Oh my gosh. This was so cute!! I love sports romance, but really don't enjoy hockey, so this was super refreshing for me. I loved the main characters (even if I did experience second hand embarrassment, and want to yell at them sometimes), and really loved reading about the relationship that they did have. The family dynamics in this book are amazing, and I love how close the MMC is with all of his siblings. It just made the entire book that much better!

*SPOILERS*
I thought there was going to be a third act break up. It was almost a dnf, I was so upset about it. That being said - they didn't break up. I didn't love that they 'went on a break,' but there are worse things that could've happened. That is the only reason I wouldn't give this book 5 stars, because it was otherwise entirely flawless!

per my spreadsheet:
men. why are men. why do girls always have to deal with em. bless the author for adding the bonus chapters to the kindle edition. cherry on top. tho it had me sweating when things were getting heated and i still had 25% of the book left lol 

spice 🌶  - a 4 🌶  spicy (romance.io scale)
length - just right
reading speed - read in 2 days
did it make me cry? - tears fell

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.

Since I haven't been able to watch much of football season, this was a nice taste of it--minus all the mid game advertisements haha.

It's a fun book--3.5 stars cause it's fun but I'll probably never read it again.

 
Fake Dating to I Love You. Throwing the National Championship to prove a point.

Really enjoyed Beckett as a female character's name. Reminded me of being down South and the naming practices (wouldn't have expected it for a NY born and raised character).

The Callahan family is fun minus the dad Richard. Love Sandra the mom, she knows what's up.

Darryl was an ass. Hope he got expelled or suspended. 

Interested to see how much more of Bex and James we'll see in the rest of the series.

     This was a deeper new adult romance than I'm used to. There was more backstory to the main characters and they had more baggage than many new adult romances, which I liked. It tackled a lot of mental health and abusive ex-partner issues. 
    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.
