Blurb:

Life can be hard and it can be cruel. Thrusting single mothers into hardships and then leaving them to watch as their children struggle, only to fail.

I couldn’t become that statistic, I needed to push myself beyond my limits, and rip my family out of that mold. Forcing myself to be better, do better, and letting my body take the brunt of those efforts. All I could see was that endzone and what it would mean for my impoverished family.

Just when I think I’ve made it, thinking that all the blood, sweat, and tears were worth it, I’m slapped back into reality. No grass is greener, no matter where you are, and no amount of money makes you a good person.

Love is not kind and if it’s not conventional, it’s disregarded. Secrets born from shame and anger nurtured from hate, blend inside my heart.

How can love win when everyone wants it to fail?

💙💙💙REVIEW 💙💙💙

Sebastian Avando, a Tight End veteran, and the unofficial "unwelcome committee" of the team. He was alpha dog of the team. I really, really wanted to hate him, especially after the brutality of what he did to our other H. His actions were completely inexcusable, but damn it, as the story went on, I really tried. 

Dixon North, a Wide Receiver rookie, with a bright future ahead of him. Unfortunately, he caught the attention of Sebastian and Sebastian decided he needed to be "put in his place." 

 "I want him to know as fucked up as we are and after everything that’s happened between us, he at least has me." 

Over time after the incident, they both were going into uncharted territory. Attraction sets in and they both are completely clueless about what's happening. EVERYTHING about this relationship is completely toxic. But, you can't help but want them to explore more. I feel so wrong lol.  Seriously, I can't even define what they are to each other enemies to lovers, rivals to lovers, f*ck buddies, maybe all three? 

As a football fan, I highly enjoyed this. It was very realistic and I couldn't stop laughing (and cheering) at the beginning where they were all booing at the NFL Commissioner. 

Seriously, Is there anything C.A Rene can't write??? She always seems to blow me away! This was such a raw, emotional roller coaster. I swear, you felt every emotion thrown your way. You are left with a crazy cliffhanger . Can't wait for more!!
