Specifically Bas giving Jacob his tattoo.

This one starts during the events at the end of book one but covers things we didn't see on page there. ***ARC received in exchange for an honest review*** Overall, this was a book I was really looking forward to, but unfortunately didn't live up to the expectations I had after reading the first book. If I was on this team, I'd be seriously pissed. At that point, there was no saving the story for me.

All of these mind games playing with Jacob's emotions when he should be focusing on his swimming.Īnd all of this culminates in Jacob making a dumbass, selfish and unprofessional move. Available and supportive one minute, and running away the next. The spotlight is on Jacob as the standout rookie, and Bas is dicking him around (and not in the good way) the entire time. And then add in that there's an ex boyfriend thrown in.and this ended up being nothing but the drama llama stomping her way throughout this whole book.Īlso, what added to my annoyance and frustration was the fact all of this drama was happening during the Olympics, the pinnacle of an athlete's career. I just never warmed up to him.even by the end, he didn't completely win me over. And the reason is simple.Bas.īas's push and pull throughout most of the book was beyond frustrating. Jacob aka Pup and his mentor, Bas, developed a close relationship in the previous book and I couldn't wait to read their story! Unfortunately, I lost that connection in this book. It seriously pains me to give such a low rating to a Layla Reyne book, but I really struggled with this book.Īt the end of Relay, Alex, Dane, Bas, Jacob and the team were on their way to Europe for the Olympics and the chase for their elusive relay gold.
