The Fouls We Make by Brooke O'Brien

5.0

I was so honoured to be chosen to Beta Read for Brooke, and this, her new book in the Brayson U series. I have not read football romance, nor anything from Brooke before (although is on my TBR) so am grateful that Brooke took a chance on me. And, thank you to Thorunn for thinking of me.

Now, what you want to know is, what did I think? Let's just get this out now, REED IS MINE!! OMFG he sits now in my stable of very select delicious book boyfriends because he is just absolutely everything. Reed and Tatum had met at her previous university, but after the end of her disastrous relationship (arsehole boyfriend, and truly he is ugly to the core), she impulsively takes up friends offer to move to Brayson U, and live with them until a dorm room is available. Well, Reed is also living there, but, Tatum has given up football players (and all men) and Reed has been warned by Tatum's brother to stay away.

Reed was intrigued from their first encounter months ago, and also wants to know why the sudden move to Brayson U, and why her walls are so bloody high. And, I am not wanting to give any spoilers away but to say this. There is some truely funny moments, that had me laughing out loud as I read this, and spice that had me looking for cold air (and it was winter when I read this here in NZ) and generally feeling all hot and flushed. Reed has some skills that OMFG. But, if you are recovering from a shit relationship and you need that man to show you, that they are not all arseholes, Reed is that guy. As someone who has not read any of the first two books, the book is so easily read and understood, and I easily could make sense of the other characters and how they fit into the storyline, and obviously that is important when books are touted as standalone. I now want and need all the books, as I want to know those other characters stories. I am officially football romance obsessed, and once again so honoured to be a Beta for Brooke going forward (I hope). Thank you Thank you THANK YOU. And, this definitely deserves more stars, I loved this. Oh, did I say Reed was mine......lol
