My favourite one in the series!

I wanted to like this book so much more than I did. It was very predictable and just fell flat for me. There were definitely some sweet moments and the author did an amazing job accurately representing the ASD community which was very refreshing to read. Overall a cute read but it didn’t make a lasting impression.

Great addition to the series with a more serious focus
This romance is great addition to the Love on the Court series. It builds on the environment and characters of the previous novels in the series but also focuses on more serious issues in society, domestic abuse and autism, and how these situations affect those closest to them. The writing is realistic and the characters well rounded. Readers feel empathy for the characters and understand their motivation. Well worth the read and great addition to the series.

All the Feels
A beautiful heartfelt read that will pull on all your heartstrings. Love Maya and Jordan’s story. I even got misty eyed while reading it. Love all the aspects of emotions that their journey to happiness took me on.
Favorite quote: Jordan ~ “All this time, he had been bobbing in an ocean, lost at sea, but not anymore. He had found his buoy. He’d found his lighthouse to guide him—he’d found her.”

Maya and Jordan can’t be more different. Jordan is the bad boy, always getting into fights inside and outside the court. Maya always play by the rules, helping in anything she can with her autistic young brother. Can they really known each other and realise that they fit together, that they can help each other face the world? A sweet story.

I really enjoyed the book, characters, plot, all of it. But I bought the “box set” on my kindle and in the last book there were several duplicates of chapters.. so I’m not sure how that happened but 🤷🏼♀️ so I had to flip through the chapter after already reading it, it was very confusing the first time it happened😂

Resisting the Bad Boy was a fun, quick read. I loved Jordan and his character growth! I wasn’t a huge fan of Maya as I really couldn’t relate to her and her personality, but her and Jordan were cute together. I liked how Tia Souders incorporated autism into the book.

Way, way better then expected. Of course we New her from the other stories. And boy did I hate her. So I was reluctant to read this one. But she was so much more sweet and caring. In fact she was like a totally different character. They ended up being great together.

Perfect Pair
Overall, great story. Jordan was easy to love. We had been waiting for Maya’s HEA and Jordan was the perfect match!
Different from the other two. This story was heavier, dealing with hard topics (some triggers).
