 Reading a long romance series will definitely have its ups and downs. There will be couples you love, couples you hate. There will be set ups that work and some that don't. You will never be 100% happy with all books in a long series, but that is what the joy of reading is about. 
 I started Jaci Burton's Play by Play series in 2012. Over the last 4 years I have read books 1-9. Over the last 2 months I read the final (??) 3 books, All Wound Up, Unexpected Rush, and Rules of Contact. Each book had a Cassidy sibling (Tucker, Barrett, and Flynn) and the football and baseball we ha e known and loved in this series. All three had love and romance and the ever present happily ever after. But all the did not leave me with the same feelings of joy. To be honest I was slightly disappointed in the last two books. 
 Basically, I really enjoyed Tucker and Aubry's story (book 10). They definitely had a natural chemistry between the two of them that sucked me in from the start. Their relationship didn't feel forced or rushed. It felt like they belonged together and that's what I love about a good romance. But Barrett and Harmony(book 11) and Flynn and Amelia (book 12) didn't have that feeling for me. Those two couples felt forced and there was no spark. I almost wish there had been build-up and pinning. I really think that's what was missing for me. 
 As a whole I enjoyed the series. There were so hits and some misses, but together it was just a fun sports series with love, life and romance. Book 10, All Wound Up, was my favorite of the last 3 for sure, but I would recommend checking the series out.
