[Cherie l brown · Rating 5 out of 5]

Offsides! Yes, Ivory was offsides. She was happily married to Tyler, who loved her dearly. They agreed before marriage that they didn’t want children. During the marriage, Ivory flipped the script on Tyler, and the marriage became difficult. He left at her insistence, but they were both miserable and she was resistant. Get rid of Ty, and marry someone that will give her a baby. Her mind was set and it was non-negotiable. An invite to a SuperBowl party shifted the dynamics. The attendance was uncomfortable and confrontational for the host and hostess as well as Ty and Ivory. After Ty think about his situation, he comes up with a plan to win back his wife. His play was successful and they both got what they wanted.

I enjoyed this cute short just in time for Super Bowl Sunday. 6 months could’ve been 6 weeks or 6 years if Tyler or ivory didn’t relent. They are both head strong and they both have so much love for the other!

Great short stories. Marriage is a great system, but one decision made before marriage can always change. Life is always a changing matter. We revolve and decision made before marriage can always change just by the fact life evolves.

[Angela Anderson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Offsides is a super cute superbowl party, short story.

Fun, upbeat and fast pace. A story with great food, banter, and a second chance at love.

I was team Tyler and Ivory and so there for their second chance and Happy Ever After!
