Heartfelt opposites attract football YA romance book perfect for fans of Alexandra Moody, Jenny Han, and Jenn Bennett.

Star quarterback for my high school team, I am at the top of my game. Everyone wants a piece of me. Except the one person I want to give all of me to.
Straight A student and swimming champion, Melinda Shepard has no interest in me or my football glory or my dating rep sheet. A few years ago, we’d nearly become friends, but that connection went up in flames before we had time to really get to know each other. When her life is at risk one night, and I’m the only one there to care for her, I’m back in the friendship zone. Finally. Years later, our chemistry hasn’t faded, and that attraction between us is still sizzling. Even though my heart belongs to her, and I’m pretty sure hers is mine too, Melinda is trying to keep me at arm’s length, hiding a life-threatening secret from me, one that can ruin her and put our blooming relationship in jeopardy too.

Now that truths are being exposed and feelings are being hurt, our friendship may be the only thing salvageable. Until an unexpected challenge complicates our new reality. Never did I imagine that falling in love with the girl of my dreams would turn out to be the hardest play of my life, one that would change me forever.

As pain, lies, and unsaid words mix, do we have a chance at love, or is our relationship doomed from the start?
 
Kickoff is book one in the Touchdown series. It’s a spinoff from the Wrecked series.

Heartfelt

"Kickoff" by Emmanuelle Snow, the first book in the Touchdown series, is a heartfelt YA romance you won't want to miss. This captivating story features a dynamic childhood friends-to-enemies-to-lovers trope between the high school football quarterback and his swimming star neighbor. It also thoughtfully explores teen mental health and emotions, adding depth to their journey. You'll be on the edge of your seat wondering: will they get their happy ending?

Emotional rollercoaster

Boy oh boy. This book took me on quite the emotional rollercoaster. I was up, down, and sideways with Melinda and Mason's story.

The way that as soon as Mason met Melinda, he knew that she was "The One" for him was so endearing. Even at a young age. Melinda took longer to share the same feelings. In fact, these two never cross the border into boyfriend/girlfriend territory. They are stuck in the "friend zone".

Melinda has so many reasons why she can't be Mason's girlfriend. Mason is more than willing to change and prove to Melinda just how much she means to him. While there are times that it does m=feel like Mason puts a lot of pressure on Melinda to be his girlfriend, the way that he truly cares for her and talks to her is so endearing.

By the end of this story by heart has shattered. I need the follow up book to Mason and Melinda's story ASAP! This book is one you don't want to miss. Melinda and Mason will stick with you.

Melinda and Mason

I am a big fan of Emmanuelle Snow's books, and this one did not disappoint. Great to read Melinda and Mason's story. I found Mason a very irresistible character. I had a lot of emotions for Melinda, such a sad character. I hope they get their happily ever after. This does end in a cliffhanger, and I can't wait to read the rest of this series. I hope the next book comes out soon.
