This book was cute, but it wasn’t stellar. I had some issues with a few character choices, and wish there had been more development on the side characters, but James and Bex were very cute together.
I will definitely keep the rest of the series in mind when I need another palette cleanse. 3 stars.

However, James wasn't completely likable and had anger issues. As well as a kind of obsessive attachment thing going on with his partners, where it was ALL about them and nothing else in his life. Making even the main relationship not completely healthy.
The male narrator wasn't great the female narrator was good. She did a great job with different tones for different characters.
Overall it was a good book with a lot of emotional depth. I do plan to continue the series.

Literally obsessed with this book, the writing, and the characters 🥹 I binge this book in one day. Personally, I think this was better than Icebreaker by Hannah Grace which is a college sports romance. First Down is a perfect mix of spice, drama, and fake dating romance!

did i just miss half the book or??? because even though this book lasted a ENTIRE FOOT BALL SEASON we saw maybe 8.214 days in total
it would be a higher review if the author had showed them falling in love
It’s only this high because i enjoyed reading it even if there is no proof the characters have spoken more the 12 times
this author should just stick to only smut books because that’s the only time you see the main characters interacting

This book was a super fun read! My first sports romance ever and I'm very glad I started out with this one. I love the fake dating aspect especially because that's my favorite trope EVER so I was immediately excited to read this when I saw it had that trope. I definitely think I would've read this a lot faster if I hadn't been in a reading slump.
