The only problem with Bella Matthews’ books is that they end and I have to go bad into the real world. It’s always a perfect mix of fictional romance mixed with reality. Deacon was another perfect book boyfriend. And Brynlee was a strong female lead who was struggling with a very real decision that could change the way she lived her life. I was not expecting Brynlee’s struggle. It brought so much emotion to the plot. I loved the way Brynlee and Deacon reconnected. I loved the way they supported each other. Their marriage of convenience was fast but it really worked and made sense for them, especially when considering what Brynlee was going through. I liked that this book wrapped up all the missing pieces from the other books. Brynlee was an excellent secondary character, but was even better as the main character. I loved how she related to Kennedy, Deacon’s daughter, and worked to develop a relationship with her on her terms. I love the big Kingston, Sinclair mixed family. It seems like with every book there are more characters I’m intrigued by. I can’t wait for more of the second generation to get their books, but that bonus epilogue has me wanting a third generation and that just seems crazy! But that’s how much I just love this world Bella Matthews has created.

✨BOOK REVIEW✨   The Sweet Spot by Bella Matthews (Playing to Win #4)   Rating: 4⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️   Spice: 3.5🌶️🌶️🌶️   Tropes❤️‍🔥 - Marriage of Convenience - Secret Romance - Single Dad - Hockey Coach - Found Family - "My Wife"   My Review🌸 Another great book in the Playing to Win series! We finally get to hear Brynlee's story, and get to know who she is sneaking around with, since she was being sus from the third book in the series LOL While I have loved this series, I think this book was my least fav of them all, and not in a bad way, but I just didn't feel that emotional investment or attachment to the characters like I had in previous books. With that being said, I love that you still see all of the friends, sisters, cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. from Kroyden Hills, and we still get the banter between all of them and their group chat messages too.   This book seemed to have taken place in a month or so timespan (correct me if I'm wrong)? And I think that's what made it feel unrealistic to me. I honestly didn't see the point in the marriage based off of why they did it, but you gotta do it for the plot you know? I did think it was super sweet that Brynlee had the biggest crush on Deacon growing up, and Brynlee's dad, Cade, told Deacon to stay far away from her, even when she was of legal age 😂 I feel like what would have provided more context for this couple would have been some flashbacks from each of their POV of when they knew each other in their teens. We hear about how they knew each other, had crushes on each other, etc, but we only know that from their current POVs, not from how they actually felt in the moment when they were younger.   Overall, this was a good read and tied together some things in the series and provided more context from previous books. I loved that Brynlee gained more confidence and stood up for herself in multiple aspects, and Deacon could be that solid and constant person in her life to help with it. #bookstagram #bookworm #books #romancebooks #kindle #kindleunlimited #booklover #booktok #bookaddict #bookreview #bookcommunity #read #bookstagrammer #booknerd #reading #book #romancereader #readmorebooks #booksta Instagram: @notyourkindlehistory

This book took you through all the emotions!! We first meet Brynlee in her dad’s book Caged when he finds his was back to Scarlet and from that book I couldn’t wait to see who finally swept her off her feet! Throughout this series we were able to see Brynlee through the other girls eyes but now we were able to get all her thoughts! ⁣ 🔹⁣ Brynlee is such a strong woman and you see it so many times throughout this series! She has an amazing job as the physical therapist for the Revolution (hockey) and loved it but then she find out that she is switching teams to the Kings (football). Brynlee takes control of it herself and puts in her notice. While this is all happening she is battling with a secret that could change her life. ⁣ 🔹⁣ Deacon is hired as the youngest professional hockey coach for the Revolution and is ecstatic to start! He also has to balance work and life with his daughter, Kennedy. Brynlee and Deacon grew up vacationing at the same spot and have also had a connection but now they need each other more than ever. I loved Kennedy’s character so much in this book! Not only did I think that she truly encompasses some of todays youth but I thought we got a real reaction of someone who is going through a lot of life changes. ⁣ 🔹⁣ I loved the family aspect of this book so much! You see how they close ranks and protect their own. All of them are so strong but together as a group they can’t be beat. You also get to see some of the OGs and see what they have going on in their lives which gives me all the feels!
