This was, hands down, my favourite book by Sara Ney I’ve read so far :) which actually makes it harder for me to write a review :) you might think it’s weird but for some reason it’s much easier for me to write a review when I had some issues with the book… when it’s the opposite situation… *sighs* I mean, in how many different ways can you say that it was perfection? ;) so excuse me while I make some completely chaotic points about all the things I loved about it :)
#1 NO DRAMA :) I mean… I know that some people complained in their reviews about this story because there was no conflict… you know, the one that usually happens near the end of the book and has to be resolved before the happy ending… I’m rarely a fan of those situations, cause a lot of the time it’s blown out of proportion and it’s not handled very well by the main characters… I’m talking about the situations when there’s this like big fight or something like that, often because of some stupid miscommunication that could be resolved by an honest conversation but sometimes instead of days it’s weeks, or worse, months before it’s dealt with… so the further I got into this book, the more worried I got… cause I was really loving it and I was dreading this sort of situation… but it NEVER HAPPENED :) it’s just a beautiful story about two people meeting, becoming friends and falling for one another with an absolutely the sweetest epilogue at the end :) on the other hand if you love angst don’t read this book, it’s not for you ;)
#2 the story :) I had to start with the “no drama” point cause that one shook me to my very core in the best way possible ;) but let me tell you in a few more details why I adored the story itself :) Scarlett met Sterling “Rowdy” Wade during one of the parties in the baseball house… as in, she went there with her friends, they were flirting with some players and Scarlett was… well, she was sort of pointing out the stupid way they were flirting or how they were lying about some stuff… so Rowdy, the team captain, was designated to keep her on the porch and outside of the house, so she wouldn’t interfere… charming, I know :) but they actually ended up having a good time, with some entertaining banter… they both made an impression on one another, so when one week later Scarlett is back, Sterling is already waiting on the porch… you know, to not let her inside ;) this happens for a few more weeks until it turns into something more… like I mentioned before, they start as friends with that spark of something more underneath, but there’s no rush into anything… it’s actually a slow burn romance and I loved it ;)
#3 Scarlett :) I adored her to pieces… I was afraid she would be more of a shy person… and don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing bad about it, I just prefer my heroines different :) she was smart and confident… not the type to often go out or to parties, but not because she hates it… she just likes to spend her time alone :) another thing I loved about her is that she’s a virgin, but doesn’t make that big of a deal about it… I mean, it’s still important to her, cause she hasn’t slept with anyone for a reason, it’s just… it’s hard for me to explain, but I really like her attitude when it comes to this situation… not to mention how it’s handled when it comes to her relationship with Sterling :) and speaking of the devil… ;)
#4 Sterling :) what a great hero of the story… what I loved most about him, was that he was interested in Scarlett for something more serious… yes, he was attracted to her, but because they started out as friends and with quite a lot of talking, they were able to build a foundation :) he’s focused and knows what he wants… and he can be very persuasive.. :) yes, patient as well, cause he never pressures Scarlett into anything and always respects her decision to stop, but he can be charming and seductive along the way :)
#5 the writing style :) I flew through this book in record time… :) now it’s definitely one of my all time favourites and I will be re-reading it on a regular basis because it was everything I love in stories… and a big part of this is the writing style… the interesting characters, the slow burn romance between them… all the sparks and banter… :) the way they actually talk with one another and communicate… :) *squeels with joy* I need more stories like that
#6 audiobook :) last but not least, as much as I am just in general recommending you to read this book in any format you prefer, I highly encourage you to give the audiobook a try :) it was absolutely phenomenal, and both narrators really brought the main characters to life :) I enjoyed every minute of it and in the future will probably re-read the story in that format as well… ;)

Sinfully Sexy, Wonderfully Witty, and Deliciously Dreamy
SWEET SIGH. Sara Ney has written the SWEETEST sports romance I’ve ever read!!! Sinfully sexy, wonderfully witty, and deliciously dreamy, JOCK ROW is a heart-hitting love story that SWEEPS YOU AWAY to Cloud Nine! I’m still floating ... days later!I went into this book BLINDLY and was quite BLOWN AWAY! The writing is UTTERLY BRILLIANT, so UNFILTERED, so UNEQUIVOCALLY raw and real that I’d swear I was in the front row of Jock Row living this love story alongside the captivating characters. Friday I’m in Love by The Cure filtered through my head—strumming my heart—while feeling these words. While reading or more like inhaling Jock Row, these characters felt so real where they were talking to me like I was their new bestie, you know, just friends dishing the dirt. These characters—from hot and heartwarming hero and baseball captain, Rowdy, to heroine and rebel beauty, Scarlett, to Rowdy’s all-for-romance mama—were just so LOVABLE that I wanted to squeeze them.This is the story of the smart ‘so not a cleat chaser’ understated beauty and the broody but hot, underrated jock. ‘Rowdy’ Wade ... where do I begin?!? He’s as hot as he is huge-hearted. This man, oh how he MELTED ME and made me laugh.”Have you seen this body, Scarlett? This body is a temple—we don’t wear it down, we build it up. Feel free to worship at the shrine.”Scarlett, she is as stunning as she is sensible and there is much more beneath her quick wit than appears. This heroine is effortlessly cool with out trying. I would be her bestie in a heartbeat. I adored this gal! Oooh did I have a girl crush on Scarlett.This hero and heroine are magical together! Their banter is just so ADDICTING that I couldn’t stop devouring every word. I was head over heels in love with Scarlett and Rowdy. They are so sweet and swoony with a connection felt through the pages.”What do you daydream about the most?”“You.”Jock Row, oh how I loved thee so much! I was WHOLEHEARTEDLY ENRAPTURED with everything Jock Row! Jock Row is an EPIC SPORTS-MEETS-COLLEGE ROMANCE with all the butterfly-fluttering feels. This story SMUSHED my heart so hard that you could hear the whoosh from all my swooning. Thoroughly ENTERTAINING, ENTICING, and ENDEARING, Jock Row is a fastball straight to the heart. All the heartwarming home runs! All the love! ♥️”Don’t you ever just look at something and know?”A MUST-READ ROMANCE with all the heart flutters!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 heart-hitting home runs
