Blurb
After Kova’s devastating betrayal, Adrianna must become her
own champion and place her Olympic dream ahead of all else. In doing so, she
ignores the warning signs as both the extreme training and unending heartbreak
begin to take their toll.
There is no atoning for what Kova did. The vow he made
cannot be undone. With boundaries set and lines clearly defined, Kova will now
have to be the one to relinquish control in order to regain Adrianna’s trust.
Though the dynamics shift between coach and gymnast, nothing
can prepare them for the agonizing truth that is to come. Fighting for a dream
becomes only half the battle when Adrianna’s fate is sealed, leaving them both
with their biggest challenge yet.
** Author note **
Much like a student-teacher novel, the Off Balance series is
a highly forbidden romance story between a gymnast and a coach. If you find
this genre of novels to be not to your liking in any way, shape, or form, this
series is not for you.
This novel is purely fictional and does not reflect on
real-life events. Gymnastics is a hands-on sport that involves many hours of
close contact with an instructor. My main goal was to focus not only on the
beauty of the sport in detail, but also what goes on behind closed doors and
how working with a coach for nearly forty hours a week can evolve into
something more. This story is meant to push you, to take you outside of your
comfort zone. I hope you take the plunge with an open mind before making
judgment.
The Off Balance series is intended only for readers 18
years of age and older. Reader discretion is advised.

Darra's Review:
Release is not like the First two of the Balance series. It is so much more. My heart strings were pulled and I was left with so many questions.
I loved Ria the most in this book. Sometimes I thought she was weak and too pliable in the first two books. She is also 16 so I get it. She became the girl I wished for the entire series. However Kova is a new man and you finally see what has been missing from the beginning. Compassion. I've always sightly hated Kova and that part of the reason why I was concerned about this book. Would he the same guy I have read before?
Both Ria and Kova have evolved and it is perfection. However you will end with a lump in your throat and heart broken for different reasons than before. The ending, Lucia you are killing me.
I finished this book days ago but I can not move on. This book is replaying in my head over and over and I can't move on. Release moved me and my heart is holding by a thread. I need more Lucia!
I rate the book 4.8 out of 5.
