For all you forbidden romance lovers out there, I think this
book will hit the nail on the head. It’s not quite a teacher/student plot as he iss her coach in
college but only on a volunteer basis. Is a relationship between them discouraged and
definitively forbidden? Absolutely. They are both strictly warned to keep things
professional, but, well, we all know how that’s going to go. Kinsley is working towards her
goal of making the olympic soccer team and Liam is trying to clean up his public image.
He’s a professional soccer star and the “bad boy” of the league. His goal is to clean up
his act, not add fuel to the fire. Of course, all his plans go drastically awry when he runs
into Kinsley at a party the night before their first day of practice.
When they meet,
even though he's a top soccer star, chased by all the women, and intimidating to most in
her position, she's bold and upfront with him and surprises him with her lack of reserve or
intimidation. I liked this side of Kinsley's personality. She was the type of heroine that's
young but most of time pretty confident, bold and flirty, strong (mentally and physically)
and she knows what she wants in life and isn't afraid to go after it. She was a fun
character full of life and I loved the relationship she had with her best friend Becca.
They were very supportive of each other and their similar personalities made for
some funny moments.
There were times when I got frustrated with her and her
less than rational choices and actions though. She seemed immature and her actions
contradicted her decisions. One minute she was saying she wasn't going to step over the
line with Liam her whole future was hanging in the balance. Her Olympic goals, and her
spot on the college team. Everything she's worked hard for her entire life. Then she
would turn around and try to tempt him and get angry as hell when he wouldn't respond or
tried to push her away. She was determined to get him to acknowledge his feelings for
her and she wasn't giving up until that happened.
Of course, being a forbidden romance, there was a lot of
sneaking around, anticipation build up, and a little bit of angst due to them fighting to stay
away. Despite their obvious attraction, their emotions were anything but clear to each
other. He was only going to be in her life for a few short months and he's be gone. Was
all this turmoil worth it in the long run? All she knew is that he stirred feelings that she
never experienced before and she just couldn't resist him no matter how hard she tried.
After getting past the hurdle of not being able to be
together publicly, it seems as if they would live happily ever after...right? Nope. Kinsley
has made an enemy on the soccer team and she's relentless in her pursuit to ruin her. I
absolutely HATED that girl!! I had serious feelings of wanting to do her bodily harm over
all her petty bullying and vicious behaviour. Ugh! They have quite a few issues to resolve,
but Liam is completely crazy about Kinsley and he would do anything to protect her and
help her achieve her goals. I loved how sweet he could be and how he was willing to put
everything on the line in order to prove to her that his feelings were real. Kinsley, I can’t
say that I loved her throughout the whole book. At times, she bothered me, but by the
end I will say she won me over. I loved that both characters were hugely talented and on
equal footing. They had their love of soccer in common and I felt like they understood
each other largely because of that.
This was another great read by R.S. Grey
and I’m looking forward to what she has to offer in the future.
