My Review

 

I have a sad confession: I love Bella Andre books, and I love sports romance, but I've never read any of Bella Andre's Game For Love series. I need to remedy that ASAP, but in the meantime, I loved All the Right Moves!

 

I've known this for a while, but Marquita Valentine does good novella. All the Right Moves only solidifies this in my mind. This is a story that read like a full-length novel. It has a great set-up, with Ryan and Ashley meeting in puppy parenting class. Ryan is interested in Ashley, but after a bad breakup with her pro-football boyfriend, Ashley's not interested in a relationship with another player. Ryan's not like her ex, though, and he was a fantastic leading man. He was this totally hot alpha man, but also really nice and sensitive to Ashley's wants and needs. Ashley was a sweetheart, but had enough snark to appeal to the jerk in me. lol The issues holding Ryan and Ashley apart was true to the story and weren't contrived or overreaching at all. The story was wrapped up well, with an ending that had me smiling and so very satisfied.

 

All the Right Moves was so great. I cared about the characters and their HEA. It was sexy and charming, and lands at the top of my favorite Marquita Valentine novels. AND, it has me dying to read the Game For Love series. An all-around win!

 

 

 

 

Over the tops of the trees, the Atlanta skyline rose. “I like being so close to the city, but far enough away that it feels like I’m in the country.”

“Your yard is huge. Big enough to play a pickup game,” he said. “Maybe I should buy a place out here.”

Her heart beat out a funny rhythm at the thought of Ryan becoming her neighbor. “I plan on putting a pool in, but I can’t decide where exactly, because I’d have to remove a few trees,” she said, sinking down in the love seat.

Ryan stood there for a moment and then joined her. “But if you put in a pool, you’ll lose most of your yard.”

“That’s the other reason I’m taking so long. I’m still weighing the pros and cons,” she laughed.

His thigh brushed hers and she heard him suck in a breath. Leaning forward, she set her glass down, and then turned to him, tucking her legs beside her. The movement brought them closer together.

She brought one arm up along the back of the couch and propped her head in her hand. “You’re not drinking your tea,” she pointed out.

He glanced from his drink to her. “I’m still weighing the pros and cons.”

“Of drinking tea?”

Carefully he set his glass beside hers and then slid closer. “No, not that.” He ran his fingers along the side of her neck, and then slid them behind her head. “This.”

And then he kissed her.
