My Review: 5/5 Stars 

Asher and Levi have been rivals since the beginning. A misunderstanding on the field between their two high school teams led to a rivalry like no other. Both captains of the high school football (soccer) teams they lead the charge against one another in a series of pranks off the field and a little too rough of a game on the field. But what happens when they take this fight a little too far? Or better yet, realize that perhaps all this pent up hate against one another isn't really hate at all. A heat of the moment and a kiss that changes everything. What happens when two enemies suddenly become the opposite? I guess there really is a thin line between love and hate. Now they can't seem to stay away form one another but how do they deal with their respective teams? The rivalry still exists but can they finally call a truce that everyone will listen to? Loved this story! It is a true enemies to lovers trope with a side of finding a new side to your sexuality you may not have been exactly aware of before. The tension and banter between Levi and Asher are great and when the tables turn on them and they realize that they have feelings for one, even better. I enjoyed their story and so many of these characters!
