A top book of the year – everything a sports romance should be

December 16, 2016 by Ellepkay 16 Comments

This book is in my top 5 for the year.  BethEllen lent it to me as soon as she finished it, I got 3 hours of sleep one night because I couldn’t put it down and my sick kids kept waking me up – so why not keep reading?, and I bought my own copy so I can reread at leisure. Soccer is my sport of choice.  I played for years and still love watching it.  My husband still plays several times a week and […]

Another entry into the leading romance trope of 2016: slightly redeemable a**holes

December 12, 2016 by Beth Ellen 4 Comments

2016 is the year of the slightly redeemable a*hole in romance. Between Richard in Act Like It, Raven from Dukes Prefer Blondes, and Joshua Templeman from The Hating Game we had quite a year. And then the lovely Patty threw out a phrase that caught my eye. Well, two phrases. German soccer star. Terrible and magnificent. She was right on all counts. Kulti is the story of Sal, the lead scorer on a women’s professional soccer team in the US and Reiner Kulti, a recently […]
