Synopsis:

I met Adam Nova under the twinkling lights of a nighttime sky.
He was hiding, but that gorgeous boy didn’t belong in the dark.
Nevertheless it was where he lived; a different world than mine.
I was Livingston Montgomery, Southern debutante.
With the world at my fingertips, I was well on my way to being another spoiled socialite.
But I didn’t want money.
I didn’t want social status.
I wanted him; tattoos, sarcastic smirk, bad boy reputation and all.
It didn’t matter that he was from the wrong side of the tracks.
It didn’t matter that my family forbade me from seeing him.
I just wanted to be Beneath His Stars.

Review:

Beneath His Stars was a young adult, star-crossed romance that so sweet. I loved watching the tentative friendship blossom between Adam and Liv. But they were from different areas of life. No one from her world would accept him, even if those in his would. So as they grow closer, under the stars, I loved how their beautiful moments together were hidden away. For just the two of them. And watching this slow burn, first love blossom was so captivating. But make sure you have the next book in the duology on hand, because that ending was brutal.

A star was realized.
A dream was born.
But even stars and dreams die.

Synopsis:

I was reunited with Livingston Montgomery in the broad sunshine of a Carolina morning, right where she belonged; in the light.
It’d been too long since I’d seen her face.
She had changed, but so had I.
I was Adam Nova, reformed bad boy. Now, successful business man.
I had it all, except for the one person I’d always wanted, and now I was back to claim her.
She was living in the shadows, just a shell of the former girl I knew.
But it didn’t matter that she tried to hide from me in the dark.
I’d follow her into the deepest depths of hell.
I just wanted to be In Her Space.

Review:

In Her Space took us ten years into the future, and the emotions within these pages was intense. This was the final book in The Stars Duet, and it definitely can’t be read as a standalone. I loved watching Adam and Liv fight for their happily ever after. They hit so many road bumps along the way. Not only because of those that surrounded them, but also by keeping stuff from one another. Adam could be his own worst enemy at times. But with heartfelt tattoos, secrets, all of the drama, and a climatic ending, this book was a lot of fun to listen too. Especially since we got a look at the happily ever after down the road that was so beautiful!

“Close your eyes, Nova,” I whispered to her.
She looked over at me and grinned. “Why?”
“Because you can’t dream with your eyes open.”

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!

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.

Synopsis:

They say the red zone is the hardest place to score.
But for me, those last twenty yards were my sweet spot.
They didn't call me Lukas "Last Minute Lucy" Callihan for nothing.
I was at the top of my game...until life sacked me harder than any linebacker ever could.
Losing my mom was devastating and left me as the sole person responsible for my little sister.

Taking care of Ella and juggling my career was like playing the hardest game of my life.
My only saving grace was Scarlett Knox, Ella's sexy, red-headed, no-nonsense teacher.
She loved Ella. She hated me.
She thought I sucked at this parenting thing, and she wasn’t wrong.
But whenever she was around I got the same earth-shattering, heart-stopping feeling I did when I was only twenty yards from the goal line.
She made me feel like I was back in the red zone, a place I’d never fumbled.

Review:

The Red Zone was an adult sports romance that tugged at my heart and made me laugh.  I listened to this story and it was so much fun and completely swept me away!  I was so hooked, I binged the rest of this series in a matter of days.

Good ole Ms. Lettie and I were on an even playing field and even though the spawn of Satan didn’t know it yet, I always played to win.

Lukas came back home to raise his sister, after their mother passed away.  I loved how he would do anything for Ella!  So while life on his new football team was a struggle, at least he knew that his sister was being taken care of at school.  With Ms. Lettie.  Their meet again was one of my favorites ever, I was laughing so hard!  She’s still awkward.  He’s still forward.  And again, sparks fly!

“I’m calling dibs, Scarlett.”
I shook my head back and forth, trying to clear it. “Dibs?” I questioned. “Dibs?”

Scarlett had the hugest heart.  I loved her passion for teaching and that we got to see moments of her with her kids in the classroom.  Some of those scenes had me laughing so hard.  But what I loved most about it, was seeing how much she cared for Ella.  And just wanted the best for her.  So with Lukas being back in her life, Scarlett wasn’t going to make it easy.  There was a past there and I loved learning about it!

The girl with the Skittles. The sassy redhead who was terrible at ballroom dancing. The loving woman with her arms wrapped around my sister. She owned me. Heart. Body. And soul. She just didn’t know it yet and I was done waiting on her to realize it.

Lukas and Scarlett had a little bit of a bumpy road.  I loved their hate texts!  And that pull that was always there between them.  When you mixed that in with emotional moments and watching how they helped each other out, sigh.  I loved them!  Especially when they crossed the line to more.  But within their story, we also got their past..  I loved seeing them in high school, and watching their friendship bloom.  Lukas was such a carefree, sweet boy, who had a heart of gold.  And Scarlett and her unconditional love for his sister and her heart filled eyes for Lukas was so adorable.

We spent the next two hours eating brownies with ice cream on top and watching old reruns. But really, I spent those two hours learning that family wasn’t always the one God gave you. It was also the one you chose.

On top of everything, there were also side characters that you couldn’t help but love too.  Her brother and bestie, and then Mason, one of Lukas’ football teammates was hilarious.  I loved how he force wiggled himself into Lukas and Ella’s life!  And this book made me sob my eyes out.  There’s a beautiful moment that just shows what a perfect found family they have become and I couldn’t stop crying when Ella asked one of them a question.  So if you adore adult sports romance, and books that will tug at your heart, definitely put this one on your tbr!

PS The after bar scene had one of my favorite micro tropes ♥!

PPS The skittles and calling dibs, I loved it!
