⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Incredibly sweet sports romance!

When the Always Earned, Never Given opens, Annabelle is on the cusp of achieving her dreams – it’s the night before she is to perform for the first time as a principal in a ballet, a part of her life-long dream. But all that changes course when her parents are killed in a car accident and she becomes the sole care-taker for her much younger brother, Tommy.

Two years later and she owns her own dance studio in a suburb of Philadelphia and has surrounded herself with close friends who feel like family to her and Tommy. Declan is the brother of her closest friend and co-worker, and was immediately attracted to Annabelle when he first meets her. Declan is a quarterback and is being thrust into the media spotlight. He is told he needs to attend a charity dinner which is just the push he needs to finally ask Annabelle out.

This is an incredibly sweet romance. Watching Declan and Annabelle’s relationship grow, seeing how Declan is with Tommy, and how Annabelle and Declan face the various obstacles they encounter was heartwarming and made for a beautiful story. I had not read the previous books in this series, and had no trouble at all jumping into this one. Now I can’t wait to go back and read the first two!

Thank you to NetGalley for the Advanced Reader Copy. I have voluntarily left an honest review.

Read the previous books in the series!

Bella Matthews is a Jersey girl at heart. She is married to her very own Alpha Male and raising three little ones. You can typically find her running from one sporting event to another. When she is home, she is usually hiding in her home office with the only other female in her house, her rescue dog Tinker Bell by her side. She likes to write swoon-worthy heroes and sassy, smart heroines with a healthy dose of laughter thrown and all the feels.
