Where there things I wish weren’t in Hard Hitter? Definitely. Watching him slowly come out of his self-imposed isolation was a great addition to this book. Ari also brought out another side of him, a sweet, compassionate side and I loved seeing that. But in Hard Hitter you got to really learn what he was like and what made him tick and why he was the way he was. There was something about him that rubbed me the wrong way. The other thing I liked was the growth of Patrick O’Doul. Even the always present, random break-up, wasn’t that much of a struggle. They both had walls up, but they didn’t force those walls down or completely hide from what was happening between the two of them. There was this natural build-up between them that made their story sexy and fun. But the spark between Ari and O’Doul was amazing. Sometimes in a romance book the relationship can feel a little forced. What I loved about Hard Hitter was the natural chemistry between Ariana Bettini and Patrick O’Doul. It had everything I wanted in a romance and left me just feeling happy and wanting more. Probably my favorite Sarina Bowen (excluding her co-authored book Him) to date. But since I was almost burned not reading a second book in a series (that I loved) because I didn’t fall insanely in love with book one, I decided to read it. So I will admit I was a little nervous to read the second book, Hard Hitter. I’m not going to lie, I wasn’t in love with the first book in the Brooklyn Bruisers series, Rookie Move. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.
