Thank you to the author,Kylie Skye in E ARC, in exchange for an honest review.  

 

 

RORI

 
After a sizzling one night stand on New Years, I was ready to forget him. No distractions will get in the way of my tennis dreams - including pro football players that look like Greek gods. 

Yet wherever I turn, there he is, refusing to be ignored. As he breaks down my walls, I propose we explore whatever this is between us, so long as it stays label-free and a secret. 

But can anything stay a secret with the media frenzies surrounding us both?

 
LANDON

 
I can’t let go of our night together. As a pro athlete, I follow careful rules when it comes to the women I hook up with. She makes me want a different playbook this time around. 

Only, she asks to keep our relationship casual and on the down low. On top of that, this year’s the biggest one yet for both of us professionally. She’s storming up the ranks in women’s tennis, and my team’s set to make major moves in the league. 

Can I convince her that we’re the perfect match, even during the best year ever for our sports dreams?

Over the past year, I have fallen in love with sports romance. When I came across this one, especially after reading the blurb, I knew I had to check it out. I’m so glad that I did. One of the things I liked about this book was that both main characters were athletes, and one of them was a tennis player. You don’t often come across sports romances featuring a tennis player, and I appreciate the fact that it was different. I enjoyed how realistic this book felt when it came to professional athletes and trying to balance a relationship at the same time. Their relationship felt realistic to me, although at first, I thought it moved a little too fast. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough, wanting to see what was going to happen with them next. 

I enjoyed that the story was written from both Rori and Landon’s perspectives. I feel that you can get to know and connect with each of the characters more that way. I liked both characters, although there were some choices that Rori made that made me want to talk some sense into her, even if I understood the reason behind them. Landon, on the other hand, you couldn’t help but love him; how can you not? He took care of everyone. I also adored the bond between Landon and his sister, Grace. I loved that he had such a support system. I enjoyed how big sports were part of this book, I noticed that not all sports romance books are like that. I found myself rooting for Rori along with everyone else. 

I liked the way that relationship evolved between Landon and Rori, and the other characters. Best Year Ever is the type of book that you find yourself connecting with all the characters. I’m already excited about the next book in the series. This was a heartwarming, yet heartbreaking at times, debut novel by Kylie Skye and I cannot wait for her next one!
