This was fantastic. I came to really love Buzz in the last book and he is fantastic as the hero of his own. He was hilarious and kind and caring and a big old softie. He's a total romantic and it was awesome AF. The book club with the old ladies in the retirement home and his mum and brother? Freaking hell. Sara Ney is trying to kill us. Clearly. Seeing into Buzz's mind was a whole experience and it was hilarious. Hollis wasn't bad - I didn't really get why she was so hesitant to date him - I mean really??? I liked that the hesitancy was the main complication of the book rather than anything more extreme - it meant that this was just a really happy read and I loved it - it was just what I was after. The romance between them was majorly swoonworthy and Buzz is a total book boyfriend package. The rivalry between Tripp and Trace was hysterical. And his mum! Good old Gen. She was fantastic. Her meddling had me giggling. Overall this was just perfect. A new favourite book for sure. 5 stars.
Trace "Buzz" has the reputation of the teams playboy and that he is always goofing around. Hollis is sick of her father treating her like she does not matter and after a bad decision with a baseball player she has sworn them off. Buzz runs into Hollis when she ends up on the wrong floor at the stadium and feels a connection with her he has never felt before but she pushes him away. When he rescues her from her ex at a benefit he makes it his goal to make her see that not all baseball players are the same. Hard Fall is the second book in the Trophy Boyfriends series.
Hard Fall had me laughing out loud throughout most of the book. I loved the growth of Buzz and Hollis' relationship and the banter between them was so funny. Sara Ney did a great job of proving the saying "You shouldn't judge a book by it's cover" and that not everything is how it seem. Hollis had her perception of who Buzz was but he proved her wrong at every new interaction between them. I can not wait for the next book in the Trophy Boyfriends series.
"Am I imagining it, or did she just shiver when I said her name? She can't be cold; she's wearing pants." - Trace "Buzz" Wallace, Hard Fall by Sara Ney
