A review by doseofromance
Rough and Tumble by Shae Connor

3.0

I received this free ebook in exchange for an honest review. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Overall I liked the book though it was a bit light on the romance for me. Because of the focus on Darryn's abusive relationship that works for the storyline though.
For me there was on thing that bothered me the whole book. Apparently Darryn knew for some time that Grant was gay and in turn knew for a while that he himself was bisexual and had a crush on Grant. It also seemed like Darryn knew that Grant had a crush on him. But why didn't Darryn approach Grant then? I was very confused by this because the only reason they aren't together from the start seems to be that Grant didn't know Darryn was even into men. I don't know why this bothered me so much but I couldn't get over it enough to fully enjoy the book.
Otherwise I can say it's a good sporty college romance though I do recommend checking in with yourself about abusive relationships. If this could trigger you at all maybe skip this one. It is a prominent theme.
