The Pickup

Nikki Ash — 2019

Somebody once said we don't decide who we love. The world decides for us. But I disagree.I believe love is a decision.Who we love, how we love.It's in our control--in our hands.I grew up having no clue about the true meaning of love. Money. Cars. Houses. Status. Fame. That's what love means to the people around me.It wasn't until the woman I picked up in a bar came back into my life and showed me love can be so much more.So, what's the problem?The woman I'm falling in love with believes in fairytales. She compares everything to a storybook and wants the happily-ever-after.So while she's stuck on recreating stories that have already been told, page by page, I'm showing her it's time we write our own book.Nobody ever said the journey of falling in love would be easy, just that it would be worth it. *The Pickup is a standalone sports romance*

3.5 stars. I quite liked this story. It had a lot of fairytale romance, as well as a good dose of drama. Nick was solid and Liv was extremely likeable, as was Killian and Giselle. The problem I had with this book was it so rushed. There were quite a few info dumps and the drama wasn’t allowed time to develop, instead it peaked and was resolved often within a page or two. I just wanted what was happening to take a deep and chill out a bit. But, like I said, it was a solid story. If you can get over the pacing it could be quite enjoyable.
