 Sports romance, you have never failed me!
I have seen so much about this book, a pole dancing FL who is the daughter of the coach and a ML quarterback who can't take his eyes off her? Yes please! Kandi Steiner has written a steamy and surprisingly sweet romance with SO MUCH SPICE, and characters who have really gone through the grief wringer. Holden is the star quarterback, and the new football coach and him don't exactly see eye to eye. The coach's sports medicine daughter has been declared strictly off limits, but that doesn't stop him from looking. Did I mention they end up living across from each other? And in her living room she has installed a pole and NO CURTAINS!! (You can bet he watches!) An almost career ending injury sees the two paired together for physical therapy, and forbidden romance soon blossoms. I loved the dual POV, it was great to see Holden pining for Julep, and see how much he already cared about her.
Favorite Moments: the pool, Julep giving him a show, Holden's Uncles
Hail Mary is still my favorite in the series, but this was well enjoyed too!

It’s just a football romance, they said. It’ll be fun, they said. 

And it was. Quarterback sneak follows Holden Moore, captain of the Rebels and essentially married to the sport and Julep Lee, the coach’s daughter with a troubled past who works on the training staff. After an injury brings them closer together, what started as a mere acquaintanceship became two broken people healing with the help of each other and falling in love along the way. 

I didn’t think I would cry at a football romance, but here I am sobbing my eyes out for these characters who deserve the world and more and who help each other handle their pasts so they can move forward — together. 

It was beautiful, deep, heartbreaking and made me feel every emotion in existence. I loved it. 

Thank you Kandi Steiner for blessing me with an abundance of football boyfriends who have equally loveable girlfriends. It’s so hard to pick just one!
