Lovestruck is the first book I have read by Julie Capulet. I liked the main characters, Zara and Elias and was able to suspend belief and enjoy their insta-love story. If you don't like love at first site (literally in this book) or YA love (she is only 18), this isn't the book for you. While those are not my favorite troupes, I did enjoy that part of this book. What I could not stand and what knocked this down for me was Zara's father (Elias' coach) using his power to ruin players. *Spoiler: If I have the timeline correct too, her mother had to have gone along with the ruination of the first young man that "crossed the line" with the coach's daughter. This actually really spoiled the book for me because I felt her father was a controlling jerk and the fact that she would immediately forgive him was actually unforgivable in my opinion. This book is only a 3.45 book rounded down to a 3. I am sorry for that. I do think the author has potential.

Elias! Swooning ! I love that this book is about the male character in the one to fall hopelessly in love first! I couldn’t put this book down!

The banter between Elias, west and. Gabe was my favorite! And Zara what a strong young female lead character.

This book was so much more than I expected. I can’t wait to read more by Julie Capulet

Thank you NetGalley and Juliet Capulet for this ARC of LOVESTRUCK. It was the sweetest Insta love sports romance that had all of my faves including - forbidden love, love at first sight and a possessive MMC + quirky FMC. I absolutely devoured this book in a few hours and loved that there was minimal angst, no cheating and the sweetest HEA! ABSOLUTELY recommend to anyone looking for a feel good sports romance read ☺️😍

I really enjoyed this one! I was in the mood for a good football romance especially with the start of football season and I was not disappointed. it was such a good steamy and Osage turning romance. I loved the characters, the tie in of the coach, and how the story evolved. I definitely look forward to reading and reviewing more books from this author very soon!

I found this to be a mixture of say you swear and the deal. Not saying this isn’t a good book but it’s very very insta-love. I know it’s a play on soul mates however I instantly felt icky when reading Elias ‘s comments basically begging this girl to give herself to him. In real life if a guy came on that incredibly strong should be screaming red flags no matter how hot he is. I like when the stories I read that aren’t labeled fantasy are able to be realistic in some ways. This seemed very far from that. Its full of smutty scenes so if you want a quick smutty read this would fit the bill. This one just wasn’t my cup of tea.

So in the mood to acquire a good football romance and this seemed like the perfect pick! I’ve been getting tons of requests for a book like this and I can’t wait to share this with our readers! Will be sharing a review if this touchdown of a book very soon.
