| Desert Football Book 3 |
Breaking eye contact on the fifty-yard line would’ve been smart. Instead, I saw him—pom-poms, perfect smile, and the only boy I’ve ever loved.
Eli
Football is my future, and nothing can shake me.
Until Wren Lewis shows up on the Spirit Squad.
My high school boyfriend.
The one I lost because I stayed silent when he needed me most.
Now he’s back, flipping across my field, and I’ll do anything to prove I’ve changed.
I’ve spent four years wishing I could undo that day.
I’ll earn his trust back inch by inch.
Flowers, apologies, and maybe a kiss I’ve been starving for since our senior year of high school.
Wren
I swore I’d never forgive him.
One silence shattered us.
Then fate sticks us on the same sidelines, the same flights, the same hotel lobbies.
And he shows up with apologies I didn’t ask for…and a smile I never forgot.
But Eli is relentless—bigger, steadier, and still looking at me like I’m his whole world.
I want to resist. I need to.
But one slow dance, one stolen touch, and my walls start to crumble.
I crave the man who held me like I was everything.

My Review: 4/5 Stars
Eli’s focus on football is what he needs right now. This is the year he will be drafted, so he needs to make sure he isn’t distracted. But the biggest distraction hits him when he sees his ex on the sidelines. His first love and only love, the man he let he down years ago when he needed him most. Eli never thought he would see Wren again. To make up for hurting him. But now he has a chance to make things right. And not only that, maybe even give them a second chance. Because the truth is, it may have been years since their break up, but Eli never stopped loving Wren. And he will do whatever he can to prove that he isn’t the same guy he was in high school. Wren’s never forgiven Eli for not standing up for him. Their break up devastated him and he has done his best to forget Eli and hold on to his anger. But it all comes almost crashing down when he sees Eli again. But even more so when he realizes that Eli isn’t the same boy he was in high school. This version of him is more confident and out and proud. And maybe there were a few things Wren didn’t fully get back then about Eli. But completely forgiving and trusting Eli again with his heart? Well that’s gonna take some time. And he may just let Eli do it. This was a sweet second chance romance. It’s clear that Wren and Eli still love one another and now that they are older and wiser, they have a real chance of being something once more! It was sweet to watch them fall for one another all over again.
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
