If you know me at all, then you know I am a bit obsessed with sports romance. My typical reads are hockey, football, and baseball, but recently I've gotten into auto racing. Well I've branched out again, and just read a sports romance featuring rugby. I know nothing about the sport, but The Offer by Becca Steele has me wanting to learn!
The Offer by Becca Steele was originally included in the Love is in the Air anthology, but now it's been expanded, and it's been published on it's own! Not only is this novella a sports romance, but it is also has the opposites attract and fake relationship tropes. So if any of that appeals to you, I highly suggest downloading the book.
In this book we meet Victoria and Jake. Jake is a professional rugby player, and he has a bit of an image issue with the press. Meanwhile Victoria is dealing with her mother trying to fix her up with any available bachelor. This is due to the fact that Victoria is divorced (marriage annulled) after her husband was caught with another on their wedding day. Anyways, Jake is looking to fix his image and keep his place on the team. It is decided that a fake relationship might work in Jake's favor, and Ethan knows just who to ask. Victoria. Jake and Victoria could not be more opposite, and it looks like this "relationship" is doomed to fail.
Chances are you know what happens next. 🤣
I loved this novella, and I look forward to reading more of the London Players series. I mean if this is how it kicks off, then just hand them all over. Loved the opposites attract aspect. Loved the banter between the two. And of course I loved the HEA. I will say, I do wish it had been a full length book versus a novella, but I can't have it all. It is looking like Alex will get his story told some time in 2022. So I'll have to keep my eyes out for that one!
So now that I've delved into my first rugby book, who has another to recommend to me?
