Fake The Game by Julia Jarrett, Julia Jarrett
5.0
Julia Jarrett knocked it straight out of the ballpark with Fake The Game. Not only is the one of my favorite reads of hers, it's one of my favorite reads this year.
Maverick and Sadie were so incredibly special. My words will never be adequate enough to describe the greatness that was this book. Their story was emotional, raw, real, and honest. They had such a potent connection from the moment they met. What they shared was on a level so much deeper than either of them could've imagined. It was a life altering, bone deep, feel it in your soul type of connection.
Maverick was so much more than the bad boy of baseball. In fact, he wasn't bad at all. He just had a ton of emotional scars from his childhood that no one dared see past, until Julia. She saw through his rough exterior very quickly and started peeling away the layers, whether he wanted her to or not. She saw him. They came to depend on each other in a way that altered both of them in the best way.
Julia healed all the broken pieces of Maverick and made him want to truly live and be happy. He loved her to her core and made her feel like the bada$$ powerful woman she was. When everyone around them rallied them on and supported their relationship they shined even brighter. I adored the way he handled dirtbag Dirk and sent him running with his tail between his legs. That's what a real man does - has his woman back.
Maverick and Julia's beginning, middle, and end was what romance books are made for. Absolute perfection.
I can't wait to see what's up next in the series. If the first two books are anything to go by, every release is going to be a homerun.
