I love a forbidden romance, and The Best Player absolutely nailed it. Kenzie and Tanner’s chemistry was off the charts, even when they were trying to hide it. The two of them, in the same house as her brother? Absolute chef’s kiss. 

Kenzie and Tanner are both on individual journeys in this book, and I loved how Kenzie’s involved a good ol’ fashioned list to accomplish. It was so fun to watch Tanner get involved in helping her accomplish tasks on that list- from getting her ID photo taken to the more risqué moments just between the two of them. It was a great way to bring the two of them closer together and made for so many hilarious and sweet moments. ;

Jaqueline Snowe lives in my sports romance HOF section for how good these books always are. Whether the book is a new adult like this one or just a pure romance, she always finds the perfect balance of sports content with the romance itself. I wholeheartedly loved this book and am so excited that she’s rereleasing it as well as No Easy Catch, which comes out May 21st!

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