When Julian Knight chose to end his career, he had no idea what would come next. Football had been his way of staying close to his brothers. It had been a safe space where he wasn't treated like a person with an illness, but one bad hit, and everything changed. Now, he had to decide how to show those who loved him that he was able to exist without them doting over him every minute.
Yvonne Richardson had been focused on her career after failed attempts at dating and recently taking over the clinic she'd worked at. She decided to expand her medical practice, digging into sports medicine, which had interested her but she'd never pursued it. When she started looking into how to grow, an encounter with a former patient flipped everything on its head.
She needed someone with sports knowledge and contacts, and he needed a client to help build out a venture he was stepping into.
But Yvonne was hesitant because not only was he a former patient and significantly younger, there was an underlying attraction. Julian had found the doctor adorably annoying and hyper-independent, but that hadn't make his interest in her wane. As they worked together and learned more about one another, Julian wanted to give a long shot the chance it deserved. He was determined to make the difficult play a winning score.

Review of advance copy received from Author
Fourth & Long is the fourth book in the Endless Knights series featuring Julian (MMC) and Yvonne (FMC), they are navigating how to transform their prior relationship from doctor/patient to lovers.
While their meddling friends and family were all aboard for this to progress, there was some redefining of roles that had to happen first. Because of this I felt like we didn't get to spend as much quality time with our couple once they finally transitioned to lovers. There were some endearing moments and Julian was mr. Make It Happen when helping Vonnie elevate her business.
Julian is such a kind and endearing character but because of his illness can no longer play the sport he loves. I absolutely loved his journey while in therapy, on the ranch and finding his purpose again.
Thanks to the author Rae Shawn for the ARC. All thoughts are my own!
