ARC received for an honest review

The Baller is the first Vi Keeland book I have read - yes I know, I am way behind the times!

What a sweet, sexy and at times extremely emotional story The Baller is.

I loved Brody from the minute he dropped towel! Had a feeling there was more to him than a super-hot bad boy, and was there what!

Delilah is trying to make it in the mysogynistic boys club that is sports reporting. The last thing she wants is a relationship with Brody, having her professionalism called into doubt.

But man oh man, the spark between them is undeniable, and I loved the banter between them. The text messages, the looks across the locker room. Slowly but surely, they are on their way to a HEA.

The book is told in dual POV for most of the books, which I liked. However, just over half way through, another POV was introduced which I felt interrupted the flow of the book.

The character with the 3rd POV is an integral part of the story, however I don't think we needed their POV, I felt that we could have gotten their story through Brody and Delilah's POVs. But this could just be me, it might not bother you.

I laughed, I got angry, I got upset for our lovelies, and enjoyed the journey I was taken on. Brody and Delilah's story was complicated, funny and adorable. It dealt with some deeper things rather than just two people falling in love.

Now I need to go kick myself for not reading her earlier work.
