Even though I already owned Sierra Hill’s “Full Court Press: A College Sports Romance (Courting Love Book 1),” I agreed to review via B00|{$P®0UT as an ARC; I recommend this book to others based upon its own merits. All opinions expressed within this review are uniquely my own & freely given!
Until next time… Happy Reading!
Sierra Hill is basically a genius. I adore her brain and how she crafts a story to such perfection! I’ve read this series out of order, not entirely on purpose, though it happened and I’m kinda glad that I did. After meeting Ainsley and Cade in a later story I was overjoyed to jump into this story.
Plus how true is that title! Ainsley and Cade are honestly the sweetest! I fell in love with Cade right away and I knew there was no going back. This book did break me though, i had to take a few days between this and the next in the series because of the book hangover I had. It was so good my brain wouldn’t let me continue on with another story until I had come down from the high I got from Sweetness. I was not disappointed in this book whatsoever!!! Another that I would highly recommend!

The first in the Courting Love series by Sierra Hill is a hit for me. I loved that Ainsley is not your typical college girl but one that knows what she wants in life. Now Cade at times seemed responsible and yet we see a side he doesn’t really show to anyone. The chemistry between them may seem funny at times with Aisnley making him there is to life then just sports. Not only these two warm this reader but we see a family of friends coming together. Cannot wait for more in this series.

This is the 3rd book I’ve read written Sierra Hill; she has done a great job at writing a good book; I will definitely be reading more of her books.
The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.
I loved the chemistry between the characters.

Ainsley and Cade’s story was a journey. They didn’t really like each other in the beginning, but there was an underlying attraction. They didn’t look all that good on paper: he was the trouble-making cocky athlete with hordes of followers and she was sunshine and goodness on the outside while needing to be the provider and protector on the inside. Typical college story but worth the read.

College sports star vs good girl with a little bit of attitude. Cade is probably the stereotype entitled sports hero. Arrogant, conceited and a little annoying to those nor enraptured. He is not mean or intentionally hurtful. He is spoiled by his monied upbringing and basket success. He is a little immature and makes some questionable choices. He is very intelligent. His degree/ major is not easy. He thoughts of what he wants to do with his degree gives you an insight to his possibilities. Ainsley is opposite. She works two jobs, takes care of her family, and goes to school. She has no time for play. When she first meets Cade, she is not impressed. He is intrigued. On paper they are not a match but really they need each other and make each other better. Good start to what can be an interesting series with intriguing characters.

Loved Ainsley and Cade’s story
Such a great story. I felt the emotions of Ainsley and Cade as if I was there. Excited to read the other Courting Love stories. Hopefully Ainsley and Cade will make some Cameo appearances so I can see how they are.
Ainsley is a young woman with a mentally ill, chemically dependent mother and a teenage sister. Her mother is so unreliable and irresponsible that she has to take on the role of true caregiver to her sister all while working two jobs and going to school for her nursing degree. She doesn’t have time for men in her life especially after seeing all the failed relationships her mother has. There are more important things, like her sister and securing their future. That is until she meets Kincaid.
Cade is a college basketball star that has just gotten himself into a lot of trouble. He acts like the typical star athlete, an arrogant man whore. He needs to grow up now that he’s a college senior. His current trouble pushes that along but so does 3 chance meet ups with Ainsley. He’s taken by her and does something he’s never done, never had to do. He chases her until she finally relents and gives him a chance.
They both have their own internal and external struggles and it won’t be easy for them to be together. This story shares their emotional journey of the happy, sexy, romantic and sometimes unhappy times. So glad I was able to read their story.
Ainsley has so much on her plate that you want to just reach through the pages and help this young lady out. She’s wise beyond her years and works harder than most people I know. You respect her and feel for her.
Cade is that bad boy who your mother warned you about but like an onion you peel a few layers away and you see a whole other side of him. His persistence is what made me love him along with that cocky way of talking.
These two are the definition of opposite but they work. Very good book.

I enjoyed this college sports romance! It’s a sweet and sexy story with a good plot. I like Cade and Ainsley! There is a lot of chemistry plus determination. I enjoyed the story but some of the back and forth was a little much. I love the characters and develop of the relationship. Nice story!
A basketball player used to get what he wants when he wants it; a girl who hasn’t had an easy life and plays mother to her fifteen-year-old sister.
The story deals with some stuff but nothing heavy and the characters were good

I don’t know what I was expecting with this but I love Sierra’s stories so thought I would give it a go. I was not disappointed. The story flowed so well and you could feel what the characters were going through. Cade and Ainsley are from two different worlds but not all that different once they start talking. Their love was so sweet and of course, HOT! It was great seeing Cade’s growth and how he also helped Ainsley realize there is true love out there. I only wish there was an epilogue where we could get a glimpse into their future.

Happy that he apologized for his actions. He showed that he could be an adult about the situation. She noticed it even if she didnt know what was happening in his life. They worked because they took care of each other even when it was not reciprocal.

Sweetness by Sierra Hill is a book that will cure your sweet tooth. This book is a college romance about two people from opposite worlds.
Ainsley is a girl who hasn’t had the easiest life so when a guy who has starts showing an interest in her she’s suspicious. Cade is a star athlete who is used to getting what he wants and he wants Ainsley.
What happens when opposites attract?
I enjoyed this book it was a fun read.
Oh my Sweetness!! Sierra Hill is a new author to me and I am so happy I found her! This book had me hooked from the first chapter. I love how Ainsley is portrayed in the story, not your average cliche college girl. Cade is not your typical college jock either. He’s a smart guy who gets caught doing something wrong, and that mistake leads him to meeting Ainsley. Two people from opposite world’s destined to be together. A true love story! I highly recommend reading this book!!! I just one clicked the test of the series!! Thank you Sierra Hill for writing this book!!!
This was an enjoyable and interesting read. I enjoyed the characters and the story was well written. I would recommend it to others.

Y’all know I’m all about Sports Romances and I really enjoy college centered ones, so the whole Courting Love series is right up my alley! I actually haven’t read a lot of basketball romances (though I’ve read a few) and I enjoyed Ainsley and Cade’s story. I love a book that has a male lead that is dogged (in a good way) in his pursuit of the female lead and we definitely get that with Cade. I even liked the way that Ainsley gave him the brush off for so long – though when she finally succumbed to his charms it seemed a bit abrupt. Overall, the book read quickly and I had a good time meeting Ainsley and Cade and their friends and I’m stoked to continue with the series. 3 out of 5 wine glasses.
I like this story It is well crafted and beautifully plotted am sure that the characters go through was well thought out their challenges in their relationship.
