This book was a little all over the place for me. For starters, it didn’t really feel like an MC novel. It had none of the stuff we come to love about the trope.
Also, the timeline is all over the place. All the action happens in a rush, but the build up travels at a normal speed. Because of this it feels a bit info dumpy.
I also found some of the writing a bit stilted.
In relation to Snowfall, I really found it to not be necessary at all to read.
This as an okay book, with some pretty big flaws. It’s not a favourite, sorry.

I absolutely LOVED this book! I loved the setting, the atmosphere, the heavy football aspect, the feelings, everything!
Cameron is just, oh so sweet, and hot, and caring, and just so yummy!
Hailee is ballsy, and tough, and strong, and a great role model (vandalism aside) for girls today.
Together, with a great supporting cast who I can’t wait to read about, this is a great book!
I loved the drama, the feelings, I especially loved the strong football involvement, and the touch of bullying here.
If you’re not a fan of bully romance but are intrigued (you know you are!) this is a great bridge between enemies and bullies. In general, this is a great book and I am SO glad I picked it up! Do yourself a favour and do the same!!

I read this as part of the Ultimate Reading Challenge, June book; a new to me author.

4.5 stars.

Holy wow! She’s done it again! This book... it’s beautiful. It’s different, and unique, and I love it.
Reese is just... perfect. Really. I love him, I want to have him.
Charlie is a mess. She’s quirky, and a little crazy, and she’s dealing with some heavy stuff.
This book started a little slow for me, as well as a little abruptly. I felt like there could’ve been more of a lead up to the start. There’s a few things missing from the start but it’s not a massive deal. I also felt the last chapter was rushed and slightly info dumpy, but again, not a massive deal.
Go ahead and pick up this book, you won’t regret it!

4.5 stars.

I LOVED this book! I love Sarina and this was a great addition to the Brooklyn Bruisers.
Silas is incredible. He is so sweet and gentle. It’s nice to see a male character like that, you don’t see so many of them. He’s definitely being added to my book boyfriend list.
Delilah is sassy but has a vulnerability about her that is refreshing.
This whole book is refreshing. I did get a bit confused at times with all the characters, but I did manage to get them straight eventually.
This is a great book, that can be read as a stand-alone if you want, but the series is awesome too, go get reading!

I know this was initially part of an anthology but I don’t feel as if this belongs as part of the series. It’s pointless and random. Why tell Sera about what happened in the past now?
This short seems like nothing more than gratuitous sex, which isn’t normally a bad thing, a recap of the series we didn’t need, and a random confession.
Don’t waste your time.

This book fell a little flat for me. Yes, it’s a rom-com but I felt more emphasis was put on this book being funny, rather than getting a little bit of depth in it, which I don’t feel would’ve detracted from the humour.
The rivalry between the two towns was petty. I felt it would’ve been better if the focus was on how Annika and Grady had left things years earlier. It leaves a shallow feeling.
I didn’t really care for Grady, he came off a bit sleazy for me, and Annika was infuriating. She refused to admit she had any hand in what happened in her and Grady’s relationship, especially at the end of the book.
There were moments of humour, Sue was a particularly light moment, as was Long Beak Silver, but ultimately this book fell flat and was a bit shallow for me, sorry.

Oh Lord, I do NOT know how I feel about this book! I was SO torn throughout it.
I kind of hated that Ava never really let Connor in. Then I felt bad because she’s been through so much and couldn’t let him in!
Then I felt Connor was selfish but really he just wanted Ava to love him as much as he loves her!
I think the word for this is heart wrenching, absolutely heart wrenching! There’s so many conflicting emotions in this book and I just don’t know what to feel! This is the ultimate example of right place, wrong time. Bring on book 2!

Holy... this book! I was laughing, I was crying, I was laughing while crying...
This book broke my heart, and put it together again.
I love Ava. I love Connor. I love Trevor and Miss D. I love Corey. I love this book. It’s fantastic.
One thing I would say is things with Wendy need to be cleaned up a little. She says she’s a fugitive, but from what? It’s not a big thing, it just needs to be a little clearer.
This is the completion of the duet so you do need to read heartbreak first, obvs, but rest assured they’re worth it!!

For so long we’ve waited for this book. For so long hints have been dropped about Xander’s girl. I’m sorry to say, I don’t think this book loved up to the hype. I felt it was rushed and the LA incident came out of nowhere and seemed completely random. It also has shades of Lucy in it, where I would’ve liked to have seen a bit more originality.
Yes, it was interesting to see Xander and Tera’s past, but it’s a bit of a let down for me.

Plus, can someone correct me, but in the first book, didn’t they say falling down had only just signed with Cage? In this, they were with Cage from the start?

Once again, I’m not sure of the point of this short. It didn’t tell us anything new that we didn’t already know from previous books, so aside from keeping interest, it doesn’t seem to have a point. I’d give it a miss.
