Hail Mary by Kandi Steiner
4.0

Hail Mary is the fourth book in the Red Zone Rivals series and I read it in one sitting. It is a part of the series but can be read as a standalone. I didn't read the previous books because they weren't really my cup of tea, but I read the description of this one and I was sold.

This is a football romance filled with tropes like forced proximity, childhood crush to heartbreak to second chance, and a bit of enemies to lovers from our FMCs POV. The plot is filled with swoon-worthy moments that will make you squeal and blush like a teenage girl. The relationship between Mary and Leo is so wholesome and does have its ups and downs.

The one thing that bothered me in the book was how we didn't see the characters play video games together. Yes, the playing of them was mentioned but there was always a bit of a time skip to when they finished playing.

Overall, this book was a great pallet cleanser from my hockey romance era. It is worth reading and does have a bit of spice in it.
