Review: The Lineup

The Lineup by Meghan Quinn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Note: This is my last review of 2019.

Another Note: This is a series, so this all goes in order. First comes The Locker Room, then The Dugout, third and final (for now) is The Lineup. They can all be read as standalones but it would be recommended to read in order, to understand every character's backstory. Thank you.

Songs applying here: 1. It's A Lie by the Vamps. 2. River by Charlie Puth. 3. Kiss by The Vamps. 4. Good Boys by Josie Dunn. 5. I Wish You Were Here by HRVY.

So Jason Orson. Dottie Domico. You two. Have. Got. My. Heart.

That's all I can manage to stay. Third couple to win this trophy.

Anyway. These two have my heart so bad for being so endearing, wonderful and perfectly hilarious peeps of nature.

I don't think I'll ever find a replacement. Gah..

Anyway let me start this review for real. It's already getting so long.

Here we go.

The cover - So darn swoonworthy, no wonder Dottie felt the attraction so bad at first sight...I mean I wouldn't mind some staring and (oh shit is that drool?) touching..got me all jumping and down like a kid with a present for their birthday..But I loved the cover, first sight. Fucking swoonworthy. Gee. Hence the stars.

The summary - Dottie (Emory's friend - Emory (Knox's girl from The Locker room) and Lindsey's amigo from the same novel..) actually donates 10,000 dollars to Jason's charity and immediately removes it as well. But by then Jason has found out about it, and gets determined to confront her. In their interactions, attraction simmers, anger rests underneath, and tension brews in the midst as they slowly get closer. But not without some problems being thrown in the mix, these two battle the world to have their future. Loved this summary, so gosh darn much. Hehe. Hence another star.

The characters - Ah Jason, my boy. He's such a dreamboat, and I don't mean by the looks. By his bloody good personality. He's so sweet, sensitive (rare in today's world), caring, clever, and handsome. My dream, for sure (if only he cared to read as well..). Dottie on the other hand, my to some-extent copy. Sarcastic, intelligent, clever, caring, and ruthless in some manners, she's the epitome of what it means to be a leader in her professional life (not me) and caring to her friends, family and Jason. (me) So many times, I felt like banging my head on the wall when I read what she did (so many of those actions were like mine..it's amazing..how you get frustrated when you meet someone like yourself..) Lindsey, Emory, Milly, Carson, Knox, Mama G, Jessica, Natalie, Walker, Cory, they all made this story even more delightful to read with their wit, words and comedic touch. Bloody awesome they all were. All the stars of the world to them.

The romance - Slow for sure, but so worth the wait. Steamy and sweet, it's a perfect mix of what you'd like when you first meet Jason and Dottie. And that's exactly what I got, delighting me to no end. Hence the stars.

Finally the problems and the end - With Dottie's job, Jason's charity thing (aaah..Can't remember..clearly the new year's got me, still off..), Dottie's past and Jason's, a lot of these problems stop Jason and Dottie from getting together...but with how resilient these two are, and so are their friends and family, there's no doubting Fate wants them together, for sure. And I loved the ending, with Knox and EMory (oh you'll know..*winks*), Carson and Milly, and our newest couple Jason and Dottie. JUST FREAKING LOVED IT ALL! All the stars it deserves.

So congrats to our newest couple for winning my heart, and pray sincerely that Meghan Quinn keeps swishing her magic wand back and forth with her books, cause I freaking love them.

Until the next year,

TMR
