Kiss and Tell by Maya Hughes
4.0
This was a really good story and it kept me turning pages to find out how things could go. Of course from reading Maya Hughes other New Adult series titled Fulton U, I had heard of this other school, St. Francis U as a rival. So I like how the author gave us the point of view from the other side. Because obviously there are two sides to every story. In this series we are dealing with a college football coach that may be a winning coach, but really, he is pretty much one of the biggest jerks in the world. And it’s not just about trying to win, he’s so petty! Benching students for stupid reasons, like who they date because the father of the girl is someone he doesn’t like. And even worse than that, the things he puts his team through when he gets upset. Wow.
And then there is Leona. She’s just transferred, and actually from quite a ways away, Australia! And she has her own family issues, the reason she left her mother and stepfather and is now with her father. But even though her father is a really good guy, and it’s not a bad thing to go live with him, there are still reasons that Leona has to keep her burgeoning friendship, relationship with Reid a secret. Although I feel like it is one of those times she could have let her dad in on it sooner, that her dad would have met Reid and understood more than what his coach would react like if/when he found out they were dating.
I really liked the whole set up of this new university and players that I’m sure we’ll soon be seeing more stories from. A great start to a new series from an author that I always enjoy!
