Get away from all the pressure and expectations that fall upon her thanks to her older, more successful siblings. And James Braxton is just the guy to help her with that.

46 parts Complete Mature
Lola "Lolo" James has grown up on the sidelines, watching her father coach one of the most elite NFL teams in the country. Her dad's number one rule has always been ironclad: no dating the players. Ever. It's a line Lolo has never been tempted to cross-until now. When Brooks Parker, the star quarterback she tutored in college and secretly crushed on, gets drafted to her father's team, everything changes. Brooks isn't just any player; he's the one Lolo's never been able to forget. The one who made her heart race with every stolen glance and every late-night study session that ended too soon. Now, Brooks is back in her life, wearing the same team colors she's grown up loving and fearing. The chemistry between them is undeniable, and the stakes couldn't be higher. With her father's watchful eyes and the pressures of the NFL, Lolo knows she should keep her distance. But the more time she spends around Brooks, the harder it is to follow the rules. As the season heats up, so does their forbidden attraction. Lolo must decide if she's willing to risk everything-her relationship with her father, her heart, and Brooks' future on the team-for a chance at love that's always felt just out of reach. In a world where loyalty is everything and the game is life, Lolo and Brooks will have to play by their own rules if they want to win the ultimate prize: each other

"I love how this book is turning out!😍 Not cliche at all!" - i_hatecliche "We might live next door to each other," Haley said, "but we don't live in the same world." Hooking her fingers around her backpack straps, she walked away from Jace. She had barely gone a few steps before he was at her side again. "What makes you believe we don't live in the same world?" he asked. "As far as I can tell, we do." "No, we don't. I'm...me and you're Jace Cortez. The dream of every girl. The friend to every guy. The star of the school. Girls. Sports. You're the ultimate player." "It sounds like you have a preconceived notion of who I am." "And it's one that has yet to be proven wrong." From books and a lifetime of sitting on the sidelines, Haley is convinced she knows how the world works, specifically high school. Everyone has a label and a box they fit in. This knowledge, paired with parents who are fighting, a brother leaving soon for college and a best friend who moved away has made her decide to never get involved. It will take being forced to work with her fellow juniors on a project, a boy next door with a infectious smile, a star gazer with an adorable puppy, and an unlikely pair of fangirls to make her see how truly wrong she was about everything. "IT'S NOT CLICHÉ!!!" - Moria987 "This is the reason y I keep coming back to this book...It's simply a breathtaking journey" - mariyamsajorawala "I don't usually comment but this is one of the best books I've read here.
