i really enjoy how different cooper was from his older brother james and penny was from bex, they weren't a carbon copy of the same character. their personalities were able to shine through and we were able to truly love the characters. there was a different plot, different characters but it still remained in the same setting. authors who can build worlds like that are utterly talented in my book. Breakaway: A Coach’s Daughter College Sports Romance (Beyond the Play Book 2) by Grace Reilly – eBook Details She's my coach's daughter, but from the moment she grabs me on the ice rink, she's the only thing on my mind. She wants me to introduce her to all the things she's been dying to experience in the bedroom. If I say yes, I'll be relaxed on the ice again - but if her dad finds out, I can kiss any chance of being captain goodbye. This book was definitely unique to me as I felt I hadn’t read something where a relationship had been pre established before the book began.. I honestly thought that would ruin some of the tension….I WAS WRONG. These two had literal tension for DAAAYS. The build up was so damn hot…and the spice….dead..done🤭🫠

Es un 3 estrellas pero un ++5/5 ★ para Sebastian Callahan, él es perfecto y me tomó por sorpresa porque al 20% del libro sabía ya que era mi favorito en esta serie, el amor que tiene por Mia, paciencia (mucha paciencia) y respeto por sus intereses es muy lindo y estaba resaltando todos los pensamientos que tenía él sobre ella y como siempre alababa su inteligencia 🫠, por otra parte…. Mia, pude entenderla hasta que deje de hacerlo y solo empezó a molestarme, a veces trataba tan mal a Sebastian sin explicaciones que lo compensaran, todo envejeció rápidamente, algunas veces hacia las cosas solo sobre ella cuando NO era el momento, nunca creí decir esto pero me faltó arrastre de ELLA al final, me gustó su ambición por su carrera y su enfoque en no hijos/matrimonio pero algunas de sus acciones… en fin. Tuvieron escenas lindas, muy muy lindas, domésticas y emocionales, pero si, solo me quedo a deber más Mia (odio cuando la protagonista femenina me cae mal) James Callahan. Enough said. He has my heart. He was so cute and just impossible to not fall for. His love for Bex was adorable, he was all-in from the start and wasn’t afraid to share his feelings. Cooper was just much, much more than I was expecting. Not only was he incredibly sweet and wonderfully patient and understanding, but he was also smart and nerdy/dorky and the best dirty talker. There was just a lot of depth to him that completely floored me.

Read Breakaway: A Coach’s Daughter College Sports Romance (Beyond the Play)

i don’t know what i was expecting from this book…but it certainly wasn’t what i got. i came to this book for it to be a pass-time. something trashy. something i planned on only reading half of because i’d get bored…however, this surprised me. it was actually pretty good. During the day: If you have a flexible schedule, you may find it helpful to take breaks during the day to read a book. Together they were just pure perfection 🥹 they help each other find their own courage and they both went through such growth, individually and as a couple. I just wanna wrap them both up in bubble wrap and keep them protected from the world, sweet babies. I haven’t connected with a character like I did with Mia in a long time and she will hold a special place in my heart🤍

seb and mia were friends with bennies but he wanted to take things to a more serious level and had just gotten her to agree to a date when his brother walked in on them *together* and she got spooked. when they’re both at school for the summer and her dorm gets flooded, seb offers her a place to stay and the forced proximity re-ignites old feelings.Was this book mindblowing ? Nah. Does it still deserve 5 stars because it was so entertaining. Yes. Yes it does.

I appreciated that they were still young enough to be making plenty of mistakes in trying to work out who they are and what they want from life, but they were old enough (maybe 22ish?) to have their new relationship feel like it could definitely stand the test of time if they were committed enough and communicated appropriately—which I think they were doing well by the stories end.
