Marissa, 25, had broken up with her cheating fiancé and moved to an apartment where her landlord had a list of 10 commandments for the apartment. Ryland/Ry, 28, owns the apartment off his penthouse and he was just fired from his soccer team in England. The rules are crazy and Marissa and her friends laugh about them but Rylan leaves post-it notes for her when she breaks a commandment. However, when she falls at work and badly sprains her ankle he is right there to help her in any way he can. She realizes not only is he handsome and well built but he is also patient, kind, considerate, with family issues. They grow closer playing a video game but Marissa realizes he will be leaving again to return to soccer. Will their relationship develop into more than just friendship? Can Marissa and Ryland ind happiness together? I thoroughly loved this story and highly recommend it. A Grind Offense apparently requires lots of repetitive action to move forward and in this story it is Ryland working hard to win Marissa. The author did a fantastic job developing the characters and showing their internal conflicts. Ryland had a difficult career decision to make that would ultimately effect both of them. I loved the humor and sarcasm in the book as well as the romance and friendships. The epilogue was a great ending.

Ryland and Marissa lights this story up. Marissa is regrouping after dumping her cheating ex. She subleases an apartment that has a lot of rules which she proceeds to break by the sticky notes that she receives. There is a change when she injures herself and Rylan comes to her assistance. He is restructuring his life after being kicked off of the team he plays on. As these two spend time together feelings heats up. Will Ryland be the one to help her get over her cheating ex and possibly her path to a happily ever after. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
