I devoured this book! I really loved Alexa Martin’s perspective of the football world - it adds authenticity to the story. Knowing that MMC TK Moore is based on Travis Kelce really helped me imagine what he was like 😉

I loved FMC Poppy’s personality, and her fierce protectiveness over her son Ace.
I was really disappointed in TK’s response to Poppy when she told him about Ace (but later we find out his anger is more a symptom of head injuries from his football career, so while not necessarily excusable, it is explainable), but once he sees Ace and knows it’s his kid, he does a complete 180 and is so happy to have the chance to be in Ace’s life (and Poppy’s too). I was glad that he wasn’t mad at Poppy about keeping Ace from him for so long, and that he rightfully blamed his mother for what happened.

I swooned during the first sex scene, when TK explains how much he loves Poppy’s body and the changes that have happened over the years. He’s excited to see her stretch marks, and how her body has changed. I think most women out there want to hear that from their partner. Even though they’d been apart for so long, and both misunderstanding the other’s absence, they have loved each other all this time and it’s just so sweet.


This book also highlights the dangers of football. There are multiple discussions about concussions, CTE, and other brain trauma related injuries.
In the end, we see TK retire from football due to his injuries and to be with Poppy and Ace.


I really enjoyed this one and will likely be adding Alexa Martin’s other novels to my TBR list!
