Swagger A Milwaukee Dragons Novel edition by Liz Lincoln Contemporary Romance eBooks

As much as I’m loving this series, I’m really not a fan of the covers. The bodies of the men used are amazing, but the poses just seem awkward and unnatural. So as with On the Line, the first book in the Milwaukee Dragons series, don’t judge a book by its cover.

Liz Lincoln really has her meet cute moments down. The clumsy embarrassment and instant attraction. I love it! I really cannot wait to read more by this author.

Bree is such a relatable character. I’m sure most of us haven’t gotten our PhD in physics, but her emotions and anxieties and self-doubts…all those things make her so down to earth. On the other hand, Marcus is a high paid, highly recognized, professional athlete. Yet the author made him very relatable, too. He has the same doubts as us “normal folks” and the same issues with his parents as a lot of people have. Marcus is really quite down to earth. Although Bree could see that pretty quickly, she still had a hard time thinking she was anything special to Marcus. How could she be when he could have anyone he wanted and she’s a mess? But Marcus NEVER did anything to make her feel that way, Bree did that all on her own.

The issues Bree has to deal with at the university with her adviser are all issues that are so in the spotlight these days. The author handled them really well without turning the story into a lecture. She had her characters explain to the guys in their lives why their “trying to help” wasn’t always the best thing and that, in itself, is sexist. It was great to see the give and take Bree had with her friends and their willingness to be open to what their women friends had to say.

I’m excited to see who will get the next story in this series. As I said before, I’m loving this author and this series. The connections her characters have (both romantic and friends) are amazing. The emotions I experience when both Bree and Marcus speak to their parents is a testament to the author’s skill. I was so invested in those relationships and conversations.

Swagger A Milwaukee Dragons Novel edition by Liz Lincoln Contemporary Romance eBooks Reviews

Rating 3.5 Stars

Sports romances are among my favorites. So, when I heard the second Dragons book was going to feature a STEM heroine, I was really excited.
Pro Marcus had everything I look for in a hero. I especially loved it, when he would go through his memory index to try and figure out what he did wrong, and the way he attempted to curb his hero tendencies in order to respect Bree's desires to "save" herself. And bonus! He's a closest nerd, who engages Bree in quite the Star Wars - Star Trek debate.

• Pro I liked the common ground that Lincoln laid down between Marcus and Bree. They were both rather successful, but not in the eyes of their families, which is really sad, but at least they had each other.

• Con The ending was ok, but I would have liked a little more for these two. I really, really like Marcus, and he deserved more. The good news is, that this is a series, and we can always get some awesome life update on Marcus and Bree in a later book.

• Con I was a little surprised that the couple from the first book were so far removed from this story. Usually there is more of a connection between the current and previous MCs. I think I let out an exhale, when we finally got a mention of them. I just expect more updating on past couples in companion books.

• Pro The set up was great. Most of this sports romance took place off the field, because Marcus was recovering from an injury, but Marcus' "fragile" state worked well in the story, and made it more believable.

• Pro Marcus and Bree were a fun coupling. The chemistry was great, and each brought out the best side of each other. I really enjoyed watching their romance blossom.

Overall If you're in it for the romance, you will enjoy this one, because there is no doubt in my mind, Marcus will win your heart.
I've been meaning to try Liz Lincoln's Milwaukee Dragons series ever since it was announced but based on how much I enjoyed this second book, I'll be catching up on the first book very shortly. The story really leans into the tension of "we really like each other but you're my professor/student so we can't do anything." This was a really fun read but it also made me surprisingly emotional in places.

Bree is finishing up her PhD in physics, which impressed me in and of itself. Her dedication to and passion for her career was admirable and I'm pretty sure if I'd ever had her as my teacher, I'd have had an entirely different experience with my science classes. I really appreciated learning more about what life is like for someone who is writing their dissertation, as well as the specific roadblocks women in the STEM field can face. Her advisor was the literal WORST and I wanted to throttle him any time he was in a scene. It was enraging to watch Bree experience sexism and misogyny and see the very real way it could and did negatively affect her career.

Marcus is an absolute dreamboat. He's such a good guy and he was always making me smile. It was so interesting to read a sports romance in which the athlete hero/heroine is sidelined by an injury. It's a real threat for any athlete but I can't think of many romances than address it head on like Swagger. In this instance, Marcus has to sit out a whole season while he heals from his knee injury. He and his teammates have a really honest discussion about how many years they think they'll still be able to play and what will come next after their football careers are over. The book also focuses on CTE and the research being done, which is such a great thing to highlight. Plus great diversity representation for an NFL team! Just like real life!

Bree and Marcus are friends first and foremost. They have a good amount in common and I loved watching them get to know each other. I also liked how they could support each other in various capacities but especially the way they both had unsupportive families. It was frustrating to see how their respective families treated them and I was really glad they both had found families who were in their corners.

They have excellent chemistry and because of the teacher/student dynamic, their interactions were fraught. I had no idea if they would make it through the semester! I wish this element had gone in a different direction but it didn't detract from my enjoyment too much.

I really liked how Marcus tried to take care of Bree but also how this impacted her insistence on independence. I could see both points of view so clearly and it was interesting to watch this play out in their relationship. There were just so many interesting threads in the story! I'm definitely looking forward to more from this author.
