Body Checked (Astoria Bay Thunder Book 2) by CJ Cartwright – Review by katie stapleton

Body Checked by C.J. Cartwright
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I didn’t think it would be possible for me to like this second book more than the first, but that is in fact the case! In the first book in this series we are introduced to Tia and Bridger and can see the way they banter back and forth. This book solely dedicated to their relationship brings with it more of the sass and banter and expands upon both characters brilliantly! It is steamier and more complex than the first book, and I cannot wait to read more.

I love sports and I love romance novels… mixing the two is a perfect combination! CJ masterfully blends intrigue and suspense with realistic dialogue and situations. The result is that you do not want the book to end. The author prefaces the book with the difficult time it took to finish due to the pandemic and a hope that this world gives the reader a little respite from all that is going on in the world… mission accomplished! I will gladly get lost in this world again and again 🙂
