Cleat Cute by Meryl Wilsner
5.0

A sapphic soccer romance perfect for fans of Ted Lasso and A League of Their Own? SAY LESS. Grace Henderson is a famous soccer star, she's on the US Women's National Team and has been for 10 years despite being only 26 years old. Phoebe Matthews is a rookie 22 year old soccer player who has just been recruited into the team, and she absolutely adores Grace. Phoebe was recruited to be Grace's replacement, but things are about to get steamy. Grace is serious, she's determined to be the best captain for her team, and she's kept people at a distance and hasn't really dated anyone since the last bad breakup. Phoebe is a ball of energy, smirky smiles, jokes, and the exact opposite of Grace, and her favorite thing to do is tease Grace. Grace and Phoebe end up kissing during a bet and soon neither can keep their hands off each other, yet Grace isn't looking for a serious relationship and doesn't know if she's ready to open her heart up again and Phoebe has to deal with her own growing pains as she tries to find a place on the team and figure out where she stands with Grace. I had a blast with this one, I love Grace and Phoebe and they were so funny and cute. Phoebe loves to tease Grace and they both want to take care of the other so much and it was just so sweet. Seriously, this was peak rom com sports romance and I had so much fun!
