peristome 's review for:

Face Offs & Cheap Shots by Saxon James, Eden Finley
3.5
lighthearted medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

I loved the rivals to lovers aspect of this book, but something about the rest of it didn't really grab me. It's not a bad book by any means, but everything kind of works out too conveniently. Beck's father does a lightning fast heel–face turn, Beck and Jacobs have almost no conflict (past them getting over hating each other in the beginning), and they all get exactly what they wanted.

That's not a bad thing, just not my thing. In fact, if you like low stakes romances, this would be perfect for you.
