What a fabulous series this is. Without fail, each book in the series grabs at you and sucks you into the characters and their path to true love.
Scott and Tessa are frenemies, definitely abrasive toward each other, as evidenced by their inability to spend any time together. Yet, when Tessa is forced to approach Scott as a sports expert, she finds that she was definitely selling him short. He has a lot more depth under the surface than she imagined, especially in how he looks at women in sports and elevating their status in the public.
As it turns out, Scott has an ask as well. He has secretly fantasized over one of the women who works with him, but she continues to friend zone him. He asks Tessa for her expertise in making him over into the perfect boyfriend. Scott does become the perfect boyfriend, but will his goals still remain the same when the dust settles and he gets what he’s aiming for?
The story flows well as the two characters get under the surface and biblical, despite their continued protests. Can this end with a happy ending, since they’ve always had different goals? A great read that I highly recommend.
Grade: A
Summary:
Tessa Harper, makeover queen of a self-care media empire, loves a challenge. But when she’s forced to satisfy her female readership’s growing interest in sports, Tessa reluctantly seeks out Ford Maddox. The popular sportscaster, annoying friend of her bestie, and long-time sparring partner agrees to strike a deal. He’ll give Tessa his expertise if she’ll give him hers. Namely a makeover to help him get past the friend zone with the woman of his dreams.
Ford has always considered Tessa to be nothing more than a pampered elitist. But if she can turn his rough style and attitude into boyfriend material, it’s worth the aggravation. The plan is working. The problem is, Ford’s also starting to see Tessa in a new light. And there’s more to the complicated woman than meets the eye.
Ford is falling hard. But is he ready to give up his ideal love to take a chance on an opinionated, independent spitfire who’s turning his life—and his heart—upside down?
