📚✨ ARC REVIEW ✨📚
Run the Play by @kaylee_ryan_author
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 (4.5/5 stars)

Thank you to Kaylee Ryan and @greyspromo for a free ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Rowan moved back to Nashville to escape an abusive ex, arriving with no family, no friends, and little hope. Since then, she’s built a found family with the football team she works for—until her ex is traded to the team.

Landry, a wide receiver, has been smitten with Rowan from the start. When he sees her ex hassling her, he steps in and declares himself her boyfriend. They agree to fake date to keep her ex away… but their undeniable connection and chemistry make the lines between fiction and reality blur.

This book was a freaking delight. Landry is the ultimate cinnamon roll, golden retriever hero — supportive of family and friends, always hosting cookouts (ALL the food!), and offering to lend a helping hand. When it comes to Rowan, he is gentle and patient, not wanting her to ever feel uncomfortable. He is also very protective, instinctively knowing when Rowan is in danger.

Rowan is strong and resilient, refusing to let her ex drive her away. She lowers her walls, letting in Landry and her found family, and holds tight to her true self.

Together, Landry and Rowan are perfect. They can be silly together (see their touchdown handshake), serious, sweet, and sexy (ALL the esses!). They are open with each other about their feelings at all times - all hail the king and queen of communication! Most importantly, Landry is a safe place for Rowan. I just love them!

I highly recommend Run the Play to anyone who wants a sweet and swoony romance with a strong couple who stand together against adversity.
