I was hooked after reading the first page. The author kept my attention throughout the entire book. Bryn was my favorite character. I was cheering from the "Sideline" for her to take a chance on love with Shane Smith, hoping that the outcome would not be typical.
I felt her every emotion in each chapter. I am a fan for sure. Mar 04, Ty Jones rated it really liked it. It was definitely a page-turner and kept me engrossed throughout: friendship, love, business. The descriptive writing allowed for clear, vivid images as I read. I like the way some of Baltimore's landmarks were included in regards to the setting. It had a twist in the end, which I figured was coming, but it leads perfectly Football players are one of my soft spot Enemies to lovers is my catnip This had potential but this book has underdeveloped characters Plott is cute but there is something that makes it did work Nice read Arc of by Netgalley For Richer Or Poorer by Charlene Namdhari.
Nov 19, K. Simmill rated it really liked it. She's never been much for jocks, but there is no denying that Shane has a body to die for, and Jen, Bryn's friend, has hooked designer Oris Odili and intends to ensure he knows exactly how to show off all of his best features. Shane seems to find himself drawn towards Bryn, his advances becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. But dating an athlete is Single mother, Bryn Charles can't believe her luck when she signs Shane Smith, Nighthawk player and NFL superstar, to organise a kick as event.
But dating an athlete is way down there on Bryn's list, besides when he's not flirting he's yelling, cursing, or acting like a spoilt rich kid. A relationship with the pompous man was the furthest thing from her mind. Then it happened, she found herself and Jen in his room, in his bed.
Although it was innocent enough, Bryn couldn't forget the image of him removing his shirt, from that moment on this picture ran like a sporting event replay. Just when it seems she's about to win, there comes a game changer, one that may leave her forever on the sideline. Sidelined by Bianca Williams is a page turning, stress filled, romance, with tries, fouls, and of course goals, or in this case perhaps agendas would be more to the point.
Written in the present tense it follows Bryn and her surprising infatuation with NLA superstar Shane Smith, a spoilt man child. Heavily character driven and easy to follow whether your a fan of sports or not. The characters are developed, and I often found myself getting frustrated at some of their actions. Ms Williams shows poise and talent for creating atmosphere throughout her plot. This is the first book in the series, and given the ending it's easy to understand why.

Do you risk it all for a forbidden attraction? This was such a frustrating read for me, but as soon as I find another book by Bianca Williams I will mor Is mixing business with pleasure ever a good thing?
This was such a frustrating read for me, but as soon as I find another book by Bianca Williams I will more than likely read it. Because she is a very talented writer and I will tell you the reasons I feel this way. First, romance novels are hit or miss with me. This novel is not action-packed or filled with drama, but is more of a character study. As I am a single mother who is trying to live her dreams outside of her day job, I had no trouble understanding Bryn and what made her tick.
Even without the event planning business, she had done well for herself and her daughter and they lived a good life, as uneventful as it was, which is probably part of what made it good. Somehow, despite all of the business-savvy and life experience that Bryn had acquired, she still fell for him. It drove me crazy because in every scene where the thought crossed her mind about becoming romantically involved with Shane I wanted to throw my tablet across the room and scream at her.
I knew Shane, not only by the way the author described him, but because he literally exists. As frustrated as I was reading it, I had to take a step back and remember that this is fiction inspired by true events. The author did such a good job making the story real, that I forgot that it is fiction. The delivery of each sentence was smooth, which made everything flow. Nobody was perfect in this book, which I liked. I give this a 4 out of 5 stars. This book is a page turner!
It kept me wondering where the story was going next! It's the perfect beach read! Fun, funny, and entertaining! This was a page turner I enjoyed it and being from Baltimore I enjoyed all the relatable details, they took me back to that time. Very well written. I enjoyed getting to know each one of the characters and am looking forward to parts 2 and 3. I wonder whats true and whats not. Can't wait for the 2nd book. Took it to Cabo for a beach vacay and finished it in 2 days.
Hope that 2 and 3 get reased together so I can just binge over a weekend to see if they ever get it right. Nobody likes injury. First, it hurts. Second, it means you need to take time out in order to heal. Literature Editorial Reviews. The love interest is introduced on the first page, and things only get hotter from there until the thoroughly satisfying conclusion.
Prose: The major weakness of this novel is the prose—and this is because of the author's use of present tense narration. For this book, third person narration would have been a better choice and would have made the prose more fluid.
Originality: While sports romances are a popular subgenre, this book rises above the rest with its clear knowledge of football and use of all the right details.
Character Development: The narrator is relatable and fun, and readers get to know her very well over the course of the book. Even the less likable characters are well-drawn and fully formed individuals with lives of their own. Need Some Help? Contact Us.
