Ya know what? I had a great time.
That being said, there isn’t anything particularly special about this plot (just like every other sports romance) or the characters (regular ole college students) but it was all loveable and I enjoyed it! There was some depth to the story and I liked the way things turned out. And we love an MMC who encourages his woman’s dreams!
I’m not sure how James’ siblings could possibly top him but I’m definitely looking forward to the next book in the series.
Tropes:
Fake-Dating
College Football Romance
Protective MMC
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️
