This series has been on my TBR for a long time! When I saw they were available via the library on audio, I decided it was time! I love the tropes in this book! Fake dating, athlete in need of a tutor, a MMC who will do anything for his girl— this had it all. First Down follows Bex, amateur photographer who knows exactly where her life is heading no matter how badly she wants to go in a different direction, and James, senior transfer athlete (loved the LSU mention) hoping to make a name for himself. This was a super fun and quick read on audio and I really liked the dual narration. The spice and romance were great, and I thought it fit the characters well. First Down is an adult sports romance, 18+ for themes and sexual content.

This book got me out of my reading slump. a short sports romance is everything I ever needed so much so I need it to be longer.
Bex is genuanly the best FMC I have ever read and James is a perfect Boyfriend.
There are 2 reasons this isn't 5 stars.
1 - I can't stand Bex's Mom and Ex. I know that is the point but it wasn't written as well as it could have been done and I feel like both those charecters are brushed over
2 - They never offically switiched to real dating and for 3-5 chapeters I was genuanly confused before I figured it out
Anyways well written book with a well written Love interest and FMC. what not to love. Might I add it is also an american football romance
