyed that a lot. I'm glad that Collette West chose her for the first book in the Stockton Beavers series. I think I might even enjoy this series more than the New York Kings Series. I love the setting.

Single is a different kind of sports romance for me. Like I said earlier, this book really hit me hard. I deal with the elderly a lot in my job and Alzheimer's is always so tough. Especially on the family members. Luke will hold a special place in my heart after reading this book. Roberta too. Being a caregiver is not an easy job.

Bottom line: If you like Sports romances with heart, Single is the book for you. Even if you have not read the New York Kings series, give this book a try. It is a good introduction to their world, and if you enjoy it you can always go back and read about the Kings players after. Single is a great
