I was surprised and amazed at how intimately I became entranced in this story. OFFSIDE is not just about a gal wanting to play hockey with the boys or proving herself as capable as any of them, if not more. No. It's about family, it's about loyalty, it's about the relationship between sisters, friends, and teammates. Although this is Billie's story, Bobbi is the third triplet and she feels as if she's been handed the short end of the stick while her sisters, Billie and Betty, have skated free to live their lives as they wish. What she doesn't know is that Billie has her own secrets and torments. Billie has fears and trepidations about her future whereas Bobbi is settled and confident. Betty shows up near the end, and oh boy, did I want to slap her down and kick her to the curb.OFFSIDE by Juliana Stone is a story built on familial tugging of the heartstrings, a heroine who, while confident on the ice, is still the timid sports-minded teenager who once pretended to be her more flirtatious sister to seduce the man she's always loved, and a hero who, despite his protests, wants what everyone else around him seems to have - real love. Touching, emotional, at times heart-wrenching, OFFSIDE is a steamy romance that culminates with a devastating blow to the heart leaving you wondering if this romance can be saved. Have no fear, Juliana Stone pulls it out and leaves you begging for more.I highly recommend OFFSIDE by Juliana Stone to anyone who wants to read a truly romantic, heartfelt, emotional roller coaster of a romance. It's that simple. I guarantee you'll even find yourself a little more interested in hockey.***eARC provided by author in exchange for an honest and unscripted review.
