After a sizzling one night stand on New Years, I was ready to forget him. No distractions will get in the way of my tennis dreams – including pro football players that look like Greek gods.

Yet wherever I turn, there he is, refusing to be ignored. As he breaks down my walls, I propose we explore whatever this is between us, so long as it stays label-free and a secret.

But can anything stay a secret with the media frenzies surrounding us both?

I can’t let go of our night together. As a pro athlete, I follow careful rules when it comes to the women I hook up with. She makes me want a different playbook this time around.

Only, she asks to keep our relationship casual and on the down low. On top of that, this year’s the biggest one yet for both of us professionally. She’s storming up the ranks in women’s tennis, and my team’s set to make major moves in the league.

Can I convince her that we’re the perfect match, even during the best year ever for our sports dreams?

BEST YEAR EVER is a steamy, 18+ romance and the first book in the Battles In Love series.

Firstly, I want to say I was feeling brave trying another sports romance because I actually liked the last one I read.

Unfortunately, this just confirmed that… I don’t think I really like contemporary romance all that much.

The writing itself was fine, but what really stood out to me was the dialogue. The banter between the characters was cute… sometimes even sexy… and most importantly, it felt real, not cringey.

Our ML is overall a green flag. He doesn’t do relationships because of his parents’ messy divorce, and the FL avoids relationships to stay focused on her tennis career.

I honestly feel a little bad leaving this one at 3 hearts because if you enjoy contemporary romances with minimal drama and very low stakes, this would probably be a great read. I just found myself so bored. I liked the characters, their banter was great, but it all felt too realistic and predictable. Where’s the drama?

In conclusion:

In conclusion, I need someone who actually enjoys contemporary romance to read this and give their opinion—because I don’t think I was the best reviewer for this one. Going forward, I probably won’t request any more purely contemporary romances.
