Play hard … Fight hard … Love hard.

*The Endgame Is You is a Rixon Raiders Epilogue. It must be read after the other books in the series.
The Endgame is You is the perfect, bittersweet ending to the popular Rixon Raiders Series by L.A. Cotton. It follows each couple from the first 3 Rixon books after they graduate from high school and tests their relationships with several life changing events. I loved Endgame and felt a bit of sadness knowing this was the end, but Cotton does a wonderful job of writing an entertaining, emotional finale that does the Series justice! 5 Stars!
5 STARS
OH. MY. GOODNESS. This book is E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G!!! I am so sad that this is the final book in the Rixon Raiders series, the silver lining is knowing that we will get to meet the new generation of Rixon Raiders soon! This book was the perfect conclusion and gave me enough of each couple to carry me through until the new anticipated series or my next re-read, whichever comes first. I highly recommend reading this series. My heart and mind is definitely tattooed with ‘PROPERTY OF A RAIDER.’ The Endgame Is You by L.A. Cotton is an EPIC sports romance that will join the ranks of the BIBLIO-ARISTOCRACY!!
It was a great way to end the series between three couples . It was a fantastic book and I can’t wait to read more of L.A Cotton books
The Endgame is a wonderfully penned conclusion to the Rixon Raiders series. It unites us with each young man from the series, and their lovely counterparts. It gives you a deeper glimpse into their lives and what the future holds for each of them. I must admit I am sad to see them move on and have to close the final chapter on some of my favorite characters, but as they say all good things must come to an end. I will also say it was fun to reunite with each of them and rediscover all the feels their love stories stirred up. This is truly a can’t miss series for sports romance readers, each character is bound to find their way into your heart and their stories are certain to squeeze your hearts in all the right places. Highly recommend!!
I requested an advanced copy of this title from the publisher, and I am voluntarily leaving my honest and unbiased opinion
I loved this series and this book was the perfect ending. We got points of view from all 3 couples and I just loved every single word.
I really liked how the book was set out and it was written really well as all of LA Cottons books are.
I’m happy that we got this final book from the Rixon Raiders but am so disappointed it’s over. It’s one of those series’ that you just want more from.
Highly recommend!
Wow what a amazing ending to this series. This is a up down read that will have you pulled in and having a book hangover after this read.
Yay! Anytime I can get more of the Rixon Raiders, my day is made. This book contains three more stories about our favorite couples. I love that the stories flow into each other, and there are no gaps or asynchronicity. My favorite pair is Hailee and Cameron, but the novella I truly enjoyed was Jason’s and Felicity’s epilogue. It showed a softer side of Jason. The ordinarily strong and secure Felicity shows a more vulnerable side, and I love how Jason steps up and shows that they are “endgame.” For the rest of the epilogue stories, you will need a full box of Kleenexes. It had all the feels. I experienced so many emotions I suffered from whiplash. Endgame is a great way to bring closure to our Rixon Raiders and tease us with a taste of Raiders’ second generation.
The Endgame Is You (Rixon Raiders #4) is a sweet epilogue tribute to the Rixon Raiders. Tears will be shed, laughter in the air and heartfelt moments. Told in multi pov with a wonderful cast of characters along with exceptional supporting ones. We get three mini novellas in one novella. This is the icing on the cake that leads into the next generation series. Can’t wait for what’s next.
The Raiders are off to college and they have survived numerous obstacles and tribulations to get to this point. The angst, oh the angst!!
Now all three couples are attending different colleges and trying to stay connected while attending classes, keeping their football careers going, and their new relationships alive. Each couple faces new challenges, but luckily they have each other to fall back on for support and even though they may not all be together, they will forever be a Rixon Raider.
This book interconnects all three couples into one book, but it does break them down into their own individual unique stories over three parts. We know these three couples are interconnected from the original books. Their bond through their tribulations made them almost infallible, but like any couple there will be ups and downs. I love that these stories show those moments and how each couple deals with them in their own unique way.
The book weaves us in and out of their college years and looks at each couple throughout those years. This time we don’t have the dark undertones, as each couple has already won their significant other, but they now have different hardships to face.
Jason is looking at a grueling football schedule, with the possibility of the NFL in his future. While both he and Felicity have always known this, it’s a different reality in the face of college life on a new relationship.
While Asher still wears his emotions on his sleeve and he would ask Mya to marry him tomorrow if he didn’t know his girlfriend like he did. Mya is still working on how to take her big, cuddly, teddy bear of a boyfriend at times, but these two made me want to cry over their emotional story.
Cameron is struggling attending school so far away from home. He loves living with Hailee and playing football, but he hates living so far from his family. Torn in two he’s an emotional wreck and it may cost him everything he’s worked so hard for.
All three men and all three stories live up to the motto, play hard…fight hard…love hard.
Oh hunnay!! (I have been watching to much youtube videos) This is a bitter sweet conclusions of our favorite couples. How they deal with their new milestones after highschool Rixon Raiders. But, I loved reading through this. I would recommend reading this then re-read from the beginning all over again.
I love this series!! To read The Endgame Is You was so bittersweet. We get three stories, one of each couple in college. Each couple goes through struggles but come through it with their relationship stronger.
“Love was what made us human. But how someone else loved us made us feel more than human.“
So then we get a glance of all their futures, as a closer, but it also brings a new opening for the Rixon Raiders!!
The ending book to a amazing series. This one takes you they all 3 couple’s college years. It gives your their ups and downs and how they managed to stay in love and together. Roller coaster of emotions and the angst only LA can give you. I’m sad to see the series end but looking forward to the next generation of Raiders.
The final goodbye!!!! This book is so bittersweet for those of us who have been with the Raiders since the beginning. This book allows us to see how each couple is doing as they navigate three different colleges without their High School support. This book is perfect in every way, and L.A. has definitely given these couple their perfect endings.
I can’t say more without giving anything away!!! Read this series as the Raiders go out in style!
The Rixon Raiders series is just incredible – it’s emotional, gripping and totally unputdownable once you start it. This epilogue that the author has written for us gives us more of what we experienced in the first three books and closes the series perfectly.
I have loved being back with these individuals that I have grown to love so much and I thought that the way that L.A. Cotton wrote The Endgame is You was brilliant. Jase, Asher and Cam; Felicity, Mya and Hailee leave Rixon to attend their chosen colleges and as expected the couples have remained together. The book tells us how things are going for them in the final three years of their time away and I loved how their highs, struggles and emotions were portrayed.
This book brought out all the emotions in me. I laughed, cried and swooned pretty much throughout and then my heart broke when I reached the final page. I’m sad that it’s over but knowing that their legacy will live on took the sting away a little. I absolutely love that I now know what happens to them all, and if all six remained the best of friends.
I adore each couple. I love the special friendship that this group share. I can’t not give Asher a shout out for being the best guy ever. For you single ladies out there, find your own Asher and don’t settle for anyone less! L.A. Cotton has already created some incredible characters over the years, but I have a feeling that Asher will always be my favourite of them all.
The Endgame is You must be read after the trilogy and I can assure you that you won’t be disappointed. I absolutely loved everything about this incredible series, and I am certain that you will too.
I just did not want this to end, i know we will get this crew in the next generation books but i just feel sad that it’s the end of their stories, can’t wait to get the kids book.
I really loved this book longer than i was expecting and more emotional than i could have imagined but if you are a fan of the Rixon Raiders series you will not be disappointed.
Everyone of these couples went through something that just hurt your heart but i loved seeing how they all ended up and there were a few things i don’t expect but i loved the whole journey.
I loved each and every book in the series and this was just the cherry on top to get us ready for the next.
Go in blind, go in expecting everything and you will love it all.
Book: The Endgame Is You (Rixon Raiders Book 4)
Author: L. A. Cotton
Rating: 4/5 endgame stars
“Were the bonds between us strong enough to survive?”
It’s a hard thing to say goodbye to these 3 couples. Over the past year, I’ve been so invested in this series, and it is safe to say L.A. Cotton did them justice and gave all of them the ending they deserved, (or did she???) And I’ll be forever happy to read the Rixon Raiders series.
The Endgame is You, is the final installment in the Rixon Raiders series and it follows the lives of our favorite couples while going through their college journey while navigating the hardships of adulthood.
Relationships will be put into test, insecurities will build a wall between them, and heartbreak is undoubtedly in store for Jason&Felicity, Asher&Mya, and Cameron&Hailee.
Ps: can’t wait for the next series!!!
ARC provided in exchange for an honest review.
Be still my heart, I know Lianne ripped it out and shattered my soul a couple of times while reading The Endgame Is You but she did these couples justice. I can’t wait for the next generation. Y’all this series is everything and a must read. #rixonraiders #diehardFan #alltheangst #HEA
„It was the end of an era. No more Raiders, no more high school, but a new adventure.”
Knowing that this is the end for my beloved Rixon Raiders makes me want to sit in a corner and start sobbing. These stories are THAT epic. L.A. Cotton outdid herself with creating this Young Adult series and these characters. And even though saying goodbye to them is bittersweet, I smile through tears because the epilogue in The Endgame Is You was incredibly heartwarming and touching.
This book gave me an insight into the lives of all 3 couples. Each of them ended up at a different university and had to struggle not only with missing friends, new responsibilities and new surroundings. Each couple faced their own set of problems. At times my heart was breaking in two and I wanted to get inside this book and put all the characters in a bubble wrap and protect them from pain, disappointment and heartbreak. But I didn’t have to do it because Cameron, Jason, and Asher once again proved that they would do WHATEVER IT TAKES! And watching them fight and love as hard as they showed us in the past was an amazing experience.
The Endgame Is You is a perfect addition to the series I fell deeply in love with. It was so good to get back with my favorite boys and their ladies and to see how college life is treating them. And although there were moments of angst and sadness in this book, I finished reading it with the biggest grin on my face and my heart full. I cannot wait for the 2nd generation series! I’m sure the kiddos will give their folks a run for their money and I’m here for it all!
Yes, please!
A sequel to one of my all-time favourite series?
I loved this book so much. Every time a story is finished in an HFN, I always wonder “What happens after those moments? In the next months or even years to come? “
The endgame is you is the perfect sequel to all these favourite couples. We get a glimpse into the life and, even if the road to that final chapter before starting the real adult one is not smooth for each one of them, LA Cotton has managed to keep a smile on my face throughout the book. There are moments of happiness, heartbreak and what-ifs, but the ultimate goal is well accomplished and I cannot wait for everyone to read this book.
Bring on the next generation because all that sassy and sweet behaviour will give a lot of trouble in the future.
If you thought L.A. Cotton would take it easy on her readers because this was the final goodbye to Cam,Jase, Asher and their ladies prepare yourself because this is an emotional rollercoaster. These guys have been some of my favourite young characters I have loved watching them go through their struggles find love whilst forming an unbreakable bond with each other. If it is possible I just fell in love with them all over again. The series may be over but the legacy of the characters will live on forever.
