⋆｡°✩You’ve given a lot to the people you love. Let us return the favor.⋆｡°✩

While I can appreciate that Kandi Steiner has a way to make her books extremely entertaining and fast to read and I would definitely recommend this book as a 'palet cleanser",it didn't personally work for me as a romance. While I could tell and recognise that Zeke and Riley were a cute couple and complimentary for each other I didn't really care about them as individuals. Also I find the build up soo much more entertainin  and enjoyable thatn the actual sex in romance ,because it really highlights the chemistry,the attraction, the yearning that the characters can't help but feel for each other (and we love yearning in this household) and also it makes it feel satisfying,like a trivial moment in the romantic development of the main couple when they do actually sleep together and that's why I don't typically enjoy friends with benefits stories and this was fiiiled with smut (which I don't loove reading so that probably contributed in why I don't love this book). It just felt like Zeke and Rileys relationship was very sex-centric (if that makes sense) and used their constant sleeping together as a replacement for an emotional development and connection between them. The third act conflict was objectively stupid but I've come to expect that when I read romance at this point. Lastly GAVIN FOR PRESIDENT FR, WE LOVE GAVIN

Not going to lie I read this for some context for Blind Side. HOWEVER, that does not mean I did not enjoy this because I ate it up. This book reminded me of She's The Man but add a dash of enemies to lovers, football, and she has no need to hide her gender. There wasn't too much happening so it was an easy read but there were times I skimmed some parts at the same time. The banter was so fun and ZEKE?! All of a sudden I want to go on a museum date. Someone take me please and thank you
