arc review For honest review. This is a story of Jasmine trying to have her father understand she not a little girl and Alex the man that stands beside her. Cute
This is my new favorite book right now.
I loved One Kiss to Win, the first of Romi Hart’s Playing to Win series, so it’s no surprise that I glommed on to book 2 in the series, One Chance to Win. Well let me tell you, this is no cookie-cutter duplicate of the first book. It’s also only tangentially a “Bad Boy Sports Romance”. Yes, the male lead here, Alex, is a super talented University of Florida soccer star, but that’s almost secondary to the story. Fundamentally this is a wonderful love affair between Alex and Jasmine and much more about their relationship and how it impacts on and is impacted by Jasmine’s relationship with her father and brother (mom having abandoned them ages ago) and their family owned oxen ranch and Michelin starred restaurant. (As an aside, if the author isn’t from a family that runs a top steak restaurant she’s had to have done a ton of research – I found my self salivating all too frequently as I read this book). The complexity of the characters here is as important as the really well done (and nicely heated) love story. I might’ve come here looking for a fun spirts romance but I stayed – and give this book 5 stars – because it’s just a beautiful and beautifully complex love story. But for the fact that I’m literally dictating this review my husband from my hospital bed I could go on and on with praises – the book definitely deserves it. Since I can’t do that I will simply note that the book is most definitely one to read, and it is easy to highly recommend. I’m definitely looking forward to the next book in this series.
This is the 2nd book in this awesome series, and is Jasmine and Alex’s story. Alex is a soccer player, who goes out for a celebratory dinner, and is drawn to the waitress Jasmine. Jasmine works in her families restaurant, and with her brother’s encouragement enrols in a Food Science program at the university. These two become close, but what will Jasmine’s father have to say about heir relationship? This is a definite must read, you will not be disappointed. This is a well written flawless story, which is emotional, heartbreaking, and with twists and love. I was intrigued and hooked throughout, and look forward to reading more from this talented author. I highly recommend her work for all readers!
Take a chance on this win
Jasmine, a Jill of all trades at the family restaurant El Buey, takes her brother’s advise and enrolls in the Food Science program at the University of Florida. Alex, a soccer player at UF, went to El Buey after a surprising win and interacts with Jasmine over the meal he is served. As the story progresses they are drawn together and thrown apart, family ties are tested and dreams may never be realized. One Chance to Win is a book you should take a chance on. This new adult sports romance has family drama, personal growth (for all characters) and a happily ever after to celebrate. You should definitely take a chance on this win of a book by Romi Hart.
I received a free copy of the book from the author. I had the opportunity to review or not.
A really good romance.
This is a really good book about Jasmine and Alex, who meet at her family’s restaurant. Jasmine has spent her whole life working at the restaurant with her younger brother and father. To the point that she isn’t really allowed to do anything else, including going to college or date. But Alex wants her to at least try. It’s a good story about learning to live and grow and has lot’s of heat too.

Alex is a star soccer player at the University of Florida. Jasmine is 22 and works at her father’s restaurant. Her father doesn’t allow her to date or go to college ever since he had to raise them alone when their mom left. When Jasmine and Alex meet the chemistry is hot. Jasmine has to battle yourself for betraying her dad trying to do what she wants by going to college and seeing Alex. When her father finds out everything is wrecked. Will Jasmine and Alex be able to be together or will her dad keep them apart. This is a great read I recommend it. I received this book from bookfunnel and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Wow if you loved the first one then you’re going to absolutely love this one as well. In this one we meet Alex and Jasmine, two very unlikely people to meet and have so much in common but find it hard to get some alone time. Their story is so heartwarming and emotional that we laugh, cry and get mad over why they have to go through. I can wait to see what happens next in this series. Excellent read. I give it 5 stars. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book as an Advanced Reader’s Copy.
ONE DELICIOUS READ!!!
Wow! Talk about knocking one out of the park. Romi rocks this bad boy to the core. You get the full flavor of emotions running through. You are so caught up and drawn deep into the world Romi weaves so wonderfully around you until everything else ceases to exist. Grab tissue when you get your copy, cause your gonna need it. You feel everything the characters feel, heartache, sadness, fear, excitement, and the undeniable chemistry between two souls perfect for one another. Nothing comes easy to the familial group. But who said love was easy. All the twists and turns, along family trying to tear you apart. This is one read you don’t want to miss. I was captivated from the first paragraph and mesmerized until the last word. There’s no parting with this jewel until you finish. If you’re like me you’re gonna read it again and again. No joke it’s that awesome. Romi doesn’t mess around when she pulls on her writers cap armed with an endless imagination and inspiration. She’s definitely a force to be reckoned with. The characters are so realistic, complex and believable. Their personalities are unique with traits and qualities that balance out as they play off one another perfectly. The scenes are so vivid and detailed it really pulls this magnificent page turning tale together beautifully. You have all the drama and suspense along with a few glitches here and there. You can easily picture each scenario as it plays out. Romi did a magnificent job bringing this read to life flawlessly. Great job Romi, thanks for sharing this little gem with us.
