        ABOUT THE BOOK

Clean-living, wholesome, and with a constant smile plastered on her pretty face, Dee Jones is my antithesis. She’s also what I’m told I need to polish my somewhat tarnished image – apparently being papped getting friendly with a fellow holiday maker on a sun lounger after your ex does a kiss-and-tell with the media isn’t exactly what Manchester Athletic deems great publicity for their bad boy midfielder. 

A repair job is needed, and the club is hoping that the super shiny star player for the women’s team can transfer some of her good-girl sunshine stardust on to me. But Dee hates me and I’m the last thing she wants to deal with right now, because Miss Dee has problems of her own. 

Problems that could score her an own goal. She’s meant to be my penalty, but will she let me be her kiss instead? 

Penalty Kiss is the first standalone in the Manchester Athletic series. Meet the team in this grumpy/sunshine, enemies-to-lovers, bad boy athlete romance.

     ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Annie lives in the north of England, not too far from the amazing city of Manchester. She is owned by several cats and many hens, narrowly avoiding being a mad cat woman by enslaving a very understanding husband. 

She’s an avid reader of many genres and if she’s not writing a book, she’s usually reading one!

This is the start of a new series by this author. I have loved two of her previous series and so I was really excited to check out this newest series. It's about players on the Manchester Athletic Soccer Club and it takes place in Britain. 

The characters we meet in this book is Rowan, who is the bad boy of the men's soccer club but also the star player and captain. When he creates two scandals, his team needs to clean up his image and so they send him to a summer soccer camp to inspire the kids attending. 

We also meet Dee, who is the woman's soccer club team captain. She lives with her single mom sister and nephew. The single sister is very much absent in this book and a very bad mom and so Dee ends up taking care of her nephew. When her sister runs away with her latest boyfriend, Dee has no choice but to bring her nephew to the team's summer soccer camp. 

Dee and Rowan are very much opposites, and they HATE each other. He lusts for her, but he also thinks she is no fun and looks down on him for his antics. Dee feels that he does not take soccer seriously and is a bad boy who just causes scandals. 

When they both end up at the soccer camp, they manage to find middle ground and when they both love Dee's nephew they start to let down their walls. 

I loved this book so much. The only character I did not like was Dee's sister. I adored Rowan. He is a guy who is very misunderstood. He likes to have fun and enjoy life and he is sometimes caught off guard. He is the fun guy and well Dee has not had much fun in her life and so I loved how he brings out her fun side as they really start to see each other. This is very much opposites attract romance and I loved the characters and cannot wait for the next book in the series. 

I received a complimentary early release copy of this e-book from the author prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.
