The spice just wasn’t hitting for me. Only the last scene really caught my attention. 

To me, it seemed like Beckett was the downfall of the book. She held herself back for every decision and it became annoying.

First Down was a cute, steamy sports romance that easily accomplished what it set out to do.

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.

I think I read this at the most perfect moment. I mean, this book has a girl spending time with her football player boyfriend’s family in a stadium box while wearing his jersey. Who does that sound like? If you wanted Taylor x Travis vibes, that’s this book!

Taylor’s Team aside, James and Bex were really cute! I thought their progression from friends to fwb to official dating was both sweet and realistic. I loved how they were so supportive of each other. I also loved how the book demonstrated that giving a partner support doesn’t have to mean giving up something. I think James’ journey to realizing that is an important lesson for people to learn.

I wish there had been a little more fake dating and parts of the book felt a little rushed (mainly their progression from friends to lovers, which felt like it happened in a day when it was supposed to be months), but I’m kind of hoping since the rereleased copy is supposed to be longer that some of that is fixed.

Cute, quick sports romance. Fairly low angst, moderate steam. Will definitely be reading the rest of the series!

WHERE. IS. THE. CHEMISTRY 

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
