The MC’s have been together for 8 years happily married for around 5 when the H loses his father and starts drinking. One night while having a small drunken
Party the h goes on to Bed but wakes up later to find her husband getting a bj from His female agent. The book starts after the fact when the Football player H signs with the Team from New Orleans their hometown. She’s still highly pissed off at him after 2 years even though they have been hooking up sporadically over the 2 years. He’s determined to get her back. I’m Not a fan of past to
Present time hops and this book is back and forth the whole time. Great writing and characters. I enjoyed it more than I expected to.

I read this becuase....cheating. This book hit it's stride late, with the first half a too and fro dance and all the flashbacks but when it got to the reconciliation efforts I felt it was done well. Forgiveness isn't easy. I have to say it was one of the better ones where time and effort is taken by the H to win the h back.

This was the first book that I read by Sasha Marshall, but I know it won't be the last.
False Start isn't just a football romance. It's a date with the perfect book boyfriend, Bryant Hudson. His long hair and body will leave you longing for you to be the one in his arms. However, the thing about perfection is you're up on a pedestal and the fall from grace can be spectacular.
When we meet him and Zahnna, they aren't in the best place, but that's okay because Sasha takes us on a journey of love, getting lost as life comes at you fast and ultimately realizing what's at stake.
You don't have to be a sports fan to fall in love with the characters and the story and to boot there is a little kitten that adds just a little something extra to their love story.
False Start is a quick well-written novel and one you can lose yourself to escape. I'd definitely say it's a touchdown.

Surpassingly good
Okay, that heading sounds condescending, but hear me out. I'm usually not a fan of second chance romances but I really enjoyed this one. It was well written and the characters weren't just one dimensional. I read through this story fairly quickly, and there were a few times I had to step back as I was too emotionally invested in what was happening.
Overall it's an enjoyable read and as long as you're not too squeamish about some cheating, you'll probably enjoy it as well

I read this book as an ARC and it had me spellbound!! I love Bryant and Zhanna’s story. I couldn’t put the book down! I stayed up all night until I finished it. I felt both their pain and heartaches I’ve never rooted for a couple as badly as I did them. Their deep love was so obvious and heartfelt life’s curveball nearly destroyed them. I love the other characters in the book also. Leslie was the comic relief the dark moments needed. I sincerely hope Ben and Zina get their own book and HEA as well. This book is exceptionally well written and I consider it a must read!

The reason I got this book was because it was recommended to me for the Carrie Underwood destruction due to a cheater.
It did not let me down she win ham over everything. I felt the pain in the rage when we get to the moment of her finding him.
Then his gravel is just so good and there are pointing times in infidelity stories where I don’t like either of the characters at some point in time.
But this book I loved both characters and I could see from both their perspectives of their love and I just could not hate them. Not when he cheated I felt disappointed but I just couldn’t hate him.
Not when she can trust him and was ready to give everything up. I understood her pain and just wanted her to heal.
This was amazing to me and I will be buying it in physical format now!!!
