From the bestselling author of the #Lovestruck novels comes a rousing romance about following your dreams, second chances, and playing the game of love.Disgraced college quarterback Logan Hunt was on his way to NFL stardom when he messed up big-time. Now the Texas star player with a bad temper has a new option: Seattle’s EOL College—as in End of the Line, to his fellow misfit recruits. It’s … misfit recruits. It’s Logan’s last chance. If he can follow the rules. No parties, no fighting, no swearing, and oh, no dating the coach’s daughter, Jess. Simple. Yeah, right. For Logan, there has never been a rule he’s more tempted to break.
The deal is “just friends.” The pretty, confident, and fiercely smart math whiz is fine with pizza, tutoring, and keeping Logan in line. But the closer Jess gets, the more receptive she is to his warm heart and spirit—not to mention his irresistible off-field passes. With defenses down, they’re both heading into the danger zone.
It’s more than thrilling. It’s love. It’s also a game changer that could sideline Logan’s NFL goals—and more important, a future with Jess. But dreams are worth fighting for, right?

When I see a new book by Sariah Wilson I know it’s going to have great dialogue between the characters, and a swoony yet clean romance with lots of sparks. Her latest didn’t disappoint. It has great characters and dialogue and a sizzling romance between people that were trying so hard to stay “just friends”.
I loved Logan!! He’s had a tough life and his temper got him thrown out of his last college, which is how he ended up at Edwin O’Leary College, aka EOL. Which also stands for End of the Line as in last chance. Logan’s holding onto his last chance with everything he has because getting his degree is so important to him. He doesn’t care how many rules Coach has, he plans to keep every one of them. I loved that he didn’t care if the other players were sneaking around doing things against the rules, he wasn’t going to join them. I loved his nicknames for Ben, the guy Jess thinks she’s into. My favorite was “Has Ben”.
I liked Jess. She had had a terrible thing happen during her freshman year but she didn’t let it destroy her. I admire people (even fictional ones) that are great at math and Jess is. That’s how she ends up spending so much time with Logan. Lucky girl. I loved her snarky comments about Danielle. My favorite “I despise her with the fiery, burning intensity of a thousand urinary tract infections.”
I really liked that Logan and Jess were friends for awhile before they admitted their feelings for one another and kissed, although it took so long I thought I might die from the anticipation, but it was totally worth the wait. I don’t know where the author comes up with such great dialogue for her characters but I love it. I always start marking things I think are funny but have to stop because I’d mark half the book. I almost forgot there’s a cameo of Evan “Awesome” Dawson!! #Awestruck
As content goes there’s kissing, some make-out scenes, talk of child neglect and abuse, mention of date rape drug and almost rape with no details.
I wanted to love this book…and I did love the characters. But I didn’t believe that he’d just dump all that info about his past on her so early in their relationships, and there were some editing mistakes that took away from my enjoyment.
We have another forbidden love. We have an angry jock Logan who almost lost what he lives for Football, but given a second chance he is trying to behave. And that would be fine if his tutor wasn’t the coaches daughter who hates football and everything with it. But as these two start spending time with each other feelings change, attitudes change but the problems persist and how will they deal with them.. It is a slow burn and I am sorry to say but i miss the hotness..
