Spinning Out (The Blackhawk Boys Book 1) Kindle Edition

A sexy and intense standalone novel from a New York Times bestselling author. This book contains heavy subject matter and is intended for mature readers.

Once, the only thing that mattered to me was football—training, playing, and earning my place on the best team at every level. I had it all, and I threw it away with a semester of drugs, alcohol, and pissing off anyone who tried to stop me. Now I’m suspended from the team, on house arrest, and forced to spend six months at home to get my shit together. The cherry on top of my fuckup sundae? Sleeping in the room next to mine is my best friend’s girl, Mia Mendez—the only woman I’ve ever loved and a reminder of everything I regret.

I’m not sure if having Mia so close will be heaven or hell. She’s off-limits—and not just because she’s working for my dad. Her heart belongs to someone else. But since the accident that killed her brother and changed everything, she walks around like a zombie, shutting out her friends and ignoring her dreams. We’re both broken, numb, and stuck in limbo.

Until I break my own rules and touch her.
Until she saves me from my nightmares by climbing into my bed.
Until the only thing I want more than having Mia for myself is to protect her from the truth.

I can’t rewrite the past, but I refuse to leave her heart in the hands of fate. For this girl, I’d climb into the sky and rearrange the stars.

THE BLACKHAWK BOYS, an edgy, sexy sports romance series from New York Times bestseller Lexi Ryan. Football. Secrets. Lies. Passion. These boys don’t play fair. Which Blackhawk Boy will steal your heart?

3.75 stars--SPINNING OUT is the first instalment in Lexi Ryan’s contemporary, new adult THE BLACKHAWK BOY romance series focusing on a group of friends who attend Blackhawk University. This is football player Arrow Woodison , and nanny Mia Mendez’s story line.

Told from dual first person points of view (Arrow and Mia), using present day and memories from the past divided into nine parts SPINNING OUT follow in the aftermath of a hit-and-run accident that killed Mia’s brother Nic, severely injuring her ex-boyfriend Brogan, and the resulting fall-out as family friends struggle to move on from the pain and grief. Months earlier Mia fell for Arrow Woodison but Arrow’s best friend Brogan swooped in and fell for our story line heroine. Infidelity, secrets, and lies lead to a New Year’s eve drunk fest wherein one young man would lose his life, while another clung to what was left of his. Fast forward to present day as our heroine struggles to move on from the past, as Arrow battles his own demons and more. When Mia is hired as housekeeper and nanny for the Woodison family, Mia is placed in the direct line of fire when the young man she has loved continues comes under house arrest and continues to push Mia out of his life. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Mia and Arrow, and the fall-out as sins of the past reveal more secrets and lies than anyone could have imagined.

SPINNING OUT is a story of betrayal, of death, loss, grief and forgiveness; secrets, lies, hypocrisy and cover-up. The large ensemble cast of colorful and broken characters include Mia’s struggling father Mr. Mendez, as well as Arrow’s father Uriah Woodison and his young wife Gwen. We are introduced to Arrow’s friends and teammates: Chris, Sebastian, Keegan, Mason Dahl; Coach Wright and his daughter Trish, and Mia’s best friend Bailey.

SPINNING OUT is an emotional story line about mistakes, defamation, addiction and deceit. The premise is detailed, raw and tragic ; the characters are broken and flawed; the romance is a second chance at love, forgiveness and a happily ever after.

I don’t write reviews, ever. I once considered it but didn’t have the energy. This book has been everything to me for the last literal 15 hours. My heart was breaking through most of it, but I had to know what happened. The storyline is amazing. If this is how the rest of the series is gonna be, count me in Lexi. (I also am not a series girly.)

Overall Opinion: This is another tough one to rate... I enjoyed some of it, but other parts bugged me. I was engaged, and I thought more than once that it was an unique storyline -- so there's that. I was frustrated with the fact that we didn't know any details of what had happened until around the 75ish% mark, because for the first part I kept on thinking "is this part of a series and I missed the first one?". That feeling of being lost was not so great. I think some bigger reveals earlier on would've helped the storyline flow smoother tbh. I also hated the hot/cold feelings I got with both of the mcs. They'd push away and then they'd want each other's attention. It became exhausting! The ending also left me with some major questions being unanswered, and that was frustrating. So, in this case I guess I just got what I paid for 😉

**See goodreads.com/NMmomof4 for my full review with spoilers**

Brief Summary of the Storyline: This is Mia and Arrow's story. I'm going to keep this brief in hopes of not ruining it. Mia and Arrow meet one day because Arrow's roommate is hooking-up with Mia's best friend. They have an instant connection, but Mia is under the impression that Arrow is a mystery person she's been texting lately. That mystery person ends up being Arrow's best friend, and he is harboring a pretty strong crush on Mia so Arrow backs off. The story starts later when Mia is working in Arrow's home as a live-in nanny to his baby sister and he is on house arrest. We go from past to present and see how their story unfolds...and they get a HFN ending.

POV: This alternated between Mia and Arrow's POV.

Overall Pace of Story: Not so great. It felt slow at times, and I did skim some at the beginning half of the book. It shifts in sections of the present and the past. The ending also felt too abrupt for my liking.

Instalove: No, but instant connection and instalust.

H rating: 3 stars. Arrow (not a huge fan of the name). He was so hot and cold that I could hardly keep up at times! He hated her, then loved her, then was mean to her, then wanted to have sex with her!

h rating: 3.5 stars. Mia. I liked her a little bit more than the H, but not much. She was also wish-washy, and while I understood her problems and where they stemmed from I didn't like the way she was so indecisive.

Sadness level: Low, no tissues needed

Push/Pull: Yes

Heat level: Good. They have some good tension, chemistry, and scenes -- but not many scenes and not so much it takes away from the story.

Descriptive sex: Yes

OW/OM drama: Yes

Sex scene with OW or OM: No

Cheating: Not between mcs

Separation: Not really.

Closure: This didn't have enough closure for me, as I was left with quite a bit unanswered questions. I would call it a HFN ending.

How I got it: It was a freebie on Amazon.

Absolutely brilliant! I have never read a book like it and that’s really saying something!

A great storyline that pulled you in from the get go, awesome characters, both primary and secondary, amazing writing, which isn’t a surprise because Lexi Ryan is one talented lady and originality that strayed from the usual cliches!

The story set up is not one that I read often, mostly just in Lexi’s books, and she is so amazing at it!

I’m not going to say much more, I think this book is best read going in blind, as it took me a while to read it due to the blurb putting me off but now I’m hitting myself because it was just so so good!!

5* read!!

Tava muito sem vontade de ler, mas acabei pegando esse livro de uma autora que eu não conhecia e curti bastante. Tanto que li direto, sem parar. Adorei a história, amei os personagens e adorei a escrita da autora. É uma série de 5 livros, todos os caras aparecem nesse primeiro livro e eu fiquei interessada. Agora quero ler os outros.
