I adored this book! IT was a fantastic read. If you love the trope normal girl/celebrity this will be the book for you
I haven't come across a Sariah Wilson book I haven't loved and this one also fits the bill. Swoony romance with lovely heart pounding kisses.
One of the best works of Wilson yet! It had all my favorite aspects of her writing: perfect chemistry and tension, hilarious snark and banter, and oh those steamy kisses!! 😍 And to top it off, characters I was immediately charmed by and continued to root for.
I received an advanced copy of this book through NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This was a playful and fun romance which had enjoyable characters and relationships. Really enjoyed this series and would recommend this author for those looking for a light hearted romance.
I loved the characters and the storyline development of this book. It was absolutely one of my favorites so far and I can't wait to delve in to the next one that this author writes. The storyline was simple, enjoyable, and entertaining.
Oh my goodness this one was HOT. Sariah just know how to right them! This one still fits the clean criteria but still gave you all the filler to make it HoT! Run an grab it and Happy Clean Reading!!
Synopsis:
Ambitious intern Ashton Bailey is about to get closer to her dream of being a sports announcer. All she has to do is prove that too-perfect-to-be-true NFL quarterback Evan Dawson isn’t quite as wholesome as his contract requires. It’s also the perfect opportunity to get delicious payback on the boy who broke her teenage heart. At least that’s her plan. But she forgot just how easy it is to crush on the irresistible charmer. #OhNoNotAgain.
Evan has a knack for getting through the opposing team’s defenses, and he won’t let this tall, redheaded knockout be the exception. He’s determined to make things right between them and earn back Ashton’s trust—and maybe her heart, too.
Then the press mistakenly announces their engagement, and Ashton and Evan find themselves going along with the lie. Now the whole world is watching as Ashton flirts with attraction and disaster. But while revenge is sweet, it just might come at the cost of something sweeter still.
I didn't love the heroine's motives in this book, but I was sucked in by Sariah Wilson's witty banter and that was it! I enjoyed this book, it was a sweet and clean romance, that I'd rate PG for kissing.
A great story on finding the one who completes you and falling in love on the way. A great addition to the series and definitely worth a one click buy.
This being the first time I ever read Sariah Wilson, I can honestly say that I was sufficiently suprised and enjoyed the author's writing style and plot. From the heroine's determination to become a sports broadcaster, especially when faced by her difficult past and fighting for what's right, to the hero's redemption over his past mistakes. This was an extremely heartfelt romance from beginning to end. Definitely one I recommend everyone pick up today!

I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book which I received
through Netgalley. This is an amazing third book in the #Lovestruck series!!! I loved every second.
Great playful and fun romance that kept me smiling and swooning! What a fun read! This book is full of swoon worthy moments and great chemistry! I definitely couldn't put this one down! I stayed up down late reading it, so worth it!
I loved the first two of this series of books. #Awestruck is the third in the "struck" series. Sariah Wilson is one of my "I know I'm in for a treat" authors. #Awestruck is a fun read. However, I didn't love it as much as the others. ( I adored the others, so put that in the mix.)
I enjoyed the first couple books in Sariah Wilson's series, but #Awestruck is by far my favorite!
I loved Evan and Ashton, even when they were doing frustrating things. Ashton felt believable as someone who really had been hurt in the past and was slow to trust Evan really is a good guy. I didn't always like how she handled things, but her character did show some growth as the story progressed. Evan was likeable, sweet, and a genuinely good guy.
I loved all the details Sariah added about the Portland football team. From Evan's nickname to the team and stadium names/nicknames to the games she included in the book. As a football fan I appreciated all the work she did to make it fun and believable.
The story is pretty fast paced and an easy read. The secondary characters also add a lot of humor, especially Ashton's family.
While this is the third in the series it can be read as a complete standalone!
This book was just kinda meh for me. I kept hoping it was going to pick up and it just didn't. The characters weren't relatable to me and I just didn't cAre about them or what happened to them.
3 Stars
Romance, clean; Series but stand alone read; PG-13 for clean read rating
Sariah Wilson always uses wit, sarcasm, sass, and great plot twists and turns that keep you wanting more.
Ashton and Evan's story, another high profile H story, is a second chance romance that will have you tuning pages and losing sleep. Ashton and Evan's emotional heartfelt, and sassy story, full of family, secrets, hurts, healing and most importantly chemistry, friendship, attraction and love is cleverly and wittily told. There are fun scenes where you can feel the characters emotions, see the attraction between these two flawed and hurting but honest characters. Great family and team dynamics, fun NFL setting, with a dash of games and tension from them, and most of all just Ashton and Evan. S.W. knows how to turn a story, and make your heart soar. Can't wait to read her next book! Team Ashton and Evan for sure for me. I always say this after each book but I think this is my favorite of this series.
We are introduced to the main players of this story pretty quickly. We have Ashton the intern and her evil boss Brenda who both have a loathing for "Awesome" Evan Dawson. I felt pulled into the story just that quickly. Ashton made for an interesting heroine with her family as great supporting characters, and challenging Dynamics. Evan is the starting QB with the Portland "Lumberjacks" NFL team with a squeaky clean reputation that Brenda wants her news station to disprove. Ashton knew Evan in high school, he was her older sister's friend and she had a huge crush on him but her not only broke her heart, he also humiliated her. Getting to know Ashton and read about her getting to know Evan was All The Feels! Ms Wilson creates characters that I can relate to and puts them in places and situations that help them grow in real ways. Loved this book.
Loved this story beyond words! From the first page to the last, I was captivated by these characters and their journey!
I can’t wait for more! I’m loving this series!
Could Sariah get any better? I really love all the wonderful stories she writes about, from the movie star, to the football player, from time travel to a princess in Monterra.
Every story has a special spark of magic and Awesturck isn't one to disappoint.
I highly recommend it.
Sariah is one of my favorite authors.. I'll admit, I was a bit unsure about this book at first. The heroine, Ashton, was so whiny. Get over your years-old grudge already! Happily, the story only got better, and it wasn't long before I was hooked. As per the norm for Sariah's books, the chemistry between the hero and heroine was off the charts. The romance is clean, but I wouldn't necessarily define it as sweet. There's no sex, but it's spicy enough to make you shiver with anticipation. Highly recommended!
Beyond the awful flashbacks to Colton’s terrible season on the Bachelor (truly, my kingdom to never have a show dissect virgin football players again), this was a delight. I did find the forgiveness on the heroine’s side a little too easily given/the hero a little too flawless, but they were cute soooo.
