## Description

The Striker: The Instant #1 Sunday Times Bestseller : Huang, Ana: desertcart.in: Books

Review: Off topic but more than the lead couple, I loved Vincent DuBois - "She's the only woman he wants and the only woman he can't have " Though I don't agree with it cz he had her quite easily. I loved the story as well as Scarlett and Asher's chemistry but I'm already in love with Vincent ( and idk why tf) but can't wait for Vincent to come in action
Review: Had a good time reading this! - This is the first book in Ana Huang’s new sports romance series-Gods of the Game, and it is filled with searing passion, redemption, and some great emotional depth and healing. The book follows Asher Donovan, a star footballer known for his skill and reckless reputation, and Scarlett DuBois, a former prima ballerina whose career ended abruptly after an injury. When certain circumstances forces the two to work together, sparks fly and we see what began as forced proximity slowly turn into something beautiful and deeper between them. What really stood out to me was the way the author blended two very different worlds i.e. football and ballet, showing us how both require discipline and passion. The rival’s sister trope was also perfectly executed and Scarlett’s journey of recovery and resilience along with Asher’s character development gave me all the feels. That said, the pacing does slow down in a few places and some sections felt a bit stretched, but that’s just my take. Overall, I enjoyed the book, so if you’re into angsty, slow-burn sports romances with strong character growth and some redemption+healing, then this one’s definitely worth picking up.
