I kept thinking it was going to matter but it didn’t. And what was the point of her fear of flying? No point. I mean, Delilah was doing a sex ‘cleanse’ but then claimed she didn’t ever have sex with anyone without being in a relationship first? Uuuh, okay? Then he can’t be with Brody because she never gave up on her old fiance who died? I mean, I guess but that only came up halfway through the book. Boring.Īnd don’t even get me started on Delilah’s mess of humanity. The attractive cockiness dissolved into stupid one-off (not funny) comments and we were just left with a super sensitive man with muscles. Hey, ladies, I’m super hot and arrogant but oooh wait no I’m really super sweet and caring and do everything perfectly. Regardless, Brody was just a shell of the ‘perfect’ guy. I mean, honestly, why? Apparently Delilah was love at first sight? Even though we later learn he was still hung up on his girl-next-door-druggie-whatever-that-was? That was a stretch. First off, cocky and arrogant Brody fell way too hard and way too fast. Ultimately, this book was just sigh-worthy. At one point the author literally said “many hours and multiple orgasms later” – uhhh, HELLO? I don’t pick up a book with THAT cover to have you skip that shizz! Light it up, lady!ģ) For the characters/story – this genre doesn’t always have the greatest reputation for characters and stories and I’ll admit, sometimes I’m okay with generic or cliche if it means I get numbers 1 and 2. Most of it was just glossed over, to be honest with you. And that was probably the best sexual encounter of the book. It was rushed and didn’t even make a lot of sense physically. First off, it was dragged way too far out and when they finnnnally bumped uglies it was just that – ugly. No really – I know you think I’m joking, but I’m not. I mean, Brody made a joke about wanting to “eat” Delilah like 100 times. Annnd that was pretty much the only time I laughed in this whole book. I mean, a cocky, sexy football player? and when he first meets the reporter he drops his towel? That scene made me laugh for sure. This book didn’t do ANY of it in the end.ġ) For the laughs – there was some serious potential here. If it can give me one of those three without irritating me with other things, then I’m really happy. If it can grant me, honestly, even one of those three, then I’m pretty happy. Let’s make it happen.īut man – in the end, what WASN’T wrong with this book? Okay, so here are the reasons why I, personally, pick up a book like this (in no particular order). What’s not to like? Super hot and talented football player and equally hot and talented reporter fall for each other. The Baller: A Down and Dirty Football Novel by Vi Keeland
