For 21 years, her Friday nights have consisted of blocking shots rather than taking them. I can’t really ask for anything more!Īs an Olympic rookie, Andie Foster has spent far more time in her cleats than between the sheets.

The writing is great, the characters are well-developed, and the ending left me with a smile on my face. If you’re looking for a fun, sweet, and sexy read with a touch of drama and angst, The Summer Games should be a perfect fit.

We definitely need to see more from her in the future! (note: we did get Georgie’s story in A Place in the Sun)įans of Scoring Wilder will also be happy to see that Liam, Becca, and Kinsley are all back and we’re given glimpses of their lives after the book ended. I enjoyed her scenes and found her funny, sarcastic, and completely quirky. The secondary characters are also great, especially Freddie’s sister, Georgie. He could have (and should have been) much more proactive when dealing with his mother and even Andie. I didn’t like that Freddie seemed to be so passive with certain situations in the book, however. Everything there has an expiration date, so I didn’t feel like it was out of line at all. Things between Freddie and Andie seem to move quickly, but I have a feeling that’s what really goes on in the Olympic Village. I was rooting for them to figure things out and fight for their happiness. Yes, Andie and Freddie’s relationship is a bit of rollercoaster, but I found myself totally caught up in it. However, there are some major roadblocks to a happy ending as Freddie may or may not be engaged-to-be-engaged (!!!). When she meets Freddie, sparks fly and they have an immediate connection. The Summer Games follows Andie, an American soccer player, and Freddie, a Michael Phelps-level swimmer, as they compete in the Summer Olympics in Rio.Īndie has been living and breathing soccer for years to make it to the Olympics, so when she gets to Rio, she’s ready to work hard and play harder. I am happy to report that it totally ticked all of my boxes and left me feeling happy and swoony:īehind-the-scenes look into the world of sports?Ĭheck, check, check, and check! Settling the Score Summary So when I read the blurb for The Summer Games, I knew it was a must-read!

Sports romances are my weakness–they’re like catnip to me and I can’t resist.
