Playing by Her Rules (Sydney Smoke Rugby, #1)

It's a fact that I am trash for second chance romances, and not only did I get that, but it was also a sports romance. For me, this was a twofer, which I greatly enjoyed.

Tanner and Tilly were high school sweethearts. Tilly thought she had found her forever, until Tanner betrayed her. Fast forward eight years. Tanner was now the star of the Sydney Smoke rugby team and Tilly was the reporter assigned to write a series on him.

I loved the way these two were thrust back into each other's lives. I could immediately see, that the years had not extinguished those flames. There was great banter and back and forth between these two, but what I really loved, was Tilly getting to see the man that Tanner had become. She was the one, who had been wronged, and was the one, who had many preconceived ideas about who Tanner was not. But, she was wrong. As she spent more time with him, Tilly saw that Tanner had so many beautiful layers. I liked how he was written, because he surprised me, and when he revealed something he had done for Tilly waaaay before she was back in his life, my heart melted.

I would have changed one thing about the ending, but it was minor and probably something that only bugs me. I really don't like books ending with a sex scene, but I am sure other people are ok with it. Other than that, I had great time listening to this book, and absolutely loved Tilly and Tanner's story.
