Zeke & Riley were everything!!
The tension from the beginning had me screaming! This book really benefitted from dual pov because getting to see how Zeke really felt about Riley, while she was so focused on hating him was so well done. The overall banter between the characters had me cracking up! Not only between the main two but also with the side characters like Riley's brother Gavin and the rest of the football team.
The overall connection between Zeke and Riley was so raw and real! They both had dealt with a lot in their pasts, and are still learning to overcome them, but Riley specifically really needed to relearn how to trust people, especially Zeke. After her brother, Gavin's, accident Riley closed herself off a lot. I loved seeing how she truly felt comfortable with Zeke and had that connection despite how much she wanted to deny it. Zeke really had me swooning throughout the book, but overall their relationship brought out all the feelings!
I loved that this book included the invisible disability of dyslexia and how much the character struggled with that in silence. I also loved the inclusion of a female (Riley) being in a predominately male sport of football! She needed to deal a lot with side comments and overall how people viewed her on the team, but she was very strong-willed and never cared about what others were saying because she knew why she was there and she had a passion for the sport just as much as the guys did.
In my opinion, the characters read & act a lot older than they are (18). While reading the book I forgot about their ages until it was brought up, so I do wish they were just originally written as an older age but it didn't bother me much.
LOVEDDD this book and definitely want to continue with the series and follow the other football players! Is there a book out there for Gavin?! I sure hope so, or at least in the works!

I really liked this as an introduction to the characters and the series. I haven't read too many football romances, but I enjoyed this one immensely. Riley and Zeke were a bit brother's best friend and a bit enemies to lovers with a whole lot of forced proximity and it was delightful. I also loved how Riley was playing with the boys no problem. It was nice to see the female main character being involved in sports just as much as the male main character. There were some really light moments also swirled in with some heavier and deeper topics that I thought were brought up quite well. The spice was fun and I loved their back and forth reward system with each other. Gavin and Riley's relationship as twins was also really nice and heartfelt and I liked their little twin things. This was cute and I'm super excited to read the rest in the series.
