Outflanking the Flanker {a review}

 

All's fair in Love and Sports...until it isn't.

Friends, have you been looking for a new sports romance to read that features a Rugby player? How about a sports romance that has a stalker? How about a book that is set primarily in Paris? Well if that all sounds wonderful, take a look at Outflanking the Flanker by Nicole Phoenix!

In Outflanking the Flanker we meet Chloe and Andrew. Chloe is a travel writer and has just arrived in Paris. She booked this specific hotel room long in advance, but now they are saying they do not have her in the system. Since Chloe is a frequent traveler, she has documentation about her reservation, AND she can also tell when she's being fed a line. Chloe knows there must be some VIP that she was bumped for. Moments later, Andrew walks into the hotel, and is given the key to the room that Chloe had wanted. Needless to say, Chloe is ticked. Thankfully though Andrew manages to get her another room, and the room is comped. So yay for that. What happens next is a steamy moment in an elevator, a few meals, and then it's over. Or is it?

I went into Outflanking the Flanker not knowing much. I knew what the teaser told me, and it was enough to draw me in. I was not expecting the steamy elevator scene, I was not expecting a stalker, I was not expecting a brief vacation romance, and I was not expecting the big dramatic moment later in the book! With everything that happened in this book, I found myself fully invested. I had to know how it was going to play out, and how Chloe and Andrew would get their HEA. Thankfully everything wrapped up nicely, and the stage was set for the second book, Capturing the Captain. At the end of the day, I enjoyed the setting, I was intrigued by the characters, and the story was good. I am happy that I read the book, and am looking forward to future books by Nicole.

Thank you for taking time to read my thoughts. I recommend that you pick up Outflanking the Flanker. Whether you're a rugby fan, or just a general fan of romance, I think you might enjoy this one.
