This is my first book by this author, and I loved it. Claude and Delilah had a bitter sweet sort of relationship, and all the ups and downs made you on unsure of where things would go. Delilah was sweet and loving, and truly Claudes number one fan. Claude had a sort of arrogance to him, and it feels as if he took the Delilah for granted. Their summer of love, romance, and marriage was a whirlwind. The divorce gave you a sense of tragedy. Their love felt like the seasons and you truly were not sure where things would go when they reconnected. This book is one not to be missed.

Stumped: Love Behind the Wickets is the second book in the To Love a Sportsman series by Pamela Q. Fernandes. This is a sweet contemporary second chances sports romance- with past history, drama, obstacles, interfering ex, family tension, hurts, misunderstandings, and romance.
I appreciate how every book I have read of Ms. Fernandes has its own unique theme and identity- this time she brings us a sports romance set in the world of English cricket. We follow Claude and Delilah as fate brings these two together again after years apart. But with a past history full of hurt, family issues, and other obstacles- will their love be strong enough to survive?
Looking forward to Book #3- ‘Goalstruck’…

Thank you, Pamela Q. Fernandes!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Stumped by Pamela Q Fernandes is the second book in the To Love a Sportsman series. What initially drew me to this book is that the author had chosen a sport most wouldn’t choose to write about – cricket. I have come across a couple of other books that use this sport but it is definitely uncommon. And understandably so as it isn’t what most would think of as an exciting sport. And yet this author has turned it into something to be excited about. She had given it depth and a story and has created a book that really grabs your attention. The characters fit the story so well too. Everything about this book has been done so well. I also loved the sneak peek at the end into the next book in the series. I can’t wait to get my hands on it!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this heartwarming sports romance which had me hooked from start to finish. The storyline centred around the poster boy for English cricket, the English vice-Captain Claude de Lussan and the women who loves him Delilah Taylor. Claude is rich, smart, handsome, and a great cricketer all of which also makes him slightly arrogant. Delilah’s whole existence revolves around the vice-Captain and after a thrilling and exciting summer with him she finds herself married and then divorced from Claude, who she knows doesn’t love her back. When he enters Delilah‘s world again years later they have a second chance at their relationship but they have many old hurts, resentments and misunderstandings to resolve if they are to have a future together. This story introduced me to the world of English cricket and the players which I found fascinating. The story flowed well and the plot kept me happily turning the pages. I felt immersed in Delilah and Claude’s world as the descriptive narrative made both the setting and the characters come to life for me. I also found the main characters to be likeable and relatable which helped me feel engaged with them and I found myself cheering them on, hoping they would both get their happy ever after.

I really enjoy this author and love the culture exposure I get when reading about sports I’m not quite as familiar with. Another great read from start to finish, I’ve found this author to be reliable for a good book, relatable characters, steady pacing, and all around delightful time spent. Added bonus if you enjoy a good contemporary piece with some sports thrown in. Pick it up – you won’t regret it.

Stumped is the first book of Pamela Q Fernandez that I have read and boy did she get me hooked. The details are amazing, she explained cricket well enough for me to follow along and understand it. Delilah and Claude have a long history together and the way she brings them back together reels you in and makes you want to keep reading. The way she writes what characters are going through makes you relate to it. Delilah is heartbroken because her best friend from college dated the guy she liked, as someone who knows all about that I understand her feelings. It’s a really great book and I definitely look forward to reading the first book and the next book.

This is the second book in this series about loving sportsmen. I thoroughly enjoyed her first book, so I was excited to get to read this one and she did not disappoint me. I am now salivating waiting to read the third installment, especially after the sneak peek at the end of this book. The author has quite the knack for writing about sports and the headaches of relationships that go along with them. I find this thrilling as I too have firsthand knowledge of that type of relationship and how hard it is to make them work. If you can make them work. I love the way that she describes the characters and the world around them from the sports field to their regular lives. This book was related to the sport of cricket which I knew a little bit about when I started reading. She did a great job of describing the sport without sounding too much like a commentator. I now look forward to watching some actual cricket games on television. Please read this book. Especially if you are into sports.

I enjoyed this sports romance story. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites by her yet. This is a well written story that pulled me in from the first word. The characters are relatable and would have no problems imagining being friends with them. They brought the story to life and made the story fun to read. This is a fast paced story about Claude and Delilah. This is their second chance romance story. They were married and divorced but with that comes lots of hurt. Years later when they meet again, will fate step in and give them a second chance? I enjoyed their growth throughout the story. It also was an emotional roller coaster in parts but they made such great characters. They really made the story for me. I highly recommend reading their story to find out what fate has in store for them.

STUMPED (TO LOVE A SPORTSMAN SERIES Book 2) by Pamela Q. Fernandes
Genre – SPORTS ROMANCE, CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE
Page Count – 137 pages
English vice-Captain Claude de Lussan is the poster boy for English cricket. He’s smart, handsome, rich and a damn fine cricketer. And Delilah Taylor loves him to bits. Her whole existence revolves around him so much so, she polishes his autographed ball from his first century every weekend as it sits in her cabinet. Except, Claude de Lussan doesn’t love her back.
Following a heady summer, she finds herself suddenly married and divorced from the cricketer only to find him return to her world years later. Can they resolve old hurts and bury the past to rebuild a future together? Can they overcome family resentment, old flames and misunderstandings to accept that they what they had was and still is special?
