The first one was so good and ended on a cliff hanger but I just do not like either of the main characters in this one and the plot is boring to me.

Okay, I liked this one a lot more than I was anticipating! The synopsis didn't necessarily feel like something I'd love, but alas, I did love it! Shay and Noah were destined to be together and I just loved how the second-chance romance trope was executed in this. As a soon-to-be teacher, I loved Shay's teaching perspective and how she tutored Gennie. Speaking of Gennie, what an absolute HOOT! I loved that little girl so much! The steam was also *incredible*! This one was almost a five-star read for me, but it fell short because of Shay's indecisiveness on letting Noah love her... ma'am, he's been in love with you since high school, just let him IN!!! Overall I really loved all the characters and enjoyed the storyline so much! Highly recommend this one :) -- Available on KU!

Nothing like a cute, cheesy, football romance! This one was super cute! This one has fake dating which is one of my favorite romance tropes, so of course I was bound to like it! As a former dancer, I loved the ballet content, and Nathan's love for Bree was so adorable! This didn't hit five stars for me because of the miscommunication trope (my god people just TALK!) and when they finally got together, there were some... cringy things? If you've read this, then you probably know what I'm talking about, but some of it just seemed unnecessary. Keep in mind that this is a non-spicy romance-- the only steam you get is a few kisses and an almost-strip-tease. Overall I recommend if you're looking for a quick, non-spicy, sports romance :)

Um... anyone know where I can find me a Ryan Shay? I devoured this one, y'all! I really fell in love with Ryan in the first book, so I really enjoyed reading about his own romance! This book had two of my favorite tropes: fake dating and forced proximity! Both of which were executed PERFECTLY! The banter, pining, and steam (🥵) were absolutely divine. Just like the first book, I loved all the side characters and the plot was so fun! And the epilogue had me kicking my lil feet and giggling. I seriously have no complaints about this one and LOVED it! One of my favorites of the year for sure! Go read it NOW-- available on KU!

Officially giving up on this one. I’ve tried starting/stopping this for over a year but I finally decided to call it 😬 

The synopsis sounds like something I would love but unfortunately I was just bored 🤷🏼‍♀️
