Poppy Ford has been in love with her best friend forever.
But she’s firmly in the friend zone and fears she may never get out.
Aaron Bennet has been dreaming of a football scholarship forever.
But he’s not the Rixon Raiders star player, and he never will be.
While Aaron is focused on proving himself, Poppy is hoping he’ll finally wake up and see what’s right in front of him.
He doesn’t want to lose his best friend.
She doesn’t want to lose senior year to a boy who doesn’t want her.
But fate has other ideas for them.
And when hearts get broken and dreams get shattered, will their friendship be strong enough to survive?
Or will the ties that bind them finally unravel?
Home is a small town in the middle of England where she currently juggles being a full-time writer with being a mother/referee to two little people. In her spare time (and when she’s not camped out in front of the laptop) you’ll most likely find LA immersed in a book, escaping the chaos that is life.

Home is a small town in the middle of England where she currently juggles being a full-time writer with being a mother/referee to two little people. In her spare time (and when she’s not camped out in front of the laptop) you’ll most likely find LA immersed in a book, escaping the chaos that is life.
It feels like I've been waiting for this book forever. The teaser at the end of Off limits had me dying to get my hands on this. The writing style is awesome and I find myself hanging on every word. I am so invested in all of the characters, and having the secondary characters play such a huge part through both books has made me care as much about them as the main characters.
So when we got to that teaser I was already loving Peyton and dying not just to read her story but to get something good for her. Although from everything we had heard about Xander it was hard to picture him as anyone's hero. And if anyone deserved a prince to ride in on his white horse and carry them away it was Peyton. And despite her predicament at the end of Off limits, she didn't need saving, because she had been fighting her own battles forever.
Thankfully we got to know a whole lot more of Xander and I quickly grew to like him. He was messed up and he acted like a coward but it was understandable with everything they were both dealing with.
This story was awesome and I didn't want to put it down for a second. And the teaser at the end of this book is just as brutal. I am hoping we don't have long to wait for the next book because I need it now.

God, I don't know where to start with this review. L.A. Cotton has been recommended to me and I've added so many of her books to my TBR but this is the first one I have actually read and I'm an idiot. Because damn, that book was absolutely what I needed to read right now. I love new adult sports romance, and recently I've read a few books back to back that were just outside of my normal preferences. And while I've enjoyed it this felt like coming home.
I literally couldn't put it down and I didn't want to. Lily and Kaiden were awesome. They were so different and so perfect for each other I couldn't get enough of them. They each had their own issues, but who doesn't? And they dealt with it all so beautifully I forgot how young they were meant to be.
I really wish I had read the og series of the earlier generation because I feel like they were great characters. But I am really excited to think about the fact I just added a massive collection of books to my TBR. For now I can't wait to see all the characters I just met get their stories told because the hints all through this book and the glimpses into each of them has me dying to read them all right now.
Although the tease of Peyton and Xander at the end of this book has me wrapped up in knots with tears streaming down my face so we better be getting that one soon. Especially since it broke me out of my very happy Lily and Kaiden bubble.
