More Than the Game
Becoming and Evans #1
by Jenni Bara
Trending on social media is her nightmare.
Beth Evans, former Olympic golden girl, known for a national scandal and daughter of a rising political star, is more than happy to stay out of the spotlight, living life as a normal single mom in a small Jersey town. The last thing Beth needs is Twitter’s favorite bad boy–Marc Demoda–walking into her life to stir things up.
Marc lives for the three b’s; baseball, bars, and ball bunnies, until the unthinkable happened. An accident destroys his shoulder and his career, leaving him desperate to get back in the game. Too bad no one hires notorious bad boys to coach. With his reputation on life support, Marc finds his saving grace might be the feisty blonde he can’t get out of his head.
When pictures of Beth and Marc’s chance encounter blow up on Twitter, they strike a deal to avoid further scandals and fix their image. But even in the harsh public spotlight, their fake relationship begins to feel real. Beth’s growing feelings for Marc have her questioning if she can permanently handle the limelight, just as Marc wonders if Beth might mean more than the game.
5 out of 5 fairies
This was such a great story. There were moments that made me giggle, and moments that warmed my heart. I can say there was never truly a dull moment, even when we were getting little peeks at Beth and Marc’s private lives. They both have rocky family lives, and not-so-great relationships with the press. I have to admit, I loved their meeting, but I don’t want to give too much away. If you’re looking for a wonderful romance that will bring a smile to your face, you’re going to want to curl up with this one. Even romance loves who aren’t big fans of sports romances will fall in love with this book!
Til next time,
