Teardrop Shot by Tijan

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I asked for his criteria for bed buddies-that’s the PG version.

He swore at me and said he didn’t do groupies. And just like that, our friendship was off to a great start.

Reese Forster was the starting point guard for the Seattle Thunder.

Gorgeous. Cocky. Loved by the nation.

He’s also attending preseason basketball training camp where I used to work.

Correction: where I work again, because I was fired from my last job.

And dumped.

And I might have a tiny bit of baggage, but that’s normal. Right?

Reese and I shouldn’t have become friends. We shouldn’t have become roommates.

And we really shouldn’t have started sleeping together … (Except we did.)

I’m adorably psychotic. He’s in the NBA.
This is not a disaster waiting to happen, at all.

So deep!

The Hero: Reese Forster – starting point guard for the Seattle Thunder. He is one of the most famous and well-liked players in the NBA. Next season should be one of his best. His name has been in the media lately because his estranged brother has been in a sexual scandal. Meanwhile he will be attending pre-season training camp.

The heroine: Charlie – recently dumped, she finds out by her boyfriend’s grandfather that he already has moved on with another girl, and in her Reese Forster basketball shirt no less. She gets a call from someone she hadn’t heard from in six years. Trent had called in the past, but she has ignored him, this time he keeps calling back, so she picks it up and Trent ends up staying with her. Charlie is quirky and a bit crazy. When things got too much for her, weird and random things jumped right out of her mouth.

The Story: Trent asks Charlie to go with him back to their old stomping grounds the following morning, Echo Island Camp in Minnesota. It was a sanctuary for Charlie, she had gone there as a kid, and was a counselor as a teen. She ran from the group of friends that go there every year and hasn’t been back since. She knew suddenly that it was long past time that she returns and sees them all again. She had ghosted them when she was dating a guy named Damien and was going through something.

Charlie and Reese end up at the same summer camp on Echo Island. Charlie is assigned to work in the gym courts and has to sign an NDA to get the job. Charlie was supposed to work 5 am to midnight and she was assigned to the fish cabin (used to be where they cleaned the fish) so she wasn’t looking forward to the smell in there. I gotta say, from the start I absolutely loved the crazy things that came out of her mouth, usually silly questions. This book was fun from the start, and I loved Charlie!

This story was really good, both Charlie and Reese had a lot of pain in their pasts and the stories were very different than any other book I have read before. I loved the fact that they really get to know each other well before things get steamy. Of course, they are attracted to each other from the start, but they become really good friends first.

This book was told via solo narration, though most was in Charlie’s point of view. It was narrated by Savannah Peachwood. Savannah is a terrific narrator and I love her soft and youthful voice and she is one of my favorite female narrators and she was absolutely perfect as Charlie.
