Review: Game On

Game On by Nicola Marsh
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Angelica Bryant wants to play for the newly formed Australian Women's Aussie Rules Football league, until then she is working as a bartender in her father's bar and looking for a career in sports management.

Jaxon Flint is a hugely successful agent for numerous sports stars. He is sitting Angie's father's bar one night listening to a series of men trying cheesy pick up lines on her, one thing leads to another and the two of them have a one-night stand. Neither of them knows that their lives are already connected and are about to become even more entangled. But can Angie build a career in sports management when she's banging the boss? And can Jaxon watch a woman he loves play a dangerous sport?

I was enjoying this book, but it was so short (66 pages according to my Kindle) that nothing really got a chance to develop properly. Angie had issues with her father who had been a successful soccer star and had put down Aussie Rules all her life. Jaxon's sister had died in a freak ice-hockey accident. All this was brought up and then quickly dismissed. Even the ending was really abrupt. I think it needed to be a lot longer so that the characters and the plot could unfold and develop more naturally.

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.
