Discover the #BookTok sports romance series everyone is talking about RYAN She's a distraction, that's what she is. I'm the newest Captain of the Devils, Chicago's NBA team, and the last thing I needed this year was for Indy Ivers, my sister's best friend, to move into my apartment. She's messy, emotional, and way too tempting. But when the team's General Manager vocalizes his blatant disapproval of my promotion to Captain, referring to me as an unapproachable lone wolf with no work-life balance, I can't think of a better way to convince him otherwise than pretending to date my outgoing roommate. The only problem? Faking it feels far too natural. Having a fake girlfriend wasn't supposed to be messy but having Indy under my roof and in my bed is complicated, especially when she wants all the romantic parts of life that I could never give her. INDY I never imagined I'd be living with my best friend's brother, NBA superstar Ryan Shay. Even more unbelievable? He needs me to act as his loving girlfriend who's suddenly changed him into a friendly and approachable guy. Because, well . . . he's not. He's controlling of his space and untrusting of others. Our arrangement isn't one-sided, though. I'm in a wedding coming up, one where every one of my childhood friends, including my ex-boyfriend, will be in attendance, and there's no better date than my ex's celebrity hero. Blurred lines make it almost impossible to separate real from fake. Falling for my roommate was never part of the deal, especially when Ryan is quick to remind me that he doesn't believe in love. I'm a romantic and can't help fantasizing that he'll change, but soon enough, I find myself questioning if sharing a roof with my best friend's brother was the right move after all . . .

While the first book in the series did not impress me much, The Right Move did something to my inside and made me believe in romance all over again.
First of all, Ryan Shay. Ryan freaking Shay. Let me tell you this – Ryan Shay is THE standard now. He is the GOAT. He defines book boyfriend everywhere perfectly. He is everything a woman needs and more. He learns sign language just so he could communicate with his girlfriend's deaf father, for god's sake! I can go on and on and on about the guy, but that would be an exaggeration.
His quiet love. It's the loudest.
Indigo Ivers is just the perfect match to our hero. Indy is so completely the opposite of Ryan, they just match. Indy is the music to his lonely, quiet world. Indy is the force that keep him away from his rigidly planned life. Indy is the real MVP.
If you cannot tell yet, I LOVE this book. I even love the ending. I live for the epilogue, for that kind of awesomeness. Sigh.

though i enjoyed this more than the last one, but it was..just too fucking long. like it wouldn't stop, it wouldn't fucking end. i don't understand why the author has dragged on both books for this long, even though this one was shorter than the last but like, for god's sake, just end already.
I feel like this book had a side that could have been explored more with how the captain of the basketball team was half black. like there was so much potential about his need to prove himself instead of the fact he is a homebody. can anyone with sport knowledge confirm if this really affects the performance? like i don't know, given how the author who wrote this is white, maybe she was afraid of exploring that side but it would have been interesting to see it like that instead of simple doubts about him not being a social butterfly hence not a good enough captain.
anyway i no longer care about the third act conflict and i could care less about how they will resolve it
