I haven't read a sports romance in a fair while, and I have been suffering from withdrawal symptoms. So I decided to pick up The Hot Shot - it has been sitting on my kindle since release day, and I wish I'd started it sooner!! I LOVE THIS SERIES, and The Hot Shot is yet another superb addition. Having said that, this could potentially be read as a standalone. 
 This story had everything I love about a book. It was a sports romance, with a friends to lovers aspect, full of humour the right amounts of everything, it gave me all the feels and made me cry! Pure perfection! 
 Everything about the storyline worked for me. With loads going on to keep your interest, without being over the top. I loved how Chess and Finn initially meet, I loved their connection and their chemistry, and of course they way that friendship developed just worked so well. The two characters are pure perfection in every way, I fell in love with them both. Their characters are complex and extremely likeable. 
 This story is sweet, funny, sexy and oh so HOT! I laughed with the characters and cried right alongside them. And the whole ending... then the epilogue... everything... just spot on! 
 Kirsten Callihan's writing is flawless, with the story flowing throughout, and not a dull moment in sight. Just brilliant!! Highly recommend to all readers of this series, new or old! Pick up this book!!
