Pages : 1032 pages

Note:

Avant de vous donner mon avis , je tiens à dire un grand merci à Sarah de Social Butterfly Pr pour m'avoir permis de lire cette anthologie en ARC

Mon avis : Au départ, j'avais cru que je lirais une romance de LJ Shen que j'ai découvert en VF avec Vicious mais j'ai ensuite compris que cette romance faisait partie de cette anthologie où la romance sportive est mise à l'honneur par le biais de 11 nouvelles écrites par 11 auteurs. Chaque nouvelle fait environ 100 pages et met à l'honneur un sport et un héros ou une héroïne. J'ai passé un bon moment dans l'ensemble et j'ai adoré certaines nouvelles

The End Zone de LJ Shen 

Jolie et Sage se sont connus dès l'enfance à un moment critique pour l'un d'entre eux. Leur lien est indéfectible et leur amitié magnifique mais la ligne entre l'amour et l'amitié est de plus en plus floue. c'est une romance sympa sur un thème déjà lu maintes fois donc on retrouve la même dynamique et j'ai souvent eu envie de baffer Sage qui est un sérial baiseur arrogant incapable de mettre un nom sur les sentiments profonds qu'il éprouve pour Jolie. On espère qu'il réfléchira avec son cerveau pour une fois et qu'au jeu de la fausse petite amie il ne risque pas de tout perdre. 

Slapped in Love de Rachelle Paige

Je découvre la plume de cette auteur avec cette nouvelle assez sympa dans le milieu de la glisse. Tamara est une championne olympique de vitesse sur glace et quand elle apporte son aide à une équipe d'hockeyeurs, elle va devoir faire face à Ryan. L'attirance sera bien réelle et on espère qu'ils sauront trouver un terrain d'entente sans gâcher leur carrière mutuelle. 

Full Court Presse de Kennedy Ryan 

De nouveau je découvre la plume de l'auteur qui nous emmène dans l'univers de la NBA avec Decker et Avery une journaliste. Deck est un arrogant charmeur qui joue sur son succès auprès des filles et quand ils se retrouvent 10 ans plus tard, ils vont devoir laisser leur passé de côté s'ils veulent aller de l'avant. Avery n'aura d'autre choix que de travailler avec lui. J'ai adoré cette nouvelle car j'ai ressenti la détresse de Deck et Shea mais aussi celle d'Avery et de Will. Tous les deux portent un fardeau qui pourraient les empêcher de vivre pleinement leur amour. 

Out of Formation d'Ella Fox

L'amour est de nouveau au rendez vous de cette romance où Colin et Elena vont devoir affronter les questions qu'ils ont laissé en suspens pour aller de l'avant. Pour une fois Colin n'est pas un sportif arrogant mais un coach et il vient remplacer un ancien coach qui a fauté avec un membre de l'équipe. Autant donc vous dire que le moment n'est pas venu pour Colin et Elena de raviver la flamme. Ils se connaissent depuis longtemps et il l'a aidé à affronter une épreuve terrible mais pourront ils renouer après l'échec de leur première tentative? Le risque vaut il le coup d'être pris? 

Sweeping the series de Kate Stewart

Une nouvelle plume que je découvre avec cette nouvelle sportive. Ren joue au baseball et il a une sacrée image publique. Il multiplie les coups d'un soir et une agence de relations publiques va devoir remettre le playboy sur le droit chemin. C'est ainsi qu'entre en scène Erica et la tension est palpable entre eux car ils se connaissent et ont vécu une histoire. Mais un retournement inattendu va mettre le feu aux poudres et pourrait bien faire exploser une situation déjà très délicate. J'ai passé un bon moment avec cette romance électrique. 

Back in the Game de Meghann Quinn 

J'ai tout simplement adoré la douceur qui se dégage de cette romance car nous n'avons pas de joueur arrogant . Calden est un jeune homme posé avec des responsabilités qu'il assume pleinement et c'est juste superbe de pouvoir lire une romance douce et assez simple qui envoie du rêve. Rachel est une jeune femme tout aussi posée que Calden et qui va peu à peu entrer dans le monde du hockey mais saura t-elle trouver sa place dans cette famille déjà composée? 

Yard Sale de Charleigh Rose

C'est une des nouvelles que je n'ai malheureusement pas apprécié car Cam est un snowboarder qui va passer une nuit folle avec Mollie et la conséquence est évidente . Je n'ai pas réussi à m'attacher à ses personnages qui sont restés pour ma part trop superficiels . 

Sin Bin de Mandy Beck

La romance suit la même thématique que la précédente et les choses vont bien trop vite pour Stella , une athlète blessée et Jason. Nous ne sommes pas dans la demie mesure et je n'ai pas été convaincue.

One Good Man d'Emma Scott

Une nouvelle qui se passe à Paris , dans les années 70 et qui met la lumière sur le football mais le sport n'est pas uniquement au coeur de cette nouvelle très intéressante. Nous n'avons pas de scènes de sexe à outrance et la relation que vont mettre en route Janelle et Adrian fait plaisir . Le contexte politique et la notion de destinée est aussi importantes. L'histoire a su me toucher par ses personnages, par ce qu'ils vivent et ce qu'ils nous font ressentir. 

Switch Hitter de Sara Ney

On termine avec une douce romance où Amélia va devoir venir en aide à sa soeur Lucy d'une drôle de façon. On y découvre aussi Dash, un jeune homme sympathique, pas arrogant et délicat et cela fait du bien. La supercherie pourrait bien mener à des quiproquos qui pourraient entacher un bonheur à portée de main. J'ai donc fortement apprécié cette douce lecture et on a envie de voir un happy end à la fin

Adriana Locke:
  A contemporary romance author running on coffee and sticky kisses from my rowdy four little boys. From Indiana, I’m a true Mid-Westerner. Life, for me, is about family, faith, and food. When I’m not running my kiddos around or having a lunch date of fajitas with my husband (and high school sweetheart), you can find me outside.

Please find me on the ones you frequent – I love chatting with readers.

Mandi Beck:
Mandi Beck has been an avid reader all of her life. A deep love for books always had her jotting down little stories on napkins, notebooks, and her hand. As an adult she was further submerged into the book world through book clubs and the epicness of social media. It was then that she graduated to writing her stories on her phone and then finally on a proper computer. A nursing student, mother to two rambunctious and somewhat rotten boys, and stepmom to two great girls away at college, she shares her time with her husband in Chicago where she was born and raised. Mandi is a diehard hockey fan and blames the Blackhawks when her deadlines are not met.

Emma Scott:
I write romances with flawed characters, characters with artistic hearts: builders, poets, and writers of various makes and models. I love to write book lovers; those who have found refuge, companionship, and escape in books, much as we do in real life. I like realism, honesty, authenticity in storytelling. I love to write about enduring love, soul-deep love, in as real a setting as I can make, but with big smooshy HEAs. I believe in diversity, open-mindedness, and inclusion. I like sweetness mixed with steam, love conquering all, and above all, hope. Love always wins.

When she’s not writing, Ella indulges the gypsy in her blood and travels the country. Ella loves reading, movies, music, buying make-up, reading Tmz, Twitter and pedicures… not necessarily in that order. She has a wild sense of humor and loves to laugh. Her favorite thing in the world is hanging out with her family and watching comedy movies.

Meghan Quinn:
A BLONDE AT HEART Born in New York and raised in Southern California, Meghan has grown into a sassy, peanut butter eating, blonde haired swearing, animal hoarding lady. She is known to bust out and dance if “It’s Raining Men” starts beating through the air and heaven forbid you get a margarita in her, protect your legs because they may be humped. Once she started commuting for an hour and twenty minutes every day to work for three years, she began to have conversations play in her head, real life, deep male voices and dainty lady coos kind of conversations. Perturbed and confused, she decided to either see a therapist about the hot and steamy voices running through her head or start writing them down. She decided to go with the cheaper option and started writing… enter her first novel, Caught Looking. ​Now you can find the spicy, most definitely on the border of lunacy, kind of crazy lady residing in Colorado with the love of her life and her five, furry four legged children, hiking a trail or hiding behind shelves at grocery stores, wondering what kind of lube the nervous stranger will bring home to his wife. Oh and she loves a good boob squeeze!

Kate Stewart:
Kate Stewart lives in Charleston, S.C. with her husband, Nick, and her naughty beagle, Sadie. A native of Dallas, Kate moved to Charleston three weeks after her first visit, dropping her career of 8 years, and declaring it her creative muse. Kate pens messy, sexy, angst-filled contemporary romance as well as romantic comedy and erotic suspense because it's what she loves as a reader. A lover of all things '80s and '90s, especially John Hughes films and rap, she dabbles a little in photography, can knit a simple stitch scarf for necessity only and does a horrible job of playing the ukulele. Aside from running a mile without collapsing, traveling is the only other must on her bucket list. On occasion, she does very well at vodka.
