Sunny Shelly’s Review: How To Score Off-Field by Sara Ney

HOW TO SCORE OFF FIELD

Sara Ney

Release Date: September 15

FREE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

I, Drew Colter, have a confession to make…I’m burnt out and need a break.

From school, from football—from living with roommates, my obnoxious twin brother and our older brothers girlfriend. The only person who I can talk to these days is my best friend from high school, and he’s back in our hometown and halfway across the country. Somehow he convinces me that maybe…

…Maybe it’s time to take a trip. Party. Have some fun.

That fun does not include his sister.

Long black hair and even longer legs, Tess Donahue had lost the braces and gained the confidence she never had as a teenager. She’s hilarious, pretty—and when I see her in those cowboy boots?

Whoa.

Stolen glances. Flirty banter. One drunk filled night.

Suddenly, my uncomplicated weekend of ‘living a little’ in my hometown becomes a lifetime being tied to the one girl that was off limits.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 3.5 Stars
How To Score Off Field by Sara Ney wraps up the stories about those hunky Colter brothers. Finally, sweet, sensitive Drew gets his shot at love… or something like it?… with Tess, the younger sister of his childhood best friend.

Tess has had a crush on Drew since she was about 10, but he never noticed her as anything other than Grady’s little sister. That is, until he goes home one weekend to visit Grady, get away from the pressures he’s feeling at college, and starts to see Tess in a whole new light. They have a one-night stand that weekend, and despite the distance between their respective colleges (she back home in Texas, he in Wisconsin), they keep up a flirty banger through text messages and video chats. But then… things go south.

I have some mixed feelings about this book. I really liked Drew and Tess and thought they had a great connection. And I loved getting to know them as they got to know each other through their chats after their Weekend of Fun. The romantic in me LOVED Drew’s confession/apology for not “seeing” Tessa when they were younger. I loved how Tessa’s diary entries from when she was a teenager were interspersed throughout the chapters.

But when The Thing happens, I felt that parts of the story fell apart a bit. So much of it happened off-page, and I wish I got to see it take place on the page between them. Not to mention that Grady’s behavior was appalling.

While the story ends with a HFN between Drew and Tess, but I thought there were too many loose ends. What happened with Drew and Grady? Did Drew ever come to a decision about his future? Did Tessa forgive her brother?

Overall, How To Score Off Field was enjoyable, but it wasn’t my favorite in the series. For the endcap on a series, I wanted more from the story. And maybe an epilogue in the future that shows the Colter brothers all together so we know where their lives went. Am I glad I read it? Absolutely. It’s an emotional story with some sweet and tender moments, and I really enjoyed seeing Drew and Tessa navigate the obstacles thrown at them and come out the other side, together.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
