Offsides: Game Time Series by Tam DeRudder Jackson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Chessly wonders of her path in life and although all her friends are pairing off with athletes she would rather not go in that direction but then is Finn. Finn is not what you see although a footballer he is more than that, with his intelligence and just a nice guy but his taste in woman sometimes could use a makeover he is sweet.
Finn is not your typical football star, he is a little awkward and a geek but when it comes to the opposite sex he is clueless. He is never far away from girl’s attentions but the only one he really wants sees him definitely in the friends zone for the time being. So when he offers Chessly a ride home and things are looking good in steps “the mean girls” who totally trash all over things. Can Finn get to have a second chance and show Chess that she is the right one for him?
This is a lovely story of two people right for each other clueless about each other and then a sweet ending that has you heart just breaking. Finn’s character although is a football star is sweet and nice with elements of sexy nerd coming through. I also love the way that his character is portraited as completely rounded and has no ego at all. Chessly’s character was a great compliment to Finn’s but at times I did feel her a little over opinionated regarding certain things but maybe that’s just because she was not mature enough to deal with the situations.
All in all the book flowed really well and the arc of the story had a gentle build up which was a pleasure to read. The chemistry from the characters was just lovely and the secondary characters added the overall story really well.
I can’t wait to read the next instalment in this series.
