Title: Dear All-Star Player
Author: Tracy Lorraine
Genre: Romance
Rating: *****
Review: So this book is part of the same series as Dear Lonely Heart, Dear Mr. Firefighter & Dear Double Team and every single entry I have read in this series so far, I have loved. Dear All-Star Player follows Rose and Seth. Like most of the other women, we have followed Rose is signed up to the matchmaking service by a friend and even though Rose is reluctant she seems to take some comfort in the fact that Grace uses old fashioned methods and ideals in her agency.
Seth turns out to be Rose’s high school bully, who is one of the main people responsible for Rose’s poor self-image growing up and her inability to completely trust the men she is dating. However, Seth doesn’t recognise her straight away until she introduces herself, Rose not wanting to date the man she believes Seth to be leaves and it seems like any chance at romance vanishes. In the meanwhile, Rose and her friend come up with a revenge plot so Rose can make Seth feel even a little bit of what he made her feel all those years ago. The way she goes about this funny but at the same time, it is a little heartbreaking as Rose feels good at the time but immediately feels guilty.
Seth isn’t deterred by Rose’s little revenge scheme, in fact, it makes him want her more and Rose can’t help but start falling in love with the man who had made her high school life a living hell. The pair manages to see past their impressions of the other and that when things start getting steamy. So far in the series, these are the best steamy scene I have read apart from the ending of Dear Mr. Firefighter and it really brings the whole story together rather than being smut for the sake of smut, which is a common thing in these types of novels.
I must also give a major shout out to the ending, Rose gets a marriage proposal and announces that she is pregnant all in one go on the same night Coach Seth’s team win the big game. This really brings the characters full circle, Rose has managed to overcome her judgemental side and see people for who they are now rather than who they were, and Seth has overcome his depression at the end of his football career and found another he can love just as much.
