For all you sports romance fans, this is book 2 in a series, but can be read as a standalone! This had everything I want in a sweet second chance romance. Sadly as much as I wanted to like Mason I couldn't, and as much as I wanted to feel like Mason was the right person for sweet Tucker... I just couldn't.

My main issue, is I wanted more. I wanted flashbacks, to see more of the past so I could understand why Tucker has such a hard time getting over Mason. I also wanted more time getting to know the characters on their own. I didn't mind how quickly things progressed. We just needed more. I found Mason to be a hard character to like. If we spent more time with her, that could have helped change my option of her.

I really liked seeing old characters again. In this book, we don't spend as much time with the roommates as we did in book 2. I liked the dual POV, and a huge Teddy Bear football player. Tucker relationship with his family was nice, I'm down for a spin off with his brother. šŸ˜ I still have questions about Tuckers friendship with Masons brother. I feel that was a huge thing, then it was touched on and then the book was over. 

Overall, I had fun while I was reading it.

Is there a future if the past actions can't be forgiven?

If you love college sports romance then I recommend Tucker & Mason's story "Blitz". Their story is an emotional rollercoaster ride. Mason broke Tucker's heart the night before they were due to go to seperate colleges. Now attending the same college, Mason wants Tucker back.
Can they leave the past in the past for a chance at a future?.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Such an amazingly written second chance romance! Iā€™m always impressed by Allies characters and how well their written. I absolutely loved the dynamic between Mason and tucker and the well written angst in this book. If you love a grumpy man then you need to read this book, filled with cute moments and Mason trying to win back Tuckers love this was such a fun read.
