Since I haven't been able to watch much of football season, this was a nice taste of it--minus all the mid game advertisements haha.

It's a fun book--3.5 stars cause it's fun but I'll probably never read it again.

 
Fake Dating to I Love You. Throwing the National Championship to prove a point.

Really enjoyed Beckett as a female character's name. Reminded me of being down South and the naming practices (wouldn't have expected it for a NY born and raised character).

The Callahan family is fun minus the dad Richard. Love Sandra the mom, she knows what's up.

Darryl was an ass. Hope he got expelled or suspended. 

Interested to see how much more of Bex and James we'll see in the rest of the series.

     This was a deeper new adult romance than I'm used to. There was more backstory to the main characters and they had more baggage than many new adult romances, which I liked. It tackled a lot of mental health and abusive ex-partner issues. 
    However, James wasn't completely likable and had anger issues. As well as a kind of obsessive attachment thing going on with his partners, where it was ALL about them and nothing else in his life. Making even the main relationship not completely healthy. 
    The male narrator wasn't great the female narrator was good. She did a great job with different tones for different characters.
     Overall it was a good book with a lot of emotional depth. I do plan to continue the series.

I really enjoyed this book and found it to be a quick read (less than a day to finish on my Kindle!) Has the touch her and I’ll kill you vibes. Coming off of reading Icebreaker, I wanted another easy college sports romance and this did not disappoint!

I did not like the resolve, as it felt a bit rushed. But despite that, I enjoyed the characters and world that was built - so I look forward to reading the other 2 books in the Beyond the Play series by her!

This book is ok. Like the meet cute was fun and the initial flirtation was interesting but after they got together it became clear they were going to stay that way despite every red flag possible. Even the climax was predictable af. Miscommunication and sugary sweet boring romance strikes again. I wanted to like it but honestly its fine but forgettable.

Cute, quick, light read, and I love how hard James fell for Bex.
