People rarely catch me off guard. I’m Collin St. James, after all, starting wide receiver for the Virginia Thunder, and playing football has kept me on my toes. But nothing could have prepared me to mentor our newest teammate, kicker Charlie Nicholson.
I wasn’t caught off guard because I had to take someone under my wing, or because Charlie was easily banging sixty-yard kicks through the uprights. It happened when the rookie’s silver helmet came off and long blonde hair spilled out. Completely baffled, I edged closer and took in the prettiest blue eyes I’d ever seen.
Charlie wasn’t only a complete knockout, she was also my younger sister’s closest friend, and when she smiled at me, I knew right then and there I was in serious trouble.
The last thing I needed was a distraction, but thanks to my gorgeous new teammate—and, to my surprise, my roommate—that was exactly what I got.
Aww! What a cute read! <—— Literally what I said, out loud, to myself, after finishing this book 😂🥰This book is just another example of what I love about every Carina Rose story I read. They are sweet and wholesome and just leave you with a happy, feel good feeling after completing her book. Falling for the Rookie gave me those same feel good feelings I’m so used to with all of her books. Falling for the Rookie was just the right level of sweet, funny and romance I desperately needed to provide a little escape from the craziness of the world today.
Charlie, our heroine, is the type of girl you can imagine just easily makes friends with anyone she meets. She is friendly, brilliant, beautiful and seemingly talented at everything she does, but is also completely humble. Collin is a dreamboat. Charlie’s dreamboat specifically, but he could make any girl fall for him! He is selfless, an incredible athlete, a great brother, and handsome.
I love the premise of this story and that Charlie has known from day one how she feels. I’m a sucker for romance and I love the idea of love at first sight. There are some trials for each person through this book and it has you cheering for them and strongly hoping things will go in the direction you want to see! I love the friends and teammates who play a role in this book and love getting to see updates of other couples I’ve fallen for earlier on in this series! This is part of a series but I think can easily be read as a standalone if you want, though of course I encourage reading them all because I loved them all! Overall, this book was just what I needed and a great installment for this series. There was love, passion, a little bit of angst, and a whole lot of hope and happiness. If you’re needing a light read like me and have a thing for a good sports romance, this is the one for you!
