Oh my goodness this one was HOT. Sariah just know how to right them! This one still fits the clean criteria but still gave you all the filler to make it HoT!  Run an grab it and Happy Clean Reading!! 

Synopsis:
Ambitious intern Ashton Bailey is about to get closer to her dream of being a sports announcer. All she has to do is prove that too-perfect-to-be-true NFL quarterback Evan Dawson isn’t quite as wholesome as his contract requires. It’s also the perfect opportunity to get delicious payback on the boy who broke her teenage heart. At least that’s her plan. But she forgot just how easy it is to crush on the irresistible charmer. #OhNoNotAgain.

Evan has a knack for getting through the opposing team’s defenses, and he won’t let this tall, redheaded knockout be the exception. He’s determined to make things right between them and earn back Ashton’s trust—and maybe her heart, too.

Then the press mistakenly announces their engagement, and Ashton and Evan find themselves going along with the lie. Now the whole world is watching as Ashton flirts with attraction and disaster. But while revenge is sweet, it just might come at the cost of something sweeter still.

I didn't love the heroine's motives in this book, but I was sucked in by Sariah Wilson's witty banter and that was it! I enjoyed this book, it was a sweet and clean romance, that I'd rate PG for kissing.

A great story on finding the one who completes you and falling in love on the way. A great addition to the series and definitely worth a one click buy.

This being the first time I ever read Sariah Wilson, I can honestly say that I was sufficiently suprised and enjoyed the author's writing style and plot. From the heroine's determination to become a sports broadcaster, especially when faced by her difficult past and fighting for what's right, to the hero's redemption over his past mistakes. This was an extremely heartfelt romance from beginning to end. Definitely one I recommend everyone pick up today!

This was not my favorite. It was well written and interesting, but did not reel me in like the two previous books.

I loved the first two of this series of books. #Awestruck is the third in the "struck" series.  Sariah Wilson is one of my "I know I'm in for a treat" authors.   #Awestruck is a fun read.  However, I didn't love it as much as the others.  ( I adored the others, so put that in the mix.)

I enjoyed the first couple books in Sariah Wilson's series, but #Awestruck is by far my favorite!

I loved Evan and Ashton, even when they were doing frustrating things. Ashton felt believable as someone who really had been hurt in the past and was slow to trust Evan really is a good guy. I didn't always like how she handled things, but her character did show some growth as the story progressed. Evan was likeable, sweet, and a genuinely good guy.

I loved all the details Sariah added about the Portland football team. From Evan's nickname to the team and stadium names/nicknames to the games she included in the book. As a football fan I appreciated all the work she did to make it fun and believable.

The story is pretty fast paced and an easy read. The secondary characters also add a lot of humor, especially Ashton's family.

While this is the third in the series it can be read as a complete standalone!

This book was just kinda meh for me. I kept hoping it was going to pick up and it just didn't. The characters weren't relatable to me and I just didn't cAre about them or what happened to them. 

3 Stars

Romance, clean; Series but stand alone read; PG-13 for clean read rating
Sariah Wilson always uses wit, sarcasm, sass, and great plot twists and turns that keep you wanting more.
Ashton and Evan's story, another high profile H story, is a second chance romance that will have you tuning pages and losing sleep. Ashton and Evan's emotional heartfelt, and sassy story, full of family, secrets, hurts, healing and most importantly chemistry, friendship, attraction and love is cleverly and wittily told. There are fun scenes where you can feel the characters emotions, see the attraction between these two flawed and hurting but honest characters. Great family and team dynamics, fun NFL setting, with a dash of games and tension from them, and most of all just Ashton and Evan. S.W. knows how to turn a story, and make your heart soar. Can't wait to read her next book! Team Ashton and Evan for sure for me. I always say this after each book but I think this is my favorite of this series.

We are introduced to the main players of this story pretty quickly.  We have Ashton the intern and her evil boss Brenda who both have a loathing for "Awesome"  Evan Dawson.  I felt pulled into the story just that quickly.  Ashton made for an interesting heroine with her family as great supporting characters, and challenging Dynamics.  Evan is the starting QB with the Portland "Lumberjacks" NFL team with a squeaky clean reputation that Brenda wants her news station to disprove.  Ashton knew Evan in high school, he was her older sister's friend and she had a huge crush on him but her not only broke her heart, he also humiliated her.  Getting to know Ashton and read about her getting to know Evan was All The Feels!  Ms Wilson creates characters that I can relate to and puts them in places and situations that help them grow in real ways.  Loved this book.

I adore this book. I love the restraint that Ashton shows against her boss When everyone else would have just sucker punched her. I do recommend this book. It’s a sweet read and makes you fall in love with characters as if you really knew them.

Could Sariah get any better? I really love all the wonderful stories she writes about, from the movie star, to the football player, from time travel to a princess in Monterra.
Every story has a special spark of magic and Awesturck isn't one to disappoint. 
I highly recommend it.

Sariah is one of my favorite authors.. I'll admit, I was a bit unsure about this book at first. The heroine, Ashton, was so whiny. Get over your years-old grudge already! Happily, the story only got better, and it wasn't long before I was hooked. As per the norm for Sariah's books, the chemistry between the hero and heroine was off the charts. The romance is clean, but I wouldn't necessarily define it as sweet. There's no sex, but it's spicy enough to make you shiver with anticipation. Highly recommended!

Beyond the awful flashbacks to Colton’s terrible season on the Bachelor (truly, my kingdom to never have a show dissect virgin football players again), this was a delight. I did find the forgiveness on the heroine’s side a little too easily given/the hero a little too flawless, but they were cute soooo.

Book Review- Awestruck by Sariah Wilson

Aston wants to be a sports announcer.  She works as an Intern for ISEN that can make it happen.  However, her boss wants her to prove that Evan Dawson is a liar.  Aston is asked to be underhanded and conniving to get the story.  I love how she is extremely angry at Evan and wants revenge.  I totally understand since her life in high school was affected in a devastating way.
The author reveals how she had been holding on to the anger and letting it affect her adult life.  Ashton comes up with a plan to get the truth.  I love how she comes face to face with Evan at a party.  It was hilarious what she was doing and how it unfolds.  Then Evan decides to plant himself in different aspects of her life.  He exasperates her at every turn.  
Evan is determined to apologize to her and make things up to her.  He is at her every turn.  She truly wants to kill he at times.  It is fun to read.  She is a great character.  She also realizes that she can’t do what she is expected to do.  Her true integrity comes to light.  The ending was an emotional journey for the characters but a great read.  I give it a 4 out of 5.

This was a different (in a good way) kind of story. Aston had dreams and was willing to do (almost) anything to achieve them. Evan had a reputation and goal he wanted to protect as well. I loved their history and how they came back together in the present. Their backstory enhanced the present day so much that it was just a fabulous story!
