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.
“It was the end of an era. No more Raiders, no more high school, but a new adventure.”
Bittersweet. Addicting. Breath of fresh air.
Cotton has masterfully created a world of characters that complete captured my soul. These Raiders and their fiery women have taken me by storm. The characters are unforgettable and their stories are completely captivating.
The Endgame is You follows the stories of Hailee and Cameron, Jason and Felicity, and Asher and Mya. These three power couples all had their own stories back in The Trouble With You, The Game You Play and The Harder You Fall. Make sure you head back and read those three stories FIRST tog eat the full feel of all of these amazing characters.
Endgame was bittersweet but everything us Rixon fans needed. I love nothing more than getting extra bonus scenes from stories that I love, but this took the cake. I laughed, I cried, I smiled.. I loved being back in Rixon.
I can’t wait to see what Cotton creates next. I’ll be looking forward to it!
“There had once been a time I’d thought football was everything… but football was the dream. This right here, this was the life. It was everything.”
Rate: +5/ 5 stars
Oh my god, my heart! This is the series that introduced me to L A Cotton so it will always be special to me but she managed to make it even more special with this series epilogue. This book was so emotional.
You get to see them all say godbye to each other in the prologue before they head off to college and then the book is divided into three parts, each one for each couple and wow. They were all so good. They packed a punch, specially Cam and Hailee. That one had me bawling. My babies go through so much.
You get to see all three couples take on college and you seem them struggle with this new chapter in their lives and how these changes affect their relationship. It’s heartwrenching, it’s sexy, it’s emotional, it is everything! I loved getting to see all these characters again and see them love each other so much they were willing to do anything for each other and to keep their relationship.
The Endgame is You is one of the best endings to a series I’ve read. Everything came full circle and you were able to see again how much they all loved each other. It was beautiful and it was just so good to hang out with these characters again. I’m so excited to see them as parents and to meet their kids!
The Endgame Is You. Any title could be more accurate…. THIS book is amazing and proving again Boys and Girls will be forever my favorite!!!!
I adore this series, and I cannot imagine my life without it in my life. Mrs. Cotton with these 3 short novellas break my heart with healing it in the same exactly moment. I was speachless a d breathless for most of my reading time… but oh boy!!!!! I want to scream – Rixon Raiders- I wanna claim ALL OF YOU hihi I absolutely fallin love with them in their books and The Engame just made me feel sure… There is any other books and Series like this one! I wanna, live forever into this world.
Absolutely MUST READ TITLE!!!
THIS BOOK WAS ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING!!!
It was everything that a reader wants and needs after finishing a series they love! I have loved all of these Rixon Raiders since Cameron & Hailee’s book came out back in June of 2019 and each book that came after theirs just cemented my addiction for this world!
When LA Cotton announced there would be a 4th book; a return to each couple that made up the Rixon Raiders series I squealed! As a reader, have you ever finished a book and it was amazing. Perfect! Everything you wanted and the author left you feeling completely satisfied with the way she ended things….but for some reason it was like your soul just needed a tad bit more. Just a little something else because you loved that world and already missed it the moment you turned the last page. This was me for Rixon Raiders and THIS BOOK FULFILLED that NEED!
It follows each couple as they navigate their way through college and do their best to keep their heads above water as life tries to swallow them whole. If you’ve followed this world and were just as excited as I was to get this don’t be surprised if you smile, cry, laugh and remember the moments that made these couples who they are from the other books almost as fondly as if it was real life.
This series is a 5 star series for me! I loved each and every book from this series and highly recommend it! Reading order is below!
Rixon Raiders
#1 The Trouble With You
#2 The Game You Play
#3 The Harder You Fall
#4 The Endgame Is You
I really, really love when my favorite stories have extended epilogues to get a glimpse of the characters in the future. So for there to be entire book dedicated to a favorite series, I’m beyond excited.
Each couple has a section devoted solely to them and their life in college. I won’t lie, I was more than a little weepy while reading. They each have their own trials and troubles on their way to happily ever after. It’s an emotional journey for each, heartwarming and sometimes heartbreaking. It makes the end so much sweeter.
Even better, this is the perfect setup for the spin-off series that centers around the next generation. I can’t wait to come back to this world in the next series!
5 “Love Hard” Stars
Oh, how I missed the Raiders and their girls! I was so excited to dive into The Endgame Is You and watch their relationships grow through their college experiences. These three couples made me fall in love with them all over again with this novel being the perfect extended epilogue to the Rixon Raiders Series.
Jason has grown so much since his arrogant ways in high school. His love for Felicity is so palpable and truly magnificent. Football is his passion and it shows in college with his dedication to the sport. But his true love is Felicity! Being so invested with his team creates a certain distance between Jase and Felicity. She’s hurting with doubts about the future of their relationship. I loved how they navigate these difficult moments and how Jason steps up and proves that she’s the most important thing in his life. He had me swooning hard for him.
Then we have Asher and Mya! This couple lives their love life so beautifully. They’re the perfect couple, always there for each other. Asher is still the same jokester, but at the same time he’s so far gone for Mya. There’s no doubt in his mind that she’s the one and that makes him even more endearing! He’s the ever supportive boyfriend to her and her dreams. Mya is the same confident girl, driven and selfless in her desire to help others.
Finally, there’s Hailey and Cameron. I must admit that those two broke my little heart! I was in agony for them! As much as they love each other so deeply, their relationship is tested when Cam’s family suffers some hard time. Between his college life miles away from Rixon with Hailey and being supportive of his family’s hardship is nearly impossible. He needs to decide what are his priorities and make difficult choices that had me teary-eyed.
Seriously, all three couples had me entranced by their journeys! I enjoyed that in spite of the distance between these friends, they’re always available to help each other against the hurdles life puts in their ways. Their bond is unbreakable and utterly mesmerizing. They’re more than friends: they’re family! The Endgame Is You is without a doubt my favorite book in this series! The level of feels these pages delivers had me captivated all read long. I’m now so eager for the next generation of Raiders coming next year!!!
** ARC received in exchange for an honest review **
This book is such a treat for fans of the Rixon Raiders series! I loved getting to check-in and get more of my favorite Rixon couples!
This book is told in multiple parts, from right before and throughout college, and with the perfect epilogue that acts as a bridge into a brand new series. While each couple has their own part, I loved that their friendships were stronger than ever and everyone’s lives are still entwined.
Emotions are definitely high throughout. There are obstacles, tears, and an overwhelming sense of family, love & friendship that was the backbone of this series. Unfortunately, this wasn’t my favorite Rixon book, but tt was definitely great to get more from these characters, and I’m excited to see what the future holds for them!
What a perfect end to a series that has been an addiction of mine over the last few months. It’s always a wrench to say goodbye to characters I’ve grown to love, but sadly all good books and series must come to an end.
Fans of the Rixon Raiders are in for a treat with Jason, Cam, and Asher all moving onto the next chapter in their lives. They face more of the same as well as new struggles and triumphs, which they must overcome with the love and support of the young women who make them better people.
There is drama, and laughter and plenty of love to go around. I highly recommend this fabulous series and book. Thank you to the author for such a wonderful read…I received an advanced copy of this book from the author
I have loved the Rixon Raiders series from the very start and this could not have been a more perfectly epilogue for one of my favorite series. We get to spend time with each and every couple, falling in love with them all over again as they go through the ups and downs of life together. As always with this series, you can expect an emotional punch to go with the epic HEA’s that each couple gets, and that will definitely result in you being glued to this book.
It’s the end of an era as we know it. These Raiders captured me from the very beginning and I am so sad to see them go.
Each couple with their happy endings, although not without a lot of hard work on their parts closes this series up so nicely, while paving the way for so much more.
I can’t wait to see what else Cotton has in store for us.
This one absolutely has my heart! The End Game Is You is a glimpse into the future of the characters from the first 3 books in this series and cannot be read as a stand alone. So if you haven’t read those, stop here, go do that, you won’t be sorry as this entire series has been awesome and I am so sad to see it end.
But what an amazing end it is! I have loved all of the books in this series and each of these couples have a special place in my heart. I loved getting to see how each of their stories play out after highschool. I couldn’t get enough and read this one in sitting.
I loved this entire series and can’t wait to see what Cotton brings us next!
I really enjoyed reading this series and it’s sad to see it coming to an end but it’s great to revisit the Rixon Raiders boys and girls. I laughed, cried and swooned reading the next chapters in their lives. It is not a standalone and you should read the other three books first but it is totally worth the read. It was a great end to this series and can’t wait to see what is next in store.
Jase, Felicity, Asher, Mya, Cam and Hailee have left their hometown to go to college and embark a new beginning in their lives. Each have their own trials & tribulations, trying to deal with everything thrown in their way. Each couple following their path and hopefully have a happy ending as through it all, the bond and friendship everyone has formed in the past years, becomes stronger than ever while everyone is dealing with their own issues.
Jase & Felicity are struggling to find a way between keeping their relationship going amidst Jase’s football career. They’re trying to make it work but schedules are busy and Felicity is struggling to keep her head above water. Will they find a way to rise through it all…
Asher & Mya’s relationship is going strong but doubts start to arise in Mya’s head; if they will have a future together or not. But Asher is not willing to give her up and will do anything to make her see that she’s the one for him. Will their love be strong enough to withstand it all…
Cam and Hailee have been through a lot and when tragedy strikes yet again with Cam’s family, their relationship is becoming strained. Cam doesn’t know what to do and tries to do the best he can for everyone. Although the love for one another is still strong, it all seems to take its toll on both of them. Will they make it through and have their happy ending?…
I have no words for how much I love The Endgame is You! LA Cotton brought back all three couples in one epic conclusion to the series. I laughed, and I cried. I left every word of this book in my heart. I guess I didn’t realize how much I love these characters until they were gone.
Jason and Felicity were couple one and man did they have me in tears. But I have to say Jason Ford stepped up when it was needed and fixed both Felicity’s and my broken hearts. Being the starting quarterback that everyone wanted a piece of really caused Jason to lose sight of what he found most important. He absolutely took Felicity for granted. While Jason was living his best life Felicity was struggling and in turn had to get a tutor. A very male tutor who was definitely into her and didn’t like Jason. I cried a lot of tears at the end of their part.
Asher and Mia are absolutely unbreakable. Or so you think. It’s amazing how one mean girl can bully you into thinking you think something else than you do. I didn’t find them as emotional and worry about them ending because it’s not who they are. They had been through too much to end it because of one heartbroken girl. I think their issues were definitely growing pains in a relationship as they grow.
Cameron and Hailee broke me for the second time in this book. I can’t imagine being in Cameron’s shoes and not knowing what is right. All I know is that when Hailee went back to Michigan I cried real ugly tears. It was painful to read.
LA Cotton delivered an angsty, emotional, rollercoaster of an ending for these Raiders. She had me on the edge of my seat needing more. I read the entire book in one sitting and then another time after that. Yes, I read it twice before release day. And no I’m not sorry. This may be one of my favorite LA Cotton books.
It’s the end of an era and I’m so sad These Rixon Raiders completely stole my heart and now I don’t know what to do with myself.
LA Cotton bought all the feels with not just this book but the whole series. I found myself laying in bed, reading The Endgame is you with tears streaming down my face. At one point I was ready to give up because La Cotton was breaking me but then I remembered that she’s never let me down before so I took a breather and then went back to have my heart broken some more.
It was such a bittersweet story but I didn’t know how much I needed it until I started to read it. I couldn’t put it down. If you love sports romances, high school/college, banter for days, angst that will rip you apart and epic love stories then read this series!
Join the OG Rixon Raiders one last time and prepare for them to make you cry.

Good Lord I thoughts books 1 to 3 gutted me but seeing how far they have come is just mind blowing. Not only did we see them fall in love but seeing them struggle to keep the love just teared me apart. Loved seeing Jase and Felicty, Asher and Mya but man my heart almost stopped with Hailey and Chase. I’m like no L.A. Cotton dont do this to this reader their love is what started everything seeing how far they have matured. Seeing Hailey and Jase actually act like sister and brother was beautiful but most of all Cameron. Now here is a man that feels he is at a crossroad and boy L.A. Cotton doesn’t make it easy for any of them. This was a beautiful series and seeing them well through the End Game truly feels like a touchdown for everyone. AWESOME!!
“I received an eBook copy from the publisher for the purpose of an honest review. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own.”
The Endgame is you is a book with like 3 extended epilogues or mini-stories about Jason, Asher & Cameron and their girls!
They all attend college now, and adulting is hard. For each of them. Can they make it work?
This book just hit me deeply. All the feelings are on the surface, and let’s say I was a blubbering mess at the end!
But: this might be the end, but it’s also a beginning!
Bring on the kids Lianne, bring them on! I can’t wait.
This is the 4th book in this phenomenal series and is the perfect ending to this series. Cameron / Hailee, Jason / Fee, and Asher/ Maya, have all gone their separate ways as they leave to attend different colleges, and the friendship bond between them never fades. Each couple are facing different challenges and finding a balance between their relationships and the sports they love. Will their relationships survive their challenges? This is a beautifully written story which this amazing author has done an amazing job in penning. This story is an emotional roller coaster, as well as having heartbreak, emotions, and love. I am sad that this is the end but look forward to the next generations to come. I was totally captivated throughout this addictive page turner, and I highly recommend this authors work for all readers.
It’s the end of an era, their time with the rixon raiders has come to an end.
New horizons are calling. Different directions are taken, but a bond like theirs will carry them through the highs and lows, wont it?
Ohhh how I loved reading this series, being introduced to the members of the Rixon Raiders and watching their lives and loves unfold.
This book belongs to each of the three couples, and there is a lingering sadness in the air, knowing the end is near. But if your a fan of this series you need to know what happens next, and see where life takes them.
It’s a journey in itself this book. My heart ached, my face smiled and by the end of it, even though I didnt want to, I was ready to say goodbye to them.
L.A Cotton has written a series I for one will not forget, and I can’t thank her enough for this little glimpse into their futures.
I was so happy to be able to go back and spend some extra time with these characters. It was very easy to slip back into the Rixon world. Sad it’s over but can’t wait for the kids stories!
Play hard … Fight hard … Love hard.
That is what all three of these couples do. This was a great ending to some of my favorite characters. This story told of three couples that have an epic love but can also have their ups and downs. Each couples story had my emotions all over the place. Through all the ups and downs they all got the ending they deserved. A must read for the Rixon Raider fans.
