Lucky Shot Review

By K. Bromberg

From the Back

Our first meeting? He stood me up.

Our second chance encounter? I told him exactly what I thought of him.

Our third? It came with a bet (he lost) and an understanding that we’re stuck with one another.

It doesn’t matter that he’s Alexander Hardy—British soccer star extraordinaire, world-famous in every way, and a certified sex symbol. We come from two different worlds and live in two different realities. But all we need is one month.

The bet: Help him rehab his reputation to the media and the masses, and in exchange, he’ll help my soccer academy and the underprivileged kids who idolize him.

That doesn’t mean I have to like him. Not his delicious accent, his sexy smirk or those storm cloud gray eyes. Not his incredibly fit body or his sinfully dirty mouth. Not even the way he shows up day after day for the kids or the way he looks at me like he wants to devour me.

He looks at time spent in my world as a penance, while I look at it as a way to leverage his star power to help my academy survive.

But as the days turn to weeks, it seems we’re not as different as I once thought. The man who cares about no one, has fixed his sights on me. With his time at my academy up and his obligations back home calling, do we have a lucky shot of working out?

Review

This was a fun read. Whitney was a great character, she was smart, driven and completely dedicated to the kids at her soccer academy. Hardy is the typical male lead wha has the worse attitude, arrogant and closed off. Watching Whitney chip away Hardy's defenses was neat to see. The character development throughout the story was done really well for both of them. I love watching them starting to heal from their pasts as they grow closer together. This was a great sports romance to read, especially about soccer, which I haven't read before, at least I don't think so.
