Synopsis:
There was something about that first score, and not just on the football field.
I loved all of life's firsts, which was why I’d been saving mine for one girl, my older sister’s best friend—Hazel Jones.
She was tough and sarcastic with walls around her heart as tall as a football stadium, but I knew she was the one for me.
Desperate times called for desperate measures and I’d have done anything to make her mine.
Like create a fake online persona.
Lie about my age.
Pretend I wasn’t some naive virgin.And catfish the hell out of the love of my life.
Review:
The First Score was an older sister’s best friend’s sports romance. With the virgin trope and slow burn wrapped together, I loved how this story played out! Oliver and Hazel were emotional, steamy, and made my heart so happy. Especially since the angst was done fabulously. Plus, if you adore nicknames, they were some of my favorites!
I’d wait for her as long as she needed. Time was measured in such a small number compared to the sheer volume of my love for Hazel.
We were given little snippets of their past when they were younger, and it added so much depth to their story. And I loved that this book had one of my favorite micro tropes ever……when the guys takes care of the girl in a certain situation, swoon! So with a fabulous happily ever after, The First Score was a fun and flirty book to listen to! Also, if you’ve read The Red Zone, know that this story starts out before that one, catches up to the end of that book and explains why he was hiding haha, and then proceeds to go into the future from there. This could be read as a standalone, but I loved the previous book, and can’t recommend it enough too!
The Final Play (The Summerville Sports Series #3)by Amie Knight

Synopsis:
The Final Play isn’t always the end. Sometimes, it’s the beginning of something far more beautiful.
As a professional linebacker, I lived and breathed football.
The only thing I loved as much as the game was my twin brother, Max, who kept me almost as busy cleaning up his messes.
The most recent of which landed him behind bars.
So, it shouldn’t have surprised me when a beautiful woman showed up on my doorstep, claiming to be pregnant with Max’s baby.
Glory was unexpected, infuriating, and flat-out crazy most of the time.
But no matter how hard I tried to deny it, that tiny spitfire slammed into my boring life with the strength of a Category 5 hurricane, blowing through my defenses until she’d carved her name in my heart—permanently.
I feared we would never work. She was a single mom, my brother’s ex, and one more chance for me to fail yet another person I loved.
But if football was my church, then Glory was my heaven.
Review:
The Final Play was an age gap, forced proximity, sports romance that will tug at your heart. With pregnancy and a twin thrown into the mix, this book took us on an emotional journey with a sprinkling of forbidden love. Mason and Glory together were a beautiful thing to watch unfold. They were both so independent, but at the same time needed one another too. And I loved their steamy moments together, especially that bathroom scene! With nicknames that I loved again, Tink is the cutest! And a look into the future with the most wonderful happily ever for all, I adored this book! This was another fun one to listen to, that I thoroughly enjoyed!
I felt like this might be the final punch and it was a knockout. Because I had a feeling that Mason Stark was my person. And I couldn’t even have him.
