My breath hitches as I take her in. I didn’t appreciate her before at the table, but this close, it’s as if someone created everything I love in a woman: tall, blonde, heart-shaped face, sapphire eyes, luscious tits. Toss in the costume . . .

Nova is not happy to learn that her new neighbor is none other than Ronan Smith and he doesn’t remember her. The local boosters are determined to get Ronan married to a local girl to keep him in town after his first winning season. Nova is not happy to see the multitude of local girls at the house next door. I love kissing you. Each time is different,” I murmur as our breaths mingle. “Now get your sweet ass on the edge of the table so I can eat your p*ssy.” Beauty and the Baller was entertaining, sexy, and sweet. It had fun, playful banter throughout the story that had me grinning and rooting for Nova and Ronan to get together. I had a fantastic time reading it.This story started with a Star Wars reference and I was all in. As a huge fan, I was thrilled how they popped up throughout the story as well. There was a great build and I loved the development of Nova and Ronan’s relationship, all the ups and downs, and Ronan getting to his moment where he figured everything out. It pulled at my heartstrings and put a smile on my face all at the same time. I loved the different characters and adored Nova’s relationship with her sister. I liked th Overall Pace of Story: Alright. I never skimmed and I thought it flowed well for the most part with some slower parts.

She takes both of my hands in hers, and the touch sends a buzz of awareness racing over my skin. I didn’t expect that. The Story: Nova and Ronan end up having a one night stand after meeting at the costume party. Though Ronan has been drinking and is still suffering grief from the loss of his fiancé and his football career and the night doesn’t go as Nova had hoped. Ronans and Novas chemistry was really good and I liked the banter between them. I loved the build up for the relationship, it felt right and not to fast paced.

Part 2: Beauty And The Baller Book Review

Heat level: Good. They have some good tension, chemistry, and scenes -- but not so much it takes away from the story. This is what I would call a slow burn (even though they have a ONS at the beginning), because they take until ~65% in my kindle app to be intimate again. THE JP SCENES 😈. I loooove OMD scenes 💅, especially when the OM really wants the h. in this case, it’s her ex, Andrew, and it really makes Ronan wake up LOL. I stare at the table as his words ping-pong around in my head. He’s not wrong. I’m in a dark place, a pit of hell, and I crave to crawl out. Some days it feels as if there’s nothing left inside of me. No spark. No hope. No joy. This one has witty characters, great banter, strong FMC, fake dating, football coach and a PA relationship, a little angst when they met each other again, lovely side characters except some nosy neighbourhood lady, healing, and grief and a heartwarming and sweet couple and some fluff and hilarious moments and they both were neighbours. NEIGHBOURS!!!!! With a heavy exhale, I loosen my tie and swivel in my seat and peer around various players. I focus in on the girl about twenty feet away and inhale as I get the full effect.

I really liked how the relationship between Ronan and Nova progressed in this one. There is animosity between them at first when they meet again in Texas, then they become reluctant friends, and then share a secret and help each other becoming even closer. This was a sweet and funny and adorable footbally small town love story with some very sad & emotional parts thrown in. I really loved reading this. When I wake up, my head is stuffed with cotton balls. Sunlight glints in through the blinds, and I rub at the grit in my eyes. Tensing, I turn to look at the pillow next to me. There’s no one there, not even an indentation. The room is dead quiet except for the blaring horns from the traffic outside. A heavy feeling settles in my chest, and I can’t decide if I’m relieved or disappointed she left. I rake my hands through my hair, frowning, as I try to piece the night together. It might take a while. Beauty is how we go on, the life we create around us. Living a life that’s meaningful. I’m not sure I’m there, to be honest. I’m trying hard. We all are. I know that coming home was good for me, even though the reason is sad."Sigh. When I got to the end, I didn’t want it to end (I love that the audiobook was free to listen to through KU). Maybe I’m being biased because I love Star Wars (my daughter’s middle name is Leia) and there were many references to it LOL. But I enjoyed reading this. My lips twitch. “To save the universe. And stuff like that.” I glance around the room. “Can I escort you somewhere?” Finally, the side storyline with Skeeter and Sonia also didn’t do it for me! Skeeter was such a clueless ditz who had to be told what to do with Sonia the entire time. Seriously, Sonia deserves so much better she just doesn’t see her own self worth. Those two will definitely not last. Obviously I don’t want to spoil anything, but if you like love after loss, sweet small towns with nosy neighbors, sweet as strawberry jam sibling relationships, not so fake faking dating, and a love story that’s not easy going, but definitely worth it, then you’ll LOVE Beauty and the Baller!

What I’m trying to say is that this book might not have the best romantic plot, or the most original, but the overall story was so full of good things which really compensated for it. it's time for me to throw in the towel, unfortunately. i made it to about seventy-percent and then … yeah. i just could not, for the life of me, continue. I know you don’t know me, but I think she’s incredible. Smart. She helps me with my history. I know she doesn’t like to touch her eraser and that the fire alarm makes her jittery. She rubs her ring when she gets anxious. She doesn’t always get what people say, and I like that about her. She’s not like other girls. She says what she thinks, too, and there’s no pretending.”I loved how they comunicated with songs, how Ronan profesed his love while singing their song😭😭 my heart couldn't take it. I nudge my nose against hers softly, then give her tender kisses as our scents mingle, my whiskey with her sweetness. I tell her she’s perfect, that she’s safe with me, that she’s mine. “And I’m going to eat you up,” I purr.
