Morgan
Only When It’s Us by Chloe Liese
Goodreads Summary:
2 Frenemies.
1 Disastrous prank.
Ryder
Ever since she sat next to me in class and gave me death eyes, Willa Sutter’s been on my shit list. Why she hates me, I don’t know. What I do know is that Willa is the kind of chaos I don’t need in my tidy life.
She’s the next generation of women’s soccer.
Wild hair, wilder eyes.
Bee-stung lips that should be illegal.
And a temper that makes the devil seem friendly.
She’s a thorn in my side, a menacing, cantankerous, pain-in-the-ass who’s turned our Business Mathematics course into a goddamn gladiator arena. I’ll leave this war zone unscathed, coming out on top…And if I have my way with that crazy-haired, ball-busting hellion, that will be in more than one sense of the word.
Willa
Rather than give me the lecture notes I missed like every other instructor I’ve had, my asshole professor tells me to get them from the silent, surly flannel-wearing mountain man sitting next to me in class. Well, I tried. And what did I get from Ryder Bergman? Ignored.
What a complete lumbersexual neanderthal.
Mangy beard and mangier hair.
Frayed ball cap that hides his eyes.
And a stubborn refusal to acknowledge my existence.
I’ve battled men before, but with Ryder, it’s war. I’ll get those notes and crack that Sasquatch nut if it’s the last thing I do, then I’ll have him at my mercy. Victory will have never tasted so sweet.
My Review:
I had never read anything by this author before, but I am now a fan! I cannot wait to get my hands on the next book in this series, and will be reading her other published books while I wait on it. I didn’t have super high hopes for this book. I hadn’t heard anyone talk about it when I requested it on Netgalley. But y’all- it is so freaking good! Like everyone needs to read this book!
This is a sports romance where the girl is the athlete, it’s a slow burn enemies to lovers romance, and is super steamy. It’s not a dark romance, but it’s also not a light and fluffy read. There are definitely some more serious topics in this book, and I found myself crying on more than one occasion. That being said, this book also has the perfect amount of humor and I loved how the characters jabbed at each other. It definitely kept the book feeling like it was moving quicker. I am so in love with these characters, and cannot wait to read the other characters’ love stories in the following books.
5 stars
