About the Book

The infamous playboy and star wide receiver for the Seattle Phantom is the last person on earth I would ever expect to come to my rescue. Tobias Westfield and I can’t see eye-to-eye on anything.

But when my date goes to hell and I end up stranded in the pouring rain on my birthday, he’s there—holding my hand and playing the adoring boyfriend. I might have had him all wrong.

Until a leaked video and a motorcycle accident turn everything upside down.

When he struggles in the aftermath, walling himself off from the rest of the world, our friends volunteer my help—whether he wants it or not.

So we’re stuck together while my job is in limbo and he fights to save his career.

But every door I open and every day we spend together has me wondering if we're really all that different.

Review

If Wild Card had been written differently, I would have enjoyed this book more. The book starts off on a high. Scarlett’s POV right off the bat, was gripping and I was so sure that she would be a favorite of mine. Then, Tobias is introduced, and the dynamic between them is entertaining and hot. Unfortunately, the book is unable to hold my attention.

It kept going downhill. From the accident to the leaked video, everything felt as if it was introduced but not fully expanded among. And because of that, the emotional connection was missing between the scenes and especially between Scarlett and Tobias.

Final Thoughts

Wild Card felt like most of the good stuff had been edited out and left an almost emotionless book that had started off strong. It felt disjointed, and even the romance could not save it at the end. I expected more from the romance because on paper it seemed like a good idea.

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.
