Sports romance that is actually closed door? Almost unheard of on Booktok or online? That’s why this one stands out from the crowd. Banter that hits, a romance you root for, and closed door for all the ‘juicy’ stuff.
The Cheat Sheet
Hi, my name is Bree Camden, and I’m hopelessly in love with my best friend and star quarterback Nathan Donelson (so is half of America, judging by the tabloids and how much the guy dates). The first step is admitting, right? Except, I can never admit it to him because he clearly doesn’t see me that way, and the last thing I want is for things to get weird between us. Nothing but good old-fashioned, no-touching-the-sexiest-man-alive, platonic friendship for us! Everything is exactly how I like it! Yes. Good. (I’m not crying, I’m just peeling an onion.)
Our friendship is going swimmingly until I accidentally spill my beans to a reporter over too much tequila, and now the world seems to think me and Nathan belong together. Oh, and did I mention we have to date publicly for three weeks until after the Super Bowl because we signed a contract with…oops, forgot I can’t tell anyone about that! Bottom line is, now my best friend is smudging all the lines and acting very un-platonic, and I’m just trying to keep my body from bursting into flames every time he touches me.

My Review
One of the easiest 5 stars I have ever given a book.
It was cute, funny, swoon worthy, emotional in all the best places, and just plain fun to read.
I loved Bree and Nathan. The fake dating was perfect with the friends to lovers trope. It was just everything I want in a romance book.
Would I Recommend This Book?
Yes. I think while sometimes the line got pretty close in what open and closed door is all about, it maintained that and the bantering and relationship dynamics were a good time.
