Rookie in Love is a good fit for those seeking a heartwarming and uplifting story about self-discovery, love, and the unexpected twists and turns of life.

This was a cute an enjoyable read. Fans of sports romance will not be disappointed. Would recommend to anyone looking for a light hearted enjoyable romance.

This book was pretty good. It definitely held my attention and I’ll be checking out the author’s other books.

Rookie in Love is the first book in the Love Offside series by Sarah White. It was my first story by this author and I liked it.

Madeline met Jackson on her birthday and he gave her the reassurance that life could be so much better. Her dreams mattered and she didn’t have to simply follow her family’s wishes. Fina.ly embracing life she will find the happiness that alluded her for far too long.

There is something about a sports romance that I just can't get over. Rookie in Love by Sarah White was no different. This was my first book by Sarah and I wasn't disappointed.

The chemistry between the main characters, Jackson and Madeline was off the hots. I loved seeing how they complimented each other and checked all the right boxes... when they were willing to let them.

I really enjoyed reading Rookie in love. Its the struggle of Madeline and Jackson trying to find true love. While one is bound by family obligations, the other wants to be accepted as a person without any frills.

A nice read, with a few life lessons.

He’s beneath her…and that’s what she wants. Hotel heiress Madeline Stone has always played it safe and been the good girl. Since the death of her mother, she’s let her father and older brothers dictate her life, but this is her last year of college and perhaps her last year of freedom. So when she meets sexy star quarterback Jackson Rider, she’s tempted to take a risk. His sexy combination of bad boy and sweet makes her feel alive and reckless with passion she never imagined. His encouragement and love helps her develop the voice she never had. She knows Jackson checks none of the boxes on her family’s life plan. But she has new goals for herself and new dreams. Can she find the strength to stand up for what she wants?
I’m not sure why, but I had a big problem liking Madeline from the beginning, making it really hard for me to get into this book. DNF
**I voluntarily read and reviewed this book

This was my first time reading this authors work and a great start to a new series. This was a sweet story about first love and being yourself. Madeline has always played it safe and done what she is suppose to. She is starting her last year of college and what may be her last year of freedom. She wasn’t expecting Jackson the sexy quarterback. He was perfect for her and now she just has to decide if she can have him and be herself. I really enjoyed Jackson and Madeline’s story and can’t wait to read more from this author.

ROOKIE IN LOVE is a quick story that packs a powerful punch, and perhaps a few life lessons as well.

The only person who is responsible for your happiness… is you. If you don’t seek it out and accept what is expected of you by family and others then that was your choice… one that could have ended differently. Maddy is about to finish college and head into a future that is not really of her own choosing. Her family expects her to marry the “right man”, one who will be an asset to the company and their social standing – whether they actually love each other or not is not their concern and completely beside the point of a power marriage. They have him all picked out for her, basically all she has to do is show up at the altar and speak her lines.

Jackson and Maddy’s romance is a lovely first love-last love story that captures your heart very easily. Of course, there are obstacles to overcome and choices to make. I enjoyed their journey very much. Yet what truly drew me into this story was Maddy’s growth over the time spent with Jackson and the realization that her own happiness mattered more than following decisions that were not her own. So often women and men do what is expected of them by others and end up wondering why happiness or love eluded them. I cheered Maddy as she made her choices for she was deciding on her own future, her own happiness… and that is what really matters most.

*I received an e-ARC of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley. That does not change what I think of this story. It is my choice to leave a review giving my personal opinion about this book.*

i really liked this book. my first from Sarah White. I will read from this author again. Must read. It had it all.

Ooooooh this book was so much fun to read! I flew through it in a day!

While this story is very insta-lovey, I feel like it worked for these characters. There are plenty of steamy/sexy scenes throughout, but you could also tell that these characters genuinely cared so much for one another.

Definitely recommend this one if you’re looking for a fun, light college romance!

Madeline Stone is finally taking the chance to live her life regardless of the plans her father and three brothers have for her. She has met and is falling in love with Jackson Rider, college quarterback and someone not from her rich life. He is everything she has needed and more. He is her friend and lover and gives her meaning. The big problem is that her brothers will not back off and let her make her own decisions. Maddy is determined to live fully and with Jackson, her brothers be damned.

I would have liked this book better if the heroine didn't have a boyfriend and wasn't consumed with thoughts about family obligations and what would look the best for her family, especially when we know that he is going to end up with Jackson. Jackson was the best character in this short story if you ask me. He easily won me over and I thought of him as the voice of reason. Madeline was almost a hypocrite sometimes and it was bothering me that she had double standards. What surprised me is that we had some character development which is unusual in short books like this one and it scored major points for the book. The book wasn't bad despite my tone when I began the review. Madeline was not my favorite person in the beginning, but she is slowly developing her personality and it worked on the book's favor.

Very enjoyable read. Nothing super wow about it but the characters are interesting and the building relationship between Madeline and Jackson was fun to watch. Also, it was nice to see Maddie finally break away from the expectations of her family and live her life on her terms. I definitely recommend this one.

Loved this story of following your heart and not what your family expects you do. Maddy was dating the perfect gentleman, at least that is what her family thought. Maddy loved him but not really loved him. Then meeting Jackson, the quarterback on the football team, there was an instantaneous connection, But now she needs to decide what she needs to do.

Maddy and Jackson were just perfect, an explosive chemistry between them. Jackson was so patient with Maddy. My favorite line, "Once you accept how much you love someone and surrender to that, all decisions get easier." This is my first book my this author and will be looking for more.

Jackson meets Madeline when she is returning drunk from celebrating her 21st birthday. She is trying to climb up to watch a meteor shower. He stays with her watches the shower and takes care of her. Her family has her life all planned out and it does not include the star quarter back. When he checks up on her the next day you can't help but fall a little bit for Jackson. The more time they spend together the more Madeline wants to alter her well laid plans. Very cute read.

Madeline and Jackson’s love story is so cute, their chemistry is over the top, leading them around and letting the chips of life fall where they may.
New author for me, and I will watch for other books by her cause I enjoyed this one.

This is my first book by this author. I thought it was pretty cute. I really liked Jackson, Maddy was a little wish-washy for me. But overall it was a nice quickly for an afternoon read.

Rookie in Love is short and sweet story about first love and being accepted for who we are. The chemistry between Jackson and Madeline was instantaneous and smoking, but the understanding and comfort they felt with each other was beautiful and what everyone strives for in a relationship. To be loved for who we are, not what we are or where we come from. This was my first book by this author but it won't be my last.
