Play hard … Fight hard … Love hard.
The time has come for Cameron, Jason, and Asher to hang up their Rixon Raider jerseys and head off to college with the girls they love.
But will their relationships stand the test of college life, new friendships, and most of all, football?
*The Endgame Is You is a Rixon Raiders Epilogue. It must be read after the other books in the series.
This was the perfect extended epilogue for all of the Rixon Raiders. Absolutely gut wrenching perfection. I was a bawling mess but I loved every minute of this.
Guys, I’ve finished this book and OMG!!!!!! I floved it. Everyone needs to read this series and then 1-click this baby! I was swooning and melting into a puddle by the end of the second chapter! The Rixon guys really are something I laughed and I cried and swooned some more. I need Jase These raiders are everything! I give this 5 huge ‘s. This really ties up everything nicely and I can’t wait for #nextgen . But be warned, you WILL need tissues, ice cream and chocolate to help you get through . It will ALL be worth it though
ARC REVIEW- The Endgame by L.A. Cotton
O.M.G….I still have a running nose from the tears. The Endgame has parts that will bring you to tears. Ok…seriously I laughed, cried, smiled, got mad, cheered, got frustrated and felt so many other emotions. I love The Endgame. L.A. Cotton, author, has fast become one of my favorite authors. She write books that have lots and lots of heat and emotions. L.A spins some stories that keeps you guessing and so engrossed in the story that you don’t want to put the book down and get upset over any interruptions. I figured out that when I start a book from L.A. to make sure I won’t have interruptions or start too late at night or I will be up all night reading. The Endgame is book 4 of the Rixon Raiders series and focuses on the characters college years and mentions what happened to the couples. Each couple had their own road to travel and it was not easy. Poor Cam had the roughest and I cried the most with his story. I won’t say what happened but have tissues ready. Highly recommend this book, it is a MUST read!!
I both read and listened to The Endgame so this review will reflect that too. The narrators were perfect for the story. They had emotions and inflections down pat with The Endgame. Narrator are so important when listening to an audiobook. I love the Kindles hand off so you can read or listen to the book depending on your preference. For me, I like to listen when I am doing chores like washing dishes or driving. Then in bed I will read as sometimes I read faster than the narrators would. I know you can adjust how fast it reads to you but I it’s usually too slow or too fast and not easy to find the perfect speed. But whether you listen or you read The Endgame you will not be disappointed. Have fun finding out what is happening with all of our (the readers who are big fan of the Rixon Raiders series) favorite couples…Hailey and Cam, Felicity and Jason, and Mia and Asher. I can wait for the next generation in Off Limits (Rixon High).
This was a wonderful story as it sums up the college years of our favorite Rixon Raiders.Their lives aren’t all sunshine and rainbows. The guys are on their college football teams, it makes it difficult for them to stay connected with their girls and families..There’s moments of jealousy, torment, grief, doubts. Each couple has their own story and difficulties. Tissues are needed especially for Cams and Hailey’s story. The epilogue brings the series full circle. This is a series that I really enjoyed!
Wen Ross and Sarah Puckett are very talented narrators. i loved how they showed them at their strongest, weakest and most vulnerable moments. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this series.

Awesome Endgame! Outstanding Series & Listen
The Endgame Is You
Rixon Raiders, Book 4
By: L A Cotton
Narrated by: Sarah Puckett, Wen Ross
Series: Rixon Raiders Series, Book 4
Wow, what a perfect way to end a wonderful series! It is sad to see the series end but it is great to see where the three couples, Jase and Fee, Cam and Hailee, Ash and Mya, wind up and show how they fared in college. Some had struggles for others it was smooth sailing, some may surprise you. The boys are still playing football for their prospective college teams, fulfilling their dreams. We get a glimpse inside each couple’s life and see how they deal with it. I loved how they all stayed in touch and where they all wind up in the end. This book is a bonus epilogue and a great addition to the series, thank you L A Cotton for taking us full circle and for the wonderful wrap up.
And for the wonderful narration, Sarah Puckett and Wen Ross were the perfect cast to bring these characters and their story to life. They portrayal of each character was awesome, they grasped each character’s persona, then took the role and ran with it while making it their own. Their narration enhances an already awesome story to another level of awesomeness. They are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another awesome listen

¡Me encantó! Leer un libro-epílogo de un universo que me ha encantado es el sueño de todo lector.
Nuestras parejas favoritas siguen creciendo y teniendo nuevos retos y cosas que enfrentar.
Me encanta saber que habrá otra generación.
Este libro, sin duda, fue la mejor forma de cerrar con la serie.

I so loved it! This epilogue book, letting us know more about a universe and characters that are our favorites is just every reader’s dream.
The favorite couples of Rixon High continue to deal with different and complicated moments. Their relationships change and evolve. Being introduced to a new generation was incredible.
Without a doubt, the best way to end the series.
This book was terribly sad though. Each couple ended with a HEA, but that was after a truly difficult time to overcome. I seemed to be more heartbroken throughout this book, rather than happy. I loved how each story was so different. And the VERY end…I could only laugh. This does work as a standalone, but reading the others just makes it better.
Sarah Puckett & Wen Ross are excellent narrators! They made this book with their performances. Beautifully done.

The story continues about our favorite 3 couples …
Now they started College and getting along with their lives..
Cameron & Hailey;
More drama lamas, art, cancer, death, surprise, maybe a baby
Jason & Felicity;
Jason is Jason.. he goes big or nothing…
Surprise proposal…
Asher & Mya;
Foster kids, love, cuteness overload, Asher is the biggest secret teddy bear we all need
It was fun to read how these 3 couples were growing and getting to see what the futures beholds for them.
The ending is spoiling us with an Sneek peak about an new series of books that sound promising…
A 4 star read.
This is my favorite of the Rixon Raiders series. I loved reading what happened after high school, knowing that even when there’s love that relationships are still work and how each of the couples is tested later in life. I would never have guessed that the Jason we met at the beginning of the Rixon Raiders series would be the one who impressed me the most by the end. It’s disappointing that another coach calls the players “ladies”, so if I could change one thing, it would be not to use “ladies” as an insult.
I listened to the audio version. Sarah Puckett and Wen Ross were consistent throughout the series. They did a fabulous job and I would definitely listen to them both again.

oh god, I just finished this book and yeah, she did it, l. a. cotton made me cry again.
All I can say is that this book leaves you with a bittersweet taste in your mouth, it’s a whole experience, full of happiness, sadness, heartaches and hope.
i can’t believe we’re finally saying goodbye to a generation of rixon raiders and honestly, this epilogue couldn’t be more perfect.
in this book we can see how they grew up so much, they’re not teenagers anymore, they’re not just a good boy, a bad boy and a broken boy anymore, they’re adults and like all adults, they have their ups and downs and for a moment I thought it was going to be more downs than ups but I was so wrong.
they did it, they found happiness, they’re living their best lives and I am so proud of them.
what else can I say? well if you know me you know I love the authors writing style, honestly, it’s so easy to read and so good I always finish her books in like a day! I cannot wait to read the next generation of rixon raiders.
a final thing to say, ma’am the part about Gio being friends with Jason? i mean if there’s a possibility of a crossover between rixon raiders and Verona county boys, I’ll be so down to read it!
The End Game is you wraps up the Rixon Raiders perfectly.
You get to see how each couple continues their journeys and what life deals them. They all worry that college will change the bond they have with each couple going to different places. One thing that continues to be strong no matter what the distance between them is the bond you saw throughout the other books.
An amazing way to end the series.
With this last book in this series, L.A. Cotton delivered quite fantastic final. As this book is built in three parts, we follow all three couples chasing their HEA. We see them struggling in the most touching and sensitive ways. We find them even more vulnerable than we already know they are and it almost broke my heart in the end. My heart was crying out loud because it was so deeply touched.
If you’ve loved the series before, this book will definitely push you over the edge.
4 Stars

First off, WOW, Endgame Is You is just amazing. It is book 4 in the Rixon Raiders series, by L. A. Cotton and yes you must read them in order to enjoy the full experience of these stories. Especially Endgame, it is the wrap-up of the previous three stories and I am even more in love with these characters than before.
Sometimes we just want that little bit more and L. A. Cotton has delivered with a sparkly bow on top.
I absolutely LOVE how this story is mapped out/revealed. I don’t know how you keep everything in order to write this.
As the end of an era has come we have seen Cameron, Jason, and Asher through High School and now through college and beyond.
Life isn’t easy, there are curveballs, but when you have your endgame by your side, nothing is impossible.
Each of their respective stories, are at different times during college and the interceptions were thrown at them and it is just brilliantly written.
This is the perfect ending, this book has three stories in one of my favorite three couples. Jason seems to have fallen into a life with his college football career while Felicity seems to be struggling at every turn. She starts to question everything, including their love. Asher seems to want more than Mya is ready for, will this push them further apart? Cameron is being torn in three different directions; Hailee, family and football what will he choose?
I loved all the stories but Cameron and Hailee broke my heart at times. Their story truly brought tears to my eyes. I loved how this series ended and was sad to see it end. Loved these characters as they brought so much to each of their stories. Highly recommend this series start to finish.
***4,5 “Every-fucking-thing!” stars***
“We were young. Three guys chasing their dreams of football, fame and fortune. But we’d already found our forever girls. And that was worth everything. Every fucking thing.”
Have you ever wonder after finishing a book, what these people would be after???
Are they still living their HEA??? Or the happiness just lasted that much???
Well, with this book, Lianne is going a step ahead of us and she’s presenting us the after…
After Cameron & Hailee, Jason & Felicity, Asher & Mya’s happily ever afters… and I couldn’t be more happy than I am!!!!
I loved returning back to this series and to see these guys for once again!!!
“It was the end of an era. No more Raiders, no more high school, but a new adventure.”
In here, a new chapter is starting on everyone’s life…
The guys are leaving behind Rixon Raiders and they are spreading their wings to fly with their girls by their side… These lovely girls that are chasing their own dreams.
College is a new beginning and the temptations are too many…
Will these three couples survive it and have the ultimate HEA???
Of course, the road ahead of them is too long and full of bumps. Will their love survive this new challenge that awaits them???
“College was a big step. Things would change. We would change.
But was Asher right?
Were the bonds between us strong enough to survive?”
Jason is my most favorite in this series and I loved seeing his crazy and possessive ass for once again… Jason was the best football player out there and a bright future awaits him around the corner. He and Felicity are holding still strong, but on their sophomore year, everything are changing… The doubts are barelling toward both of them and the things are pretty rocky between them…
I really loved Jason and Felicity!!! Yes, i could understand Felicity and her insecurities, but Jason never stopped being crazy in love with her and i loved him for that!!!
“No matter where the future took us, my heart would always belong to Jason Ford.”
“Losing Felicity was not an option. Not today. Not tomorrow. Not ever.”
Asher and Mya were in a very good place… until they weren’t…. And not because of them, but because of others…
For once again, Asher was his usual needy self, but hell, the way that he was loving Mya was beyond imagination. He was living for her and he could do anything for her….
Mya was a very lucky girl, who could persuade her dreams with the support of the man of her dreams…
“Asher was everything I never wanted… and everything I never knew I needed.”
“I was a Bennet. I had a game pla. one that included me and Mya and a happily-ever-after.”
As for Cameron and Hailee??? Unfortunately, they were in the worst position of everyone…
My heart was breaking for these two and the things that they had to sacrifice for the others…
They almost lost everything, but love is powerful enough to bring them back to each other…
Cameron was in a very difficult dilemma and Hailee broke her own heart in order to set him free and put out the weight from Cameron’s shoulders!!!
“Why, every time he left, did it feel like the space between us grew?”
“Xander was family, my blood, and everything in me was screaming at me that he needed me… but Hailee, she was my heart, my home.
How the fuck was I supposed to choose between them?
I love these three couples very much and I’m kinda sad that i have for once again to let go of them, but the next generation is coming and honestly, I can not wait to see more of them…
If you haven’t read this series, please do it!!!! I can’t recommend them enough!!!
“PLAY HARDER, WORK HARDER… LOVE HARDER, AND THE REST WILL FOLLOW.”
**I received an ARC for the exchange of an honest review**
All I can say is my heart is full. The Endgame is You is the PERFECT conclusion to this series. I couldn’t have hoped for more. Jason really stole the show here between the guys. The way he is with Flick, the words he says will have you swooning. Asher will always hold a piece of my heart for what Mya & him endured but this little snippet of them really had me in all my feels. Cameron and Hailee OMG I almost died but all is good in the world. Seriously LOVE this whole gang and can’t wait for the next generation.
A story of three friends Nd the women they love more than anything. Life from high school to college has more twists and turns than expected; but the motto they live by : Play hard … Fight hard … Love hard is what keeps them together. This book shows us that Cameron, Asher and Jason have learned what it is to love and be loved. They have learned that there is room for more than football in their lives. An amazing conclusion that gives what the happily ever after Halley, Flick and Mya have dreamed of but never thought was possible.
Fun, funny and filled with heat. Sit down grab a bowl of popcorn and let the game unfold!
I can’t believe the boys are all grown up. This ending was fantastic. I was in tears because it was the end and loved seeing how every couple matured and grew closer together. Jason and Fee are as crazy and even more magnetic together. Asher is even more loving and will do anything to make Mya happy. And my favorite couple Cam and Hailee, when things get worse for Cam’s mom and Xander starts acting out their relationship is put to the test. An amazing end to a great series!
Oh my wee heart!!
What an ending to this series!!
It was brilliant to get a snapshot into each of the couples lives and despite difficulties, distance and life itself these friends are there!! There is so much emotion within this book, along with true friendship and action.
I’ve loved this series!!
This ending was superb! I absolutely loved the way LA Cotton has finished off this series for us.
‘The Endgame is You’ is written in such a way as it follows the couples through their 3 years at college, with each year focusing on a different couple. Each couple gets their closure and glimpse into their futures together, or not…?
Filled with the expected angst, tears and laughter which had me wanting to just keep reading.
This was the perfect ending for what has been a fantastic series. And I cannot wait for the spin-off series for the new generation!!
