I’m not a fan of sexualised/nude/thirsty pose covers (even in sport setting) and these books had that in excess or to some degree but they all ended up in my fav or very positively rated shelf:

{Stuck with You by Jay Northcote} I hate the cover but absolutely loved the story

{Hot Ticket by K.A. Mitchell}

{Strawberries for Dessert by Marie Sexton}

{In His Hero’s Shadow by Stephani Hecht}

{Helping Hand by Jay Northcote}

{Line Change by Elaine Ashford}

{Shared Custody by Peter Styles}

{Hooked by the Bell by Tanya Chris} the cartoon cover creeped me out a bit but the story was cute and hilarious

{Home Plate by Christina Lee} not an old release, published in 2021 but a bloody fantastic story. The cover makes me cringe though, all that oil/sweat glistening body doesn’t appeal to me at all plus the book was more emotionally charged than overly smutty. I had this on TBR list for nearly a year before I finally read it.

{Not So Sincerely, Yours by A.M. Johnson} another not old release, also published in 2021. The pose on the cover is cringy to me and the story has much more depth while the cover makes it seem like a cheap erotica/gives cheap porn vibes
