First Down, Second Chances by Deb Goodman

MY REVIEW: This was a fun sports romance! It is part of The Love Playbook Series and it’s a great addition to it🥰 There are some moments that were so sweet and slightly awkward that I loved between Charlotte and Taysom🤭 little Miley was definitely a highlight of the book☺️
Chapter 13 had me laughing and reliving my own early teenage years😂 loved that! But it also broke my heart for little Charlotte💔
The self loathing from Charlotte did get a little tiring and old, but I can understand it.
Side note: reporting to the police department that you found a stray kitten just doesn’t quite seem logical. The police are not concerned with cats lol they have much bigger things pay attention too, no offense to kittens😂

OVERVIEW: Falling for my brother’s best friend was a terrible idea.
Falling for him again? Catastrophic.
Pro quarterback Taysom Reed was my first crush—and my first heartbreak. I learned the hard way that wanting things—wanting him—can be dangerous. So when he shows up out of nowhere at my workplace just minutes after I lose my job, the timing feels cruel.
With funding cuts, my career—and my young clients’ access to treatment—hang in the balance. Desperate, I ask Taysom for help. He can’t give it, though, and suddenly things are even more awkward between us.
Except, he keeps showing up in unexpected ways, and the feelings I swore were long gone come rushing back. I don’t trust his foundation, the university’s politics, or my own heart—especially after how badly things ended before.
Unfortunately, my rescue kitten, Miley, has already decided she loves him.
The little traitor.
Second chances are risky. But when Taysom starts proving he’s in this for real, I have to wonder…
What if some plays are worth running twice?
First Down, Second Chances is a closed-door sports romcom featuring a golden retriever hero, brother’s best friend tension, and second-chance chemistry that sizzles without the spice.
