After finishing the first Beyond the Players series book, I could not wait to read Cooper's story. And just like First Down, this book did not disappoint me. The depth of emotion in this book was fantastic. Penny and Cooper's story drew me in and held me tight throughout the book. Grace Reilly is an amazing author. I genuinely enjoy her writing style and the honesty that she brings to her characters. As I read the book, I became so absorbed in the story. Even the spicy scenes were well-written and realistic. The chemistry between Penny and Cooper was off-the-charts hot! I couldn't get enough of them!! I appreciated the open dialogue between Cooper and Penny about her "list" and desires. And boy, oh boy, could that man talk dirty! Whew!! Cooper is definitely at the top of my book-boyfriend list!

Their love story was an emotional rollercoaster that touched on intense issues, but Grace beautifully handled it. Penny's journey towards reclaiming herself was incredibly inspiring, and I couldn't help but root for her every step of the way. It was heartwarming to see Cooper and Penny navigate her past trauma and their family issues while also trying to find their footing in college life together. I loved their story!

I did a hybrid read/listen, and it was awesome! The narrators, Brian Meslar and Faith Clark were perfect in bringing Cooper and Penny's story to life. The dual narration was well done and added to the overall experience. I highly recommend it!
