Kick: A Standalone College Sports Romance (Spark Sisters) Kindle Edition

by Ali Dean (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars (335)
It's buzzing anticipation. Floating weightlessness. Adrenaline rush. All the best feelings wrapped into an emotional high that never gets old. I think I might be addicted to falling in love. When rising rock star Jack Kingston comes to play on our college campus, I think he’ll be just another fix. Instead, he flips everything around and makes me question who I am, what I want, and why I do what I do. After he leaves, everything changes.

Pushing myself in the pool, struggling to keep up with my twin sister, it’s what keeps me from losing myself entirely. Swimming isn’t my passion. It’s my source of stability. When I find the courage to finally start pushing my boundaries, I discover success in ways I never imagined, both in and out of the water. When Jack resurfaces, I'm forced to decide between facing my fears or letting them spiral out of control as my past catches up with me... threatening to pull me back under. It's time to sink or swim.

"Kick is a book that has soared above all other books for me this year. It is the epitome of coming of age in the modern world. The romance is all-consuming and just down right beautiful." - Cassie, Garden of REden Book Blog

Review

"I'm beyond in love with this book. The Spark sisters are game changers." - Love Lit Chick Blog

"This book needs to be read by everyone." - Fun Under the Covers Book Blog

"Ali Dean can write sports and now we know she can write the gritty rock scene and has further developed her ability to write the heart and gut wrenching scenes. This book is for those who love rockstars without all the drama. This book is for those who love a story about how a girl becomes a girl boss. This book is for those who love characters that feel deeply and love intensely." - Cassie with Garden of Reden Book Blog
"I could NOT put this book down! Ms. Dean draws you in with every word she writes. I literally re-read everything she publishes until her next new book comes out." - Angela, from Maryse's Book Blog

"OMG! This book is absolutely amazing!! I was so excited for this book to come out because the whole time I was reading Shay's book I wanted more of Kick!! The chemistry between the 2 characters was off the charts... Ali Dean has become one of my go to authors when I want a sports book! Amazing through and through!" - Kim, Goodreads Review

"WOW! First I have to give a disclaimer, never start any Ail Dean book in the middle of the week. Nothing will get done and you will not sleep until the book is finished. ALWAYS read on the weekend! Kick was by far my favorite book by Ali Dean, and I have read all of her books. Kick, the character, was extremely complex. She is such a wounded soul that you can't do anything but hope that she sees herself like everyone else sees her." - Jennifer, Goodreads Review

"Once again, Ali Dean knocks it out of the park. Falling in love with Kick's character in The Line Below, I'm so glad that she got her own book. While I won't get into any spoilers, I will say that this is definitely one of Dean's most mature books yet and Kick and Jack's chemistry is off the charts, and I think they may be some of my favourite characters yet! If you're a fan of Dean's past work, then you'll absolutely love Kick." - Angie, Goodreads Review

"I LOVED LOVED LOVED every part of this story. I devoured this. What Kick goes through and how she gets to the other end of it only makes her a stronger person and made her relationship even stronger. I LOVE Jack too. His persistence and love for Kick, *sigh. LOVE HIM. This story touches on some very important and real life issues we as women face. With tears in my eyes, shaking my head and telling Kick it's wasn't her fault *sigh......I could not put this down. Forgiveness starts within yourself. Please give this a chance. I promise you, you will love it." - Ann Marie of Wicked Women Book Blog

"The hidden cracks in Kick Spark's facade were realistic, endearing, vulnerable. Her struggle to understand and accept herself and who she is becoming was wonderfully written and an absolute pleasure to read. The nuances, twists and turns along the way in Jack and Kicks story on individual levels and as a couple, held my attention, and made me want to know more, root for them and Ali Dean really delivered - Bravo!" - A Book Obsessed Brit

":I really loved Kick and Jack's story. The chemistry between these two is off the charts. I honestly cannot wait to go back and read more of Ali's work. I loved watching these characters grow through out this book. This is a must read. This is a must read guys!" - Laid Back Book Bitches

"I must say I always enjoy Ali's books, but this one blew me away. I think her writing style has matured with this book. I truly enjoyed Kick and all her insecurities and loved watching her evolve as the book progressed. Great read!" - Reyne , Goodreads Review

"I absolutely LOVED Kick in The Line Below and I couldn't wait to get her story! Dean did not disappoint with Kick and Jack! ... Beautiful story and with it my love for Kick and Ali's writing has grown!" - Patricia with Words We Love By Blog

    I really enjoyed Kick's book, and I'm glad I grabbed it right after finishing Shay's. I thought it was nice to see parts of their stories overlap, and told from different perspectives. I loved getting to dive into who Kick really was a little more.
    Her story is great. Super relatable. Hot, sweet, goofy, and just a solid story.

    Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2018
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    A cautionary tale of non-consent wrapped in a fluffy fleece blanket of first romance. The mother in this series is deeply irritating and her daughters never learn how to have a conversation with her. Fun reading, at times. I wish Jack's voice had come from texts, phone calls and in-person conversations, rather than his own two chapters, which put Kick's story on the back burner. In the end, I like and admire Jack but don't care too much about reading him in the first person. I would have liked to have read a series of Kick's blog posts -- is she snarky, sweet, critical, clever? I'm not sure the ending had to be wrapped up with a perfect satin bow but I may be stepping on religious beliefs/toes.

    I really enjoyed the story of Kick and Jack. A young couple who had chemistry from the beginning. I enjoyed Kick discovering how much she deserves love and I enjoyed Jack being the one to love her wholeheartedly! A great story with great characters and an awesome plot.

    I have read many of this author's books and enjoyed most of the ones I've read. As an older reader and mother, I had a hard time identifying, liking or sympathizing with Kick in this book. I felt like Kick made every bad decision that I hope my daughters will never make lol. So maybe I am not the target audience for this book but overall I love Ali Dean's work. This one just didn't make the grade for me.

    She was a.party girl ,no strings ,no attachments until she met the rockstar on the rise. He made her want more than a "hook-up" A meaningful love story with unlikely characters with depth and challenges. I really enjoyed this fast moving romance with chemistry.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A 'love is worthy' type of read
    Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2019
    Format: Kindle
    Lydia 'Kick' Sparks has always loved the power of control, and the state of being in control enables her to be strong and unbreakable. Being beautiful and popular, she knows that love isn't in the cards for her. Promiscuity is something she has enjoyed, no strings attached. It's always been her way or no way at all, until one night she meets the handsome Jack Kingston. Drawn to her personality, Jack is instantly attracted to Kick and how she embodies this appeal of energy he's never sensed in any other. He's captivated but yet cannot abide her special rules so their night of bonding is stalled and her awestruck by his abrupt denial. Seeking more than a one night stand, Jack wants love and a relationship with Kick so she works harder on eliminating his hold on her which leads to a night she pushes him beyond limit. After proving she can move onward, she pursues a night of hooking up until she realizes she can't and it's too late with her state of drinking. Waking up the next morning in regret, she barely remembers and she is overcome with guilt. She fails her swim meets and decides to change her way of thinking, and still holds her guilt in secret. Six months later, she meets up with Jack at a music festival that he and his band are performing at. Neither can deny what they feel for each other, and they decide to be together. Their love is fragile when she meets the guy who she regrets meeting, and fears will destroy her relationship with Jack. Insecure about her relationship with Jack, she avoids any run-ins with the piano guy since he's substituting in Jack's band. Fear of losing Jack, she is overtaken by anxieties that he may never trust and want her ever again until he finds out from the piano guy himself. Deciding to confront Kick, Jack learns the truth and realizes how much lack of support and inability to trust consumes Kick that he sets out to prove to her that she is truly worthy of love.

    I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

    Love the Sparks twins and what a cool name Kick Spark is. She is a pretty cool person too though obviously with her own journey to go on and issues to overcome. Loved Jack, he is such a good guy and so wonderful with Kick. Was great to see Shae and a Jett again too as well as all the other fantastic support characters. Well written book with good storyline and rich in-depth characters

    3.0 out of 5 stars An okay book
    Reviewed in Australia on May 11, 2019
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    This was an okay book. I didn’t really like Kick. She was too aggressive at the start and I was a little confused as to why she really wanted. I did like her transformation but I felt the stuff with Nolan, her realisation, came out of the blue to excuse her actions. What happened is never okay, but more framework needed to be laid so it didn’t look so convenient.
    I liked Jack. I loved that he was so in touch with his emotions and what he wanted.
    He’s the best part of this book. It’s all over the place. I felt like it didn’t really know where it was going, or what it wanted. The time skipping wasn’t great for me either. I would’ve liked to have seen more in those periods.
    It says it can be read as a stand-alone, as I did, but I don’t think it’s best read this way. All in all, this isn’t a great book, and not one I would recommend.
