All In: 1 (The Kings of Kroydon Hills)

Product Information

Sabrina is the beautiful perhaps little nerdy girl next door thats always been around and always been at odds with Murphy. However, things change when they both end up at the same college, learn a little more about each other and are constantly thrown into the same place by their joint friends. Can Murphy and Sabrina make a relationship work with the pressures of college life? Can a self-proclaimed manwhore become a committed man? Can Sabrina step away from the rules and regulations of her parents (including the cold-hearted Mother)? Can they become more than just the game? Sometimes New Adult/Young Adult fiction is too whiney and emo for my tastes, but All In is not like that. Sure, there's some angst, a little drama, but they behave like fairly mature, non-whiney teens, and don't act as if the world revolves around themselves solely. Natalie and Brady are both such great characters and once they get together, are even better. I loved them together and their story. The 4 stars rather than 5 is only because I felt the ending was a little incomplete and a tad rushed. Everything else is well-written and the characters are amazing, though. The secondary cast is just as interesting as Brady and Natalie and I can see a really entertaining series coming with all their stories. I really liked Murphy and Sabrina together. He is totally swoon worthy and I liked how feisty and sassy Sabrina was. College romance is not a genre I read a lot of, but I found More Than A Game to be well written and entertaining. Bella Matthews has hit it out of the park again with More Than A Game, it gives everything you want from a romance novel. A strong female who doesn’t give in, a swoon-worthy (sometimes possessive) alpha, comedy relief and just a hint of drama! I cannot wait to read Annabelle’s story in June.

Natalie's finally living with her dad and twin brother and she's at a crossroads. Dancing no longer fulfills her. She doesn't even want it for her future any longer. She knows her dad is going to be upset, but she's going to live her life for her, not for her parents. Will her dad support her? What about her brother? Will Coop support her, or be disappointed like their dad? And what about her new attraction to his best friend? How will he react to that? Annabelle Hart; Caring, Responsible, Takes-no-shit; is the owner of ‘Hart & Soul’ dance studio (Where Nat works). She was a professional ballerina before her parents died in an accident, since then her little brother Tommy (who also has autism) & her studio are her whole life. She's been a fixture here, She & her brother a lovely addition to this friends' circle! Murphy and Sabrina have a village supporting them. Since I didn't read All In first, I didn't know about this great group of friends that are a family. Note, you can read More Than A Game as a standalone. However, you will probably find yourself like me racing to read All In because you love this amazing crew so much. They made me laugh and warmed my heart with how they were there for each other. I want all of their stories! I love that both characters know exactly what they want to do with their life and that they are working their tails off to make it happen. Sabrina is so crazy organized and detailed, it makes me happy because I am the same :) I'm really glad she stood up to her mother and father after they went too far trying to organize her life - it made me extremely happy and I may have even cheered out loud, haha! And Murphy is the jokester of the bunch, but I love how the reader gets to see the serious side to him and how much he loves the people around him.As for the chemistry and their connection? OUT OF THIS WORLD. The way they would always need to be touching, the way he called her baby, the HEAT between them. Good golly miss Molly, I cannot give this book enough praise. I simply loved everything about them and I know you will love them too! How can you not: "The slow smile I'm rewarded with hits me harder than any play on the field ever has. I want to be the man who keeps that smile there. I want to be worthy of this beautiful woman who's slowly changing my definition of winning." Bella's stories JUST KEEP getting better and I cannot wait to see where this world takes us next. Believe me, you will NOT be disappointed! Other than that, this book was a great story. I liked that we were able to get an epilogue for Murph and Brina, unlike with All In.However, with that said, Nattie and Brady are still my favourite. #SorryNotSorry can we also just take a moment to appreciate the amount of times "good girl" comes out of Coopers mouth!!! I love me a good praise kink!

Carys what an inspiring woman this girl is. She is a strong, beautiful, intriguing, talented girl. She wanted to learn who she was, she wanted to be seen as something other then 'mini Murphy' and boy does she achieve this. . More than a Game is the 2nd book by new author Bella Matthews and with how well written this book was you could never tell.

Kings of Kroydon Hills Book Covers

Carys has been in love with her brothers best friend turned step brother for years, and she always thought it was unrequited and she would have to just get over her feelings since there's no way he would ever feel the same. But when Cooper is on leave and sees the wonderful and confident woman she's become, he can't stay away. And he'll stop at nothing to keep them together, despite all the odds in their way. Last week I actually found time to finally binge this series off kindle unlimited, and I have to tell you guys that I am now even more impressed with Bella Matthews than I ever was!
