A review by ezichinny
The Athlete by Elin Peer
4.0
I am only rating this book this high because of Emanuela. I loved her as a heroine. I have disliked Hunter for a couple of books now but in his own book, his heroine Ema gave him all he could handle. She didn't cut him any slack despite her attraction to him.
Ema forced Hunter to deal with many stereotypes he has of women both as athletes and as leaders. She wasn't the stereotypical mothlander as she was combative and blunt in speech. I did like their progression from enemies to lovers.
I especially loved the author's "reflective" look back and discussion on whales, the man that landed on the moon etc. It's interesting to see how we judge past societies and think about how we will be judged.
I don't hate Hunter anymore but he didn't suffer that much. He has his twin back and now his new love Emanuela. All in all, I was satisfied at the end.
