This entire series has been brilliant, and this book is no exception. There is humor and sexual tension. There is also lots of emotional turmoil. Hollis (the Hero) has had a rough past and while he has grown and 'moved on' to become the man he is today, he still holds a lot of hurt which causes him to lack the confidence he needs to be in a intimate relationship with someone. He has plenty of confidence in the general sense, just not when it comes to relationships. He feels unworthy. Larissa (the Heroine) just came off a long term relationship, and swore off men, especially athletes. That is until she bumped into Hollis (college football star.) The two form a mutual beneficial relationship. (And no... not a friends with benefits type of one.) Of course as the two get to know each other, they form a bond, but will their past hurts hinder things from moving forward? This is a well written story and it flows smoothly and easily. There is some sexual content. The characters are well developed and enjoyable. This is part of a series (each book features a different couple, and written by a different author,) but the boys are all friends and each make small appearances in the others books. You can read in any order without issues or spoilers.

What a way to round out this series. Adriana Locke is in a class by herself, the way she writes a story is emotionally magical. If you haven’t read Adriana before, I’m not sure what you are waiting for. She always has a common theme in her stories and that’s family.
Hollis doesn’t know what it’s like to have the support of family, so he doesn’t understand how Larissa could want to be a part of his life because he feels he is not worth it.
This story is heartbreaking, yet heartwarming as we watch these two on their journey. This story has everything and it also gives us some time with some old friends. In typical Adriana style you are going to be sucked into the story and not want to leave. I was so excited to get this story I didn’t want to put it down, I wanted to savor it, but that didn’t happen, I had to read and keep reading to the end.
The Kings of Football is an amazing series! Do Not Miss it!
1) The Revenge Pact. Ilsa Madden Mills
2) The Romantic Pact. Meghan Quinn
3) The Relationship Pace Adriana Locke

I came so close to dnfing this. The only reason I didn't is because I'm stubborn af. It started off so well! And just steadily went downhill from there. The romance was not believable - actually none of the relationships were believable. It had barely any spice to make up for the terrible storyline too. They knew each other for three days and suddenly they're in love? If I had seen this relationship in real life I would have compared it to those annoying couples in high school who scribble each others names all over everything and obsess over each other. Also, the random old lady who 'claimed' him as family after two days? You have to be kidding me.
