I’m gonna admit that I am not quite sure what to rate this due to the excess language at times. But otherwise it was great. One thing that I have comment on is the FMC’s love for her child. It was so heartwarming.

Genre: ya contemporary, sports romance
Age: older young adult/new adult
Series/Standalone: series. I read as a standalone but it is probably best to read the prior books.
Tropes: single mother
Content: FMC has a daughter that was born after rape, some intense kissing but it doesn’t go further, MMC comes across father having affair, language
Rating: 4/5 Stars ( )

I knew I would enjoy Brady and Riley's story because I have loved Brady from the beginning, but I had some issues with the storyline. The whole Uncle Boone thing seemed to come out of nowhere for me. He seemed like such a stand-up and loyal man in the first book and his indiscretion kind of blindsided me. Maybe that's what Abbi was going for? I guess it can happen that way in real life. Either way, it broke my heart. I also had issues with Rhett. Why does he make an appearance at the end? Again, it seemed to come out of nowhere and didn't really add anything to the story for me. I wanted some justice... A heartfelt apology.. A swift kick to his balls... Something. I don't know. I also hated the ending. It seemed like the distance thing didn't get resolved. I would have loved an epilogue into the future so we could see where everyone was. I want to see where the whole gang ends up. Overall, I really liked the story, but some areas just fell flat for me. Maybe it's because I loved West and Maggie's story so much? I'm not sure. I have loved all of Abbi Glines' books, so I am hoping the next one ties everything in a pretty bow for me. I would love to see where everyone ended up. ( )

I am sorry the series has now ended. I loved Brady and Riley in this one. It was not to see the other characters from the last two books with them. Would recommend to all. ( )

This has been my favorite book of the series so far. It built on the first two and I liked that we still saw the other couples, but Brady and Riley are my favorite couple. Riley was raped by the town golden boy and no one believed her. She now has a daughter and is trying to make the most of her situation. Brady thought everything was going great, until he realizes people aren't always the perfect facade they put on.
The way Brady treats Riley and her daughter is so sweet. He's a good son and friend and he has a future laid out. Riley has let things go and moved on in a way a lot of people wouldn't be able to. They are both resilient and stronger together. The narration for the audiobook was great and I really enjoyed listening to this. ( )

Loved this book, I really enjoy this series, it's just good old fashioned YA. definitely 14 for language, there is no sex, but obviously with the topic there is alluding to, and even that is glossed over. it's almost wholesome. The story kept me up until 2 Am reading, I couldn't put it down. Some times you just need these sweet ya romances to make you take stock of your life. told in dual pov. ( )
