Being the nice guy leaves me open to being a rebound romance.Which I’m not interested in. I’ve got better things to do.Like taking my spot on the NBA draft picks. It’s all that matters to me.Love has never been on the radar. I’m too focused for all that fluff.Then life slows me down. Way down.An injury at the end of the spring semester has me working my way back to full health all summer long.And … working my way back to full health all summer long.
And wouldn’t you know it? I’m paired up with the most beautiful and aggravating girl on the women’s basketball team.
She ain’t got a chip on her shoulder. She’s got a family-sized bag.
Her body was built for ballet shoes and tights. All of which I’d give up my dreams to see her in.
But she’s focused on one thing—not being anything like her mom.
The mother that is head of the dance program at our university.
I might need my body to heal, but this pretty woman needs her heart mended.
She’s got some deep wounds from the past that she’s not willing to release just yet.
Where I didn’t think I’d ever say such words, I’m up for the job.
This one is mine. I’m going all in.

Wow. This pair have been saddled with more than their fair share of baggage. It may be because they have so much to work through, that it is a very slow burn romance between Micah and Tasha. It’s easy to see the push-me/pull-you dynamic they have going, and I never doubted their chemistry. There were a couple of times I doubted if they would be able to pull it all together before the end of the book, but I never doubted their chemistry. I was a little disheartened with where this book stops, though. We get to see a happy for now ending. I just thought the way it was done it felt a little unfinished. Since the previous couples have made reappearances in the other books, I’m hoping that the next one will give me a bit more Micah and Tasha.
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the authors.
This is another book in a series that follows the lives and loves of University students. Loved this story. The characters were amazing and I love how there were characters from the other book in the series mixed in.
This is the third book in the series and brings Tasha and Micah’s story. The authors do a great job building their story and pulling you in with all the emotions flowing throughout. They add a cast of supporting characters to help bring the story along as well as all the drama. It’s well written,moves fluidly and is an entertaining read.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.
I love a hero who isn’t afraid to go after what he wants and puts his whole self into getting the girl. Tasha is the daughter of Providence University’s Dance Dean and a basketball player. Her relationship with her parents, who are not together, has made her wary and not looking for or expecting a loving relationship. Micah also has issues in his past, but he is wanting the loving closeness of the right girl. And he knows that Tasha is the one for him. You also get to see some of the characters from the first two books of the series and see how their lives are working out. I just loved this story so much and want you to experience it as well.
I received an ARC for my honest review.
Wonderfully fantastic… The book was amazing… It had a lot of details and juicy scenes to it… The characters and their personalities match them perfectly… The plot and the storyline was very descriptive and amazing…

I received a free copy of the mildly steamy college based novel Providence University book 3: Going All In formerly Rebound by Ali Parker and this review was given freely.
A complex and emotional novel where the characters find friendship, love and closure after emotionally scarring events while trying to stop the person sabotaging the Omega fraternity, survive a coach embezzling scandal and maintain top performance in both classes and their sports. Junior Friars Men’s Basketball Captain,business major and the “responsible” VP of the Omega Fraternity Micah Sanders finally agrees to approach the woman of his dreams;introverted senior women’s basketball captain, point guard and daughter of Dance Dean Dr. Delilah McCraven, Natasha”Tasha” Kelly; only to end up injured in a freak accident.
Contains the sensitive themes of teen pregnancy, date rape, embezzling, and cancer. The book also contains an easy flowing, realistic update on the characters we have learned to love in prior sequels, a good lead into to a sequel, and the hint of a happy permanent ending for Micah and Tasha.
Good standalone but best if read in sequence.
I have really fell in love with this series. Each book has us digging deeper into characters that we have met, students at this university, characters that are friends across sports and interests. What is so unique, that really draws me in is that each character has their own passions, their own sport, their own drive from something in their past. It’s a series about friends and this story about Micah and Tasha really pulled at the feelings. Tasha has such a rough relationship with her mother, and that bit, that emotion is so real. My heart twists for her. Micah is the ultimate good guy, a heart of gold, with his own past trauma. I loved how the two connected, how their story grew and of course getting to check in with our old friends!
Micah and Tasha will have you reliving your college days through them minus the emotional drama they both has experienced. The story and setting are well written and Ali has us feeling as if we are right there with them as the story unfolds feeling and seeing with our inner eyes. I loved Micah’s and his commitment to Tasha. I voluntarily agreed to receive an ARC of this book for an honest review.
Loved it . Way better then 5 stars . Couldn’t put down .
