Camden Harris is one of the famous Harris' Brothers who all play football. When he gets injured on the field, he feels that his football career is over. Enter Indie Porter, a young ambitious doctor who wants to help Camden get back on the field. The instant they meet, they feel there is more to them than just a doctor-patient relationship.

By mistake, I read the third book in this series first. I really liked it and when I found out there are more, I instantly bought this one. I was really excited about the story of Camden and Indie, because I already got to know them in the third book. Challenge was a great read, but I felt like there was something missing. It was a little bit too much sex and too little story for my liking. I also didn't really get why everybody made such a big drama about the injury, while it could be operated rather quickly and efficiently.
Still I really liked this book and I can only recommend it.

This book was a bit predictable, and I hate an annoying heroine. Wasn’t a fan of how she treated him.

I think I’m just over the playboy meets magic virgin pussy and he becomes whipped harder than a brat by her dom.

Overused tropes and annoying heroine, but a cute story.

Voto finale: 3.5.
Non ho amato particolarmente i due protagonisti perché all’inizio li avevo trovati stereotipati. Camden viene presentato come uno sciupafemmine piuttosto maschilista e presuntuoso, Indie in realtà inizialmente ho fatto fatica ad inquadrarla, dato che mi era sembrata un po’ disturbata (per certi versi lo è, ma non per colpa sua, quanto perché non ha mai avuto dei rapporti umani decenti per colpa di genitori e parenti totalmente anaffettivi). Il rapporto tra i due comincia in modo strano (Camden si prende delle libertà e Indie sembra esserne sopraffatta). In realtà, nel prosieguo della storia i due protagonisti hanno un’evoluzione interessante - soprattutto Camden -, che getta nuova luce sul loro carattere.
A stemperare alcune situazioni un po’ al limite, per così dire, c’è una buona dose di ironia che permette al tutto di restare in piedi.
Interessanti anche i due personaggi femminili “secondari” (tre virgolette in quanto si guadagnano un bel po’ di spazio e di importanza nella narrazione) di Vi, sorella di Camden e di Belle, amica stretta di Indie.
Chi in effetti mi ha convinto un po’ meno, in realtà, è proprio Indie, un po’ troppo schematica nel suo continuo palleggiare il rapporto con Camden nonostante anche Belle cerchi a più riprese di farla ragionare.
Il lieto fine, alla fine arriva, e nel complesso il libro mi è piaciuto.
In conclusione ke stelle non sono quattro proprio perché non mi ha convinto fino in fondo il personaggio di Indie, o quanto meno, pur apprezzando lo slowburn, in qualche momento ho trovato il meccanismo un po’ tirato.
Lo stile di scrittura dell’autrice non mi è dispiaciuto e proseguirò la lettura degli altri volumi della serie.

It’s a cute story. The British-isms threw me off. It seemed over the top but maybe they really do talk like that? So 2.5 stars
