💋 ABOUT 🏈


Our star-crossed love is my first and I want him to be mine.


A new college campus. A secret bound to explode in my face. And a football player neighbor who is bad news in the best of ways.


Reid Riddick was hotness personified, so of course I literally ran into with him--well, more like he plowed into me.


I didn’t know he was a football player when I started falling and now I can’t stop. A stolen kiss later and my heart races whenever he looks at me from across the quad.


But my secret would spell disaster for him.




My Review

Every series that Ms. Hughes writes gets better than the last. Reid and Leona had an instant connection that you could feel through the pages. I loved how he got jealous of his roommate and couldn’t figure out why (it was the first time he had met her).

  Reid is always hyper focused on football, but once he meets Leona that all changes. He can’t stop thinking about her or wanting to see her. Even when they realize they shouldn’t be together he can’t stop, even sabotaging something to be closer to her.

  Leona is the daughter of the college president, who doesn’t get along with the football coach. She tries to stay away from Reid, but finds that she doesn’t want to and likes the way he makes her feel. She also has a complicated situation with both of her parents.

  This book had a little bit of everything. I laughed a lot (tag, anyone?), I was anxious (when would they be found out?) and I was sad (the reaction of both when they were caught. The other football players and her roommates brought a lot of realism to the story and I can’t wait to see their stories. The way one of them proves what he or she said to the other was a lie was fantastic.

  I loved every minute of this book and can’t wait to read more about the STFU crew. I highly recommend this book. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest, voluntary review.


💋EXCERPT🏈


I inhaled deeply and sunk deeper against him, knowing I shouldn’t let myself. He smelled like grass and leather and Icy Hot, but there was also an underlying sweetness. I was tempted to press my nose to his chest and suck in a lungful of Reid.

I wished we weren’t in a freezing cold garage, but back in my bed after we’d passed out watching District 9 or The Abyss. Or maybe after taking things a bit further. 

He yawned, rubbing his hand down my back. “Hey, we made it.” 

I scooted back a little and looked up at him, trying not to be self-conscious about my morning breath. “We did. Thanks for not letting me freeze.”

“What kind of teammate would I be if I let you turn into a popsicle?” 

“A terrible one. Now I know why the guys keep you around. You’ll do anything for the team.” I meant it as a tease, but it was also a reminder of why we couldn’t be together. 

“I will.” He didn’t unlock his hand from around mine. The smooth glove glided over the back of my hand. 

Staring into his eyes, all the feelings I’d been trying to suppress came rushing back. They flooded my veins and sparked my nerve endings. 

His head dipped lower so our foreheads almost touched. I’d never thought mine was sensitive before, but now I could feel every graze and skim. 

Our noses brushed, and I swore I could feel the flutter of his eyelashes.
