this was a relatively fast read but it did take me at least 35% of the book to get into the story. I didn’t relate to any of the character nor did i really like them. while they did have baggage they had to work through it still all felt surface level throughout the entire book.

i wish we saw more interactions between the the MFC and her brother.

the relationship was mainly sexual and the only thing they related on was past trauma.

This romance novel was such an enjoyable and effortless read! I loved watching the characters evolve and grow in their relationships. Jake and Ella, both raised in the same small town with parents who were the town’s disgrace, fought hard to define themselves beyond their family legacies. Jake made it to the NFL, while Ella pursued her passion as a math teacher. I usually find third-person narratives challenging, but this one was captivating and beautifully done!

Look What You Made Me Do is an adorable story of two people who have had to overcome so much from their childhood but they make it out the other side perfectly!

Ella Lucas is a woman who has had to battle the “sins” of her mother her entire life. She has constantly been judged for things she didn’t do but getting out of her small town allowed for her to separate from these rumors, or she thought. Jake Prince had his own parental issues to overcome and he did that by dedicating his life to football and getting out of his small town to a new city. He just never expected that city to include Ella. Ella is a principal at a high school in danger of being shut down and Jake is the perfect man to help her save it.

Ella and Jake had a lot of baggage but it made them so similar. They were able to sympathize with each other and even offer perspective that no one else could do for them. I loved everything about them and their respective found families. I could read multiple books about Daisy and Iris alone! Their lives were clearly well lived. I read this book in one sitting and am so happy with how it ended.

If you are looking for a short and sweet sports romance then I'd recommend 'Look What You Made Me Do' - this summer I've been a sucker for a sports romance and can't resist a swiftie book title. It was nice to read a story from the perspective of older protagonists who a history to bring to a whirlwind romance.

I found myself invested in the turn around of the school as well as the development of the characters and their romance. There isn't a lot of depth to this story and I didn't find anything particularly surprising but it didn't stop me from enjoy the charm. Plus there were parts where you could really feel the lust between Jake and Ella!

This was an easy read with some nods to Taylor Swift lyrics and most definitely a MMC based on Travis Kelce. There were some minor details about American football that needed a little more fine tuning but that’s to be expected with an ARC. Read if you like second chance romance, an underdog sports story, The Alchemy or So High School, or if you always wanted the football star to end up with the nerdy girl.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this advanced reader’s copy!

This book was very fun! I flew through it, it’s a perfect light read. I really liked all the characters and loved the dynamic between them all and the found family aspect. I was invested in the football team and their attempts to save the school, as well as the budding relationship between Ella and Jake. This book does have some darker themes to be aware of but it handles them well. Overall a very enjoyable romance read!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an eArc of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Loved it! The book is a classic small-town romance but with a lot more spice! I loved the female main character, especially her witty comments! I chucked to myself at several of her comments. Looking forward to reading more books by this author.

This was a story full of ups and downs. The situation that Ella is in was such a hard one to read. To come from such a difficult background, I couldn't imagine it. I totally understood her need for anonymity and wanting to help other children in need.

Jake is such a stand-up guy, I applaud him. Every action he takes makes me like him even more.

The only character that I didn't like was Cam. Why was he such an annoying teenager?! Maybe it's just the teenager phase, but I every time he came onto the page, I wanted to yell at him.

This story didn't really grab me on the onset. When the romance wrapped up, the book continued to go on about sport - and I think most sport romance readers are reading for the romance, not the sport. ;) Not a bad book just not one for my tastes, I think!

i dnfd this, i just couldn’t get on with the writing i feel like the plot wasn’t that great but it wasn’t bad, i don’t think i got far into it to judge it majorly

for my first arc i had a good time!! thank you so much to netgalley and the author for the opportunity to read this for an honest review in advance!!

Excuse me, wow is a understatement this book ATE I was hooked and couldn't put it down finished withing a day. Absolutely beautiful writing and loved character development

This was a cute redemption romcom to read! I love Jake and Ella work together as they reconcile their past with one another. It was a quick read for me and I did enjoy every moment!

3⭐️ Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for an advanced copy of Look What You Made Me Do.

Ella had to return to her hometown of Trently to bury her mother. Her mother was very well liked by the men in town and Ella had to deal with that stigma her whole childhood. The only one she felt who understood being judged by what your parents do was Jake who is an rx NFL star and they have an unforgettable night together while she is in town. Then two years later there paths cross again and the attraction between them is undeniable. But they need to keep it professional because Ella just hired him to create a football team for her failing school. Can they both get over the trauma of there past and make a future together?

I enjoyed this book. If you enjoy sports romance and spice this book is definitely for you!

Such a great redemption story between Jake and Ella.

Ella is the principal of a small-town school under threat of closing. She has challenges with guardianship of her troubled younger brother and she’s trying to make something of herself and get out from under the shadow of her mother Rachel. Jake is also struggling. He’s a retired football star now running a bar and having a pretty close brush with alcoholism. These two grew up in the same town and share the same hardscrabble wrong-side-of-the-tracks upbringing. It’s steamy 🌶 🌶 and there’s a real connection between these two - they definitely scratch each other‘s itches but it’s more than that - if they can get out of their own way enough to explore their feelings.

There’s lots to enjoy - found family, loyal friendships, eccentric oldies, dogs, high school football, the power of the tarot, gossip and comeuppance, and so it goes. These side characters and events give it texture and depth, and make this such a a satisfying redemption romance. Author Amy knows what she’s doing and I enjoyed all the drama as Ella and Jake stumbled towards their happily ever after.

Thank you NetGalley, Boldwood Books and Amy Andrews for the ARC.

I’d like to start by saying that first person is not my favorite. But this small town romance was an easy read. I like that the main characters can relate on a family childhood trauma level and it definitely binds them. The story was simple, enjoyable, light and fun. I wouldn’t say it was life changing but worth the short read! There’s very little spice but I absolutely love sports romances so they’re a good time for me, and this was no exception.

Unfortunately I did not finish this book.

It all felt a little too rushed for me. I didn’t click with the characters and it was generally just a struggle.

Thank you for the opportunity to read this.

I appreciate NetGalley for providing this ARC in return for my honest feedback.

This was my first time reading Amy Andrews, and I'm definitely interested in exploring more of her work in the future. This book was a warm, comforting read with just the right touch of heat. Although it touches on some tough issues, it doesn’t delve too deeply into them. The story follows Principal Ella and former NFL player Jake as they team up to save their hometown school, all while dealing with their shared past in Trently. I was cheering for DeLuca High from the beginning. The aunties in the story were absolute gems, and I would have loved to see even more of them!

⭐⭐⭐/5

This book was an easy-to-read romcom. Started off a little slow, but eventually picked up. You have Ella (a strait-laced teacher/principal) and Jake (a bad boy football star) who both came from the same small town with twisted past.


This was a light and fun read. If you need a palate cleanser, then definitely give this one a try!

Thank you NetGalley and Amy Andrews for allowing me to read this ARC.

I've been a BIG fan of Amy Andrews for a while & when I heard she wrote a new sports romance book, you better believe I pursued reading it.
Thank you, #NetGalley, for allowing me to read Look What You Made Me Do by Amy Andrews. I
voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book on #NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own, but please add this fantastic romance story to your TBR list.
Ella & Jake both come from a small town with family histories their not exactly proud of. Fast forward a few years in a new setting as they've both grown in adulthood where they need each other to heal from their pasts as well as save a school from being shut down. Some drama, some passion, friendship, family issues, & a bit of romance wrapped into this cute sports romance story by Amy Andrews.

This is a very much aiming at the Swifties with the book even being set in Kansas and the both the title and log line on the cover being Taylor Swift lyric references. I will admit though that as both a Taylor fan since speak now OG version and a Chiefs since 2019 that this is why I wanted to pick this up and see how it handles both or whether it is just a cash grab. My main issue with it was that I feel like it needed to commit more to actually then following or trying to replicate their story more as it used all those things of the cover to hook you in but then the actual story did t follow through for me. I didn’t mind the actual plot if the book and it was easy to get through but the whole time it just felt like the outside of the book and inside of the book were 2 different things. I think I would have rated it higher had it just been marketed as a football romance without all the swiftie hints on the cover.
