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

This started out great! Pulled me in to the story and the characters. As the book went along I was struggling to stay involved and focused. It picks back up near the end and finishes strong. It is a reverse age gap(which is only about 8yrs) and its also touted as a interracial couple. It is but not really and honestly it is very subtle as I am more Interested in each character individually more than what race they are. More importantly this also is full of secrets, lies and sensual tension. I liked that the character is in a sport we do not read about much in romance novels.

The characters are well done. I felt the emotions along with each main personality. Chavez frustrated me at times but I think that is the emotions of a professional player always in the “on” position.

There is a lot I liked about this one. His family, his job, her job and their connection are all interesting to me. The suspense and drama are also good. I also had that Awww factor going a couple times. I just struggled but it could have been my life right now. I would read another story by this author as I feel they stray away from the normal and give something a little different.
