High school teacher Jade has worked as assistant coach for the school football team for many years. When her mentor, the longtime head coach, announces his retirement and his intention to name a successor, Jade’s dream to lead the team is tantalizingly within reach. She feels beyond ready to take the role but soon learns she has competition. Francesca, the newish art teacher, eager to put down roots, has coaching experience and sets her own sights on the head coach position. Now it’s a no-holds-barred battle as the two rivals aggressively face off with increasing fervor that slowly builds up to an electric passion and deep connection.
VERDICT Told from dual perspectives and set in the same delightful small town (Greenbelt, SC) as Slaughter’s previous books Bet on It and Play To Win, this ridiculously romantic and utterly sexy enemies-to-lovers novel features the compelling, cutthroat world of high school football. Will appeal to fans of sports romances that center multicultural and LGBTQIA+ characters.
