The Final Score by Jaci Burton

4.0

I was pretty excited when I heard this book was going to feature Nathan, and that he would be stepping into his father's shoes as QB. I feel like I have watched Nathan grow up, and I was excited for him to have his romance.

I really enjoyed this book. I like friends-to-more stories, and Nathan and Mia had great chemistry and a really wonderful friendship. The "drama" part of the story was not that major, and I was quite ok with that, because the bulk of this story focused on the friendship turning into more, and I would rather read more of that, to be honest. The ending was a little abrupt, but that's ok, because I know we will get an update in another book.

As always, Burton did a great job incorporating past characters, and there were quite a few here, as Mia is part of the Cassidy dynasty. We even got to attend a wedding! I also loved getting to know Jamal better, because I love a good bromance, and him and Nathan definitely have a great friendship.

Overall: Burton delivered a sexy, sweet friends-to-lovers romance, which was fun to watch blossom.
