Holden definitely lived up to the hype!
The forbidden nature of their relationship really allowed for hot and steamy spice! I can't decide whether Holden or Clay is the best in the spice department!
I loved how Julep was wary about Holden, but with his flirting and multiple attempts to convince her, who could resist him?
With all forbidden relationships, it always leads to heartbreak and sadness, but it was delightful that it led to a beautiful ending! They both really deserve it after all the pain they have been through.
I loved the little tease of Leo and Mary, I'm guessing it's gonna be fiery!
Thank you, Kandi Steiner and Valentine PR, for an early copy for an honest review.

3.75 stars* i think my expectations for this book were too high and i was just a Little Bit disappointed but aside from that, i love when a book can be cheesy and cliche but still be emotional and slightly heartbreaking like it’s a great mix & i think this book did it well. also i have a terrible weakness for the forbidden romance trope + sports romance

let me start with this : HOLDEN OMFG !
Fair catch and Blind side got me really hooked in this Red zone rivals series (I read them back to back) and I didn’t thought it could be better but you know what it’s always the quiet one

I’m just not feeling connected to the characters. Julep seems very cold and stand offish and I don’t believe or understand the attraction/connection between main characters other than trauma bonding. I might finish this later just to see what happens.
