Review: Tackle

Tackle by Jacob Chance
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

"‘The heart wants what the heart wants’? There’s a reason why people quote that saying. It’s true. It doesn’t matter if you plan to avoid love. If it’s meant to be it will find you when you least expect it and make you its bitch.”

~~Before we get started with all the review excitement..

JACOB!! I NEED A CLANCY AND LEAH STORY! PLEASE TELL ME I AM GOING TO GET ONE!?!?! I love him already and BARELY know him!!!



~~ Now that that's out of the way...Moving on ~~

This series just keeps getting better! I have been excited about Trevor's story since 'Penalty' when we were first introduced to him and I knew his would be a good one. We got to see a little of his and Grace's interaction in that last book and I love the love/hate vibe they had going on and couldn't wait to dive in!
~ This one was definitely more angsty then the others so far. You had Trevor the ultimate playboy party boy Football hero and you have Grace, a women's league College football player, who is focused on her sport and her studies. I wouldn't categorize this as a Nerdy girl / Popular jock story because I don't think that really describes Grace. She was more just, emotionally closed off and not looking for any romantic entanglements of any kind.

~ To be perfectly honest, I didn't really connect with Grace all that much and that is the only reason I rated this a 4 instead of 4.5/5 stars. She was just kind of uppity and confusing. Sure Trevor has a playboy reputation and you can't blame a girl for wanting to steer clear of that, but Grace seemed to be so anti-Trevor it was kind of frustrating. Was even vehemently against being friends with him. It got to the point where she was almost mean, basically that she didn't associate with 'people like him'. I really didn't understand her whole 'Well, we are such different types of people that I think we should just have no contact beyond Hello, goodbye, and awkward hall wave'...

~ Trevor on the other hand long sigh and swoon - SOMEBODY FETCH ME A FAINTING COUCH PLEASE!!



I LOVED him.. He was such a sweet guy and he never gave up even when I kind of wanted him to because Grace was being such a bitch. He wasn't even that much of a manwhore or at least it wasn't exploited too much in the story. He was one of the most perfect book boyfriends! (the only thing was he was a little too word fancy for me to make it really believable, but I didn't mind too much)

There were definitely some aspects I though could be improved upon in the unfolding of their story, but overall I thought it was a fun, cute, swoon worthy read with just enough steam and an HEA :)
