Nothing could have prepared her for the man she got to know. 

Or the murderous urges he brought out in her.

“Sal, please don’t make me visit you in jail. Orange isn’t your color.”

This was going to be the longest season of her life. 
  

 
5/5

What happens when your celebrity crush and hero becomes your coach? Sal has to find that out first hand. She is a kickass professional soccer player who just wants to play and dreams of winning championships. She is absolutely shocked to find out the man, who inspired her ambitions on the pitch, is going to be a coach for her team. 

Only he's not quite what she was expecting. He's an ass.  

Have I ever mentioned how much I enjoy slow burn romances? Mariana Zapata is seriously the master of them. Kulti is written in a way that makes the romance more realistic then insta-love. It's believable and so heart felt.  I absolutely loved the personality of Sal and the secretly sweet side of Kulti.

Callie Dalton is probably my favorite narrator I've listened to so far. She brought brought the characters to life and made the humour even more hilarious. She captures the energy of Sal and the attitude of Kulti. I can not wait to listen to another book she has narrated. 

Don't miss this if you love slow burn or sports romances. It is probably one of my favorite sports romances I have ever read, and it is one I plan to revisit again and again. 

I really don't have the words for how pleasant of a surprise Tricia Levenseller's Daughter of the Pirate King was for me. I've heard great things, but I didn't really think I was going to absolutely love it. Maybe it was the cover that made me under estimate it? I really don't know. I'm also not big on books about pirates, so there's that as well. However I ended up  loving every minute I spent reading this. I was not happy when I saw I had but a few pages left, and even unhappier still when I reached the end.

Alosa is a firery main character. She is so saucy, and I absolutely love it. I have a feeling she will grow even stronger in the next installments of the series, and I look forward to seeing it. Alosa has secrets which you discover throughout the book, but you'll have to read it to find them out. She is clever, brave, and can fight like no other.

Riden is my favorite type of hero. He can match Alosa in banter and wit. He has a good heart and is loyal to a fault. He definitely has a romantic side and I so hope we get to see much more of that as the story continues.

Almost all of the book is set on a ship Even though it is an unchanging scenery, I never once was bored. In fact, I was hooked right from the beginning. I might have devoured this in the course of one day. The plot has a steady place, and there are twists and turns throughout. Some you can see coming, some took me by a pleasant surprise.

If you are looking for a book full of fighting,  witty banter, and adventure then make sure you check this one out. I for one will be counting down the days until I get my hands on the sequel. It was a breath of fresh air in the reading slump I feel like I have been in lately.
