Well Aware by Lani Lynn Vale - ARC Review & Release Blitz




BLURB

A one-night stand, agreed on by both parties, was supposed to be just that. One night.

The next day, when Magnolia Baker walked in to the first practice for her last season of professional soccer with the Cowgirls, she expected it to go pretty smoothly. She was a veteran player, nothing surprised her anymore.

At least, until her one night stand walks through the door.

Her new boss, Beaufort Vanderbilt.

The man that set her blood on fire, and made words stutter from her mouth.

For eight months, they fight the connection, acting like they don’t feel a thing for each other.

Then tragedy hits Beau’s life, and she forgets that she’s supposed to remain professional. She forgets that she’s supposed to be the player and him the owner.

Lines are crossed, and soon, they can’t hide a thing from the people around them.

But Beau’s only partial owner of the team she desperately needs to play to remain hidden from her previous life. The other half-owner is dead set on tearing them apart, and making an example out of her. An example that will be a bright, shining warning flag to all future players to never follow in her footsteps.

Not if they want to ever play professional soccer again.





I really enjoy a good forbidden romance and Beau and Magnolia had all of the elements required for it to be a really good one. Unfortunately, for me at least, a lot of the potential of that wasn't fully realized, at least in my opinion.

That said, I enjoyed them as a couple, and I enjoyed the external drama in this one, which isn't always something I can say, but it worked for me here. The characters were strong, and I liked both of them. I also believed in their reactions to things and that the situations they found themselves in were also mostly realistic.

I haven't read the other titles in the series, but this one functions as a standalone and I didn't feel like I was missing anything important.
