Summary

Kyle Robbins: Seattle's rookie tight end and the first boy to break my heart.
Oh, did I mention he's also my new client... and fake boyfriend?


The commission from working with him is a key to my new life -- it's worth putting up with the cocky athlete. The problem is that my past is dark, and when Kyle sees the bruises, he thinks he can save me.

Fake-dating each other was supposed to be for my safety.
But I can't help thinking my heart is more at risk now than ever before.

TROPES:
Sports Romance

ummm excuse me!? This is not the Kyle we all grew to be annoyed by in the previous books in this series. The redemption arc?! YES PLEASE.

It always blows my mind when the MMCs completely take you by surprise by exposing their history or trauma and show you the real person behind the mask/public persona. That's exactly what we get from Kyle in the fifth installment of the Red Zone Rivals.

THIS MAN IS OBSESSED. and as a result, so am I.

This book reads a little insta-lovey, BUT I will almost always give that a pass when it's a second chance romance. You know they've had feelings for one another before, so it's easier to believe they would fall back into that quickly.

I really loved this book and thought it was a great way to round out this series.

*spoilers ahead*


I'm not an accidental pregnancy girlie, but oh my god I did not mind that this was accidental pregnancy at all! I think it's because they were both genuinely so excited to be parents, the fact that she is a single mom and therefore has a child already, and that this is second chance. ESPECIALLY given how devastated Kyle is to find out the truth about their past. ughhhhhh it was just very good. very very good. I hate when the unexpected child becomes a point of conflict and there isn't even a flicker of doubt in either of them.

kyle? is that you?
