Let me start by saying I'm not a big fan of sports romance, BUT, I have read and enjoyed other books by this author so, I'm in. this book is written in first person, alternating point of view format, not my favorite but it totally works in this book. The Play is an exciting sports romance by J.H. Croix. Ms. Croix has delivered a well-written book. I loved the characters in this story! Professional soccer player Liam is injured and the team doctor insists on the best for his surgery. Olivia is the doctor that does the surgery on Liam's leg. Olivia and Liam's story is packed with drama, humor, sizzle and misunderstandings. I enjoyed reading The Play and look forward to reading more from J.H. Croix in the future. The Play is book 1 of the Brit Boys Sports Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.

Wow ! Ms. Cooke does it again what a fantastic read.We loved Hawk's story from beginning to end.I am so glad we got to hear Hawk's story as he was one of the most elusive members of the series who kept himself and his life outside private.

We loved Hawk in this story and you could say even that he was a bit of a hero for all the sacrifices that he made for his club and for all those he loved.I loved the fact that we saw a totally different side of Hawk this time around we saw him and a protector and provider and deep down a man capable of loving with his whole heart even if it was broken a time or too.

There was know doubt that Hawk could be dark and dangerous but, he was capable of so much more and we are just wondering if just one of the women he loved suck around his life might have been so much different.

We found Hawk to be smart and cunning as well and if Doc Marshall was not in charge he would have no problem seeing to that club of his in his own right.I got to say we never realized the extent Hawk went to too protect Doc Marshall and his club making great sacrifices to himself while pretty boy Marshall just skated through life while everybody else paid the price for all of his bad choices.

Overall we just loved the story from cover it was intriguing and heartfelt and we loved seeing that Hawk although down right dangerous was capable of compassion and forgiveness and we just loved his protectiveness of those he loved.Despite the life he lead he did have people he loved and loved him back.Hawk's story was not all hearts and flowers and it was a bit dark but, one thing was sure the darkness that he carried within him never consumed him or it.

I think we have not heard the last of Hawk as I am waiting to see what impact he has on Lion's life and that of the mysterious daughter of his...
