RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: The Endgame by Bianca Borell

 



The Endgame by Bianca Borell is now live! 



Every girl with a brother grows up with one fundamental rule: his best friend is off limits. That's one rule she longs to break when he crashes into her life.

Amelie Weston has been taking the safe path for as long as she can remember. Not disappointing her parents by pursuing the career she wants. And not pursuing the guy she's been crushing on.

But she's tired of being the good girl.

Her brother's best friend is pushing her to stop being a people pleaser and open the bakery of her dreams. Little does he know he's also at the top of the list of her heart's greatest desires... and he's making himself impossible
to resist.

Levi Kingston fully intends to become a legend on the field as one of the best players ever. He must stay focused and work relentlessly toward his goal. He doesn't have time for distractions... until he meets his best
friend's sister, and his well-laid plan is challenged.

Bad timing, responsibilities, and loyalty to her brother keep them apart. But the connection between them only grows stronger. Their feelings become impossible to ignore, and the fight against them is pointless.

Will they take a chance on love? Or waste an opportunity for long-awaited happiness?


Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟


This is a difficult review for me to write as I always like to stay positive about any books I read out of respect for the author, but this one really tested me! I'm a pretty easy reader to please and I rarely give reviews less than 4 stars, so I feel mean when I do!


"Endgame. The thought hits me like two linebackers at once. I want the girl and the ball."

When Amelie Weston first meets her older brother's best friend, Levi Kingston, she's only 17 and he's 19. Both he and her brother are on the cusp of a glorious NFL career. There is an instant connection between them but she is firmly off-limits. Levi's focus has been solely football, until Amelie comes into his life. They have chemistry for days and a, irresistible connection. While her brother is forging ahead with his dreams, she finds that she has to put her bakery dreams aside, at her parents' request, because they want her to be the one with a steadier job. Both Levi and the bakery become dreams that are not quite ready for her to grasp, as she sticks with the straight and narrow and be the good girl who does what her parents want her to do. However, once she gets to college, things start to change.

"When you're ready, come back to me. I'll take you in any way, love you unconditionally."

I stuck with this story because I became invested in both Levi and Amelie, even though the more I read, the more frustrated I became. Even though this story spanned a good few years, at times, it felt like Amelie was forever 17 because she was bratty, passive aggressive and so immature that I wanted Levi to throw the towel in and give up on her. He worshipped the ground she walked on. His love for her was solid, irrevocable and abiding. No matter what happened between them, he was faithful through the years to her and the dream of her being his forever. I admired his patience in waiting for her to grow up and realise her dreams; his tenacity in waiting for her to realise that she can't live without him any more than he can live without her. She was stubborn to the point of sheer pigheadedness that I swear that even she didn't know what the hell she was doing. Just when I thought they were on the home straight, something big happens and they fall to pieces again. Grrrrrr!!! Levi had just had a life-changing, career-changing incident - the poor guy just needed space to come to terms with it but, no, Amelie somehow made it all about her. I could go on nitpicking because by the end of the story, I wasn't even sure what he saw in her and I didn't like her very much. LOL. Don't get me wrong, she seemed like a good person and I felt bad for her when neither her parents nor her brother supported her dreams. Therefore, you'd think that the one person who has had her back the whole time deserved more than her stubbornness and cold shoulder. Overall, this was an angsty, sexy story, with a fantastic hero, but the heroine disappointed me.
