My review for Personal Foul by Brooke O'Brien. I do plan on reading the rest of the stories soon! I'm a big sports romance fan, so I was so excited when I sat down and read Personal Foul. This story pulled me in from the start. Carson is definitely the perfect addition to the book boyfriend list. He really tugged on my heartstrings and made me smile. I loved how he was with Sydney and how dedicated he was to his career. Sydney annoyed me a bit at the beginning if I'm honest, but after learning more about her I really understood why! Trusting isn't easy, but it was interesting to see her let Carson in step for step. I really ended up enjoying her character. Add an amazing romance that made me laugh, get frustrated and just hoping they would get there happily ever after. That she's the coach's daughter is only a tiny detail. If you love sports romances, this story is really for you!!
