The Sophie Fournier series by KR Collins
Honestly, I do not understand why I love the Sophie Fournier series so much, what it is about it that keeps me captivated. It’s about a sport I have zero interest in, there’s barely any romance, and yet I can’t get enough. Which is lucky as… See Jude’s review
The Clinch by Nicole Disney
Well, well, well… What a spectacular wlw sports book! I have to admit that I wasn’t convinced of reading a novel about Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighting even with the promise of a… See Gaby’s review
Kick Back by K.J.
Okay, this is another book I’m happily overrating a little. It’s definitely not perfect but what it made me feel completely warrants those 5 stars. I want to be friends with KJ’s books, they’re… See Jude’s review

Endgame by Zoe Reed
This is a lesbian young adult sports romance and I think Reed did a good job. Even when I’m much older than the MCs I can remember how I felt at 22. How sometimes you make a bold move and in the next moment you… See Sandra’s review
Catch and Cradle by Katia Rose
This is my first book by this author and it is a very good NA sports romance about a university lacrosse team in Halifax, Nova Scotia. I must admit, I had to watch a video about this sport to understand how the game works. It’s an…See Sandra’s review
Thrust by Rachel Spangler
Women with swords, do I need to say more? Probably not but I do have a lot to say about this book. I think Thrust was written for me. I love sports romances, any sports, even sports I don’t know. But fencing? Probably my… See Jude’s review
