Kickin’ It Review

   

I really enjoyed reading this book. Matt and Parker were like oil and water at first. She is a young woman who wants nothing more than to be a professional soccer player, and he is her last hope. He is an agent, and her best friend's brother. When her best friend gets Matt to give her the summer to prover herself working for him, she also talks him into letter her live in his house with her friend.
Parker tries to get him to take her on as a client by baking him cookies, but that doesn't go over well. She is hiding something from her past and doesn't trust easily. He doesn't like liars, and finds something in her bag that makes him think that she is cheating. He agrees to reprsent her, as well as, train her, since she only has a couple of weeks until her tryout.
What Parker went through was horrific, and she feels degraded. She slowly opens up to Matt and realizes that he has a soft, sweet side to him. Matt tries to keep it professional, even when his other clients/friends call him out on the lingering looks. It is a push and pull situation. Once he finally decides to give it a chance, he finds out about her past. He doesn't push her away because of her past, but because he doesn't want to be anything like someone else who hurt her.
Just when they think they might be able to have it all, her past comes back to bite them. How they deal with the situation will either make or break them. I laughed, cried, and gasped while reading this book. I really liked the side characters of his sister and teammate and would love to read a book about their relationship. I adored every page of this book. I recieved an ARC in exchange for an honest, voluntary review.
