***5 Stars*** This book was exactly what I needed and didn’t even know it (So, yay me for clicking that little button, but then again, it is a series about rugby so it wasn’t all that difficult to do). It had me grinning, swooning and drooling, like a fool the entire time and even when the growlies happened, I was still all in and in total adoration of Donovan and Beckett. So, yeah, I adored Donovan and Beckett. Donovan is dedicated, laid back and an over thinker (something I totally understood) and at a crossroads in his life. But what I really liked was how honest he was with himself at every step. Beckett was a lot of fun because he totally owned who he was. He had this light and ease about him that drew me in and had me wishing we could be friends in real life. Their journey to their HEA was a lot of fun to experience. Yes, Donovan had a lot to work through on his end, but they had a connection, a chemistry that had me rooting for them from the moment they met and I really liked ho...

***4 Stars*** I saw “Rugby” and then I saw “manny” and went gimme.  Gimme now. Because rugby is the bestest sport ever!  And the idea of a rugby lad turning manny...well, I couldn’t resist and I have to say, the book was a lot of fun. It was sweet, frustrating, funny and just an all around quick and fun read that had me rolling my eyes and laughing out loud many times over and also crossing my toes that this isn’t the last time we see the characters we got to meet in Colorado. I really liked Jane and Cole. Jane is sweet, sassy and determined. I loved her drive and ambition, even when it meant that she had to work her fingers to the bone to accomplish it all. Cole, at first glance, is a bit of a grump, but it was totally understandable with all that was going on in his life, but when he finally got out of his own head, he was a great guy. Charming, caring and had just enough alpha in him to make him all kinds of swoon worthy. Their journey to their HEA was a lot of fun to witne...

***3.5 Stars*** I do love me some rugby romance and I love watching as a confirmed manwhore is brought to his knees so it’s no surprise that after meeting Lincoln in Playing It Cool I couldn’t wait to see him brought to his knees, and was he ever brought to his knees. And though I enjoyed the journey for the most part, there were a couple of things that had me going ‘Hhhmmmm’ I loved Lincoln. Yes, he is a manwhore and proud of it and could come off as a cocky S.O.B., though he had every right to be, his heart was golden. He may not believe in love, and his reasons are valid even if at times self serving, but he’s not a bad guy at all. His actions throughout the book proved what a good guy he really was. Em I really liked. Her reason for going all ‘man-vegan’ was something I admired. She realized that she needed to change things up and did. I loved her sassy nature and how comfortable she was in her own skin. She may have waffled over a few things, but for the most ...
