Review: Skin in the Game by Jackie Barbosa
Rating: 3 out of 5

Skin in the Game by Jackie Barbosa wasn't as high in heat and steam compared to the other Brazens that I've read, but it was still sexy nonetheless.The characters in the story were developed and I found them all likeable with the exception of Donnelly (he was a douchebag). Cade was an all around sweet and sexy football hero and was probably my favorite character out of the story.While I found this sports romance quite enjoyable, there was *something* missing for me. I felt that the romance between Cade and Angie could have been explored more in depth. Furthermore, I felt that this story needed that extra "oomph" to really capture my attention and move this up to a higher rating. With that said, this was one of the books that I found myself able to put down easily and not in a rush to pick back up.However, I loved the ending and how the author introduced the potential characters for the next book. I'll surely be on the lookout for Rachel and Warren's story if the author does write their story.In the end, Skin in the Game wasn't bad, but it didn't "wow" me or it wasn't a story where I found myself enjoying immensely. However, I believe fans of sports romance especially football romance will find this one enjoyable.*ARC courtesy of Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
