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!
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Claire Hastings is a walking, talking awkward moment. She loves Diet Coke, gummi bears, the beach, and books (obvs). When not reading she can usually be found hanging with friends at a soccer match or grabbing food (although she probably still has a book in her purse). She and her husband live in Atlanta with their fur-child Denali.
This is book 1 in a brand new series but it also continues the authors previous series, in that its connected to the previous series, Indigo Royal.
Dalton a main character in this book and Zara, his fiancee, were a couple in that series. At the end of their story, in What I Like About You, we see Dalton aka Tripp Sutherland, go home to Atlanta and agree to run a soccer team his father bought for him.
The soccer/football club team is called Atlanta Rising and it is a team in Atlanta and Dalton is running this team. He has a strong interest in soccer which is why his father bought the team. Felicity is his sister and she popped up in the Indigo series when she was trying to get Dalton to come home and the soccer team was meant to draw him home. She was portrayed as sort of a stuck up brat but I actually really liked her. So I was pretty excited to read her story.
This story is a romance between a much older new coach for the team, Gunnar who is a widowed former player who just found out he has a 22 year old daughter named Talia, and Felicity. Because Felicity is management and runs things, its a bit of a forbidden romance and so they get together in secret. If you like forbidden romances, an at work romance, and a big age gap story plus hot soccer players well you will adore this story.
This story for me was more about family. The soccer team was formed as a family team. Dalton and Felicity are running the family company. Talia and Gunner and his young protege, Liam become a family as well.
The author did a really great job with this story. It was filled with drama and secrets and lust, love and even betrayal. There is also a lot of soccer talk and it was all too complicated for me. But this was a complicated story with many secrets and also a lot of love. Its about the family you are born to but also the one you make with friends.
