"Electric heat rippled throughout my chakras, lighting me up from within."

Ellis by Ava Pearl is the fourth book in the multi-author Bad Boys of the Summer Games series. I really loved this fast-paced, insta-love/lust story about Phaedra Campbell and Ellis Chadwick. Ellis is a BMX racing superstar who is also a smexy social media sensation. The man is 6'4" of solid muscle that can make panties melt with just one look. Phaedra is a massage therapist who is also a nutritionist and into some other things. She has been flown to Tokyo by Ben, her older brother and Ellis's coach, to work with him for the week leading up to his event. Her job is to cook nutritional and clean meals for Ellis and work with him to ensure he is able to deliver his best. After a quick introduction and then getting to observe him a bit with her brother, which is funny, she decides they will do yoga each night and then she will give him a massage before he heads back to the athlete's village. As she is staying in a room in the team trailer which is next to the course. There is an immediate attraction and electricity zapping between these two but they both know they are there for jobs, his to win Gold and her to give him what he needs to do it. That does not stop them from flirting and then it all erupts the night before his big race.....he wins big before he even gets on his bike as he gets the woman of his dreams.

Yep this was a fun filled, funny, smexy and very entertaining short story. It is well written, has a good story-line and great characters. Then there is a wonderful HEA and an even better bonus epilogue. This book is a wonderful addition to this series.

The addition starts with the book cover….yeah…yeah…yeah don’t judge a book by its cover they say ….well we all do it and this one here it is the scratch to your itch or better yet the filling to your oreos! Speaking of filling…..wait, that’s for later. Within the first chapters you get the panoramic view of whom you’re dealing with! This is book is part of the Bad Boys of the Summer Games series why just read one when you can start at the beginning and keep reading through the series it won’t be a waste of time.

The has to work together getting to know each other and fate put everything in place the chemistry is intense and the magnetic pull can’t be ignored but is it enough for her brother (Ellis coach) to understand, and is there happiness for them?

Ava Pearl joins the multi-author Bad Boys of the Summer Games series with Ellis, a super steamy instalove romance! Ellis is a week away from the final BMX bike event in the Olympics when his coach, Ben, brings in a specialized nutritionist/massage therapist/aromatherapist to assist in the final push of training. The moment Ellis meets Phaedra, his priorities suddenly shift. As much as he still wants to win, he is looking towards the rest of his life and he sees Phaedra as a huge part of it. This is a super steamy, super sweet instalove short romance with two very different yet engaging characters who have a surplus of chemistry between them!

First things first; I like the cover of this book!
Ellis is a novella in the ‘’bad boys of the summer games’’ collection. This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline enjoyable. Ellis is a BMX competitor in the Tokyo games. When his best friend/agent hires someone to help his diet he isn’t happy. That soon changes when sparks fly between him and Phaedra.
The chemistry between Ellis and Phaedra is clear to see and I liked them together.
I really liked the ending and the epilogue for this story.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read.

This is book number 4 of the Bad Boys of the Summer Games series and focuses on Ellis and Phaedra. Phaedra is hired by her brother to help Ellis for the week leading up to his big race. She is his nutritionist and massage therapist. As soon as Ellis meets Phaedra, he immediately knows that she's the one for him. Phaedra feels the same connection but they decide not to act on it while Ellis is still training for his race. They both fall hard and fast for each other and I love that there was no drama at all. This was a wonderful addition to the series and I can't wait for the next book!

Ellis is the next book in the Bad Boys of the Summer Games series and is Ellis, a BMX athlete, and Phaedra, the coach's sister. Phaedra came to the games to help Ellis center himself and be more focused on the games. Upon meeting Phaedra, Ellis felt a jolt of electricity go through his body.

Ellis is a fun fast read with sweet and steamy connection that will have your heart melting. I love how Phaedra does not let her brother stand in the way of her happiness and is there to only help Ellis. Great addition to an amazing and fun series.

Ellis is book 4 of “Bad Boys Of The Summer Games”. Ellis is a bad boy and champion USA BMX bike rider. Ellis’ coach Ben brings his sister Phaedra who is aromatherapist and yoga instructor in to help BMX biker Ellis get into shape with his eating and workout habits, mentally ready etc. Phaedra perhaps awesome meals, gives the best massages that leaves Ellis wanting more. The two are great together with flirty ways and camaraderie oh how I loved it. Phaedra is perky and is all ready to whip Ellis into shape but what neither embarked on was an instant connection and falling in love.

This is a great addition to the “Bad Boys Of The Summer Games”.

Ellis is a master with the BMX and he is coming up on his biggest race ever for Team USA. His coach, Ben, brings in his sister Phaedra, who does massage therapy, yoga, healthy cooking, etc. They are to work together for the week up to the big race, but the night before things skyrocket and are never the same again.
Love the characters and how they amaze each other with dedication, strength and caring. The Love Locks scene was especially great. Loved the ending, too, and can not wait to read more by this author.

This quite short story was fun to read. It is one of those - insta - everything stories, that manages also to be good. Some such stories miss the mark by a long shot but this story has quite a good storyline and the characters are well written. Of course as it is on the shorter side there are no sidesteps in the story but the storyline covers that very well. So as a short insta-everything story this one is quite successful and easily earns the beautiful four stars.

Loved this short story of Ellis falling hard for Phaedra. A tall handsome BMX champion who is under a lot of pressure and in walks Phaedra to help him get in top physical, mental, and relaxed in order to compete. The connection was electric and flowed so well, it was just a matter of time before these two admit their feelings. The ending was so sweet as this driven athlete and brilliant wife were so cute and treasured what is most important in life.

Morno

Não é que a história seja ruim, mas eu não curti. A gente não sabe em que país a história se passa em boa parte da história (só no final é que dá pra ter uma ideia), o cara tá se preparando para um competição há um tempão, a história gira em torno disso e, quando finalmente chega o grande dia, dá um salto de "2 dias após a competição". Cara, a gente nem vê nadinha, nem um comentário de como ele se saiu. Como assim??? Definição de frustrante. Achei a história bem rasa, não me empolgou nem um pouco.

[CJ · Rating 4 out of 5]

The author has given us a quick read that pulls us into the lives of Ellis and Phaedra and does not let go. Phaedra is tasked with helping Ellis focus and become healthy for his upcoming international competition. As soon as they touch, they feel an immediate connection but cannot do anything about it until after the competition. Will they be able to last that long?

This was a sweet novella. Ellis meets Phaedra and sparks fly. They are incredibly attracted to each other but Phaedra has a job to do, which to help Ellis at his competition. When their chemistry explodes into passion, it gets hot and steamy. I thought this story was cute and drama-free.

What a great story

Enjoyed reading this book. Ellis was a BMX Olympian and Phaedra was a massage therapist along with diet and oils. She worked with him during the Olympic races for a week or so. They ended up having feelings for each other but kept things professional. Until....Read the book it's good, you'll enjoy it. :)
