The Final Play isn’t always the end. Sometimes, it’s the beginning of something far more beautiful.
BLURB:
As a professional linebacker, I lived and breathed football.
The only thing I loved as much as the game was my twin brother, Max, who kept me almost as busy cleaning up his messes.
The most recent of which landed him behind bars.
So, it shouldn’t have surprised me when a beautiful woman showed up on my doorstep, claiming to be pregnant with Max’s baby.
Glory was unexpected, infuriating, and flat-out crazy most of the time.
But no matter how hard I tried to deny it, that tiny spitfire slammed into my boring life with the strength of a Category 5 hurricane, blowing through my defenses until she’d carved her name in my heart—permanently.
I feared we would never work. She was a single mom, my brother’s ex, and one more chance for me to fail yet another person I loved.
But if football was my church, then Glory was my heaven.

My Review: 4 Stars
Mason Stark has not had the easiest life, but he puts all of himself in football and his twin brother Max especially since the two lost their parents in a tragic accident. However, Max makes plenty of messes that Mason feels he needs to clean up until he lands in jail this last time. Now Mason realizes he needs to quit cleaning up after Max or he will never learn.
Glory Tolson tracks Mason down trying to find his brother Max to tell him he is going to be a father. She's now 7 months pregnant and hasn't seen Max since the weekend their son was conceived. Glory may not have much to her name but she knows how to survive and won't let anyone boss her around or tell her what to do. Mason doesn't want to disappoint another family member so he clings to making sure Glory and his nephew are being taken care of but Glory doesn't want any handouts.
This was definitely a cute, funny book! I was a little worried about the brother's ex and brother's baby in the womb, but honestly I loved Mason and Glory together and was rooting for them to end up together! Glory made Mason work to get her to stay and didn't let him disrespect her. Mason showed Glory that she wasn't alone and that she's special. This seemed like an enemy to lovers and slow burn romance with lots of comedy. Sometimes there is more to life than Football, but learning to trust the ones around you. I would definitely recommend this book if you are looking for a bickering couple with extreme chemistry!
EXCERPT!
He was the best man I’d ever known and I couldn’t have him. I probably didn’t deserve him, anyway.
Tears flooded my eyes and I paid the cashier as fast as possible before practically running behind the buggy to get to my car. I loaded the groceries, tears trailing my cheeks.
I didn’t even bother to wipe them away. This whole situation was sad. It deserved my tears. Every damn one of them. Because Mason and Glory could never be.
It would be weird and wrong. What the hell would we even tell people? How would we explain? And how would Max feel? I had a feeling it wasn’t good at all.
I climbed into the front seat of my car and held on to my steering wheel for dear life. And sobbed. And then when I was done sobbing , I beat the shit out of that steering wheel and then the dashboard.
Because life wasn’t fair. It just fucking wasn’t and again and again it just kept throwing me punch after punch. How long was I supposed to still stay standing?
I felt like this might be the final punch and it was a knockout. Because I had a feeling that Mason Stark was my person. And I couldn’t even have him.
