Pretty solid! Short, sweet, and my favorite by Sasha Lace so far!

Reece, Miri’s brother from the first book, makes such a great MMC. He’s a psychologist who needs a break from the fast paced hospital gig (especially in the wake of his mother’s health scares and his recent breakup). Gabe, his brother-in-law just so happens to own a professional women’s soccer club and invites him to try being the team psychologist. Reece accepts the job, but his boundaries and ethical principles are pushed to the limit when he falls for the team captain, Skylar. It’s probably worth mentioning that he’s been pining after her since they were children in school together.

Skylar (FMC) is a fierce team captain who pushes herself and takes what she wants…professionally speaking. Off the field, she’s in a toxic relationship with her celebrity soccer playing boyfriend. She’s been with him since high school, they own a home together, and he’s been cheating on her and manipulating her for years. Finally she gives him the boot, while getting back on her feet she happens to meet wholesome and caring Reece.

It’s worth noting that the author does a great job ensuring that the relationship avoids any icky power dynamics or poor ethics. Skylar was never a patient of Reece’s, but they do work together.

Thanks Netgalley and the publishers for this ARC.

Funny, sexy and heartwarming!
Loved how the characters grew through the book! And the chemistry between Skylar and Reece was so sweet!

Quick and esay read, that hits you right in the feelings!

Havent read "Playing the Game" but I'm so glad that I have the rest of the series ready, thanks to NetGalley!
And defently NOT my last Sasha Lace book or series!

This is the second book in a series, but can be read as a standalone. sweet quick read. I read in two afternoons.

This was another quick read that I enjoyed but I didn't like it as much as the others. I think I mainly had an issue with Reece and how he saw his position in the team. I grew frustrated with his professional excuses but I really liked Skylar and thought her character development was well done.

This series is amazing! Reece is HOT! Skylar and Reece definitely have things to work through but damn, they work. I didn't want to put this book down! Another winner by Sasha Lace!

Reece.. ugh I both loved and wanted to smack some sense into him. For a therapist he sure needed his own help.

Most definitely enjoyed this book way more than the first. It was a fun read and and i really like Skylar and Reece. As women's football is becoming more and more popular recently, I think this series will be a huge hit.

It was good. It kept my attention but i didn’t really connect with the characters. If you are looking for a fun light hearted read then read this book.

Such a fantastic read and series. I loved the characters and all the connections from book to book. They all felt like a family by the end and really linked so well together.

The angst and spice served AGAIN! I loved Reece's story just as much as his sister's, and Skyler is such a mood!

I read the entire series from net galley and overall the series is a 4 star for me. This is the second book. I will say that this was a 4.25 star read for me. I loved the couple more than the last one but i simply didn't really like the reason that they weren't together from the beginning. Reece is a very complicated character but still i definitely enjoyed this. It didn't give off five star feeling but none of the books in the series did. These books are the perfect length for romance books and are mazing pallet cleansers after a fantasy book. I will definitely re read this series at some point

Another enjoyable book in the series. Lace did a great job creating an easy to read and digest story! I thank NetGalley for the ARC.

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for this arc!

This was such a good book. I really enjoyed it. More than I thought I would. I loved the writing style. This book had me hooked from page one. This is a first for me by this author but will not be my last!!

I was very excited to see that we were now going to be following the life of Reece - he was definitely the sibling I found myself the most attached to whilst reading Miri's story and what a story Sasha has given him! Reece is that dreamy guy who on the outside is very geeky, however on the inside he had a complete different side waiting to be unleashed and Skylar was the lucky girl to experience that side. Now, Reece did frustrate me at times with the boundaries he kept setting in place for no reason whatsoever but he came through in such a romantic way that I can look away. I really loved Skylar, she was unapologetically herself no matter how much someone wanted to tear her down and she was a very admirable main character. This was a sweet romance filled with healing and a whole lot of love. Another in the series I absolutely adore!

This was a good book but I don’t think it was as good as the first book in the series. I just feel like the ending was pretty rushed and at a point in the book there was just continuous scenes of back to back smut which even though was part of the storyline felt a bit over the top. However, I did still enjoy this book it was just a few minor parts that affected my overall rating

This was a fun, spicy sports romance series! Loved the interconnected characters and how they had real problems, but it was still an escape read.

This book was amazing! The story was very
Well written and the romance was so cute! Would highly
Recommend!

If I loved the 1st book, it was nothing compared to this one. This one is a five star read. I love absolutely everything about this story.

For Reece and his nuterer and giver personality. For his kindness, strength, tenderness, sensitivity, unconditional love and worship for Skylar, trying to do the right thing even if he has to sacrifice himself. For the way he constantly gives without knowing how to receive and shut his feelings. For the way he listens, understands, helps and is always there for Skylar and his family. I got so personally attached to this character, having seen myself in him.

For Skylar and all the cracks and vulnerabilities that lie beneath her mask of a strong woman who is immune to anything. For the way she opens up to Reece, realizing that she deserves more and better, understanding and accepting her body.

And last but not least, for the way Sasha's writing was more intense, passionate, romantic, moving, addictive, dealing with the imperfection of sexual relationships and the kindness and understanding a couple must have. I don't know what kind of magic Sasha puts into her books, but every time, she keeps me reading her stories in one sitting, in 24h, unable to put the book down.

I really enjoyed this book! Skylar was my absolute favorite. I really enjoyed watching her character grow and become more confident in herself.
