Book Review: Baller by S.L. Hannah

 

Blurb

Lena Griffin thought she had it all—glamorous job, gorgeous home, picture-perfect marriage. But at nearly forty, her life is unraveling fast. Divorcing, disillusioned, and questioning everything, she needs a reset. Not another relationship. Definitely not love.

Enter Josh. Twenty-eight, insanely hot, and a pro volleyball player with a body built for sin and a smile that could wreck a woman on sight. Their chemistry is instant. Off-the-charts. Completely unexpected.

Their fling is supposed to be temporary, just a little fun to shake off the dust. But Josh surprises her. He’s grounded, kind, and somehow exactly what she didn’t know she needed.

He’s younger. She’s cautious. And they’re both playing way out of bounds.

But when passion turns into something deeper, Lena has to decide if she’s brave enough to risk her heart on the kind of love that doesn’t play by the rules.

Content Warning: This story contains sensitive themes, including pregnancy loss. Reader discretion is advised.

My Review - 4 of 5 stars - 

This was a love story of an older woman and a younger man. I enjoyed it with Josh's genuine caring for Lena even when he was frightened by the feeling. Lena's current situation was precarious with her feelings and thoughts, and Josh provided something that made her life a little brighter. A fun story, but for me, a little too much waffling back and forth, dragging it out a bit too much. Still worth the read.

I received a copy through 182 Media, and this is my unsolicited review.
