Battling Beckett by T. Christensen – Review by Beverly Finnie

Battling Beckett: A Contemporary Step Brother Romance by T. Christensen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed Battling Beckett, despite it bringing back memories of high school. I was that girl in high school then guys were embarrassed to admit openly they have feelings for. Making the main female character very relatable. The author wrote an extremely strong female lead that went through some devastating situations. Yet she still got back up and didn’t let that stop her.
Greer is new to high society, and her future step-brother Beckett has no desire to make it easy for her. She doesn’t fit in. She’d rather be back at her public school, though she knows the private school can open doors for her. Unfortunately she also has to deal with Beckett. She has no idea what his deal is, but she knows he’s always watching her.
Beckett, is how could my dad do this to me. Bringing home a woman and her daughter that’s just out for his family’s money. (That hit close to home too! Being accused of being something you’re not, especially when it comes to money.) And despite knowing all that Beckett can’t take his eyes off of Greer. His inner battles of attraction shouldn’t be happening. Least that’s how he sees it.
The growth between these two characters is a blessing in disguise. They both have trials and tribulations that they need to get passed.
Can they get past everything to be friends?
Can they get past it to potentially be more?
What happens when Greer ends up in a life threatening situation?
I’ve read this author before and I really enjoy sports romances. Just because this is a high school sports romance, anyone can read it. It has very real issues that are present in life everyday. And I loved how the author brings them to light throughout. Kids are cruel, Teens are worse, and Adults are the worst. People don’t realize how what one does or says can impact another person’s life no matter what age.
Overcoming those things are how we define ourselves.
