Offside: Special Edition

Product Information

Celebrating her 21st with her boyfriend at a fancy restaurant should have been a happy occasion instead her boyfriend Luke thought it was the perfect opportunity to put their relationship on pause indefinitely yet again, it was crappy but Luke had never really seemed to care too deeply about Blairs feelings after cheating on her numerous times in the past she was caught up in the bubble and couldn't see how bad things were until that bubble popped. There were a lot of parts that just never came to fruition. He never ever meets her parents, but does something pretty big to help them. Even in the epilogue there is no mention of ever meeting them. This was so odd to me. Following a string of scandals and substandard grades, Chase is on thin ice with his teammates and tyrannical coach. The last thing he needs is to have his focus and loyalty called into question by fraternizing with his team’s #1 competition, but a beautiful stranger who throws herself at him one night is too tempting to pass up… Until she throws up on his shoes. I loved the aspect of Chase’s story that we don’t normally see in a sports romance. Very interesting to see the male POV and have a bit of role reversal. Chase was the star of the book for me. He’s funny, filthy, protective and honestly hot af. Everything else just felt very drawn out yet not quite fully flushed out. I still enjoyed it because I really do like character driven novels focused on the couple, and I’m down to try the next book in the series when it comes out.

They get together early, so early that I was truly concerned with where she would go with this because it was a big book. She could have taken out so much of them in their happy phase (especially since the break up is late and doesn’t last long) and focused more on developing the conflict. It was good but idk I feel like the sex tape scandal should have been something more. It was really played down on what happened after being hyped up about what could happen. First time reader of this author and definitely won't be the last ♡ I really enjoyed this book not only was it an enemies to lovers but also Blair and Chase saved each other in their own ways, they were perfect for each other damn what anyone else thought... I loved how patient and caring Chase was with Blair in bringing her out of her shell in the bedroom after she'd put herself last with her assh☆le ex. After being dumped on her 21st birthday, Bailey James rebounds right into the arms of her ex’s biggest competition… This book was absolutely adorable and I enjoyed it all the way to the end. I found it on Wattpad and technically it’s a book, so I’ll count it towards my GoodReads challenge.This book is hot, and definitely intended for mature audiences (yes, I know you’re probably not 18 and reading this, but I’m forewarning you), and I found myself swooning on multiple occasions because of the hero. W O W.

Please note: This listing is for the published, revised version of Offside only as there will be some substantial edits and changes. Following a string of scandals and substandard grades, Chase is on thin ice with his teammates and tyrannical coach. The last thing he needs is to have his focus and loyalty called into question by fraternizing with his team’s #1 competition, but a beautiful stranger who throws herself at him one night is too tempting to pass up…until she throws up on his shoes. The heroine stole my heart, as did the hero, which is typically rare for me. On most occasions, I typically love one character more than the other, but in this case, I absolutely love both of them. And binge-read this book is what I did. Chase and Bailey were... there was so much to them between the kind-of enemies-to-lovers; fake dating-ish; he falls first (God how I love that!); he's a tough guy but protective over- and sweet to her; she's so smart and beautiful... but Avery made them also so unexpected. While reading and simultaneously recommending this book, I described the writing as "crisp" because it felt so refreshing! Beyond that, the twists and turns, the chemistry of the characters, the depth of story and lives, the unexpected as well as the expected... I am straight-up fumbling with my words right now because I can't properly articulate what this book did for me. Chase becomes a consistent in Bailey’s life during the time she needs someone the most. As their bond turns to more, they are met with much resistance from those around them. Their connection is put to the test repeatedly, but is it strong enough to withstand all the drama thrown their way?Okay, so I can see why so many people liked this so much, but it wasn’t really for me. Which is kind of weird considering I got recommended it as a mix between The Deal and The Risk, which I absolutely loved.

The last thing he needs is to have his focus and loyalty called into question by fraternizing with his team’s #1 competition, but a beautiful stranger who throws herself at him one night is too tempting to pass up...until she throws up on his shoes. I loved Ty, adored Dallas, basically fell in love with Shiv and how good of a friend she is (as well as Noelle and Zara, absolute babes), strongly disliked Derek, absolutely despised Luke and Bailey’s old roommates (can’t be bothered to remember their names), wanted to rip Kristen’s hair off of her scalp, and I think that I’ve covered important.

The last thing he needs is to have his focus and loyalty called into question by fraternizing with his team's #1 rival.

The heroine having a hard time having an O was definitely unique and I loved how the hero handled it.
