Fulton U Rivals #1
Kiss and Tell
"Wouldn't most guys love a no strings attached hook up?"
"Maybe, but most guys don't deserve you. I want to be one who does. And I want to be all tangled up in your strings."
Newly arrived on campus, I knew two things. 1) No one could know my dad was the president of the university and 2) football players were bad news.
My run in, the literal kind with my neighbor cranked up the heat and sparks flew.
A new college campus. A secret bound to explode in my face. And a football player neighbor who is bad news in the best of ways.
Reid Riddick was hotness personified, so of course I literally ran into with him--well, more like he plowed into me.
I didn’t know he was a football player when I started falling and now I can’t stop. A stolen kiss later and my heart races whenever he looks at me from across the quad.
But my secret would spell disaster for him.
I’m the daughter of the college president. The college president who’s been feuding with his football coach for years. Their bitter campus war leaves us teetering on the edges of a divide we can’t see a way across.
Resisting him is more than I can handle. He’s risking it all for me. His team standing. His football season. His pro future.
Throw in a campus gossip site. My out of control new friends. His way too hot roommates. College traditions. A secret campus bar and the only guy who’s ever made me feel like he can’t live without me. And I have one last secret.
Our star-crossed love is my first and I want him to be mine.

Kiss and Tell launches the brand new Fulton U spin-off, and I am so here for it. Generally, I'm the sort of reader that likes her New Adult romance with plenty of drama, and manwhore/alphahole/badboy. What? As Christina Grey once said, my tastes are very...singular.
So imagine my pleasant surprise when I ended up falling for the cinnamon role that was Reid. How deliciously unexpected.
Reid has lived, breathed, and bled football since he was 14. All he wants is to hit the pros. But it has nothing to do with fame and women. The more you get to learn about him and his father, the more you fall for him. He trains hard and doesn't let any distractions, like women deter him. Besides, his coach is dang near certifiable and kicked off one of his teammates for not breaking up with his girlfriend. Simply because the girlfriend was the daughter of someone who the coach didn't like. So yeah, suffice it to say it's enough to put some fear into you. So what happens when you fall for the girl of the university president and a man his coach hates with a passion? Well, definitely some complications.
Leona is a recent transfer. After some recent life events, she made the decision to leave her mom's home in Australia to come be with her dad. She's also not entirely keen on anyone knowing who her dad is because she doesn't want any attention. She wants to be treated like everyone else, and so she moves in on campus.
Leona and Reid have an adorable meet cute when they bump into each other and her legos spill out of her moving box. There's immediate sparks, but they're both insecure for various reasons. Leona, because she's not used to being the girl being noticed. And Reid, well because he's told himself he can't be distracted by a relationship.
This was definitely a slow burn, with plenty of character development. There's a heavy undercurrent of chemistry that makes it almost painful until that first kiss. I loved how sweet Reid was with Leona. He's not a player and he doesn't play any mind games. When he makes a decision, that's it. And he doesn't bother trying to deny his feelings, which was incredibly refreshing. Leona was incredibly relatable and I absolutely loved her friendship with her roommates.
The new characters that are introduced, particularly Kennedy and Cole, immediately hooked me too. I loved getting to know this new gang of friends. Can't wait for the next book!

Find me on:
My feelings weren’t unrequited, they weren’t being driven deep down because he had his eyes set on my best friend or a spot at the vineyard or me being his new tutor to pass biology or chemistry. Working beside him was like a beautifully wrapped present that had been shoved in my Christmas stocking, but I didn’t get to open it.

Kiss and Tell was a cute college sports romance with just the right amount of angst due to it being a forbidden romance. I liked both Reid and Leona, even though Reid frustrated me towards the end. I do feel like for as long as it was, there were several things with parents that felt unresolved, but overall I liked it.

Kiss and Tell introduces brand new characters from Maya Hughes and brings us to the world of STFU. I adored Reid and Leona, as well as the many side characters that were featured throughout the story. The book did a great job at immersing me into the world of college sports and romance and had me obsessed with finding out just how the story was going to end.
Even when things were complicated for Reid and Leona there was still this easy feeling to their relationship which worked so well for them. It really made it seem like they were perfect for one another and could get through any hard time the author threw at them.
Bottom line, I can already tell this is going to be another amazing series from Maya Hughes and I'm ridiculously excited to get more from the other characters.

after skimming and skipping so much I thanked the lord when I reached the end, it felt like it took forever though

We're off to a great start with this new series from Maya Hughes, St. Francis U runs parallel to Fulton U so we see how things play out for their archrival...and boy do these boys have a lot going on. I will say that this story will pull at your heartstrings so be prepared.
Leona is a new transfer to STFU, where her father is the President of the University, and on move in day she runs into Reid...quite literally I might add causing a box of LEGOs to fall all over the place, now isn't that an adorable meet cute, there is an instant connection but as one might guess things hinder their getting together.
Reid is on the STFU football team and his main priority is playing and going pro, I'll let you find out his reasons for wanting to go pro so bad, and his coach requires NO DISTRACTIONS and he means it.
This is a slow burn, star-crossed, college romance that will have you falling in love with not only Reid and Leona but all of their friends as well. I am sooo looking forward to Cole and Kennedy's book which is up next.
I would recommend this book to anyone that enjoys steamy New Adult Romances.
Happy Reading!!!

If you liked the sports guy focused on reaching the big leagues but who sees his life taken by a whirlwind when the girl of his dreams enters the scene trope as in −
The Perfect First
−, and the forbidden aspect like in
The Fourth Time Charm
, then I think you will like this new installment of Maya Hughues introducing us to a new group of friends going through all the ups and downs of college!
Tropes: secret and forbidden romance, sports romance.
Leona has just transferred to St. Francis U from Australia leaving her mother and the big lie that took her away from her father behind, but the lies and secrets don't seem to leave her since she's the daughter of the president of the university −a fact that she prefers to keep to herself−, especially after meeting Reid, a football player with a promising future, but also a vengeful coach who hates Leona's father.
This was another classic MH book; entertaining, sweet (but steamy), with a pinch of angst and and great declarations of love to make up for that. This is just the first installment, but we've already been introduced to a lot of characters; 5 guys and some female characters that I pretty much hope are more than side characters in this new sports universe! we have the easy guy who gets at his worst when a certain someone appear, the quiet and mysterious one with a "friend" that no one knows, and the comic relief that I bet we'll get to know better in the next books, so I can't wait to see what else this new series has in store for us!
“She was a complication I'd have never thought I'd get tangled up in, but now I couldn't walk away.”

Kiss and Tell is the perfect young adult star-crossed lovers story.
Reid Riddick is a star football player at STFU who’s dream is to go pro, and to do so he must stay on his coach’s less nasty side, which requires total dedication to football and 0 distractions. Especially with anyone related to the college’s president who has a long standing feud with the coach.
Leona Larson-Oakes has just transferred to STFU from Australia and has a secret she wants to keep for as long as possible. She’s the president’s daughter and doesn’t want to be treated or used because of it.
When Reid and Leona bump into each other in a sea of LEGO sparks fly and despite all the obstacles between them, the two can’t resist the attraction. They tried to fight it, but they were perfectly adorable together. They were both very supportive of one another and just overall sweet, giving me a Romeo and Juliet swoony yet forbidden love story.
I felt so much for them while they attempted to keep their blossoming relationship a secret to protect one another, and I loved how their friends helped and were incredibly loyal. These are a group of characters that I can’t wait to read more of.
Kiss and Tell is book #1 of the St. Francis U series by Maya Hughes. It’s a new adult romance told from both points of view with a happy ending. Tropes: sports romance | college | football | forbidden | virgin heroine

“I don't know if I'll ever stop falling for you.”
Kiss and Tell is the first book in Maya Hughes's new series St. Francis U and follows Leona and Reid. Leona has just transferred to STFU, and Reid is one of the star football players there. He lives, breathes, and eats football and doesn't let any distractions ruin his dream of going pro. But after meeting his new neighbor, Leona, Reid can't stop thinking about her. Leona's father is the college president, and he happens to hate the football team and its coach… So lots of distractions for Leona and Reid!
I was really looking forward to meeting the STFU gang, and Kiss and Tell was the perfect introduction to this new world and these new characters. Leona and Reid were honestly so cute together. Their mutual attraction was palpable from their first meeting, and even though they are different from one another, they fit perfectly together! They tried to keep their relationship a secret to protect each other, but they couldn't help but look at, touch or kiss each other whenever they were with each other in public. Those moments were probably my favorite because you could see how their feelings for each other were developing! As individuals, Leona and Reid were also wonderful characters. They were both very interesting and attaching and didn't hesitate to stand up for what they wanted and believed.
What I love about Maya Hughes' books is the group of friends she always creates, and the STFU one is as amazing as the others! I can't wait to learn more about them and discover the future couples. Ezra is the one that caught my attention the most, and Cole and Kennedy seem to be a chaotic duo too!
Overall, Kiss and Tell was a great first glance at Maya Hughes' new series. Leona and Reid's story was sweet and romantic with the perfect amount of angst. I can't wait to see what's next and learn more about the STFU gang because I'm already fully attached to them!

Maya Hughes' new sports romance series is here and I couldn't be happier about it!
Kiss and Tell is the first installment in Maya Hughes' new series St. Francis U and it follows the story of Leona and Reid. Leona is a new student at St. Francis U where her father is the president of the university, and Reid is one of the most popular football players on campus whose only goal and dream is to go pro. That is until he meets his campus neighbor and can’t stop thinking about her. The only problem being that Reid’s football coach hates Leona’s father and forbids him to date her. Does that stop them? Obviously not, and we love that.
Leona and Reid were very cute together and that from the moment they met and I really adored how they served friends-to-lovers and forbidden tropes. One of my favorite thing about Maya Hughes' books are the group of friends and I think she once again did it very well in this new series. I loved being introduced to this new group of characters and I can't wait to learn more about them in the next books. Especially Cole and Kennedy after that ending, as well as Ezra who was my favorite!

I want to start off by saying i’ve enjoyed maya hugh’s books before but this one…YAWN (not trying to be a b*tch…it just happens sometimes).
ugh i started reading the second one first before this one and got 10% through and then realised this one was the first book!
So…I found it really hard to not skip this because I was so intrigued in book 2!
This was okay, i got bored through the middle of it and found it soo hard not to dnf! but i did really enjoy both of the main characters, they were sweet.
For some reason the first couple in a series where each book is a different love story…they’re always just meh in comparison to the rest!
There was no angst…just cuteness and love like who do you think i am?! ehhh LIKE HE WAS A SIMP FROM THE START!!
This shit was underwhelming and boring💀 and that ending i literally said “ew” aloud to myself🤠
2.5⭐️

This was my first read of 2022 and I enjoyed it! I had missed college sports romances and this hit the spot.
Maya Hughes is great at writing characters, and Reid and Leona were no exception. I really enjoyed their back stories with their families, and could really feel Leona’s emotions at times. I would’ve liked to know what happened with Leona and her mom at the end though.
The friendship group she created in this series so far is just as great as Fulton U and Rittenhouse. I loved the set up of traditions and getting to see them all hanging out. I can’t wait to read each of the guys stories!
There were moments that the plot slowed a bit for me, and I can’t say I really enjoyed the events of the climax, but it was still a good, cute story!
Also pls tell me book 2 will possibly be enemies to lovers, fake dating?! 👀
No OW/OM
Virgin h, hero doesn’t seem to be a man whore

There’s something really wrong with a romance novel if you don’t want the main characters to end up together.
Reid was kind of an asshole (and not the kind of asshole I like). And Leona was judgmental and overreacted a bit to her family drama (my parents are also divorced, that’s why I’m saying it).

“𝘐’𝘷𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘪𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘐’𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘺𝘰𝘶, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮.”
It all starts with your heroine, Leona Oakes when she got transfer for St. Francis University, where her father is the President, from Australia. Where she previously lived with her mom and stepdad (did i already say i hate her mom? well, I hate Leona’s mom). On her first day at te new college, she meet her new neighbor, Reid Riddick, a famous football college player who lives and breaths football, who doest let anything take his head from the game. After their first interaction, they just ‘click’ and Reid cant stop thinking about Leona. But the worst thing for them in that moment happened, Reid’s coach (look another character that i cant stand) hates Leona’s father (look look i character that i REALLY like) the STFU President, and Leona’s father hates Reid’s coach, so ours main characters start a new secret romance. About everything happening, they try hard (ok not SO hard) to keep their relationship in secret but they cant help each other to be always together, always touching each other and looking just like they are is love (Personally, these are in favorites scenes, they trying everything to not just give up of their “plan” but also don't give a sh*t and also is in these scenes that you can ser the feeling growing and they creating a real connection)
The true is that i wasn't expecting so much from STFU serie because I read do many books about football/college already but Maya always surprised me. She is one of my favorites writers and I cant get enough of her. I just love maya’s writing and she is SO good about making the readers the completely obsessed and make us not be able to do anything else until we finishes the book. Reid and Leona had such a cute, romance and beautiful story, they are amazing together and they seem so different but so similar in some points that make them a incredible duo that you know that they fit because they have a lot in common but also have their special personal things. ALSO, Maya ALWAYS give greats sides characters for further books so I cant wait to read the others books from St Francis serie, their dynamic makes me remembers about Fulton U and Kings family (I MISS THEM SO MUCH PLEASE MAYA BRING THEM BACK IN A NOVELLA I AM BEGGING YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!) so now I pretty excited to the future. :))

ALSO, Maya ALWAYS give greats sides characters for further books so I cant wait to read the others books from St Francis serie, their dynamic makes me remembers about Fulton U and Kings family (I MISS THEM SO MUCH PLEASE MAYA BRING THEM BACK IN A NOVELLA I AM BEGGING YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!) so now I pretty excited to the future. :))

FIVE KISS&TELL STARS for Leona and Reid 💙🖤💙🖤!!!
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Ah, what can I say except that Maya reawakened my desire to read a college sports romance and reminded me why I fell in love with this genre at the beginning of my reading career.
It’s been a long time since I read the last book in the “Fulton U” series and I wasn’t hoping the author would return to that genre again, but luckily for me, she is.
It’s good that authors are tempted to write other genres, but Maya is one of my top authors for writing the aforementioned genre and I hope to delight her readers (including me) with numerous books related to the college sports romance genre.
“Kiss and Tell” is a college sports romance that will capture your heart from the start and will make you want to enjoy the story even after it is over.
Leona is a female character whose parents divorced and then decided to live with her mother in Australia.
But everything changes when she goes to live with her father, who is also the college president at the college she transferred to.
After that, her only problem becomes how to keep the secret about her father, so that everyone can treat her like an ordinary student.
Reid is a male character who lives for football and is willing to invest every drop of sweat just to become a pro one day.
He doesn't let anything distract him from his goal, but that changes when he meets Leona, who turns the whole world upside down and realizes that he can't stay away from her.
Not even when she finds out who her father actually is.
Leona and Reid's relationship is everything that you're looking for from two young people in love.
Despite all the obstacles they'll encounter, their true love will eventually win.
I've enjoyed every page of this book and look forward to reading the next books in this series!
If you're looking for a college sports romance and you also loved “Fulton U”, then this is the book for you!!!
Highly recommended!!!

Kiss and Tell is the first book in Maya Hughes' new series called St. Francis U.
It follows the story of Reid, who had tiny cameos in the Falling series, and Leona. Leona is back in America after having moved to Australia with her mom after a messy divorce.
I loved Leona since the beginning idk but she has something that is just gold, she is a sweetheart,,, reid on the other hand, well I liked him in some parts but not always, his best friends were gold and the same with taylor, kennedy, ashley, alongside leona they were four queens and cant wait to get to know the first three more and their friendship
Just like in all her books, she made me attracted to the secondary characters, can't wait for the second book
Excited for the next book, cant wait!!!!

I really liked the start of this new series.
I not only loved Leona and Reid and their soft moments but also the whole group of friends dynamic that Maya brings us in this new world.
Really can't wait to dig more into the other characters' stories, so I'm really excited for the next books.
I enjoyed the chaotic moments as much as the soft ones, did a few giggles here and there, and grew attached so easily to these new people.
Reid is a football player that lives and breaths to try to hit the pros so that one day he can make it up for his dad. Leona is a LEGO passioned girl that just arrived at the campus and really wants to hide who her father is and also stay away from football players. Things get a bit complicated between all the campus pranks, traditions and I can't fail to mention the gossip site (only missing the "xoxo, gossip girl" at the end).
Overall, an enjoyable story with and a great start and introduction to a new series. Thought about giving it five stars but I remember thinking the beginning was a little slow, and also there were moments when that football coach really pissed me off. But other than that, can't wait to see what comes next!

4.5 Kiss and Tell Stars💋🌟
The first book in a new series by Maya and I have to say after reading Fulton U I was worried this one wouldn’t entice me as much as FU did, but I can happily say it did😁
Reid is a football player and he is focused on the future and going pro and no distractions or anything else will stand in his way😳 That is until he bumps into the new transfer student, Leona and helps her pick up the box she dropped when he bumped into her😉
A very different dynamic to the FU bunch but the college antics are the same as well as the camaraderie between the players which really made me enjoy this all the more😂 I received an advanced copy and willingly leave my honest review❤️

Kiss and Tell is the first novel of Maya Hughes' St Francis U series, which follows 5 football playing best mates as they navigate college, football and romance, with each novel focusing on a different guy and his girl.
This novel follows Reid and Leona, and while the premise of their story seemed promising, I unfortunately was left feeling underwhelmed.
As it was teased as a forbidden romance, I was hoping there would be a well-developed romantic plot containing angst, yearning and those lingering moments between the two main leads. Instead Reid and Leona's relationship was that of instant-love, making for a rushed pace and a lack of chemistry translating onto the page.
There were, however, a couple of scenes amongst the group of friends which were refreshing and added a found family aspect to set up the rest of the series nicely, although I would have liked more of these moments.
Overall, I think this is a shaky start to the St Francis U series, nonetheless I do have hope that the rest of the series will be better.

A new series with some of the St. Francis University football team members. Reid and Leona have a cute bump meet in their first days of the new semester. Reid super focused on football and the uber super tough coach, so a relationship is so out of the question but there is just something about Leona that makes sense.
College traditions, college life, shenanigans, dating, heartbreak, friendships are all in this book. Looking forward to more of these guys and their happy ever after.

MAYA HUGHES I LOVE YOU!!!! This book was an excellent start for the St. Francis U series!
It all started with Leona Oakes, daughter of the President of St. Francis University. She is a transfer from Australia, where she previously resided with her mom and stepdad. On her first day, she meets Reid Riddick, one of the players of the university's football team. Their connection is almost instantly, even if Reid denies it for a little while. They soon start to fall for each other, even if the stakes for a possible relationship between them are high. Reid's mean coach hates the guts of President Oakes, who doesn't like the coach either. What unravels next is a delicious secret romance between Leona and Reid!
I wasn't with such high expectations for this book, but it totally surprised me. I had such a good time while reading Reid and Leona's story! And now I CAN'T WAIT TO THE NEXT BOOKS OF THE SERIES!!!!
Leona was an incredible, sweet girl! But on the other side, it took Reid a while to fall on my good side. I also loved Leona's dad, he was the best person ever. As for Leona's mom and the coach... I really hated them both.
The story itself had a good pacing and it wasn't hard to fall not only for the main couple but for the side characters. Cole, Griff, Ezra, Hollis, Taylor and Ashley were amazing people and I very much want to see them again in the next books. Their dynamics remembered me of Fulton U, a series much loved by yours truly, so you can see why I'm so excited for the rest of the series. Oh, to win a found family trope in a good series :)
The only thing I didn't like was the end 'cause I think it left some loose ends (?) like Leona's relationship with her mother. Also, Reid's reaction to the climax could... yeah he could have handled that better.
Overall, I think this was an incredible way to start 2022. The book was really enjoyable. If you, like me, love found family trope, then I think you should give this book a try!

It feels so good to read another college romance from MH! She always, and I do mean always, rocks them. No exception.
Kiss and Tell was no different. These two pulled me into their orbit and didn’t want to let go. As always I devoured this book and enjoyed it sooo much. I’m already dying for more of this series, super excited for a lot of the next stories!
As Maya always manages, I fell in love with this group of friends, even though some of them made me question their morals in the beginning of the book with the ‘football over every single thing’ BS.
This story had a lot of emotional moments and plotlines that made me tear up and had my heart aching. I hate their freaking coach so much. I bet he’s gonna be a thorn on everyone’s side forever. I really wanted to see him get the boot! Ugh.
Kiss and Tell has it all: spice, a great love story, angst, an amazing group of friends. It’s a great book and new series kicker. I can’t wait to get more of this world!

Review: Kiss and Tell is book 1 in Maya's New series Saint Francis University. I am so excited for another Sports Romance series from her. I loved the Fulton University series. There will be 5 books on a group of friends/teammates all RELEASING THIS YEAR! This was such a good start to this new series. I cannot wait!
.
Reid and Leona are such a sweet couple. Leona is the lego loving quirky girl with a secret and Reid is a star football player at STFU whose dream is to go pro. I love the virgin trope, especially when the hero wants to make it special. Maya really delivered on this one. I loved the world she created and all the traditions at college. I lived at home for college and had been dating my now hubby for almost 2 years so I didn't do all the fun crazy college stuff.😝 It was fun to live vicariously through Reid and Leona. This one is a bit forbidden and full of emotion. I laughed, I cried and I swooned. I loved Reid, especially when he finally got his head on straight. His redemption was chefs kiss. I am so excited for the rest of the boys. I am always drawn to the funny heros and Cole is next!😍 We got lots of glimpses of him and his leading lady in this book so I know it's going to be good!

College Sports romance from Maya Hughes means lots of witty, emotional and sexy vibes. Kiss and Tell was no exception. Leona and Reid would take you to a funny, swoony and feelings filled ride. The friendship and the sports played an important role here too and I love that.
Kiss and Tell by Maya Hughes is the first book in St. Francis U series and will follow a group of football players. First up is Reid and Leona. Reid is super focused on his football career and he doesn't want any distraction. Then Leona, daughter of their college president moves into his neighbourhood. And she is off limits. But their chemistry is not going away.
.
I love how Maya Hughes brings this whole college romance atmosphere alive so beautifully. You are not only reading about the couple but also their friends, their college experience, their challenges and their dreams. Reid and Leona are so cute together. It was a tough job to keep their relationship secret as a lot was on gamble. I obviously hate Reid's grumpy rude and obnoxious coach who is incarnation of devil himself. But Reid and Lorna have a true connection and that showed perfectly. It was fun and laughter at one point and deeply emotional in next one. It was exciting and with a forbidden thrill and you will want to know what is going to happen next. I am really excited to know what happens in next books!

I've been really excited for this series and this author didn't disappoint.
"The way her lips pursed made me want to smooth them out with a kiss. That hit me like a sideswipe to my brain. I'd known her for all of six minutes."
When Leona Oakes and Reid Riddick first meet, it's attraction at first sight. Just as their flirtations ramp up, the truth of who the other is puts a dampener on the connection growing between them. They know that a relationship is pretty much impossible, yet the magnetic pull between them is compelling and undeniable.
"I'd never felt this way about anyone before her and I didn't want to find out if I could feel this way about anyone after her. I only wanted her."
I was fully invested in Leona and Reid's relationship. Their chemistry and connection was electric and thrilling. I adored Reid's vulnerability. For someone who could have had anyone he wanted, he was sweetly unsure of himself around Leona. I also loved Leona's innocence. She was adorably awkward around Reid until they found their footing with one another. This was a fab start to a new series. Reid's football buddies/housemates were awesome! They were funny and loyal. I can't wait for the rest of this series.

Great start to this new college sports series! Go Dawgs! It seems a little strange to now be rooting for the Fulton U rivals but I’m there for it. A new group of hottie football players and the gals they fall for. First up is Reid. He’s football all the time to make his NFL dream come true. No relationship to split his focus. Until the new girl on campus catches his eye. Leona is a Aussie transplant with roots at the college by way of her President dad. There’s a lot of baggage between the two that works it’s way out during the story. Most of the drama surrounds the horrible football coach and the impact of Reid’s budding relationship with Leona. The camaraderie between the guys is terrific as they play and live together. Of course, there’s one bad apple in the mix. This is an easy read with wonderful characters in a college setting that’s ruled by football and its players. The romance is sweet and sexy as Reid and Leona fight through their issues. Such a fabulous couple! I look forward to the next story in the series. Loved it!

Ahhh this was such a freaking cute romance!
I’ve loved Maya’s writing for the longest time and one of my favourite series is the Fulton U series, so getting a spin off made me so happy.
Reid and Fiona were simply electric from the start. I adored both their characters. Throughout the story we see both MC’s insecurities shine within their relationship, however they both learn to over come then which I LOVED.
I can’t freaking wait to read more of this series!
