Oh, who doesn't love sport romance at all? Well, I definitely love to read sport romance because it has so much intensity between characters that it makes the read so much interesting. Sara Rider has written a sport romance series, The Perfect Play series, that will introduce new character in the sport industry specifically soccer athletic. In the first book in the Perfect Play series, reader will get to read about Gabe and Lainey in the soccer world in For the Win. Lainey is the team captain for the women soccer team that she is determined to put her team on the top in the sport industry. But she is having trouble promoting her team in the spotlight because she does not know how to act with the public eye and especially Gabe influences. Lainey definitely do not like Gabe at all because he is a terrible influence and he is too cocky for his own self that it only infuriates her more. But Lainey is attractive to him but she is trying to ignore it since she is vulnerable but hides it well from others. Gabe is sexy yet cocky soccer player but he gets more and more intrigued with Lainey. He has always gets want he wants and when he wants but Lainey will not give him the time or day that she becomes more attractive to him. Gabe is struggling to get through to Lainey because she is making him work for it that I definitely applaud her for that. But Gabe is determined to find more and more about Lainey so he can get through to him which I enjoy too. Gabe and Lainey are total opposite from each other that it makes no sense for them to be together but they are fire and out together. Their relationship is definitely explosive that I root for them to make it together! For the Win is another fantastic sport romance that it makes the read so much heartwarming! Five Stars.

It caught my attention on NetGalley and when I read the synopsis, it sounded like my type of read. I wasn't wrong. I really enjoyed this book! I adored Lainey. She was so different from most of the women you find in books these days. She was spunky and dedicated to her sport, being the best she can possibly be. She also worked for her uncle doing roofing. I have a thing for blue collar workers in books and I loved that it was the woman, and not the man, who was doing that here. Gabe was swoony and sexy and I loved the rivalry between these two. Their chemistry was great, their banter terrific. The dynamic was especially interesting because Lainey had a crush on Gabe when she was younger, but now that he's competition, there's some serious animosity. (And still an attraction.) It was fun watching this play out and I appreciated everything they each brought to the story. I also found myself wanting to know more about the secondary characters, so naturally I'm waiting for the series to continue and for them to get their own stories. I thought this was a great debut. It was a quick and sexy read with characters that I found it pretty easy to root for – on and off the field. I do love me an antagonistic romance and I really enjoy seeing strong women in books. This one ticked so many boxes for me. I'm looking forward to seeing what Sara gives us next! I received a copy of this book from the publisher, via NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review. FAVORITE QUOTES "Everyone deserves love. Everyone wants to be swept off their feet by the person who promises to cherish and support them forever."
