Thank you, @netgalley, for the opportunity to read this ARC and,of course, @monicamurphyauthor

When I looked on my shelf and saw End game sat there, I absolutely did a little happy squeal. I was so excited to get stuck in that I had to put my current read to the side and get started straight away. Once I started, I couldn't stop. I was fully invested in this story right from the start. It truly is something special.

Who doesn't love a sports romance? 😍

Nico is a typical alpha male or tries to appear to be. This is very far from the truth. He is a sweetheart. I really loved his character development throughout.

I adore the friendship that grew between the group, especially between Everleigh & Sienna.
There wasn't a single character in this book I didn't love. I have been left wanting more!
I was smiling, kicking my legs, and my heart was melting throughout.

I can't wait for the paper back to be released so I can read it all over again 🥺

It deserves all the stars. If you haven't pre ordered, please go over to Amazon to do so!

I have never read a Monica Murphy book that I have not loved, and I have read most.

I watch out for every new release and it's always an easy 5 stars. This one is not, and that hurts me.

This storyline is fantastic. I adore so many of the characters. I look forward to the rest of the series. Not only to read about how the other characters find love, but to see how the less adorable ones redeem themselves. The pace is perfect. It's good enough that once I started reading it, I did not stop until the last page.

However, I am annoyed by the person who edited this one for Monica. I've never edited a romance novel in my life, but I sure as heck want that job.

I refuse to do this author an injustice by publicly stating the "flaws". Quite honestly, I nearly opted out of giving feedback, but I am settling for not posting it anywhere else. I will say that this version is not publish and release ready.

Should it happen without another edit, please read and recommend. This book is still pure joy and any romance reading lover will enjoy it.

I would call this more of a 3.5 star read for me personally. Fans of Say You Swear and the TV show New Girl will love this book! The premise was interesting and worked well at quickly forming connections between our core characters. If you like storylines that are more on the forbidden romance, forced proximity vibe with a mix of insta-love and heavy on the tension early on then this book is for you! The book is also a nice easy read and definitely works well as a palate cleanser when you want something fun and lighthearted to read. The only reason I could not rate it a 4 was mainly due to the fact that I appreciate more of a slow-burn romance but can see people who don’t want that would love this book.

Fans of college sports romance will absolutely devour this!

It has forbidden love, roommates, forced proximity and found family vibes. I really liked both MCs. I found their relationship was steamy and romantic.

This is a quick read too.
