BOOKWORM REVIEW: Red Heart Card by Annie Dyer

 

RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5
SPICE: 🔥🔥🔥

When a younger hot soccer star with whom one has serious chemistry offers his baby daddy services, what is a woman to do?

Neva faced this dilemma after combing through so many candidates to fulfill what she feels like a missing piece from her life. Her former beau Jude Whittingham seems to be the only person who currently fits the bill, and she hesitantly agrees only under the condition that they leave any feelings or attachment out of it.

Oh, you sweet summer child.

This was a fun read to get one hyped for the fall soccer (or football for my non-American friends) season. I love Jude and Neva's connection, and while this is my first read in the series, it seems like Jude is implied to have undergone this arc that has Neva reconsidering their relationship. I am always here for a reverse age-gap romance, and Annie Dyer delivered on the chemistry and spice between our main characters. We also get a beautiful depth to the development as individuals and as a couple that I really enjoyed.

This is the fifth book in the series, but it did really well as a standalone. This was such an enjoyable read that I cannot wait to go back to the previous books.

** I am voluntarily reviewing an advance copy of this book. Thank you to Annie Dyer and Wildfire Marketing Solutions for providing an ARC. **

ABOUT THE BOOK

Jude Whittingham didn’t expect his football season would be spent in the stands recovering from injury. With rest and rehab his primary focus, Jude finds his mind is becoming as messed up as his Achilles tendon. It doesn’t help that Neva, one of his many ex-girlfriends, and the team’s nutritionist, has now been assigned to his case. 
 
Neva has more to worry about than dealing with Jude. After a series of disastrous dates and time-wasting relationships, her hope of having a baby is fading. Neva's problem – no one has passed the audition phase or come close to being father material. Well, since Jude. 
 
When a family seems to be out of reach for Neva, not only does Jude find out about her baby dream, but he also offers to help her out. Neva can’t think of a practical reason to say no, apart from the fact that their past should probably be left exactly there.
 
Jude might be able to give her a baby, but just because he can, does it mean she should?
