Jock Royal gave me mixed vibes. Yes, it was an easy to read story. Yes, I liked the idea of the storyline. Yes, I really enjoyed Ash's character. Then there was Georgia. The opening scene did not cloud my judgement of her. Not at all. I actually applaud her for trying to stand up to her teammates. But there was something about our heroine that just didn't feel right. She seemed immature (yes, I know she's only 21/22), and not really willing to communicate clearly. Maybe I was missing something with her, I'm not entirely certain. I was rooting for Ash and Georgia though. I was. I wanted their relationship to work out. I wanted their new found friendship to move into the lovers category. And so when that happened I was thrilled. Then life after Vegas happened, and that irked me. A lot. Like I said, the book just gave me mixed thoughts/feelings. I'm glad that there was an HEA at the end, but it doesn't feel like their story should have ended there. That could just be me though.

All in all I loved the hate to friends to lovers aspect of the story. I loved the British influence that Ash brought. The scene on the Rugby pitch had me chuckling.
