The Line Below: A Standalone College Sports Romance (Spark Sisters) Kindle Edition

by Ali Dean (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars (500)
When my teammates drag me to a club for my 21st birthday, the last thing on my mind is meeting a new guy. I’m not the kind of girl who gets wrapped up in a stranger on a sweaty dance floor. Except, that’s exactly what happens. Only, the guy isn’t a stranger. He’s Jett Decker, the Olympic track star who has the entire campus buzzing with his transfer to our college. He may have given me his number, but I won’t use it. I refuse to be distracted by silly things like explosive chemistry. I’ve got my own Olympic dreams to chase.

Turns out, whatever ignited on that dance floor can’t be put out by swimming laps.

Ali has done it once again! This book is absolutely addictive! Once I started it I couldn't put it down! I love the hot and steamy romance, the friendships andthe suspense. I can't wait for more from Ali! Her books never disappoint!- Country Girl Book Blog

I read this book in one sitting, if that is any sign of how much I loved it. I am all for a sports romance novel, and my favourite thing about this one, is the main character Shay, is the athlete. Yes so is the drool worthy male lead, but it was so awesome to read about an elite female athlete... If you're looking for an awesome romance read, I highly, highly recommend this one. I can't wait to get started on Kick tonight! - Coffee and Books Blog

I don't often read sports romance but Ali Dean converted me at least for the time being. Great New Adult Romance story!- Glimpses of My Books Blog

I loved this story. How can you not love a strong, determined female lead character like Shay? I enjoyed reading Jett's thoughts concerns on meeting thegirl and maintaining the relationship. The story is so good that even though the ending is good, you will want more. - Maeschelle

I am pleasantly surprised because I have never read anything by Ali Dean before and I didn't know what her style was like. But YES! This is a fantastic one. I am so glad I took a chance on a new author. Sports romance fans are going to rejoice for the Line Below. It's a quick and charming read and perfect for those who love the genre!- Elle's Book Blog

There is something special about reading a sport romance book. You can feel the character's wins and loses and their energy. Ali Dean can do it like no one else! She writes the best sport romance books!! - Vanessa, Goodreads reviewer

I am now hooked on Ali Dean can't wait to read more from her!- Book We Love By Blog

Absolutely LOVED this book! I'm a huge fan of Ali Dean and was a little nervous starting this because her Pepper Jones and Stark Springs series were AMAZING! I was worried this new book would be a bit of a let down in comparison. I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED! I couldn't put it down. If you haven't read The Line Below yet, you NEED to! Highly recommend! - Vicky, Goodreads reviewer

OMG this book was such a surprise I loved it so much Shay and Jett my god the chemistry was off the hook I loved both of their sports and drive and determination and for insta love which I usually don't like I loved this one and can't wait to read about kick. - Monique, Goodreads reviewer

Jett--oh, my goodness--is EVERYTHING. He's strong. He doesn't take sh-- from anyone. He's understanding. He knows what he wants, and he goes for it. He is perfect for Shay. - M.L. Rodriguez, Author

This is my first time reading from this author and I have to say it was a really good read. Jett and Shay have wicked chemistry and I loved Shay's take no BS attitude!! Jett was such a sweetheart. Looking forward to Kick's story. - Tersea, Goodreads reviewer

Ali Deans' new NA release The Line Below is simply amazing!!!! I adore anything college/sports romance and this book nailed it again for me. I INHALED IT! It's nitty gritty competition and yummy addicting romance - and both are athletes!!!! - Angela on Maryse's Book Blog

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Ali is a USA Today Bestselling author of sports romance books. She has always loved to read, especially when there's a happily ever after, but found that there weren't enough books out there featuring girl athletes. So, she decided to work on that. Like the heroines in her books, Ali is an athlete, with running and skiing her favorite sports these days. Ali hails from Vermont and now lives in her own happily-ever-after in Colorado with her husband, two sets of twins, and golden retriever Pancake. When she's not pursuing an outdoor adventure, Ali's less healthy passions include ice cream, coffee, and beer.

    I am all for a good sports romance but I've never read one that involves swimming. I'm so glad I decided to try out this book because I fell in love with the characters and was riveted by the world created. It was more than just your average sports romance and is something that should immediately be added to your TBR list

    I was really impressed with Ali’s writing. I don’t know her background but she really wrote a great sports romance like she had lived the life of a collegiate swimmer. The characters were interesting and the story was very relatable even that college age group is way far in my past. I will be checking out additional books by this author.

    I loved the entire story line and all the characters. I was glad to see the little bit of angst that was very needed. However, what’s with the ending? Yes, there’s HEA. Yes questions are answered. But did she make it to the Olympics? How did they handle both their careers? It just feel apart right there in the last few pages.

    I'm really glad I picked up this book. It was a first for me from Ms. Dean, and it won't be my last! I loved that our fmc is a serious college athlete. This whole story hit me right in the feels, but It wasn't so over the top emotionally which is a nice reprieve from a lot of books out there.
    I loved Jett *sigh* he is amazing. I wish there was another book for this couple, but I'll definitely be grabbing Kick's story.

    Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2018

    Ali Dean is a great writer of sports romances. Especially those that deal with the high school/college student. She doesn’t have a lot of angst but enough to keep you interested. She has them flawed and dealing with issues that are relevant for that age and for what is happening where her characters are and she does it with sensitivity and grace.

    Here we have her characters in different sports having an instalove and chemistry. Jett is a runner. he has achieved the dream that Shay has-to win an Olympic metal. Only Jett isn’t stuck up or believing he is better than anyone. He is down to earth and focused. He is supportive and kind. And he is attracted to Shay from the moment he sees her in the pool. Their first meeting on the dance floor is where we see the chemistry but Jett doesn’t exactly come off in a good light. He comes off as a arrogant athlete really. So glad they got a chance to see who the other is.

    Shay is focused on succeeding and not tipping the apple cart in her family. Her twin is the one who bucks the mom system and so she tries to make up for it. Even if it isn’t what she wants. Meeting Jett is a complication but the attraction is one that can’t be ignored.

    Their relationship is instant and sweet. Jett is a sweet alpha but very understanding and supportive. He helps her see where she wants to be after school and supports her all the way. Their relationship is tested by self doubt from Shay and a fellow swimmer who goes off the deep end but these moments bring them closer and makes them stronger. They learn to communicate more and be more open. That is what you take away from these two-they are honest and real with one another. They don’t hold back-their fears, laughter, failures and accomplishments. These two hep buoy one another and are each other’s rock.

    The story is sweet, sexy when needed to be and entertaining. Jett and Shay are good for one another and face the issues that come up together and with honesty and openness. They are each others rocks and their journey together has you smile. Told in both Jett’s and Shay’s story we get to see where they are and how they are feeling but also their passion for their sport and what goes into their training and how they make time for each other and why. Now I hope we see what is up with her sister Kick because she was a great and I think more complicated character than we saw and deserves her story to be told.

    This was a first read by this author for me and I really enjoyed it. Well written and engaging storyline with two lovely characters in Shae and Jett. Shae is so determined, caring and hard working but underestimates herself. I loved that she found a sexy but protective and loving guy like Jett.

    Fantastic support characters in this too. I look forward to reading Kick’s story.
