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.

First Down is the first book in the Beyond the Play series. Each book is a different sports romance, featuring a different Callahan sibling and they can be read as a standalone.
