Final Score — Jordan Green is too busy for a relationship, but that doesn’t stop him from fooling around with handsome playboy Félix.

My Rating - 5 Stars!
Off The Pitch is a fantastic collection by Charlie Novak. Having previously read and reviewed the three main stories, I knew I needed this complete collection.
Breakaway, Extra Time and Final Score are each wonderful sports romances. With sports romances being my absolute favorite, it's no surprise that I devoured these books quickly.
Breakaway is a second chance romance with a closeted player. Their separation gutted me, leaving me sad for them immediately. This one is largely about being gay in sports and the intense fear of coming out.
Extra Time is a super sweet, cavity inducing romance with a demisexual character. This one has a ex player who had to retired due to an injury. He's trying to figure out his life now that he's done with sports and is divorced. The other meanwhile is an eccentric artist who will charm you throughout.
And Final Score is a great feel good read about a closeted bisexual athlete. This one involves a hookup to love situation with a fifteen year age gap. They also have a distance issue, as they are from different parts of the world.
Add in the extra content of Hat Trick, Silverware, International Break, and Full Time, and you can't go wrong with this collection.
The author's writing style is stellar, with superb character development, a smooth pace, and some steamy scenes.
Off The Pitch is a must read for any fan of sports romances. Everything about this Charlie Novak serious is perfect! I love each of the couples and their riveting relationships.
