Lace knows exactly how to balance heartfelt moments with laugh-out-loud scenes, and the characters felt properly real and relatable. The slow-burn romance was deliciously done, though I did guess a few plot twists a bit early. Still, it’s a thoroughly enjoyable read that’ll appeal to anyone who loves a bit of banter, banter, and more banter – plus a dash of romance to keep things spicy!

This is a good book. The two main characters are Skylar and Reece. They have each other since high school. Skylar is a football player. Reece is psychologist for the football team. There is an attraction. Skylar comes into Reece’s office and talks to him. She feels safe in his office. They react to their feelings for each other. They each have issues but together they work them out and fall in love.

I enjoyed it on one hand and on the other both characters somehow got on my nerves. Skylark being ignorant and Reece being so uptight, too much. It just was a bit garden to like both of them and feel the chemistry at first but with the time I started to enjoy it.

3,5 stars

This story brings the heat with great chemistry and playful banter. Some parts felt a bit rushed, but overall it’s an enjoyable, feel-good romance

A wonderful read!
This novel drew me in from the very first page and kept me hooked until the end. The characters were vibrant and relatable, the writing was engaging, and the story had just the right balance of heart and humor. Highly recommend!
Many thanks to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

ok the writing was more intense and addictive in this 2nd book. i read this in one sitting, unable to put the book down.

this one was way more sports focused than the last one and i really enjoyed it way more than the 1st.

can't wait to read the 3rd book!! excited for the tropes🤗

Playing to Score explores the lives of Skylar and Reece. Skylar plays for a women’s soccer team and has just ended a long-term relationship with a narcissistic, self-absorbed soccer star. Now, she’s grappling with her sense of identity and self-worth.

Then enters Reece—an uptight psychologist and Miri’s brother (whose story is told in book one of the series). These two unlikely people find a way to heal each other as they work toward their happily ever after.

A nice level of spice, thank you NetGalley for letting me read and review

I loved this story. Sweet, sexy, fun and swoon worthy. I loved Reece, and watching Skylar slowly pull down his defensive walls was just wonderful. I was cheering for her all the way!

This book has its fair share of heat and spice, but it's never overdone or too much, the focus is still the beautiful romance at the heart of this book. I read it in one bingeable session

I thought this was very good and I will have to add this to the shop shelves. Thank you for the chance for us to review.

Another 3.5 star fun little soccer adventure!

This time, we’re focused on Miri’s nerdy brother, Reece, who Reece-ntly (lol) became the team’s psychologist and has had a crush on team captain Skylar since they were in school together! Navigating tricky boundaries, tough emotional situations, and annoying exes, Reece and Skylar have a delightfully beautiful little journey to being together!

Spending time with the Cavalcade Ladies is so fun, and I’m excited to continue on with them! Thanks so much to Sasha Lace and NetGalley for a chance to read this in exchange for an honest review!

Wonderful story, great character development, great writing! Highly recommend this book. I thoroughly enjoyed it

✨ opposite attract
✨ woman’s football
✨dr psychologist
✨ series but can be read on its own
✨Level 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

✨ LOVE. LOVE . LOVE!!


✨ this series on this book is one of my fav.
I think it’s because the girl is a strong woman, messy and just herself . She has self doubt from being letting down from an emotional ex lover.
Falling inlove with there assigned doctor, adding their forbidden love. Plus!! The doctor is an apposite to her, always tidy, bookworm and just different.

✨ Can be read on its own but it’s better to read the first one too so you can know the other characters in the story.

This book is great for someone who loves romance, advice for self love and just cosy.
Definitely worth the read❤️



✨ Thankyou for the opportunity to read this arc for a honest review.

Skylar and Reece have known each other for years. Now she is single will he finally get a chance with her, or will his job keep them apart?

I immediately went into this book after completing Playing The Game, I was invested in the characters in this group of individuals. I would say that this is a series of companion novels, in this one it centers around Reece (Miri's Brother) and Skylar and how they go from colleagues to being in a relationship that neither of them expected. This one had me by the heart when I started to read it and felt so much for Skylar that I knew that she was in a toxic relationship which had destroyed her confidence. when she meets Reece, he makes her feel special and that she is worth loving and being with.

This book was a very enjoyable read. I read it in a few sittings and was hooked after just a short time reading. The story was well paced and the characters were well developed.

⚽Book Review⚽

What I really loved about this book was that this is the first book I have read in a long time where the FMC is the one that plays the sport, and not the MMC.The MMC is just gorgeous even if he likes everything neat and tidy, and in the right place. His younger siblings are horrible to him - which only made me love him more. The FMC really comes from a place of pain which the author developes and communicates well. The plot and characters grow wonderfully throughout the book and the ending was just delightful. The spice was great and well written. If you are looking for a new take on sports romance, this is for you!

Big thanks to Netgalley, Montlake and Sasha Lane for an early release copy of this book. This is my honest review.

Recently sports romance has become my favourite and this was such a easy breezy quick read with brilliant character. Both the protagonists were mesmerizing and amazing in their own way and I had a great time reading this one. This is the second installment in the series and it was as impressive as the previous parts of this series.

He’s wanted her for years…but they’re professionals now. Who will cross the line first?

Skylar

I’ve fought my way to the captaincy of Calderdale Ladies, and it means everything to me. So when my toxic boyfriend breaks my heart, I bottle it up. The team comes first.

Dr Reece Forster is supposed to be getting the team in the right head space for victory, not counselling me through heartache, but I can’t help opening up to him.

The hot doc is off limits, but the chemistry between us is off the charts…

Reece

I’ve longed for Skylar Marshall since we were in school, when she was prom queen and I was eating lunch with the librarian. She never even knew I existed.

And now? I’m good at my job because I’m in control. The professional boundaries are there for a reason.

But when Skylar confides in me, it’s all I can do not to abandon my principles completely. If I tell her how I feel, I could lose everything. But, how can something that feels this right be wrong…?

Playing to Score is the second book in the Playing the Field series—addictive romances full of heart and steam, perfect for fans of T L Swan.
Loved it. Will recommend to others.

Fun and spicy with a twist of fottball. Loved it! Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for this free eARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

I loved this. It made my heart so happy. I laughed and loved and teared up. Such a beautiful story and so well wrote
