Review: Overtime by Maggie Rawdon
/
About the Book
Colton St. George is the league’s star quarterback, the most eligible bachelor in the country, and the poster boy for “nice guy”.
Everyone wants a piece of him.
Including me—because I need him in front of my camera to raise money for charity.
There’s just one problem.
Before he was famous, I took his already broken heart and shattered it.
So he only agrees to do the photos on one condition—I go first. In his home, at his discretion.
And in private? He isn’t quite the good guy I remember.
Before I know what's happening we're unraveling in a game of favors and bets. One I’m not sure either of us can win
Review
Second chance romances are normally misses for me more likely than not. However, Overtime quickly became one of my favorite sports romances of this year. There was just something so perfect about the dynamic between Colton and Joss. They were just so good, and I enjoyed their banter and their reluctance to restart their relationship. I was obsessed with them both. Star quarterback and famous photographer.
This book is a part of an interconnected series; however, I did read it as a standalone. And unfortunately, I feel that that did hinder my reading experience a little bit. I can only blame myself. There were a lot of characters popping in and I couldn’t remember who was with who. Those characters were main characters in the previous books, and if I had read them then I would have known what happened. Again, I can only blame myself.
I do feel that this book missed several opportunities to explore and expand Joss and Colt’s history. While reading, I was expecting a chapter of flashbacks to show what exactly happened, but it never came. Maybe their past had been fully explored in other books; however, I still would have loved it to be in their POV.
Final Thoughts
I really did love Overtime, and most of my complaints are due to me. As great as Joss and Colt were, I wanted more. More in terms of what exactly happened all those years go. The author did mention what happened but I wanted the experience of reading it and experiencing that emotion.
