⭐️ 5 "Love Hard" Stars ⭐️
Oh, how I missed the Raiders and their girls! I was so excited to dive into The Endgame Is You and watch their relationships grow through their college experiences. These three couples made me fall in love with them all over again with this novel being the perfect extended epilogue to the Rixon Raiders Series.
Jason has grown so much since his arrogant ways in high school. His love for Felicity is so palpable and truly magnificent. Football is his passion and it shows in college with his dedication to the sport. But his true love is Felicity! Being so invested with his team creates a certain distance between Jase and Felicity. She’s hurting with doubts about the future of their relationship. I loved how they navigate these difficult moments and how Jason steps up and proves that she’s the most important thing in his life. He had me swooning hard for him.
Then we have Asher and Mya! This couple lives their love life so beautifully. They’re the perfect couple, always there for each other. Asher is still the same jokester, but at the same time he’s so far gone for Mya. There’s no doubt in his mind that she’s the one and that makes him even more endearing! He’s the ever supportive boyfriend to her and her dreams. Mya is the same confident girl, driven and selfless in her desire to help others.
Finally, there’s Hailey and Cameron. I must admit that those two broke my little heart! I was in agony for them! As much as they love each other so deeply, their relationship is tested when Cam’s family suffers some hard time. Between his college life miles away from Rixon with Hailey and being supportive of his family’s hardship is nearly impossible. He needs to decide what are his priorities and make difficult choices that had me teary-eyed.
Seriously, all three couples had me entranced by their journeys! I enjoyed that in spite of the distance between these friends, they’re always available to help each other against the hurdles life puts in their ways. Their bond is unbreakable and utterly mesmerizing. They’re more than friends: they’re family! The Endgame Is You is without a doubt my favorite book in this series! The level of feels these pages delivers had me captivated all read long. I’m now so eager for the next generation of Raiders coming next year!!!

“She’s always with tutor boy.” I bristled. Darcy’s name was becoming a regular mention in our conversation. I fucking hated it, but it wasn’t like I could complain, not when Asher was right. I was spending more time with the team than Felicity. But it was only for another few weeks. Once the season was over, things would settle. We could be us again.
“Dude, you’re not seriously jealous about a guy who enjoys talking about animal science all day?”
“You’re forgetting that Felicity also likes talking about that stuff.”
“He’s her tutor. You’re her... person.”
Cameron chuckled. “He’s right, you know. You and Felicity are going the distance. All couples have highs and lows.”
“Well being in a low fucking sucks.”
“You’re still... doing it, right?”
I gawked at Asher. “What are we, five?”
“I’m just trying to help.” He shrugged.
“Yeah, well maybe we should change the subject.” Dissecting my relationship with Felicity was making me cranky.
“If you make it as one of the Heisman finalists, we can take a trip to New York for the weekend to celebrate.”
“Seriously, Ash, the chances of me getting shortlisted are almost non-existent.” I rubbed my jaw.
“Still, I’ll ask my old man if we can reserve the penthouse for the weekend. That way, even if you don’t shortlist, we can still go, but it can be a commiseration instead of a celebration.” A shit-eating grin tugged at his mouth.
“There’s something very wrong with you,” I grumbled.
“But you love me.”
Yeah, I did. He might have been like sunshine on a fucking rainy day, but Asher was my best friend. Cameron too. Almost fifteen months had passed since we left Rixon for college, but they were still my guys.
Always would be.
He pulled out his cell phone and I frowned. “What are you doing?”
“Texting my dad.”
Cameron smothered a chuckle and I rolled my eyes. “Of course you are.”

Angsty. Edgy. Addictive Romance
Author of mature young adult and new adult novels, L A is happiest writing the kind of books she loves to read: addictive stories full of teenage angst, tension, twists and turns.
Home is a small town in the middle of England where she currently juggles being a full-time writer with being a mother/referee to two little people. In her spare time (and when she’s not camped out in front of the laptop) you’ll most likely find L A immersed in a book, escaping the chaos that is life.
