4.75 ⭐️ i read the Chelsea Curto chapter & I AM SO EXCITED FOR CELESTE & GRADY’S STORY GIVE IT TO ME NOW!!

P.S. the mention of Maverick’s retirement? I fear I will not survive that at all when it happens in the DC stars series 😭😭

Rating - ⭐⭐⭐.75 (average)

Between Masks and Pitches - It was cute but ended abruptly, and I just wanted to know what happened next. 2.5/5

San Diego Iguanas - Grady was so darn cute, and his chemistry with Celeste was so electric. I loved this story; I'm hoping they get their own book so I can read it. 4/5

Striking Ours - this was my favourite. Grayson and Wren's story was everything. I loved how it had all the moments you need in a short story. I loved it. 5/5

No doubt about it - another short yet sweet story. Once again, I loved how the story gave every backstory and moment I need in a novella. 4/5

The fake match - the vibe of this one was very early 2000s movie. A classic: she mistakes his car for her cab, he ends up being a famous person, which leads to fake dating. Their chemistry was adorable. 3.5/5

Overtime in the End Zone - didn't read as this was an epilogue

Too much - again didn't read because it was an epilogue

Game plan - ooh, this story immediately went on my TBR; not only was the plot interesting, but the forbidden aspect, chemistry, and yearning left me all excited. The spice, wow. 4/5

Crossing the Line - a forbidden romance between a woman and her best friend's dad? Sign me up! This was steamy! The chemistry between the MCs was easy to read. 3.5/5

Mr Ice Guy - MM! This was a cute story; I wanted a bit more. 3.5/5

I really enjoyed it; however, a reminder that most stories are a prequel to the upcoming books by the authors.

overall rating 4⭐️

i had the best time with these adorable, funny, romantic, and sometimes even spicy shorts stories

individual rating:

between masks and pitches - 3/5 fun but left off super ambiguous for me

san diego iguanas #1 (my fav!!!) - 4/5 ahh so cute i absolutely adore chelsea’s writing and i always love her characters

striking ours - 3.5/5 loved this, grayson was absolutely smitten

no doubt about it - 3.75/5 a little force proximity with second chance, oh yes please!!! this one was so good

the fake match - 3.75/5 fake dating, tennis romance set in paris!!!!! eekk!! i might not have been the hugest fan of the writing style but i absolutely love this storyline and had the funnest time

game plan - 4/5 oh so spicy and hot, but at the same time ollie was such a sweetheart

crossing the line - 3/5

(didn’t read overtime in the end zone and too much as they are epilogues)

All In is a collection of different sports romance stories written by several authors. I really liked the idea of the book because every story focuses on a different sport and different characters. It was fun to see how each author had their own writing style and way of creating a romance.

Some of the stories were really interesting and I enjoyed the characters and the romance. However, I didn’t find every story equally interesting. Since there are so many different authors and stories, some of them just didn’t really catch my attention. Because of that, I didn’t read all of the stories and skipped some of the authors when I wasn’t interested in the storyline.

Overall, I think All In is a nice book if you like sports romance and want to try different writing styles. I wouldn’t say that every story was for me, but there were definitely some that I really enjoyed. I also liked that I could just skip a story if it wasn’t interesting to me and move on to the next one.

Rating: 3.5/5 ⭐

Read the ones I wanted to read out of this anthology and found some new-to-me authors that I will have to do some research on! The tennis one, the Chelsea Curto, and the Mollie Goins ones were my faves!!

When two of your fav authors team up with other incredible women in sports (romance) authors, you MUST READ (ps how soon can we get Grady’s story PLEASE)

[Annetra Taylor · Rating 3 out of 5]

Hard to rate an anthology but cute short sports romances. Something for everyone in the collection.

[cayley · Rating 4 out of 5]

good collection of sports romance short stories! i really enjoyed almost every single one of them and i would definitely be drawn in to read more of a few that just left off on cliffhangers!

[Kati · Rating 4 out of 5]

Hard to rate as some were a 2 and some were a 5 😉

[Nathalie González · Rating 4 out of 5]

Me encantó, I mean, there are a lot of stories I didn't know about it but I really enjoy these little novels ❤️

[Megan · Rating 3.5 out of 5]

3.5 stars on average! My favorite was of course Chelsea Curto’s story and then a few I did a little speed reading because they simply weren’t my vibe

[Kristen Novak · Rating 3 out of 5]
