Author: Amy Andrews
Genre: Romance
Blurb: How to mend a broken heart…Darcy Clarke would do anything to play for the new Women’s Aussie Rules league, even put up with her ex, Tony, who just happens to be the coach of the Brisbane Banshees. Tony stomped out of their apartment – and all over heart – two years ago, but she’s moved on, and she deserves her jersey.
As his best friend’s girl, Darcy has always been out of Levi’s reach, even after Tony dropped her and moved out of the apartment they all shared. Now, two years on and still sharing the same apartment, she should be fair game. But Levi is no closer to getting Darcy to think of him as anything but a roommate and a friend.
But when Darcy injures herself in play, Levi’s qualifications as a sports massage therapist are put to good use. Suddenly, their relationship becomes very hands on, and Darcy sees a whole new side of her old friend. A pity he seems immune to her charms. When Tony makes it clear he wants back into her life, she has a decision to make: between the man she once loved and the man who never left her side.
Favorite quote(s)/excerpt(s): Christ, if she wanted d$@k, she could have his. God knew, it was hard as a freaking rock at the moment. Granted it wasn’t bright pink. Or as big. But it was flesh and blood. It was real. And he knew what to do with it.
Thoughts: It’s always interesting to read a book with strong, physical female sports figures, and this one added one of my favorite troupe’s – friends to lovers. Levi has a had a thing for Darcy for forever, but for the majority of it she was his best friend’s girl…then his ex-best friend’s girl……and then he got placed in the ‘friend zone’. What’s a guy to do? But with the dreaded ex lurking back on the horizon again, Levi has the push he needs to make their relationship more. As we all know, it’s not that easy to switch from friends to lovers….at least not without losing your friend in the process. Overall a pretty god friends-to-lovers book, particularly if you’re a fan of sports themed books.
