Resumen del Editor

Kenzie Shaw is the most sought-after rookie in women’s major league soccer, but her life changes forever when she’s drafted in her home state of New Jersey. After all, it’s not every day you get a chance to play alongside your idol and the woman you’ve crushed on for years.

Sutton Flores has soccer in her blood. Her father raised her to play, her brothers pushed her even harder, and her coaches shaped her into a superstar athlete. Despite her success, Sutton never lost sight of what matters most - her family, friends, and the woman she’s dating - even if most of her relationships fizzle out as quickly as they start.

Kenzie and Sutton’s chemistry as teammates quickly escalates to undeniable attraction off the field, but when allegations of sexual harassment rock the team and their relationship, they must decide if they’re willing to sacrifice their dreams for love. Are they destined to last, or are they players in a game set to lose?

Sweet Story!

It was a sweet story. The plot development was good and addressed issues going on in female sports right now. Not just soccer but gymnastics and other sports; professional, and scholastically as well. Society is still evolving and the misogyny is still alive and well. Look as what happened with Spain and what the player who was kissed without her consent went through till the coach and federation director were removed after their World Cup victory!

The two main characters had a great chemistry. The narrator was excellent! Overall, the story was very good!

It drags just a little bit, but it's good.

I've listened to this twice now and I think my feelings are about the same.

The audio bothers me a little, especially in the beginning, so I listen to is at 1.15x speed.

I do like that it's a sport story, I don't get to see that often. But I will admit the story is just a bit lacking. Some of the points of conflict in the story are a touch out of left field and I feel like the story could've just as easily gone in a different direction. It lacked substance and timing. Other than that the story is a good time and they're a cute couple.

Absolutely Loved It!!!!!

I absolutely loved this book! As a former soccer player, this book was very well written and the main characters were the best!! Flores and Shaw were everything a good love story needs

Made Me Feel Every Emotion

The amount of times that this one book put a smile on my face… was a lot. Ullrich did a great job making this a super cute Sports Romance book. She also took some of the serious notes and threw them in there too. (I was getting towards the end of the book and I thought, wow this book isn’t going to have the typical issue/drama in the relationship — little did I know just how wrong I was about to be). Ullrich covers an insanely accurate topic and I thought did an insanely good job with it (I won’t spoil it, but it happens in the final third of the book).


Top of Her Game tells the story of Kenzie Shaw (aka Chicken) – a hot rookie signed to one of the best teams in women’s soccer. It’s about her rise but also about getting to play with her idol and her longtime crush. Things heat up both on and off the field and what comes out was a fantastic book that had me smiling, laughing, crying and every emotion in between.


The setting and the characters were realistic and well thought out. I found every person to be believable and every interaction that they had to be true to human form. Sometimes in books like these authors can make wildly fake feeling people – but that was not the case here. Every person Kenzie and Sutton interact with felt real. Especially in the later parts of the book when it gets a bit darker.


Overall, a fantastic book that I absolutely couldn’t put down. Ullrich will definitely be a name that I look out for in the future, and I hope that she writes books similar to this that get turned into audiobooks as well.

Great.

I really enjoyed Top of Her Game. A great mix of soccer highlights and romance. Keira Grace did a great job with the narration.

Unresolved

I was not happy with how the sexual harassment was just ignored. The author made it a key point of conflict for the story but then just let it go. That crap gets ignored in real life. That’s why people read books and watch tv- to see the bad guys lose and the good guys win. Ignoring it and not giving it closure ruined all the good parts of the book for me.
