Nattie and Brady are perfect!
What a great introduction to Bella Matthews! This may take place their senior year of high school, but they all act like they are in college already. I was not prepared for the twist, but it just made the book that much better watching Brady and Nat come together. They are so sweet together and it isn't always written with such "grace" with a best friend's sister. A sweet new friend had the perfect quote from the book that is actually why I decided to read it in the first place. It fits perfectly.“I want to give you everything, Nat. Today, tomorrow, next year. I want to give you the world, sweetheart.”

All In is a wonderful first book by this author!! I was pleasantly surprised to see a first time novel have such a great flow, and plot!We meet Brady Ryan who is one of the Kings of Kroyden Prep. He has only ever been interested in football, and she has been his only love! Enter Natalie, a beautiful pixie ballerina who takes no prisoners. As the daughter, and sister of football royalty she trusts few, and loves even less. Together these two are drawn to each other from the beginning and we get to follow them as they enter their senior year at KP!Few Notes: The end of the book gets a bit rushed to wrap things up. However, I have a feeling that we will get some more information in future books that explains what we may have missed in the Quick wrap up...... my hope anyway. There are a couple of pieces that I wanted more information about as they seemed glossed over. Can't say much more without spoilers. Overall this is a great first book, and I will be adding future books to TBR.

TouchDown!!!
Touchdown!! Bella just scored the game winner with this book! All In is the first book in the new series Kings of Kroydon Hills. This is Brady and Natalie's book.Brady- is one of the kings of Kroydon Hills Prep. Football is his life! He's one of the best QB's in the country and football is his endgame. Who doesn't love a alpha male ;)?In walks Natalie. She grew up around football. Her father and brothers all play. Its been her life for her entire life. She comes home from being away and immediately is introduced to the Kings.Sports romances are one of my favorites. This book has everything. Its an incredible YA romance. This group of friends will have you laughing your butt off. But their loyalty and friendship to one another is what did it for me. Natalie and Brady will steal your hearts from the very first page as well as the rest of their crew. This is one book you wont want to put down. Im excited for more! Thank you Bella for this ARC copy of All In. This was one book I was excited to read and she did not disappoint!!

Debut Young Adult Novel
Senior year at a Prep school.Popular kids, football star, cheerleaders, dancers, snotty, the works.Girl comes across the country to spend senior year with her father, who happens to be the new football coach for the city's football team, and her twin brother.Twin brother is best friends with the quarterback of the Prep School's football team.Teen angst, insta girlfriend/boyfriend, mean girl situation and entitled jerks too.Not bad for a debut novel and I don't really read Young Adult much anymore.I did find myself liking the main group of kids and how they took to a child with autism being raised by his 24 year old sister.

Touchdown! This was fantastic!
This was a bit of me, all my favourite things:✔ Young adult✔ College✔ Sports✔ Brothers best friend/ forbidden romance.✔ Dual POV✔ A group of equally sexy guys who have opposite personalities.✔ Strong ass female lead who becomes BFF with the most amazing girl!I loved the whole thing! So much so I read it in one sitting today. Brady and Natalie's story is a beautiful journey, and really does tug on your heart strings, but you get the perfect balance of swoon and laughing your ass off.Brady is what we need him to be, yes he's the star quarterback with an insanely successful path ahead of him, he is so focused on the plans he swears off anything that will get him distracted, especially relationships. However, what we end up getting is the most smitten, romantic, caring and devoted guy! And I was here for it! Brady had me all up in my feels...mostly with jealously.Natalie is a girl who's been controlled her whole life, and decides to move to figure out what she wants from life, relationships also not being in the list. She's strong, sarcastic, easy going and just so perfect for our guy Brady!Their connection is instantaneous but firmly forbidden by Nat's brother, Cooper.Its only so long they can both deny it and try to not let anything come of it. The build up to it all made me feel like a giddy 5 year old, I just so eager and ready for it to all fall into place for them. And you know you're invested when you rant and rave to your kindle 😂This has built up more than a game perfectly because Murphy was my favourite character in this group. If there's going to be a sex crazed, joker playboy in the group then just go ahead and sign him up instantly to be my favourite! I can't wait to get stuck into his story next.Bella Matthews, this was a superb debut and I am ready to get lost in all things Murphy now! 😍

Good start to a series
I’ve always loved a good sports romance, so when I saw this one I knew I had to read it.I enjoyed the dual POV and loved all of the characters. I think I’d enjoy reading about all of their stories.The author has set up the potential for a great series. Looking forward to reading the next one.
