The Challenger (The Hustlers Trilogy Book 2) by Rowan Rossler – Review by Rosanna Ingram

The Challenger: A Sports Romance Saga by Rowan Rossler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Flynn is a motivational speaker returning from her book tour. Little do her fans know, there is a lot she is hiding from the world. A chance encounter with a hottie at her therapists’s office changes the course of the future she was planning out. But, when the past catches up with her, will she be able to face it and be honest…or will she run…again.

Chavez left the game of tennis at the peak of his career. He is doing his best to hide the drama going on in his family. When he meets Flynn..there are sparks. When he asks her to be his new coach as he returns to tour, he believes they are laying the foundation for a solid future. But…a life built on lies is easily crumbled. As he opens up to Flynn…she can’t seem to do the same. When the fight or flight response kicks in…will they fight for their relationship? Or is letting her run away the best for both of them?

I enjoyed these characters. They are both broken in their own ways and are trying to fix themselves. However, preaching honesty is the best policy and following that rule are two very different things. Flynn is hard-headed and strong-willed….but also scared and tired of the lies that seem to be compounding. Together these two are navigating a lot…an age-gap…two broken souls…a combustible connection that can be felt coming off the pages…a stalker…(the list goes on). It kept my attention from beginning to end. A good book!
