The First Down
What a fun, sweet and steamy college sports romance, and man did I pick it up at the perfect time since I was in need of some fluffy spice with a side of complex issues.

I was really impressed with the layered family dynamics added into the storyline, which created a serious and realistic side to the story. Especially since these dynamics allowed space for the characters to grow and evolve as they found themselves.

Fake Dating!! Cinnamon Roll MC!! Need I say more!?! I cannot get enough of these two tropes and how they always create extra steam, banter and romance.
James Callahan made this romcom and stole my heart. He was so genuine and just impossible to not fall for. His love for Bex was so nurturing, and he was all in from the start and wasn't afraid to share his feelings.

If you are in need of some fresh n and romance this is for you. As for me, I can't wait to read the rest of the series and Cooper's book is up next!
Thank you Avon Books for this gifted copy in exchange for my honest opinions.
