With championship pressure mounting, gossip swirling, and hearts on the line, Tracy and Noelle must decide if breaking the rules is worth the risk, especially when the real victory might be love.

Being a soccer player (yes, I still play for a women’s league) and someone who worked in physical therapy for five years, I was so excited for this book. Unfortunately, it did not measure up to my expectations.
First of all, I felt like I knew nothing about either of the characters for most of the book. This was my biggest issue. I can get over them saying they loved each other without really knowing each other, because that’s just something that doesn’t resonate with me. However, when I know zero backstory for either main character, I can’t connect to them. Noelle is supposed to be some controversial player who gets into verbal altercations and is no longer with her former team. There was so much potential for depth with that character, but it felt really surface level for me. Same with Tracy’s character.
Another issue I had was there was not much soccer or physical therapy involved in this book. I don’t need multiple in depth treatment sessions or pages upon pages describing games, but there was just barely anything. No actual treatment, no exercises, no modalities. Tracy just wrapped Noelle’s injury up, slapped an ice pack on her, and called it a day. I would’ve loved to see some actual treatment of her (or anyone’s) injuries.
There wasn’t much depth to the side characters besides Tracy’s best friend, whom I very much enjoyed reading about. Otherwise, every other side character (maybe 4-5 of them in total) I didn’t know anything about.
What I did like about this was the struggle that Tracy faced. That, I felt, was portrayed very well. Tracy didn’t want any backlash for herself or for Noelle. The code of ethics for the American Physical Therapy Association is *very* explicit about not crossing boundaries with patients, and I could definitely feel Tracy’s struggle come to life.
I think this book had so much potential to be great, but it just fell flat for me.

3⭐ — Just Okay for Me
Collision Course by Lucy MacGregor had a promising setup—a soccer forbidden romance between players and the team’s medical staff, plus some solid LGBT rep. I loved the blurred boundaries, the boldness of going after what you want, and the way the story challenged expectations.
But for me, the characters lacked depth. Without more backstory or emotional history, it was harder to fully connect with them or feel invested in their journey. While the romance brought some tension and steam, I found myself wanting more layers to make it truly hit.
Still, if you’re in the mood for a sports romance that plays with the idea that love isn’t meant to be safe, this could be worth picking up.

There was not much depth to the characters. I feel like everything happened really fast and we didn’t really know how they got there. There was kinda no character development and no background to either charters so I didn’t really know if I should like them or not.

A touching tribute to love from the field to the P.T. treatment rooms.
Lucy Mac Gregor is obviously a talented writer with insight that allowed her to explore deeper feelings with kindness, exposing the fears many face in some work environments and public jobs. Sports players are always “on”, learn how to exist always with the public watching. Medical professionals rarely deal with the public. Rules can protect or suffocate, sometimes both. Ms. MacGregor has delightfully exposed this reality. I enjoyed this read.
