Past the Rush by Britt Stark is book one in the Crescent City Kings Football series and I loved this story. If you like sports and work romances, brothers best friend, second chance stories then you will love this book!! 

Lenna and Conrad have feelings for each other but are afraid to act on it since Conrad’s best friend is Lenna’s brother Thomas. One night their lives are changed, Lenna is left heartbroken and Conrad was no where to be found.

Thirteen years later, fate has brought them together after she had lost her job and her boyfriend in the same day and moves back home. Conrad just so happens to be traded to the Kings, the same team Lenna just got hired on to do their social media. Even though they have both changed in 13 years the one thing that hasn’t are their feelings and attraction they have for each other. 

Omg this ending had me so emotional and I don’t think I could’ve fallen for Connor any harder. This was a quick read that I wish was longer. I love Lenna and Conrad their characters were written so well. I cannot wait for the next book. I was given an ARC of this book for my honest thoughts and opinions.
