Cute and fun second-chance sports romance with just a little drama. Looking forward to reading more in the series!
A good second chance romance is always a hit, especially when things ended on bad terms and the characters are pretty much enemies now. Silas broke Miriam’s heart, but he’s back now and is a changed man. He sure has his work cut out for him to win her over though.
I loved the way this author ties sports with love and they are merged together in a way that one doesn’t overpower the other, yet the reader is satisfied with both. I loved getting to know this team and more bout arena soccer, and hope to read stories about each one of the team members. I’m definitely intrigued and I love Tirrell’s writing style.
I expected Silas to be a cocky jerk, but watching him settle into his team and new life proved otherwise. Miriam is understandably cautious, and I enjoyed watching true love crack her shell. These characters interested me and I loved watching their story unfold, especially in spite of their challenges. This is definitely a series to read!
Content: mild romance
Sports romances are ones that I’ve become to love and if I’m honest, a lot of them are based on hockey. I’ve read one or two soccer ones, but never one like this. Kayla was able to explain this sport in this book without it taking over the story, but still being understandable. I’m always amazed when authors are able to do that!
Miriam is the community outreach manager for The Storm. She loves her job and is very loyal to it. I really loved Miriam’s character. It was clear she’s quirky at times, but loves doing what she does. It was nice to see a woman being sucessful and loving her job. The soccer players respected her and I loved that!
Silas is a soccer player and former player for The Storm. When chasing what he thought he wanted, he went to a different team. At the time it felt right for what he thought he wanted. Things changed and Silas has made some mistakes. Silas was an interesting character. He loves this sport, but has come to a point he realized that things weren’t what he thought they were. I love how hard he works to find his place back on the team and to Miriam. He had me laughing quite a few times.
These two used to date and things didn’t end the best of ways. It’s clear the feelings are still there, but with everything that happened can they get back to what they were? I have to appreciate the fact that Kayla didn’t make it easy for Silas, haha. Things happened, feelings were hurt and it takes more than showing up to fix that. I loved watching these characters get to know each other again and maybe find their way back to each other.
On top of this fun and sweet romance, the other characters in this book are a lot of fun. Besides our two main characters Allie (Miriam’s best friend) was my favorite. She says what she thinks and doesn’t care what someone has to say about that. I really enjoyed this sports romance and can’t wait until she gives us the next book! If you’re looking for a sweet romance that will make you laugh and has a touch of soccer, this book is one I can recommend. My only complaint is that I would’ve loved if it was longer. I didn’t have enough time with these characters!
A clean sports second chance romance; Silas made the biggest mistake of his life, he left the love of his life, Miriam, now he wants her back, but can he get her back. I enjoyed this book. I highly recommend it.
I’m not personally a sports fan but I loved this book. The description of the action was enough I could follow along with the players without needing to understand the sport itself. I love these two characters, Miriam and Silas, and I enjoyed getting to know them through their perspective as the story unfolds.
This really helps you understand their motivation for their actions. I don’t think I would have enjoyed it as much if it was only one sided.
The themes of forgiveness and second chances were wonderfully illustrated in this book. Not just between the two main characters but also with the team.
I enjoyed the interactions between all the characters and the comedy that resulted from some of the mishaps along the way. I laughed out loud when they got caught in the hallway of the school and the scolding given by the teacher.
This is a fun and sweet read, perfect for relaxation. Pick up a copy right away!

Oh my gosh, where to start? Well…I loved this book. There, I said it. I. Loved. This. Book. Everything just felt soooooo REAL! The angst. The emotions. The dialogue. The relationships. Each chapter had me hooked, and left me wanting more.
And I just needdddddd to talk about how swoony Silas was!!! When he was nostalgic…I swooned. When he was confused…I swooned. When he was romantic…I swooned. When he was nervous…I swooned. When he was frustrated…I swooned. He was just one HUGE swoonfest, y’all; which was absolutelyyyyyy fine with me!
Also! I absolutely adored that the book was centered around arena soccer; I know it’s something that Kayla is a HUGE fan of, and it was fun to get a taste for the world she loves so much.
As far as content goes: Cleannnnnn!!!
So, I’m going to end the review by saying that this was a perfect second chance, sports romance…through and through. I diddddddd want it to be longer, but that’s only because it was such a great read and I’m incredibly greedy.
One more thing!!! I can’t wait for the other books in the series, y’all! I’m sure they’ll be just as good as this one was!!
