ARC Review: Offside Rule by Maeve Hazel

Publication Date: January 16, 2025

Offside Rule was a lovely and sweet read. From Xavier and Arianna’s meet cute in the bar all the way through to the end of this book, there’s a sweetness and affection that runs through it. It’s a cute novella that leaves you with no choice but to smile.

As with all single parent stories, Arianna’s daughter Guilia plays an essential role in her life. There is a tenderness between mother and daughter that is beautiful, and I loved the sassy moments where Guilia had all of her mother’s personality. They are the truest definition of a family. 

I could have spent more time with Xavier and Arianna, but I enjoyed the time I did have! There was little tension and conflict, making this book a perfect read if you’re looking for something sweet and tender on the heart. 

I voluntarily reviewed a free advance copy of this book provided by the author. The opinions expressed are my own.
