A review by laurentalevski
The Bombshell Effect by Karla Sorensen
3.0
⭐⭐⭐ It was okay, ignoring the issues for a fun read (average not a standout)
Allie has had a wild week, her father died, she inherited a NFL team and while trying to be friendly with her new neighbours she accidental shoves cupcakes into Luke Pierson's chest. Luke, a tall, broody tattooed man, has a young daughter and is not interested in speaking to his pretty girl neighbour. Luke however is the star quarterback of the team Allie inherits and now they need to try and easy the tension even though they can not stand to be around each other. Evening hate turns to lust which turns to big love.
I enjoyed this book but it just wasn't a standout because I didn't love their connection. This has so many emotions and steam and the characters really take their time getting friendly but their sexual tension jumps of the page. I loved seeing Allie break the stereotype of her appearance and really connect with Luke's daughter in such a sweet way. Luke is so freaking grumpy so I think he just let me down at times. He really did become a sweet family man once he gets a swift kick.
Tropes: single dad, workplace romance, sports romance (NFL)
Triggers: loss of a parent, slut shaming
