's review

it was amazing
bookshelves: student-teacher, age-gap, sports-romance, taboo

Balance was so tumultuous, everything was push and pull. Everything that Kova and Adrianna shared was raw and harsh and dirty. In Execution things progress, the edges are still rough but there’s more there than skin deep now. There’s unsurety but there’s burgeoning trust and a growing affection.

Hayden is so great so why? Because the draw is real! Kova is so toxic and manipulative. So why?!?! -FYI love triangle writers, this is how it’s done. Make the footing as equal as possible so the reader understands why it’s hard to choose. Because I hate that there’s a choice but I don’t think I could choose.

It’s men like Kova who destroy women.

The meet was a turning point. It gave the reader a chance to see everything good about Kova. I like the affection they share that doesn’t surpass a kiss on the cheek.

I can imagine jumping rope on a balance beam is somewhat common for a gymnast. But for me it makes Kova sound like Mr Miyagi. Which coincides with Avery naming the beam Johnny, at the time, I of course pictured Johnny Lawrence. I say we name the vault Daniel LaRusso.

Holy shit, I just realized the book covers gave away a pretty big plot twist. 🤦🏼‍♀�

Last time I didn’t get emotionally invested in these characters, but now I’m lost. I can’t believe I’m shedding tears for Kova.

This is the beautiful book. This is the book where you see the relationship the best coaches and gymnasts share. The loyalty, the affection and the trust. I have no idea how many of those relationships have crossed that line but in this case and at this point in time it works beautifully.

Another cliffhanger ... this time I understand why.

Isabella. R This series is one serious ride! And you're right because no matter how sexy Kova was he brought a minefield of issues 🤦


D.L. Howe Lol most definitely Isabella, this one is a serious soap opera. I honestly can’t read them fast enough with the need to know what happens next.

Bella - OMG, Debbie! You made me too curious. I am checking the book covers to catch something, but just because I have no idea I can't find anything. Now I have to read it! 😂Btw I think the couple on the cover is hot. And did you mention a good love triangle? They are so hard to find! I hate it also when the decision is one-sided.
Great review lady!💙 I will read this series hopefully I can make it till the end...


Isabella. R I never read the final book. Unfortunately I got over it by the end. Sometimes this is the problem when there is such a lapse between releases. Luckily they're all out for you to binge read!!


D.L. Howe Bella I noticed something but didn’t realize what it meant until halfway through the second book. Honestly I’m taking a hiatus from the goddess series until I finish this one because I just can’t stop lol. Oh they’re totally hot but I also picture the guy from Lucifer as Kova, because dayum! The triangle isn’t in your face because Hayden is a sweetheart. I hope you read them, so tumultuous and good. Thanks girl! 🤗


D.L. Howe Isabella I’m gonna admit a deep dark secret; sometimes ... ok most the time I read the last page. With these I didn’t read every last page because I don’t want to know the cliffhangers. But I read the last page of the fifth because I gotta know. I know I’m awful. But you gotta read the last book. 🔥💋


Isabella. R I heard the last book was something else. Okay I'll grab it although I'll be a few weeks away from reading it. For the first time in a long time I have around 20 books on my kindle wait to be read. Which is unusual for me because I spend half my life searching for books to read! 🙉


D.L. Howe Omg Isabella I totally get it, my tbr is ridiculous in the best possible way.


Crystal (Crystalreads2) I wanted to hug and smack Kova on several different occasions. I never would think to compare kova to Mr. Miyagi. That is awesome. Fabulous review.

D.L. Howe Drey, I’m happy too 🥰


Birjis Please tell me the HEA is for Kova and Adrianna. I just need a goooooood mood to read this series. I read the first book only and hearing about how much issue this series was by banning it from Amazon makes me want to read it more.


message 16: by D.L. (new) - rated it 5 stars

D.L. Howe Birjis I will say yes you should finish the series. Lots of ups and downs and it just gets better and better.

zozo ~ if only i had the patience for a 5 book long series that follows the same couple 😞


message 18: by D.L. (new) - rated it 5 stars

D.L. Howe zozo I know how you feel and typically I wouldn’t read them back to back. But this series is so entertaining and salacious.


message 19: by [deleted user] (new)
