i am FERAL!!! i loved the chemistry between the characters and their journey. plus zach was soooooo hot omg 🥵

“Stick Your Landing” introduces you to two characters that are hard not to love, one of whom being the highly anticipated Zach from Kincaid’s earlier novels. I found this book to be cute and refreshing in a way that I love romance books to be!

Black cat and golden retriever vibes paired with an “I’ll-do-anything-for-you” mentality from BOTH main characters, and you have the perfect mix for a palette-cleanser read.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC!

I love sports romance, especially ones involving hockey and hockey players, and I really enjoyed this book! Can't wait to read more from this author!

Stick Your Landing by Kathryn Kincaid is an intriguing, emotional & heartwarming sports romance.

This is book #3 in the All In series, but this is the first I’ve read from this author & it can easily be read as a standalone.

Stick Your Landing is great for those looking to read…
🩵 Spicy Sports Romance
🩵 Hockey Player x Gymnast
🩵 Forced Proximity
🩵 Mental Illness Rep.
🩵 Teammate’s Little Sister x Brother’s Teammate

I love a good sports romance & I am super grateful to see gymnastics because it’s so rare & my favorite sport. I also appreciate mental illness representation & learned a lot through reading this. My favorite part was watching her grow & come into her own. & I was such a fan & swoony over the hero. They were such a good balance & brought so much to each other. I want to keep things vague to avoid spoilers.

If you are looking for an interesting & entertaining sports romance, I recommend giving Stick Your Landing a flip.


Massive thanks to NetGalley & the author for the gifted copy, which I voluntarily read & reviewed.

The formatting on this arc had dark background with dark text. I found this very difficult to read with my vision difficulties so this took me longer to read than normal. I just wanted to explain/apologize for the delay.

Stick Your Landing is the third book in a series, and I went into it without realizing that, so I missed the previous books. That said, it was still a solid read! The mental health and gymnastics representation were great, and I enjoyed the story overall. I ended up finishing it in one sitting, and now I’m definitely excited to go back and read the earlier books.

The secret relationship trope is always a fun one, especially with the added twist of hiding it from the older brother! It’s a classic that never gets old. While I wasn’t totally hooked by the chemistry or the connection between the characters, I still found it enjoyable. It wasn’t a “can’t put it down” kind of book for me, but it was definitely a fun ride, and I’m looking forward to catching up on the rest of the series!

Firstly, a huge thank you to NetGalley for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I can’t even begin to express how obsessed I am with the characters in this book. From the very first page, they had me completely hooked. Finley and Zach’s chemistry was absolutely flawless, and I honestly don’t understand how this author isn’t more widely recognized.

I highly recommend giving this book a try, and I’ll definitely be purchasing the first two books to read as soon as possible!

Athlete romance with force proximity...my type of trope.

I was quite excited to read it when I got this book. My god, it didn't disappoint. Even though I didn't read previous books from this book it didn't affect my reading experience (as far as I feel). And I need to read them asap.
And Zach and Finley are such a cutie. I adored them and their relationship. The plot's pacing was also perfect. Overall it was a good experience.

Thank you so much, Kathryn Kincaid, the publishers and Netgalley for providing this ARC

Loved the way that Finley grew as a character throughout the novel. She was very relatable and the romance between her and Zach worked so well!!

I was excited for this one because I love gymnastics and hockey but unfortunately it didn't work for me. I should've looked at the blurb more closely because the main characters names are Zach and Finley--one of my best friends is named Zach and his five year old daughter is named Finley. So it was...awkward...lol. No hard feelings here just weird for me individually.

I absolutely adored this couple. Zach and Finley balance each other out so perfectly. She is the structure and he is the fun. I have always loved a good opposites attract story but being a hockey romance on top makes it that much better. This checks all the boxes for me, brothers teammate, secret relationship with mental health representation and that kick your feet, giddy, happy love story feeling!

Firstly, a quick thanks to Net Galley for providing this ARC in exchange for a review with my honest opinion.

Secondly, I can't tell you how obsessed I am with the characters in this book. They truly captured my attention from the first page. Finley and Zach's chemistry was impeccable, and I can't understand how this author is so slept on.

The way Zach truly cares for Finley and pushes her to achieve her dreams despite her mental disability is unreal to me. I was obsessed.

I recommend giving this book a go, and I will be buying the first two to read very, very soon.

Stick Your Landing is the third book in the All In series by Kathryn Kincaid. I didn’t realize I had already read this author and the first book in this series.

This book focuses on Finley Harris the younger sister of the Palmer City Wolves Hockey Captain and Zach Briggs the Canadian Rookie.

After taking a huge hit that resulted in a concussion in one of the first few games of the season, Zach Briggs wakes to the face of the girl that gave him the greatest sexual experience of his life and he never got her name.

Finley Harris thought she’d never see Zach Briggs again. He was there when she needed a distraction two years ago when her life imploded. She can’t believe he plays on her brother’s hockey team and is now staying in the same house as her so he can recover from his concussion.

As Finley and Zach spend more time together they can’t deny their incredible attraction but Finley isn’t sharing all of herself with Zach and he patiently waits while they hide their growing relationship from her brother.

Finley finally confesses that two years ago she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and since then her life had changed so much. Zach is the light to her dark and she is terrified he won’t want to be with her now that he knows.

As Zach learns to navigate her disorder, they need to convince their friends, family and teammates they are right for each other and Zach needs to convince Finley she’s worthy of love.

This was a good solid story. I didn’t quite get hooked on the character chemistry immediately like the first one but the writing was solid and the mental illness rep was on point. This was a 3.75 rounded to 4 for me.

I rcvd an eARC of this book from Netgalley. All thoughts are my own.

BRIGGSY! I have been waiting and waiting for Briggy's story since I fell in love with him in Play Your Part. He is so adorable. I love every part of him -even the way he falls in love. Finley didn't stand a chance. I loved how he never forgot her, never wavered. Once Briggsy falls, he falls for life. Finley will always be his one and only - even when her family or his teammates (or ... both in the case of Fi's brother being his teammate) don't agree.

I think the main thing I love about Briggsy is that he's like a normal person to me. He says the wrong thing a lot. He has the best of intentions, but could set your kitchen on fire. He is blunt in an honest way, not a mean way. He says the first thing that pop into his head most times. He doesn't always know the right thing to say. Those around him treat him like a child, mostly, and they fail to see just how insightful he is. But Finley saw it all and loved him anyway.

The bipolar rep in this book is expertly crafted. It really helped me delve into the mind of someone with bipolar and helped me see the struggle, the complexity, the hard truth. It was as educational as it was an escape.

Stick Your Landing is the third romance in the All In series. Finley Harris was an Olympic hopeful gymnast until a medical emergency derailed her career. Stepping back to focus on her physical and mental health meant giving up the dream she had worked her whole life for. A few years have passed and now she’s finally getting the pieces back together and finding herself again. Enter Zach Briggs, a professional hockey player suffering from a concussion who just happens to be Finley’s brother’s teammate. He is the last thing she should want, but exactly what she needs. Will Finley and Zach be able to make a relationship work or will something stand in their way.

I am a huge sports romance fan and hockey and gymnastics are my two favorites so this book combined very thing into one. I was hooked from the first page and couldn’t wait to see how everything played out for Finley and Zach. They were so perfect together that I couldn’t get enough. Zach was so sweet and amazing, there couldn’t have been a better male lead for this book. The story did get a little slow on the middle for me, but I still loved it all the while. I haven’t read the other books in this series but will definitely need to check them out. If you are a sports romance fan and are looking for a good read with the perfect cinnamon roll male lead this book is for you!

This was so cute! This was my first time reading something by Kathryn Kincaid but it won't be my last!

4.5 stars

I loved Zach and Finley together! Zach is the sweetest and I loved how they met and how they started with more of a friendship. They both had a lot of growth and seemed to bring out the best in each other. For being so young, I really enjoyed these characters and no third act breakup! Also, loved being back with the Palmer City Wolves, and cannot wait for the next book!

This one is for you if you like:
- Gymnastics/Hockey Romance
- Brother’s Teammate
- Friends to Lovers
- Black Cat/Golden Retreiver
- Forbidden/Secret Relationship
- Mental Health Rep
- Kind of Second Chance

Thank you Netgalley and Victory Editing Netgalley Co-Op for this ARC!

Thank you to Kathryn Kincaid and NetGalley for allowing me to read ‘Stick your landing’ in exchange for an honest review.

This book absolutely blew me away. Coming in to this interconnected standalone series - 3 books deep - was a daunting task, however, this book was such an enjoyable read and so well written that not for one second was I confused or lost with the supporting characters or plot from previous books. The author gives the perfect amount of detail regarding the families and previous plot points.

Finley and Zach were just the sweetest. Giving perfect ‘golden retriever x black cat’ vibes throughout the book, I rooted for the characters and their love story. The mental health rep in this story was phenomenal and realistic, never once did I as the reader feel pandered to, or talked down to in explanations regarding the FMC Finley’s diagnosis of Bipolar disorder. The subject was handled sensitively and was well explained, whilst giving us a great plot point of how misguided family and friends can be when it comes to a loved one with a diagnosis or condition.

Watching Zach and Finley find the balance in their relationship between fun and serious, and in their daily lives, was so enjoyable to read. The romance blossomed so naturally, and was a pleasure to read.

I will certainly be reading more from this author.

Finley, a gymnast on the brink of a comeback, is slowly getting her life back. Zach is a hockey player recovering from a close call on the ice. When they end up at the same house, they see they might fit together.

This was cute! As a former gymnast, I was very interested in Finley and seeing her in the gym. It was very insta-lusty, and I personally like the angst of growing chemistry between characters. It wasn't a perfect fit for me, but I think a lot of others will enjoy it!

I highly recommend Stick Your Landing for sports romance readers! Fans of Elle Kennedy will enjoy this title. This was my first Kathryn Kincaid book, but I can't wait to read her other titles.

This is the third book in Kathryn Kincaid's All In series. Stick Your Landing is a brother's teammate, opposites attract, sports romance. Both Finley and Zach are both sidelined from their respective sports of gymnastics and hockey with injuries. They find themselves recovering at Finley's brothers house and while they both try to keep their distance, they are struggling to resist their mutual attraction.
