TOUCHDOWN!!! Lauren Blakely scores BIG TIME once again with her newest romance, Out of Bounds. From her charismatic and lovable characters, she has truly mastered the art in writing winning heartfelt romance.

 photo ec0ec021c611dab16fdab324fc0e4f_zpsakfdltd9.gif“I’m just a twenty-six-year-old guy who’s got his shit together and wants to go out with a woman he works with— a woman who has her act together too. That adrenaline fuels me, pushes me on. Maybe it’s the orgasm high, or maybe it’s just reality. But is this so wrong for me to want to at least pursue something with her?”

When Dani rescued and helped out a young man surfing, she never expected him to be Drew Erickson, a rising NFL quarterback. So when Drew didn’t reveal his job, Dani played it off that she didn’t know his celebrity athlete status. Instead, these two enjoyed a flirtatious banter of getting to know each other without revealing too intimate details. As Drew’s career is on the line, will he be able to keep in bounds his new relationship with Dani? Or will he discover that he may have to step out of bounds?

It’s no secret that I want to live in the literary world that Lauren Blakely creates. She has this magical way of making you crave, want, and need more of her words and characters. And Drew Erickson is one delectable hero that every romance readers needs to meet as he will be scoring on and off the field. So if you are looking for a romance that is sizzling with heat, romance, and heart then look no further than Out of Bounds.

A fresh, sexy, steamy, heartfelt modern romance!!! Sara Rider has cemented herself as an author that we need to keep an eye out for. In Rider’s latest sports romance, Keeping Score, Rider immediately grabbed my attention when she wrote a story that had diversity. In today’s world, it is disheartening to see that so many authors doesn’t implement culture and other ethnic backgrounds in their stories. Yes, it is common for readers to read a story with the sexy blonde or brunette. And so when I read the blurb of Rider’s Keeping Score, it was refreshing to finally see that she wrote a love story between an Asian American and a Latino. This alone made this book stand out from other romance novels.

#KeepingScore

While this book incorporated diversity, Sara Rider also brought forth a sports romance love story that was raw, sweet, playful and emotional. Jamie Chen is a professional woman soccer player, who recently got chosen to be on the cover for a leading sports magazine. Her career should be at it’s peak since she landed this cover deal but Jamie is suffering from severe ankle pains that could destroy and kill her dreams of playing soccer professionally. So when her team’s pro sports physiotherapist, Alex Martinez continues to badgers Jamie on her ankle, Jamie is forced to listen to him. As much as she doesn’t want and tries to avoid Alex and his concerns, it soon forces Alex to do what is necessary for Jamie to listen before her condition gets worse. And in the backdrops of Jamie’s medical concern, Rider beautifully weaves a forbidden love story in the making.

Jamie and Alex are both sexual attracted to one another. They fight. They bicker. They banter. And yet, their chemistry is palpable and tangible. Soon Jamie and Alex find themselves carrying on a secret love affair. They are well aware that they cannot mix business with pleasure. But what happens when Alex knows that there is something seriously wrong with Jamie? Will Alex’s job be in jeopardy when the owner informs him that they want Jamie to be ready for the playoffs? And how will Jamie react when she discovers what is medically wrong with her? Will her dreams of playing professionally be over?

Keeping Score is one of those sports romance reads that takes you by surprise. This book was written in a fresh modern voice that highlights diversity, dreams, sacrifices, love, and new beginnings. So if you are looking for a story where the author did a terrific job in weaving heart and playfulness in such a palpable manner then this book is definitely for you.
