Kickoff by Emmanuelle Snow | YA Contemporary Romantic Fiction Novel

Hearts collide. Sparks fly. If only love came with a playbook.

Star quarterback. Straight-A swimmer. Two lives tangled up in history, hurt, and everything they never got the chance to be.

I'm on top of the world-the king of the field, the guy everyone wants. Everyone except Melinda Shepard. She's brilliant, guarded, and completely unimpressed by my reputation. When we were kids, we came close to becoming something real-until I messed it up before either of us had the chance to figure out what that something even was.

Now we're older, further apart, and still somehow stuck in each other's orbit.

When one night takes a dangerous turn, I'm the one who refuses to walk away. Suddenly, every old feeling comes rushing back. But wanting Melinda has never been the problem. Getting her to trust me again? That's where everything falls apart.

She's hiding more than she'll admit, and the harder I try to hold on, the faster she pulls away. As pressure closes in and the tension between us ignites, every unsaid word threatens to drag us both under.

Falling for the girl who could break your heart?

Yeah. That was the easy part.

Kickoff is book one in the Touchdown series—a YA coming-of-age romance full of secrets, football rivalry, banter, life-long friendships, and sizzling chemistry. For the best reading experience, it should be read before Game Plan. It’s a spinoff from the Wrecked series.

This did for me in the most glorious of ways. Touchdown Kickoff was mighty fine ,in fact it’s a divine storyline . Will you be mine angst dance and then a glimpse at romance . It’s the play of his life to keep her safe and warm in his arms but first the disarms ,the charm offensive but it ends up defensive and even pensive heat. It’s a bit of a seesaw ride that’s for sure . A push and they’re friends once more then not agin ,she does refrain and he tries agin but it’s a great story and the characters are sweet a real treat. I’m keeping schtum as I don’t want to give nothing away . I do wish we’d had more of Melissa’s pov though as well as Mason who is a strong MMC but just left to hold up the story at times.

Mason & Melinda (book 1)

I absolutely loved this book! The beginning of Mason and Melinda's story is beautiful and heartbreaking all at the same time. Be prepared for an emotional roller-coaster.

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.
