Cute, especially if you enjoy the friends who have secretly loved each other for years, but won’t admit it trope. Not a favorite trope for me, but there are some nice moments throughout. I just get bored with this kind of story, but I know others really enjoy it.

Really liked this one!! I always love when authors include a group of guys and Adams did not disappoint. The guys were hilarious and reminded me a lot of the Bromance Book Club. It’s just refreshing to have guys in books be more emotional and in tune with their feelings even though people just see them as the big strong athlete. Nathan is s dreamy. Perfect book boyfriend!

I really liked the sister and could relate to her personality so much! She was so funny. Bree on the other hand was pretty clueless and a bit annoying but the rest of the characters made up for it.

Sarah Adams NEVER disappoints!!!!! The Cheat Sheet is definitely my FAVORITE Adam's read TO DATE!!! As a football lover, I loved the sports aspect. Different than a lot of the normal rom-coms out there. Adams is always an auto buy author for me and I am already counting down to the next release!!!

Unfortunately, I was the wrong audience for this one - I did not realize that it was a "sweet" closed door romance until it was too late ... if this is something more up your alley, you might have better luck with this one.

AMAZING!

From the moment that I picked up The Match I knew that Sarah Adams was going to be one of my favourite, must-buy authors. She has a way of writing romance that works so well, and with so much humour that a lot of romcoms lack.

So, when this book was announced, I knew that I absolutely had to read it, and once again, she did not disappoint.

There was everything I wanted in this book and more. It was funny, witty, romantic and I absolutley binged it in a single day.

I will gladly read anything Sarah Adams writes, because her romance novels are exquisite.

The Cheat Sheet was such a fun read! I LOVED the moments when the team helped Drew! I could picture it as a scene in a movie! Lucy made me laugh out loud at times and completely stole my heart! If it were a movie, I would rewatch it over and over. I highly recommend this book and all others written by Sarah!

Obsessed. I loved it. I can’t wait to read everything Sarah Adams writes. So swoonworthy. Thank you for my copy! The audio was delightful.

Sarah Adams doesn’t let me down. Always delivers a lighthearted, fluffy, feel good book.

What can I even say... I loved Bree and Nathan so much.

The Cheat Sheet provided me with friends to lovers, mutual pining and fake dating (a dash of slow burn bc my god I wanted them to KISS already) tropes that had me giggling like an idiot, shedding three tears and puking rainbows. This book was just so FREAKING CUTE! A bit more different than her other books but in a good way!

Read this if romcoms are your thing. Also if soft funny football players are your thing.

Thank you to @netgalley for the most-anticipated ARC of this book. I love Sarah Adams' books and this one did not disappoint: a slow-burn, closed door romance within a strong friendship had me swooning over and over. It officially releases tomorrow on Amazon and if you like rom coms, I highly recommend this one!

Sarah did such a good job crafting a friendship history for Bree and Nathan and they were both such endearing characters. I love Sarah's writing-- she is funny and real but also has such a way with metaphor and describing a character's emotion that I often feel that I know *exactly* what feeling her characters are describing. And I had some particular ways that I personally related to Bree which made her feel really real to me.

Wow. Wow. Wow. I know Sarah Adams is my go-to when I am in a reading slump and need saving BUT this one really was off the charts.

Nathan and Bree were the perfect friends to lovers romance. I couldn’t get over how much of a softy Nathan was. I just wanted to hug him! I have so much to say and I’m not sure how to formulate words without spoilers.

If Sarah Adams isn’t on your radar this is me screaming at you to get onboard with her books because they will make you happy and all in your feels.

Read if you like:
•Friends to lovers
•Fake dating
•Slow burn
•One Tree Hill (the Nathan/Haley vibe is there)
•Keepsakes/memory boxes

Thank you, Netgalley!

Loved this one! I would have loved more steam, and the ending lost me a little, but I adored the relationship between these two. I laughed out loud a lot!

I can quite honestly confirm that The Cheat Sheet is everything all the bookstagrammers say it is and more. The endearing rom com voice you expect from Sarah sings right to your funny bone. Reading Bree and Nathan's story is like a hug you never want to end or a cozy chair you just want to sink into. Thank you Sarah for the smiles you put on my face and for all the giggles.

Read this book now!! This was such an enjoyable and funny closed door sports romance. Something that I don't see enough of!

This is the third book I've read by this author and each book just gets better and better!

The writing style and characters sucked me in right from the beginning. I kept finding excuses to be able to read more.

I do wish that the ending was a bit different, but I still give this 5 stars!!

I really hope that this becomes a series because I really enjoyed the other football players!

Sports romance? Best friends? Secret feelings? SIGN ME UP! This has so many of my favorite things and I enjoyed it!! This book has low steam but I still really loved it. This book was fun and cute and a really quick read!

What a sweet story! This one tops the FRIENDS TO LOVERS trope with JOSH & HAZEL.
👍🏼: Low steam. 👍🏼 No drama.
❤️: Their relationship was so healthy and sweet. They truly had an special bond and knew each other so well. ❤️ The humor was so good, I laughed out loud so many times. ❤️ The tide commercial! 😂

📖: Nathan and Bree have known each other since high school, they are best friends. He is a professional football player and she is a dance instructor. Lots of chemistry but not sure how the other one feels.
If you like Friends to lovers and fake relationship, this one has both!

The Cheat Sheet is my first book by Sarah Adams, and it will not be my last! I love every part of this book. I finished it in one day because I love Nathan and Bree. Their chemistry was well developed with their friendship and secret feelings for each other. I laughed out loud and needed to rewind so that I could listen to it again. Sports romances are my absolute favorite. The Cheat Sheet is one of my top rom-com novels of 2021! Seriously, Nathan may be a new book boyfriend of mine! He's going to be made into a bookmark soon for my Etsy shop.

Teddy Hamilton is my favorite male narrator. Wow, he's so talented at bringing these male characters to life! Teddy Hamilton and Renee Dorian did a great job narrating these characters.

Thank you, Dreamscape Media, for this complimentary copy for my honest review.

This was such a cute and fun read. I love a good best friends turned lovers sports romance and Nathan was sooooo sweet! Definitely recommended this one to my best friend to enjoy and laugh over! Bree was just to loveable to not love so much

I’m already a big fan of Sarah Adams. But after reading The Cheat Sheet, my love for her writing has now catapulted into another dimension, and I’m secretly wondering if I can be the president of her fan club.

The Cheat Sheet tells the story of BFFs Nathan and Bree as they navigate a sticky situation: each harbors secret loving feelings for the other and neither knows what to do about it. Bree is afraid confessing will ruin the friendship, and Nathan fears Bree doesn’t feel the same.

As the reader, you know where each character stands, and to be witness to the push and pull, the getting-oh-so-close and then having a minor setback, was like watching a perfectly-choreographed dance. A tango, if you will. The perfect combination of light and shade, heat and release.

Both Nathan and Bree are as lovable as an any character I’ve ever read. I laughed (a lot), had tears in my eyes (the softer scenes were SO beautifully written), and the whole story was a warm cup of tea, in book form.

If you’re looking for a story that will put a smile on your face, I can’t recommend this one enough.

Thanks to Netgalley for providing my this ARC in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Read in August 2021
This was a great rom-com. The characters were likeable. The story had good pacing and chemistry. Also, it was really funny. It put a huge smile on my face!

Y’all…. This. Book. It is so good! Sarah Adams just gets better and better! I literally say that every time she publishes a book, but it’s the truth! If you are looking for a book that will make you laugh and feel happy… look no further!

Besties who have secretly been in love forever, fake date, and hilarity ensues as Nathan enlists the help of his football teammates to take it from fake to real! Bree is so amazing! I love her and want to be her! She had me cracking up so much and I loved her antics.

I had tears of laughter rolling down my face during so many scenes! When Nathan almost gets caught plotting with his friends, and Bree surprises them… I died! So funny!

Thank you to @netgalley and Sarah Adams for an advanced copy.
