This book was really cute. James and Bex were adorable together. Their chemistry was fire. The fake dating/tutoring storyline was a lot of fun mixed with some emotional moments. NA sports romance fans should enjoy this book.

It was a really sweet book with the right amount of spice, which was hot as hell! But I loved the relationship between the two main characters, def's couple goals right there. The problems were realistic, though easily and conveniently solved. But overall an entertainment and quick read!!

A fairly short, lighthearted, predictable romance. The writing isn't great and the characters are bland. There's not a lot of plot or chemistry. Medium spice.

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.

Meh. Fine. Good it didn’t fall into tropes of third act breakup. But it felt immature and oddly paced.

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.
