REVIEW ➞ Out of Bounds by Claire Hastings

BLURB ➞

Welcome to the Atlanta Rising Football Club, where the temperature isn’t the only thing turning up the heat…


Felicity Sutherland knows what people think of her. She just doesn’t care. Her attitude is her armor, and it hasn’t failed her yet. Thick skin and working hard in the male-dominated sports industry placed her dream job within reach. And as she vies to become president of the Atlanta Rising Football Club, there isn’t a competitor, or a distractingly handsome co-worker, that can get in her way.

The only games Gunnar Gracin has time for are the ones he coaches on the pitch. But life just keeps bending the ball, especially where the women in his life are concerned. The death of his wife over a decade ago was a devastating loss. Discovering an adult daughter from an encounter he doesn’t remember changed all the rules. And working for the frosty, sharp-tongued Felicity is downright infuriating.

But as Gunnar and Felicity spend more time together, the tension between them sizzles like a hot summer night. And the moment Gunnar gets a taste of Felicity’s smart mouth, he decides to throw the playbook out the window. If no one knows what they’re up to, giving in to temptation doesn’t feel so out of bounds. That is, until life gets in the way and the whistle is blown. Will it be a red card for Gunnar and Felicity’s secret romance?

Out of Bounds is a standalone enemies-to-lovers, age gap contemporary romance. Enjoy it on its own, or as part of the series, with no cheating and a guaranteed HEA! 


This beautiful, normally overconfident woman was showing him a side he was sure no one ever got to see.


ARC REVIEW ➞

The first time Felicity was introduced in Caught Up In You I absolutely disliked her, I didn’t think there was any way I could like her, but I was wrong….oh so wrong about her. I completely fell in love with her. I was rooting for her. She is a BA, she is strong. She has worked harder than most people in her fathers’ company and has fought hard to get where she is. She is a woman in a man’s world and didn’t let that stop her.

By the end of the first chapter, I was already in love with Gunnar, with Cowboy and the entire Atlanta Rising team. These guys are awesome and I seriously can’t wait for more of them. Gunnar is hard working, he through himself into work after tragedy struck. Become head coach was a good change for him, however, he also got a few surprises along the way that he never expected.

I absolutely fell hard for Gunnar and Felicity. These two are perfect for each other. They needed each other more than each of them realized. The banter between them in the beginning is amazing, there is plenty of tension going on. There is a hilarious scene between Gunnar and Felicity that will have you laugh and fanning yourself thanks to the delicious tension within minutes. You’ll fall hard for Gunnar, the man is swoony and super romantic.

I’m completely on #TeamARFC and I can’t wait to return to Atlanta!
