Low on angst, pure romance with two utterly pleasant leading
ladies makes this a great little read.
Wyatt Wicked is a leading volleyball player in the
world. She’s “the most sought after volleyball player in the world, male or
female”. Since ladies volleyball doesn’t have a league of its own stateside, Wicked
has spent years being a part of teams in Europe and South America. But now the
US is taking its first baby step into creating a woman’s volleyball league and
Wicked’s charisma is the biggest factor and draw for this happening. Everly
Holman had a promising career as a volleyball player but on the way to
her very first match she had a serious accident and multiple injuries put paid
to that avenue. She trained in psychology and sports psychology is her dream
posting now. On her way to the interview, Everly and Wicked literally bump into
each other and under the little sniping, there is a load of attraction there.
Everly gets the job but resists the girl. With Wicked being
the star player of the team and Everly being the team psychologist, all sorts
of lines would be crossed, not to mention a possible conflict of interest.
Both the ladies are immediately delightful right in from the
first scene. There is great chemistry between them and you’re totally rooting
for them right away. The character development is wonderful. There are many
more details of the past and circumstances in the present with Wicked so there
are more dimensions to her, but Everly holds her own with flair. The sex scenes
are so good and the relationship between the two is superb. There was a brief
scene where it looked like Everly wasn’t particularly on the ball as a
psychologist, but that was thankfully rather short. The whole impact on their
professional dealings in light of a romantic relationship conundrum never got
resolved so looks like Everly’ll have to rethink her job in near future. But as
a romance, this one works perfectly. The details of the game, the strategies
and the actual matches are all excellently done.
Definitely recommended.
