I don’t even like football but I super enjoy this series.

4.5//I absolutely loved this book possibly even more than the first book! I loved the storyline and poppy was such a strong independent women! Ace was just the cutest and it was very interesting to see TK. This book had just the right amount of football, romance and of course drama.

I love this series :)

The second book was even better than the first. No hashtags in this book for those who were bothered by it in the first book. This is a second chance romance for another member of the Mustang’s team briefly mentioned in the first book, with a child the dad never knew about from the first chance. Super cute, steamy romance. At this point, I will buy anything this author puts out. Highly recommend!

I don't give a damn about football but love this series and also appreciate how the author creates a fun and exciting world while still addressing and acknowledging the real life tensions in the world whether it's racial tensions, economic struggles/tensions and of course CTE and safety. I cannot wait for the next one in the series later this fall!

Will I still be reading the third book when it comes out though? Yes.

I loved this new installment into the Playbook family. Poppy and TK had a relationship when they were in high school but secrets and lies tore them apart for 10 years. Poppy becomes a single parent and TK becomes a famous football player until they meet again one night. I liked that this story had some focus on the wives and girlfriends connected to the football league but mainly focused on Poppy and TK's relationship and things that they were journeying through. There was too much focus on TK's physical appearance and at times the plot direction seemed to just fall off. Otherwise, I really, really enjoyed this book and look forward to more books by Alexa Martin!

This specific video review will be included in the April 2019 wrap-up.

When I started this book I was sceptical because the 1st-person narration is usually not my thing, but oh boy was I wrong.

I liked seeing the world of motherhood, waitressing and baseball through Poppy's eyes. I think it made the whole book so much more memorable. I got hooked pretty fast and stopped noticing the narration style after the first few chapters.

Initially, I was a bit disappointed when the secrets between Poppy and TK got revealed and solved quickly. But I think that what made this book so amazing and absorbing was not their messy high school breakup. It was the process of them getting both of their worlds together and solving all the issues that come into their lives in the meantime.
