Swagger (Milwaukee Dragons, #2)

Rating: 3.5 Stars

Sports romances are among my favorites. Therefore, seeing the second Dragons book was going to feature a STEM heroine had me really excited.

• Pro: Marcus had everything I look for in a hero, and won me over immediately. I especially loved it, when he would go through his memory index to try and figure out what he did wrong, and the way he attempted to curb his hero tendencies in order to respect Bree's desires to "save" herself. And bonus! He was a closest nerd, who engaged Bree in quite the Star Wars - Star Trek debate.

• Pro: I liked the common ground that Lincoln laid down between Marcus and Bree. They were both rather successful, but not in the eyes of their families, which was really sad. At least they had each other.

• Con: The ending was ok, but I would have liked a little more for these two. I really, really liked Marcus, and he deserved more. The good news is, that this is a series, and we can always get some awesome life update on Marcus and Bree in a later book.

• Con: I was a little surprised that the couple from the first book were so far removed from this story. Usually there is more of a connection between the current and previous MCs. I think I let out an exhale, when we finally got a mention of them. I just expect more updates on past couples in companion books.

• Pro: The set up was great. Most of this sports romance took place off the field, because Marcus was recovering from an injury, but Marcus' "fragile" state worked well in the story, and made it more believable.

• Pro: Marcus and Bree were a fun coupling. The chemistry was great, and each brought out the best side of the other. I really enjoyed watching their romance blossom.

Overall: If you're in it for the romance, you will enjoy this one, because there is no doubt in my mind, Marcus will win your heart.
