Final Score (Vegas Aces: The Coach Book 5)

4.5 ⭐️Such a cracking, emotional finale to The Coach series... I have thoroughly enjoyed being along for the ride with Lincoln, Jolene and her adorable son.Past secrets were revealed and reconciliation was hard fought and mostly won.I agree with other readers that this would be better in a trilogy format, rather than spread out over the 5 book series that Lisa Suzanne is known for.

Gosh with all the surprises and secrets being revealed, things don't look good for Lincoln and Jolene.Linc is really a great man. He will not give up after finally getting her back in his life. I love that about him. He is the perfect boyfriend.They both have come such a long way, the trials they faced would break anyone.Their love has to be stronger. The way he accepts and loves Jonah just absolutely melts my heart!!!Jolene does not give in easily though. What can Linc do to make her believe him?Then he is faced with another question, why is he treated so differently from his brothers by their father? Could it be he isn't his real father? If not who is?That ending was absolutely perfect and sweetness overload!!! And I am eating it all up.Lisa really tests her characters but rewards them just as much with the love and spice.This book doesn't just have the drama, angst, heartbreak, love and spice but also you get a vivid picture of the games being played. Like you are there cheering them on.

Final Score the finale to author Lisa Suzanne’s series Vegas Aces: The Coach is here to deliver the conclusion to Lincoln and Jolene’s story once and for all.With no time having past since book 4 Overtime's cliffhanger, Lisa had jumping right back in with Lincoln and Jolene final journey.Despite Final Score being the finale, that didn’t mean there wasn’t going to be drama, angst, tension and growing suspense with secrets being kept still and then spilled. Particularly from some twists that came out of the woodworks surprisingly, making for an intense ride.Not only had Lincoln and Jolene’s journey have them venturing on a long and winded road, considering where they started in book one Rivalry.It led to a journey that was made up on mending broken relations as well as reconnecting, with everything out in the open, the good, the bad and the ugly.Ultimately resulting in Lincoln and Jolene reaffirming and reestablishing their relationship amongst ones with family and friends too.Due to all of the fixing and bonding Lisa delivered an emotionally charged whirlwind, all from different moments calling for different feelings being expressed throughout.Whilst Final Score was a good and enjoyable read, and wrapped everything up with all the loose ends, from giving us all the answers to the questions asked throughout.Unfortunately there were some things that had me not so keen on.The first being the series feeling a little too long for the length that it was, IMO it could’ve been comprised into 3 books, possibly even 4 books, as opposed to five given how it seemed to drag out unnecessary.Another was some of the loose ends seemed to be rushed with how quickly it was tied up, as if only done this way for the sake of giving answers, like in regards to Rivera.Also there didn’t always seem to be much character growth between each of the books when it came to Lincoln and Jolene. And considering there were 5 books, it had me expecting more from them individually.Final Score ended up being sweet, cute and heartwarming read, especially given the HEA Lincoln and Jolene were finally able to achieve.Author Lisa Suzanne did a good job, particularly with that bonus epilogue that was spicy and adorable all at the same time.Can’t wait to see what she will release next, because it that it will be on TBR list.

After that cliffhanger of the last book, Lincoln and Jolene have a lot to overcome once again.While Jolene works through her feelings and tries to decide if she can ever trust Lincoln again she’s also got a big secret of her own that she needs to tell him about.Lincoln is determined not to loose Jolene again and he does everything in his power to help her with her custody problems with her ex, he wants his family and he isn’t giving up without a fight.I love the relationship between these two and the love Linc has for Jonah.This was the perfect ending to this series.

Final Book in this series and O.M.G I have no idea how Lincoln and Jolie are ever going to find their way back to each other after the betrayal and truths that came out in the previous book.I was so nervous going into this book, I think this series has been one of the most push, pull, ups and downs, tumultuous books I have read from this author. I have loved every moment!!I have loved this series and the characters, but I also felt it was a little more predictable, their beginning and their ending were their own, but you could also feel similarities with others within the "Vegas World".Lincoln and Jolie are definitely one of my favorites, the kids, the sneakiest villains, (who didn't get what they deserved in my eyes!) lol and both Lincoln and Jolie's determination to not let the world tear them apart a second time!!

Wow another great read. This final book in the five part series didn’t disappoint. Lots of drama and suspense with secrets being revealed from all sides. The drama kept going and you really felt for the characters, hoping their fight for a HEA would work out in the long run. Definitely recommend.

The final book in the coach series. what a final book it was! The whole series was outstanding from start to finish definitely one of the bestIt definitely wasn’t plain sailing and there was times I wasn’t sure how Lisa would bring the couple back together but as always Lisa always provides the best Happily ever afters!Highly recommend this series another amazing one from Lisa

Loved this series and the final book didn’t disappoint.Lots of emotional ups & downs and secrets right up till the endLoved the HEA that they so deserved, you felt for the characters throughout and the way the story started , unfolded before your eyes and finished were seem less throughout the seriesWell worth reading , you won’t want to put it down

Lisa Suzanne never fails to enlighten, exhilarated and entertain readers with her writing. The entire Vegas Aces series has been excellent and this last series featuring "The Coach" did not disappoint. Lincoln and Jolene's journey was definitely a rough one with their family history and many other obstacles that has the reader questioning of their journey was just too exhausting and even worth it. But as always in Lisa's stories, even when the complications seem insurmountable and you as a reader are stressed out and want to choke some of the characters, you ultimately just need to read the next line to be pulled back on to the rollercoaster and continue the ride. That is because you just can't wait to read what happens next. For me this series gave me insights into so many different characters with different backgrounds and issues, riveting story lines, many different relationships, both challenging ones and sweet ones, insights into a City I've never visited as well as a wealth of information about a sport that is not my first love and is play a little differently here in Canada. Add a great love story and it's more writing magic from Lisa's own or laptop. One of the best sport series I have read. I would highly recommend this series and that will pull you in to reading whatever this author writes. Enjoy!

Ladies and gentlemen this author has done it again. She has kept us coming back again and again after each and every book in the series with how incredibly invested we are with the characters. We came back each and every time even when we are frustrated as heck with the way the book is going because we e need not want but need to know what will happen with Jolene and Lincoln. Is he take us through incredibly high lows with them and super high highs just to bring us back down. These two have been through the worst and the best of moments and we have been right along with them throughout the entire journey. I am officially addicted to the football series and I need more. The story had me entranced and super invested in their journey so I kept turning page after page to know what happened next. We were left on the edge of our seats at the end of each book and eager to get our hands on the next one. We get so much twists and turns along the way but we are at the end zone and it is the touch down we were all eager for. I absolutely loved this entire series and would highly recommend.

I just loved this read. I always look forward to another release by Lisa. Her plots and story lines always keep you guessing.

I pretty much read this book straight through. What a wonderful series! It is a a second chance romance that packs the heat, has lots of secrets (that eventually all come out), a handsome Coach who follows his heart and against all odds, gets the girl and the elusive happily ever after.

Wow and wow!! Lincoln and Jolene's love story touched me in so many ways. It had everything the adventures, the love that made them stronger together and working together to beat the odds.The emotions of hurt pain joy disappointment sorrow passion etc. They definitely had sparks like fireworks!!!Karma came in full force to the well deserved people. Great having Linclon's Mom be there for him and knowing she was on his side.The struggles that got them together and never giving up. The support from friends. Loved having Jack in this series. Left the family feud behind.Lisa you did it again fabulous series. Thank you.Look forward to your next book.
