One of the things I loved about this book though is that it kept moving and kept the emotions coming. I laughed, I shouted, I rejoiced, I froze with no words and let's just not mention the swearing. The biggest thing for me though it's been a long time since I cried at a book, let alone cried at multiple points... And this book delivered on that. In walks our home girl Sabrina. She is the good senator’s daughter. Takes life way too seriously at times and always does what she should. I'm glad though even after their HEA is secured, The story doesn't end. We get to see how perfectly they mesh together. The only issue I had was not knowing exactly what happened to Darby and Aria and getting my answer of why?

This is a story about a couple destined to be together, he is a swoon worthy football player and she is a sassy senators daughter and yes on the face of it they shouldn’t be compatible but love will always find a way and this couple are certainly committed to each other.Sometimes New Adult/Young Adult fiction is too whiney and emo for my tastes, but All In is not like that. Sure, there's some angst, a little drama, but they behave like fairly mature, non-whiney teens, and don't act as if the world revolves around themselves solely. Natalie and Brady are both such great characters and once they get together, are even better. I loved them together and their story. The 4 stars rather than 5 is only because I felt the ending was a little incomplete and a tad rushed. Everything else is well-written and the characters are amazing, though. The secondary cast is just as interesting as Brady and Natalie and I can see a really entertaining series coming with all their stories. Their journey to a HEA took me on a emotional rollercoaster about first love, loss, resilience, family, friendships, and protecting and fighting for those you love. I laughed, I cried, I felt frustrated and angry, I swooned, but mostly I found myself smiling with a truly happy heart as I devoured this beautifully written story about first and soul deep forever love. Brady- is one of the kings of Kroydon Hills Prep. Football is his life! He's one of the best QB's in the country and football is his endgame. Who doesn't love a alpha male ;)?

They are the perfect match! They both navigate being in a relationship for the first time and learn what it feels to be committed and in love together. They fight for their relationship and stand their ground, with all the little hiccups that are thrown their way.

Restless Kings Books In Order

Going into this book I knew it was going to be a brilliant but hard read...I mean what duet isn't...and this time (if you are already a Matthews fan) you're already invested in the characters...but I never expected it to destroy me the way it did. And the mouth on that man? Pleasssse 😮‍💨 I was not expecting it because he was such a gentleman. Cooper is probably one of my top book boyfriends now. I love how he always wanted to keep Carys safe. He is just so yummmmm.

This book, along with providing the full story of Sabrina & Murphy, gave Some other Couples their time to shine too. Which I've mentioned above! An older couple which was a fun surprise (to me & Murphy!) & thier love is HEA. Plus, Nat's Bro with her friend/Boss, which was...ahh...also a surprise. & That epilogue has made me even more excited for Dec's (& Anna?) Book! And can't forget about Bash, wtf is happening with him? I simply loved everything about them and I know you will love them too! How can you not: "The slow smile I'm rewarded with hits me harder than any play on the field ever has. I want to be the man who keeps that smile there. I want to be worthy of this beautiful woman who's slowly changing my definition of winning." Bella's stories JUST KEEP getting better and I cannot wait to see where this world takes us next. Believe me, you will NOT be disappointed!

Kings of Kroydon Hills Book Covers

I love these two. They made my heart ache so much in so many ways. The feeling of someone you care about being military, in danger and gone all the time without notice or communication is something I remember all too well. It allowed me to relate with Carys and feel for her on a deeper level. Bella Matthews has hit it out of the park again with More Than A Game, it gives everything you want from a romance novel. A strong female who doesn’t give in, a swoon-worthy (sometimes possessive) alpha, comedy relief and just a hint of drama! I cannot wait to read Annabelle’s story in June. Sabrina! Girl after my own heart! She definitely has taken Nattie’s place in my soul! She is officially my favorite Kroydon Hills lady, for now! She really has come into herself in this book! Her perfect persona is slowly chipped and she’s so much more than she puts out! Cooper Sinclair and Carys Murphy have been dancing around each other for as long as they remember. Carys has had a crush on him since they were younger, and Cooper is now looking at her with eyes wide open, seeing her for the lovely, charming, sassy woman that she is. Like watching a rose blossom, this is a beautiful story of friendship growing only to fully blossom into love.

I really liked Murphy and Sabrina together. He is totally swoon worthy and I liked how feisty and sassy Sabrina was. College romance is not a genre I read a lot of, but I found More Than A Game to be well written and entertaining. If you loved Murphy in All In, brace yourself, I can assure you that you will be a goner for that Ginger Boy after this!! A real touchdown…One hell of a touchdown, considering the fact that this is Bella Matthew’s debut novel. And if this is how she writes at the beginning of her career, I have to say that I am eager to find out what this gifted author will create once she becomes more experienced. This book will leave you one tossed up and around twisted hot flustered mess. Brady, Bash, 🤤Coach Sinclair(oh coach Sinclair).Bella Matthews took off running, pulled off some spin moves, and scored a thrilling 'touchdown' with More Than A Game.
