🎀 Lily’s verdict: 🤎 It was good
This was such a fun grumpy x sunshine romance! There was some genuine loathing happening in that first half😂 which made watching their relationship slowly change that much more fun.
And precious little Anna🥹 She absolutely stole my heart!
I really enjoyed the character development in this one. Both MCs had a lot to work through, which gave the story so much depth, and I loved watching their relationship develop along the way. And the slow burn was SO good😍
Overall, this was such an enjoyable sports romance with a great mix of emotional moments, tension, and sweetness🤍
This is book two in the River Foxes Football Romance series, but the books can be read in order or as standalones✨

BLURB: Three months. Two enemies. Under one roof. Everything could go wrong. But what if they’ve stumbled into something right?
Lawrence Poe, tight end for the Green Bay River Foxes, is a type-A control freak who functions best when his house is clean, his spreadsheets are updated, and his protein shakes are precisely measured. Adding a four-year-old to his structured schedule isn’t going to be easy, but his sister needs him to watch his niece, and he always shows up for his family. Still, with training camp and other football commitments, Lawrence can’t watch Ana alone. Enter Beni Fitzgerald—his sister’s best friend and Ana’s Godmother—a woman who threatens every aspect of his controlled, orderly life.
An artistic free spirit, Beni Fitzgerald is a type-B dreamer who lives by the mantra all will be well. No, she wouldn’t choose to spend the summer living with a man who is her polar opposite, but she’ll do anything for her Goddaughter, even if that puts her directly in the path of Lawrence Poe. Beni has always yearned for a place to belong, and Lawrence made it clear it’s not with him after he gave her the best kiss of her life five years ago only to pull away and call it all a mistake.
But their forced proximity requires compromise, and as the duo grows in understanding and trust, both Lawrence and Beni realize this could be a summer of second chances.
