I have been a fan of the sports romance trope recently, and honestly..... this book ticked all of my boxes. With the perfect combination of spice and truly heart warming storytelling, this book will have you hooked from the start!

This was painful to get through. I usually don’t mind instalove that much but I just could not with this one. The writing just felt off to me, not quite AI but close.

A very sweet, small town, sports read! Absolutely loved this romance book with so much chemistry.

Two years ago Jake and Ella had a steamy night together, never to be spoken about again. Both are judged in their small town by their parents poor decisions and sins.
Jake who left to play in the NFL moves back to town to coach a local football team. Ella a teacher and now raising her little brother is in the midst of saving her school from closure. In close proximity again Jake and Ella rekindle their friendship as sparks begin to fly.

I was hooked from the very beginning and read this in 2 days. It was the perfect mix of unrequited love and good banter.

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Ella is trying to stop her school from being closed. Football star Jake might be able to help. But first, they’ll have to navigate around their chemistry, having grown up in the same town and shared a spicy hookup a couple years before.

First off, this book is categorized as erotica, and I don’t agree with that. It’s a romance, but the spice is not so high that I’d consider it erotica.

There’s a large cast of characters here, and it made it a little hard to keep track of them all at first. I liked Jake and Ella, and her friend Rosie and Simon. But I didn’t connect with the aunts, and I found there to be some lacking from Cam, Miranda, and Trish. I liked how their backstory with Jake was explained later, but I still expected there to be more there.

It was cute. It was a little spicy. But overall it was just ok for me.

First off, love the title and the 87 on the jersey for a nod to Taylor. I love how everything football is now Taylor Swift.

I enjoyed this book, it had much heavier topics than the cover suggests especially dealing with the small town scandals and learning to get over and grow through them. I love the two of them together and the fun coaching aspect. There is a complication but it doesnt drag out so much and ends up being very understandable both times due to the characters natures and backstories. Despite the heavy topics, it was an easy read and a guaranteed HEA.

If you're in the mood for a sizzling sports romance packed with second chances and off-the-charts chemistry, Look What You Made Me Do by Amy Andrews is a must-read. The story reunites former football star Jake Prince, freshly ousted from the NFL, with headstrong high school principal Ella Lucas, who just happens to be the woman he shared a scorching night with two years earlier. Their past might be complicated, but now Ella needs Jake’s help to save her struggling school. All Jake has to do? Coach the school's underdog football team to victory—and maybe redeem his tarnished reputation along the way.

Andrews does a fantastic job bringing Jake and Ella’s sizzling tension to life, blending humor, heat, and plenty of personal growth as these two navigate their undeniable attraction. Their witty, sharp-tongued exchanges fuel a romance that’s both fiery and heartfelt. Jake, with his tough-guy exterior and unexpected vulnerability, is the perfect match for Ella, who is determined to stay focused on saving her school.

With Jake and Ella both trying to keep things “strictly professional,” their chemistry keeps them on a collision course for some truly spicy moments. Look What You Made Me Do is a fun, sexy romance that’s hard to put down, and fans of Amy Andrews’ brand of heat and humor won’t be disappointed!

This story was lots of fun to read and I really enjoyed getting to know the characters. The premise of the story was great and I couldn’t help but root for the characters. I was hoping they would get their happy ever after and also save the school!

The story moved at a lovely pace. I really enjoyed the premise, the sports side of things and the way everyone came together to help for a good cause. The minor characters also brought something to the story. Both Ella and Jake have pasts that are still causing problems in the present. So there is conflict there but I liked how the author brought them together as they worked through it all. The romance was sweet but with a little spice too, a great combination!

Look What You Made Me Do was both fun and engaging! If you like small towns with a hint of sports and of course romance. Then this could be the book for you!

I loved this story! Being from a small town, I completely understand what the 2 main characters, Ella and Jake, were going through. This is quick, easy read watching 2 small town people grow and heal individually and together. There is a lot of spice between these 2! I would recommend if you like sports romances, a little bit of smut, and likable characters! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review!

"Look What You Made Me Do" by Amy Andrews is a sizzling, emotional rollercoaster of a romance that blends fiery chemistry with heartfelt depth. The novel follows characters entangled in a complicated relationship, where unresolved tensions, passion, and past wounds collide. Andrews creates a captivating dynamic between her protagonists, exploring themes of revenge, redemption, and the intense pull of love even in the face of conflict. With witty banter, steamy scenes, and emotional growth, "Look What You Made Me Do" is a compelling and engaging romance that keeps readers invested until the very end. It’s perfect for readers who enjoy love stories with a mix of tension, humor, and emotional intensity.

This was a cute story that I enjoyed reading. Had some unexpected plot points which kept me interested.

I truly wanted to love this book- it has a lot of my favorite things. Enemies to lovers, workplace-ish romance, second chance. I just really didn’t like Ella, her brother Cam was a little much but I tried to give him some grace as they both have mommy issues; parts weren’t believable- the coach of the team can’t sit and explain the game while he’s coaching…

I loved the concept, the execution could use some work.

In this fun and sporty enemies to lovers novel, Ella Lucas and Jake Prince, high school classmates, reunite as a principal for the local high school and a bartender after a single memorable night two years ago. With her school on the brink of closure, Ella has no choice but to turn to Jake, perhaps the only person who can help her and her school: as a former NFL player and star for the rival private school, he can coach the new underdog football team to a winning streak in their first season to prevent the school from closing. Continually forced to interact with each other and constantly getting on each other’s nerves, sparks fly between Ella and Jake though one of them is not going to entertain the idea of a relationship. With fantastic characters with incredible chemistry, Andrews has created two classic and tropey protagonists in the best possible way. Tropes galore appear in this book and act as a great backdrop for their interactions and the progression of the plot. For romance readers who are interested in a spicy, tropey, enemies-to-lovers romance novel, Amy Andrews has definitely written a modern romance book that should be on their lists.

Once I picked up Look What You Made Me Do, I couldn't put it down. When a small town principal is forced to ask a man from the past for help saving her school, things get complicated as they navigate their "professional" and personal relationship. Andrews pulls on the heart strings, while spinkling in some spicy romance. I can't wait so read more from her!

I was drawn in by the Taylor Swift reference, but I was disappointed by the lack of references beyond the title and cover. I could see some connection between the MMC and Travis Kelce, but it’s a stretch.
The story was cute, and I liked the general concept, but the chemistry was not there for me. I liked the characters, but they fell a bit flat.
There is a great balance of romance and other storylines in this book that made it an enjoyable read!

isso daqui é pra quem ama kulti, mas queria que fosse focado no futebol americado!

duas pessoas da mesma cidade e que tentam de tudo fugir do seu passado, mas sempre se esbarram e pensam que a culpa de nunca conseguir fugir do passado é pq ela ta sempre ali

eu gostei da história. achei os personagens bem desenvolvidos pela quantidade de paginas que é o livro.

jake e ella se conhecem desde jovens, ella filha de uma dama da noite, jake, filho de um bebum de primeira, todos fazem bullying com o outro e eles se vão embora da cidade, at[e que se encontram por uma noite e dali dois anos de novo. ella ta tentando salvar a escola de fechar, jake tentando se manter fora do holofote, mas a unica maneira que eles encontram de valorizar a escola é provar o valor dela a comunidade.

cada um tem seu segredos e vergonhas e ao longo do livro eles ficam mais fortes ao perceber que quando se gosta de uma pessoa, náo tem passado manchado que afaste

opiniao sincera em troca do eARC pelo netgalley, gratidão a autora e editora pela oportunidade de ler esse livro. gostei muitissimo

I wanted to like this book so badly! The title as a Taylor Swift reference pulled me in along with the cover and the story.

The story follows headteacher Ella Lucas and disgraced football star Jake Prince. Jake offers to help save Ella's school by coaching the underdog football team. As they work together, their chemistry resurfaces, but Ella is determined to stick to her rule of never getting involved with Jake again. The novel explores their steamy reunion and the challenges they face as they navigate their past and present feelings for each other.

This was originally published as, Holding out for a Hero and rebranded as a Taylor Swift/ Travis Kelce inspired romance, but I felt like it was trying way too hard. I had a hard time coming around on Ella and Lucas as characters and their chemistry seemed a little forced.

I think if you approach it not as Taylor/ Travis romance and just a sports romance you'll have a much better time!

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

So I am sad to say this book was rated on the lower end for me, it sounded promising but I just wasn't enjoying the story, couldn't get into the book and was not enjoying the characters. I picked 2 stars and that was the highest I could give it and I was being super nice.
Now I am a mood reader so maybe don't take my word for this book and give it a read yourself.
Main characters: Ella and Jake.
This book is a sports romance, these characters grew up in the same town
Sooo much emotional drama (and personal damage)
In my opinion, the chemistry between these 2 was not to my liking, feels off (and maybe forced, idk just odd) more like just friends and not more. I was also having a hard time with the characters. I didn't like Ella at all, she just bothered me.
This book dragged on, felt way too long and not really a lot going on either, Just couldn't get into it and it took me a long time to finish reading it. I had to sit it down quite a few times and come back to it.

From the moment I started reading this book, you knew that it was going to have characters in it that were going to shine.

The fact that the female character was going to be pushy when needed throughout the story, especially when a certain male,character made the story more steamer as I read more.

I read this story from NetGalley with this being my honest review of it.

I enjoyed reading this book the characters had good detailed and interesting backstories, we saw character development from them, and I found them to be pretty enjoyable. I thought the book was well written and discussed some important themes but I was also able to laugh and have a good time.

Thank you NetGalley, the publishers and the author for an advanced readers copy of this book I had a good time reading it.

Usually when the girls say "we're not getting together" or "no we don't go together", the guy ends up getting the girl. When you are forced to be close to one another the feelings tend to show more and more.

Plus they have history which was over two years ago, however Ella has a dilemma and Jake seems to be the only one who can help.
