“‘Rookie? She’ll be an expert when I’m done teaching her.” –Dex Moore Smart guys make the best lovers. We’re curious and want to learn as much as possible, especially when it comes to women. Women are the most fascinating and complicated species on the planet, right? So when we meet a lady who piques our interest, it drives our curiosity to soaring heights. We want to study her. Figure her out. Lucky SOB that I am, I’ve built a career on this very thing. As a founding partner of Checkmate Inc., a company that’s grown into a multimillion-dollar business, I’m a quasi-celebrity. It’s a role I never expected, and out of all three Checkmate partners I’ve somehow been labeled the jet-setting playboy. I don’t mind the smokescreen. I can’t commit to a serious relationship while I trot around the globe to oversee our expansion, a venture that could bankrupt Checkmate if I don’t keep my eye on the prize. Besides, the only woman I’d like to study, figure out, and unlock her ear-splitting cry of ecstasy is the one woman I can’t have. And since she’s one of my closest friends and my business partner’s sister, a jet-setting playboy image is the perfect facade to hide my true feelings.
I read my first every Shelly Alexander
book at the end of last year. I loved it
and wanted more so when the opportunity came along to read and review Rookie
Moves, I jumped right in.
Rookie Moves is a friends-to-lovers
romance with the added hurdle of a protective brother in the way of anything
serious. Dexter (Dex) Moore and his
three best friends, Leo Foxx, and Oz Strong join forces and start Checkmate,
Inc. ( I love the name of the company that pays homage to the three young
geeks.) Ava Foxx is Leo’s little
sister. Ava is interested in more than
friendship with Dex and Dex wants more with Ava but, for different reasons,
they both know that can’t happen.
Ms. Alexander knows how to tell a
story with characters that steal the hearts of the readers. Rookie Moves is told from Dexter’s
point of view. Seeing everything unfold
through his eyes allows the reader to know Dex intimately.
Dex has the outward appearance of being a
playboy. He is photographed often with
different women. The problem is that he
wants his best friend’s sister. He also
knows that Leo won’t approve. In
addition, Leo trusts Dex to keep an eye on Ava and not let anyone get too
close. It is easy to feel how he is torn
between loyalty to his friend and the desire of his heart.
Ava Foxx is another loveable
character. Ava tries the friendship path
to get Dex to notice her and now she is all-in working on getting what she
wants. There are secrets now that will
become known to all and trouble will be in their future.
In general, the story moves at a
steady pace. There is a place in the
middle that the story slows down for me a little. It doesn’t last long but it takes away a
little from my concentration. That said,
Rookie
Moves is an enjoyable, light, romance with good characters and a solid
storyline. While the book is part of a
series, I never felt lost or wondering what I missed—Rookie Moves works as a
standalone. Of course, now that I know
the first book is about Leo I want to learn more about his backstory. I have this need to slap him upside the head.
I recommend Rookie Moves to anyone
who enjoys a friends-to-lovers romance.
The characters are a little unusual in that they are born nerds and
relationships are challenges. It is a
fun, lighthearted story with a lot of appeal.
Another win for Shelly Alexander.
