As always, Ava Sutton delivers a love story that is compulsive in every aspect with Silent Count! The understated prodigy who has endured suffering and still manages to walk with dignity, Chelsea Sullivan, is the match for golden-boy quarterback Bo Callaway, under each approach and every silent thought, what gets started as tutoring sessions progresses into something extremely electrifying, the Author Ava Sutton develops tension in a slow, controlled, yet utterly absorbing process, you immerse yourself in this book, heart first and every neuron of your brain next!
.
The alignment of flavour and heat, tenderness and fire, is what makes Silent Count so extraordinary!!! Bo is an uncommon hero who is calm, courteous, and yet totally ruined by the woman in front of him, he has the spirit of "he falls first and hard MMC" and it is heart-wrenching and magnificent to see him fall in love with Chelsea, although the spice is uncompromisingly delicious spicy, it never interferes with the emotional heart plot, piece by piece Ava Sutton delivers such an intelligent and heartshattering story that I devoured in one sitting, it really was an unputodownable spicy read that gets you right into the edges of your seat, and like a magnet won't let you put the book down for not even one second!
.
Chelsea's path reaches a different emotion, Ava Sutton gives her the kind of development that seems victorious and genuine, considering the fact that she has been silenced by pain and shaped by survival, her power is vibrant but invincible, and her growth is really inspiring, reading her unveil herself evokes an impression of suspense, will she allow herself to believe in painless love? And it's heartbreakingly gorgeous when she does!!! I cried and sobbed multiple times, every tender sentence and line she and Bo exchange is filled with healing and made my eyes watery every time, this book was packed with really strong emotions that only Ava could shatter your whole heart from these powerful lines!
.
SILENT COUNT is a fierce, honest, and utterly human sports novel, it is full of hope, heart, and a love that keeps on even when the lights go out! The Author Ava Sutton delivers once more her outstanding and clinically phenomenal style to seduce connection in its most pristine and magnetic form, this is a spectacular fourth book which I highly recommend to read, all the books were 10/10 reads, and I really can't wait to read new projects from Ava, she's one of the greatest romance Author of this Year!!!

Meet your new favorite book boyfriend: BO CALLAWAY! 🏈🔥
The Walker University Stallions are back, and their star quarterback, Bo, is THE definition of a cinnamon roll hero with a filthy mouth. I absolutely devoured his story with Chelsea! Bo is the hero who falls first and HARD. His words and actions are pure, golden and utterly swoonworthy. The patience and respect he shows Chelsea provides an emotional depth we don't see in enough MMCs.
Is it getting hot in here or is it just this book?🌶️🌶️🌶️ The chemistry between Bo and Chelsea is nothing short of sizzling hot. That spice is spicy! The library scene.... I mean have mercy! Beyond the heat though, I loved watching Chelsea find her sassy confidence and growth. This couple’s maturity had me rooting for them from the start, much deserving of their HEA.
With every book, this series just keeps getting better and better. While yes, you can read this as a standalone (it's the 4th book), I'd HIGHLY recommend starting from the beginning. Each one of these stories packs so much heart, swoon, and spice! Ava Sutton knows how to write the best book boyfriends!

The Walker University Stallions are back and Bo Callaway is ready to be your new favorite book boyfriend! Ava just knows how to write the most amazingly sweet and spicy cinnamon roll heroes with filthy mouths and Bo is no exception. I have been eagerly waiting for Bo and Chelsea's story and absolutely devoured it.
Bo is the star quarterback for the Stallions and has had a crush on Chelsea for a little while, so when circumstances force her to temporary move in with Bo and his roommates (thank you forced proximity) he decides to make his move. Chelsea had an incredibly traumatic childhood (check TW before reading) and trust easily and isn't really looking for a relationship/love, but the pull between her and Bo is just too strong to resist. The chemistry between Bo and Chelsea is absolutely sizzling, like melt your kindle, library spice (ifkyk), but the patience and respect that Bo showed Chelsea was so beautiful. This was definitely a case of 'he falls first and hard' and Bo's words and actions definitely back that up. I loved Chelsea's growth throughout the book and her sassy-ness and confidence was so amazing. I loved the maturity that both MCs displayed in this book and was just rooting for them from the beginning.
Honestly, if you haven't started this series yet, go to KU and download it right now! Every MMC that Ava writes is SO good! I'm so glad that I found this series thanks to bookstagram months ago.
What to expect:
Football Romance
Childhood Trauma

Silent Count is the fourth book in the Walker University Stallions series and can be read as a standalone. It is an opposites attract, found family, college football romance. One that has some pretty heavy topics discussed inside, so please consider that before jumping right into Bo and Chelsea's story.
This is my first read of Ava Sutton's and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed her writing style. I was instantly drawn into Bo and Chelsea's story, to the point that I finished their story in less than 24 hours. Chelsea had an extremely traumatic childhood and as a result struggles with her ability to trust when it comes to relationships. That is until she begins to tutor a certain cinnamon roll quaterback. Bo is geniune, kind and patient just the person who Chelsea needs in her life to help her realize she is not defined by her past.
If you are in the mood for a story that takes the FMC on a healing journey, Silent Count is definitely the one to read. I found Chelsea to be incredibly courageous and I enjoyed reading her character growth from the beginning of the story to the end. In my opinion, it has a cohesive coherent storyline, that has me looking forward to continuing the series.

Silent Count by Ava Sutton eARC Review 🏈
This is my first book by Ava and I can’t wait to read more by her now!
Bo Callaway is literal dream boat and Chelsea Sullivan is such a strong and beautiful FMC. The two of them are in the same friend group, but when Chelsea becomes Bo’s tutor they realize that they have a mutual attraction and even though they shouldn’t they starting seeing one another.
This book is a perfect representation of young love and finding your soul mate in college, building a future and working toward those plans together. Bo is so damn sweet and considerate and when he knows Chelsea’s past is a sore subject for her, he gives her the time she needs to open up to him.
Ava’s writing sucks you right in and I really enjoyed her style.

This was swoon central for me. I was kicking my feet giggling. Bo freaking Calloway gave me a permanent smile the entire time I was reading this book! I absolutely adored Chelsea!
I love this world Ava has created over at Walker University. She knows how to write a sweet & spicy man and Bo Calloway is the swooniest of all. I fell in love with him and was kicking my feet the entire time I was reading. Chelsea Sullivan is a sassy strong willed FMC that has trauma from her childhood (check your triggers). Their chemistry is off the charts and with the forced proximity of her being his tutor and moving in temporarily, Bo shoots his shot. He definitely falls first and hard and we love to see it!!!
The friend group in this series is top tier and one of my favorite things. If you haven’t started this series, this is your sign to take that leap.

Firstly—if you haven’t read Ava Sutton’s Walker University Stallions series yet, why not? Because trust me, you’re missing out on one of the most heart-pounding, emotionally charged college football romance series out there. The first three books have already set the bar sky-high with their perfect blend of swoon-worthy romance, emotional depth, and hard-earned happily ever afters—but Silent Count: A Forbidden Relationship Romance takes it all to another level.
From the very first page, Ava Sutton grips your heart and doesn’t let go. The prologue—where we get a glimpse into Chelsea’s childhood—is beautifully written and utterly heartbreaking. Have your tissues ready, because it’s that emotional thread that makes her journey at college all the more powerful.
Fast forward to the present, and Chelsea is now studying to become a lawyer while sharing a flat with a girl dating one of the Stallions’ football players. Enter Bo—the team’s talented quarterback. For a year, these two have circled each other, the chemistry simmering just beneath the surface. They’ve been friends, yes, but it’s only going to take one spark to turn that friendship into something explosive.
Bo is every bit the perfect hero—steady, patient, and quietly determined. Once he sets his sights on Chelsea, there’s no turning back. He senses her secrets and handles her heart with care, never pushing too far, yet refusing to let her retreat into her walls. Chelsea, on the other hand, tries to resist, but Bo keeps proving he’s exactly where she can find safety and love.
Of course, things don’t come easy. With Bo’s father pressuring him to focus solely on football and academics, and Chelsea unexpectedly assigned as his tutor, the stakes skyrocket. What follows is a heartfelt, emotional, and deeply romantic story about trust, vulnerability, and the courage to love.
The team dynamics, the friendships, and the glimpses of past couples all add an extra layer of perfection that makes Silent Count shine. Ava Sutton has once again delivered an unforgettable read—but this one? It hits deeper, feels stronger, and stays with you long after the final page.

#Review: *Silent Count* - Ava Sutton - ARC [18+]
4.5/5✨
3/5🌶️
I was super tempted by the cover of this book to read this one. So, of course that I signed up for an early copy and the author and Wordsmith Publicity were awesome enough to accept me for it. Thank you!
Bo was a football player who just had a bad period and failed a quizz. That's why he was forced by the circumstances to get a tutor to help him pass it. The coincidence made it for that person to be one girl who caught Bo's eye, but he didn't have the courage to make a move on her. This time, their close proximity let them know each other better and realized how much tension was between them. But our girl, Chelsea, had a traumatic past, one which made it hard for her to trust people and let them in her life more than she allowed then to. Can they make things work though?
Ok, so this book had so many different emotions incorporated, which I really liked. The beginning was heartbreaking and I felt so sorry for Chelsea and her little sister. They really didn't have the easiest childhood but they fought so hard to become their best in what they wanted to achieve. The connection to Bo was something which Chelsea was missing from her life and that might have been something that little something which could change her perception on her life and her own persona. Bo was such a sweetheart and also a super goofy guy. He was exactly what Chelsea needed and I loved how he fought for her even when things were tough. Of course, there were also some steamy scenes with these two which heated up the atmosphere and which had shown how strong their bound was and the level of confidence they had in each other.
This was such a nice read, loving that mix of angst, uncertainty, love, fun and good times. The past was hard and hurtful for Chelsea, but the present offered her so much more when she decided to give happiness a chance and surrounded herself with people who cared about her and understood and accepted her darkest secrets.

Since Chelsea entered the friend group a year ago she and Bo have been silently attracted to one another. But when Bo needs tutoring and is assigned to Chelsea, he can no long stay quiet about his feelings, just hoping she feels the same!
Chelsea had such a beautiful character arc and I loved her so much! Her growth, determination and strength were wonderful. She had so much hurt and trauma from her past to overcome-to let herself find happiness and Ava did a great job showcasing this.
Bo is top tier, he fell hard and fast and was beyond sweet, patient and supportive-but boy did he have a spicy side too. He may be reserved and fully focused on football and school, but when it came to Chelsea he never held back. Exactly what she needed!
Bo definitely leaves a big impression (in more ways than one).
The romance these two have is fantastic.This man is so gone, and it is the swooniest! I loved seeing Chelsea fall in love, you can’t help but root for her happiness. Their playful friendship, insane chemistry and deep connection is equal parts sweet and hot! I could not get enough of them. I flew through this book.
There is so much love between Bo and Chelsea and you can feel it with each chapter, but Chelsea still has her fears and although she opens up to Bo, she is still holding things back. My heart hurt for them both as navigated obstacles placed in their way.
I really enjoyed being back in this world! This is a wonderful friend group. Catching up with previous/side characters was so nice they all add to each story in such a wonderful way. I recommended this whole series and even though each book is a standalone, it’s best if read in order! I look forward to what is next from Ava!

Silent Count follows Chelsea and Bo, two souls who meet when life is pulling them in completely opposite directions. Chelsea carries a past full of pain, loss, and silence, while Bo is the confident quarterback everyone adores. When she becomes his tutor, their worlds start to blend in ways neither expected.
Bo is patient, gentle, and steady in all the ways Chelsea needs. He never pushes her to open up; he just stays, quietly proving that love doesn’t always have to be loud to be strong. Their connection grows through soft glances, late-night talks, and moments that feel heartbreakingly real. I adored how Bo saw beyond her walls, treating her not like someone broken, but like someone brave.
Ava Sutton did a beautiful job showing Chelsea’s growth from surviving her past to finally letting herself feel happiness again. The writing is emotional but hopeful, perfectly balancing pain and healing. And the romance… it’s slow, tender, and full of unspoken love that builds into something deep and lasting.
It’s one of those stories that make you pause and feel everything the hurt, the hope, and the peace that comes after. Such a soft yet powerful love story that stays with you long after finishing it.

No is the star QB and needs a tutor to remain eligible to stay on the team and play football.
Chelsey is a quiet shy nerd who tutors him and does not open up very easily about her past, which is full of pain and loss.
The force proximity tension buildup, the flirting stolen moments was perfection. Bo was so patient and didn’t push her to open up. He was absolutely perfect. Gentle even knowing it’s what she needed.
Their connection grows, I loved the soft glances and late night talks it made their connection feel real and I was kicking my feet giddy reading their love watching it grow it was tangible. Bo didn’t treat her like she was broken. Just steady, solid and supportive. He saw beyond the walls she put up and brick by brick tore the walls down slowly. Such a powerful love story that I can connect with, filled with emotion and depth!
When Bo’s dad steps in and things get messy, Chelsea finally opens up 💔
I 💯 recommend this story and the interconnected series! I absolutely adore these couples Ava Sutton has delivered another powerful sports romance full of depth and I love every moment of every story and character. Her writing is beautiful and flows effortlessly. ❤️🔥😍🏈 📚

✨ARC REVIEW✨ 4⭐️ This is definitely one of my favorite new sports romance series!! Bo is the star quarterback with dreams of going pro. His dreams are just within reach this year but his psych class may just stand in the way of him playing. Coach assigns him a tutor who just so happens to be the one girl he can’t get out of his mind…Chelsea Sullivan. Chelsea is paving her own path to law school. She wants to be a voice for those kids who aren’t as lucky as her to find family willing to take her in. Chelsea and Bo are in the same circle and end up in the same spot all the time. The lingering glances turn into outright stares and the hidden feelings aren’t so hidden anymore. Chelsea is hesitant to reveal her past to anyone. Meanwhile Bo is determined to get past her walls. Can they jump this hurdle or will too many things keep them from making it work?
This series is full of green flag guys and Bo is no exception. He is so good to Chelsea and I just love how honest and open he is about wanting her. They are so fun together! Chelsea’s childhood is holding her back but the way that Bo is slow and willing to go at her pace of opening up is just so heartwarming. Also the way he sticks up for her to his family…UGH I LOVE HIM. Chelsea’s aunt is so much fun and I adore the relationship they all have especially after everything her and her sister went through. I love all the characters from prior books and the found family vibes are just immaculate! You definitely need to add this series to your tbr!!
Tropes:
✨Football Romance
✨Opposites Attract
✨He Falls First
✨Found Family
✨Forced Proximity

- Silent Count
4.75stars ( but only because I love Casey & Noelle with my whole freaking CHEST!)
There’s no doubt in my mind I have become a fan girl that gushes over Ava Suttons sports romance books. Each read just sucks me in and I swear I’ve read Silent Count 5/6 times by now.
Bo and Chelsea are top tier characters. They feed off of each other and I think they feel the pull from the moment they met. When Bo needs tutoring to stay eligible to play football he’s just lucky the girl he’s been secretly crushing on is his tutor. He makes it his mission to no only get his grade up but to make Chelsea his… she has a haunted past that no one knows about. Can Bo “Columbus” Calloway convince her to let him all the way in??
Let me tell yall.. if anyone can do it- it’s Bo because he is setting the bar HIGGGHHHHHH!!!
I told Ava and I will shout it from the roof tops. This book hits on a hard subject most people are blind to.. minors who survive childhood trauma aren’t talked about enough. There are real emotions that you struggle with and this was one of the main reasons I loved the book so much. The topic was treated with care and understanding.
YOU GO GIRL. Thank you for letting me read and review!!! I’m so impressed by you!

Thank you Ava and Hambright for the ARC of Silent Count and Happy Release Day!
This is my first book by Ava and holy smokes, I’m going to be reading more! I love college sports romance and she nailed it!!
Bo Callaway is an absolute DREAM. I love him so much. He’s a golden retriever, college football QB who will do anything to get his and keep his girl. I love how had he fought for his relationship with Chelsea. He stands his ground to his dad and he sticks with his gut. Those Christmas pjs?? PERFECTION. 🤭🤭🤭 he’s an amazing leader on his football team as well. 👏🏼
Chelsea, sweet girl, had been through so much trauma and she’s afraid that she’ll turn into her parents if she tries to love too deeply. She’s such a strong FMC and I’m so glad she got her peace and her happy ending, she deserves all the happiness in the world!
Her and Bo are such a cute couple, this book had me giggling and kicking my feet. Their relationship grew and turned heated but sweet at the same time. 👏🏼👏🏼 if you love football romance, read this one, and then go back and read the rest with me! I cannot wait for Silas’ story! 😏😏

Bo and Chelsea's story was a sweet one! Bo is the quarterback on the Stallions, Walker University's football team and he is failing psychology. So what does his coah do? Hire him a tutor... who just so happens to be Chelsea Sullivan. The girl in his friend group that he has a crush on.
Chelsea has a tragic past and none of it is her fault. After she and her younger sister are taken in by her aunt Laura, she strives to make a better life for herself. She isn't looking for love or a relationship but then life drops Bo Callaway into her lap. And how could she resist the man that is Bo Callaway? Attractive, star quarterback and kind all wrapped in a pretty package. The chemistry between Bo and Chelsea is there from the start. The two flirt around with each other and it's cute. Until the spice hits and it's full force. Their story was beautifully written and I loved how Bo didn't care what a certain person thought and just showered Chelsea in love.
Thank you Ava and Wordsmith publicity for the ARC.

Silent Count is a he falls first, college sports romance that is absolutely fantastic! These characters will have you hooked and wanting more. Bo Callaway is my absolute favorite of this series! This story was filled with spice and just pure emotion. With such a raw story, Ava Sutton delivered and made such a captivating read. Chelsea is such a perfect heroine for this book. I absolutely adored her character. This book was so exciting. Most of the time I was giggling and kicking my feet. It was just so good in my opinion. This group of characters is one of my favorites.
I have loved this series before book one was even released. That love has just continued with each new book. I am definitely a fan of Ava Sutton. I can’t wait to see what’s next. I definitely recommend this book and this author for all to read!

completely wrecked me in the best, swooniest way possible. Bo Callaway just shot straight to the top of my favorite book boyfriends list — the man is the definition of a cinnamon roll hero with a filthy mouth and the softest heart. I ate this book up like I was starving for it.
The forced proximity? Perfection. The slow burn? Torture in the best way. The chemistry between Bo and Chelsea was so intense I swear my Kindle was smoking. But what really got me was Bo’s patience — the way he handled Chelsea’s trauma, his gentle persistence, his protectiveness without being overbearing… it was absolutely beautiful. You could feel how deeply he loved her in every word and action.
And Chelsea—ugh, I adored her. She’s strong, funny, and brave, even after everything she’s been through. Watching her open up and find her confidence again was just everything. These two together were magic.

I love Bo and Chelsea! Silent Count has romantic gestures, a man who knows what he wants, tutoring, spice, found family, football, childhood trauma, and balancing dreams with love. This book had some strong content around childhood trauma and it was approached with sensitivity throughout the book.
Chelsea wants to fight for kids and become a lawyer but never thought love was for her. Reading about her opening up about her struggles with love had me tearing up. It was well written and sensitive to the topic. Chelsea is so brave and powerful.
Bo is QB 1 with dreams of the NFL but also falls head over heels for Chelsea fast. He always tells her how he feels and does not hold back. I loved seeing him be a hopeless romantic and so confident in all parts of his life without being super cocky or pushy.
I love this story and the entire series. I highly recommend!

such a fast read
while i love bo, i mean the man is a walking green flag.
the way he was so reassuring and made his feeling clear, what he wanted out of the relationship and their future.
chelsea has such a rough upbringing having to go through so many things. gosh my heart. i’m glad we got to see her past first hard and then throughout the story we get more bits.
their friend group was nice, and the moments we saw with them were nice.
now the one issue was just how face passed this book was,
it was very insta love. i wish their relationship had more, i wanted those sweet moments. i wanted some
more buildup.
while i loved their romance and their connection i just wished there was buildup and that it didn’t feel so rushed. i feel like certain aspects could’ve been flushed out more.

4.25 🌟
I don’t really know what I was expecting from this book but it definitely surpassed my expectations! I think as expecting a little fluffy college romance but it truly had heart and real characters with real issues.
This is the fourth in the Walker University Stallions Series, which are interconnected stand-alones but I don’t feel like I missed any pivotal plot points by hopping in with this one. Her writing was easily bingeable and whenever I picked it up it was hard for me to put it down. I read this in two sittings. So I will definitely going back and reading the rest of the series!
I really loved the easy going chemistry of Chelsea and Bo. It was very low drama and sweet and they had plenty of heat (oh the library! IYKYK) We need stories like this, so many times all we see depicted in books is toxicity and this was in my opinion a healthy gradual morph into a relationship.
I loved seeing Chelsea’s growth and rising above through adversity and all around this was a really enjoyable story and I highly recommend if you’re looking for a football romance 🏈
Thank you so much to HambrightPR for the ARC!

Thank you so much to Hambright PR and Ava Sutton for the ARC in exchange for my honest review!
This was my first book by Ava and I absolutely adore her style of writing. The way this romance made me feel giddy is something I will forever remember! This story perfectly captures what it’s like to fall in love with the right person. Bo is such a sweetheart and the way that he never pressures Chelsea to share things about her past trauma before she is ready is so refreshing. The flirting between these two is another level, it truly represents having a thing for someone in your friend group but not knowing if they will reciprocate. This right here is how you do interconnected standalone books!!! Enough background and intrigue to understand and want to learn more about the side characters but not confusing or feeling like you missed something!

Silent Count was a heartbreakingly beautiful story of healing and moving forward to all the possibilities. Bo is locked in on football and needs no distractions, until he needs a tutor and who else should not be, but Chelsea. Chelsea has been through a lot of trauma and in her own way still healing and trying to move forward. Then she becomes Bo tutor. These two have known each other and have their secret crushes, but never did anything. Now they are around each other more and starting to see what’s been there all along. The more time they spend together the more they both help each other open their minds and see what’s they could have if they take a chance. I loved these two and the emotional journey that they take us on. Bo and Chelsea will steal your heart.

“I want to give her peace. The kind of silence where you don’t have to fill the space—you just belong in it.”
I have been waiting for Bo Calloway’s story since book 1, and Ava delivered exactly what I wanted. She left me perfectly satisfied. I smiled the whole time while reading this.
Bo and Chelsea are apart of the same friend group. They have secretly been attracted to each other. Chelsea ends up becoming Bo’s tutor. Bo saw this as his opening to get to know Chelsea without any interruptions. They immediately match up perfectly, even though they come from two totally different worlds.
Silent Count is the epitome of young love. Ava wrote the building of this relationship perfectly. I loved everything about it. From the late-night get-to-know-you chats to bringing her coffee order, we’re all so sweet. It just reminds you of the time you found young love. Bo knew Chelsea’s past was a sore subject, and he just sat back and gave her the space and time to open up. Bo exceeded my expectations and loved everything about their story.
Tropes: football, college, tutor, he falls first, found family, broken girl x golden boy, slow burn.

Bo Calloway 😍 First off the FMC in this book has the same name as me which is so freaking cool.
She’s smart and sassy and her bad Bo had the best chemistry.
Their friend group is just the best. I love them. Bo comes from money which comes with overbearing families that think they can make life decisions for you…
Bo was having none of that. He knew he wanted Chelsea, he knew she was a great person and he stood firm in that.
They started as friends and slowly turned into this super hot and steamy relationship. There is a public sexy time scene that is SO HOTTTT.
LOVED THIS BOOK. Thanks for the ARC Ava & HambrightPR!

ARC Review 🏈
If Ava Sutton writes it, you know I’m reading it! Bo and Chelsea’s story was absolutely adorable. Bo is such a sweetheart!! He’s kind, patient, and so gentle with Chelsea’s heart. I loved how he never pushed her too hard and gave her the space she needed to open up about her past.
My favorite part was Their trip to the dog farm for Bo’s birthday. Seriously it was the sweetest thing ever! 🐶 This book completely melted my heart. If you love a story where the sweet, loyal guy falls hard for the girl, you need to read Silent Count.

Adds the previous books to my TBR and orders physical copy!
I will never not read a good sports romance. This book was quick and while I wanted to scream at the MMCs dad I’m glad it ended better and Bo didn’t listen to him one bit.
Spice Level: 🌶️🌶️
Football player x tutor
College Romance
He falls hard
TW: alcohol abuse, domestic violence, death of family member.

Ava delivered on this one! Chelsea so deserved someone like Bo and I loved that he was so patient with her. Giving her the time to open up on her own.
Chelsea and Bo together are amazing. When she gets assigned his tutor, it is the beginning of a great friendship. The banter was fun and over time it shifted to flirty. The chemistry really starts to sizzle between them and Bo, while he is a sweet cinnamon roll of a MMC, this man is a dirty talker!
