About this ebook

Jake’s my best friend and first love. There’s just one problem—he belongs to my sister.

  I’ve been crushing on Jake for years, but never had the guts to tell him. One drunken night with my sister and two pink lines later, and he’s lost to me forever.

She doesn’t care that I met Jake Ramirez first. That he and I were best friends first. That I fell in love with him first. Because what my sister wants, my sister gets.

When she video-calls me and Jake accidentally walks by in the buff, something in me snaps.

Transferring to a different college might seem like a copout, but I have to get away from Jake and my sister before I say or do something I’ll regret. In an act of desperation, I ghost my old life.

For the next two years, everything is great—until I come face-to-face with Jake and his son, who my sister abandoned.

Jake’s the new wide receiver at my school, and he wants nothing to do with me, which is fine because I plan to keep my distance. Except we’re thrown together in the most dire circumstances that bring back all those old feelings.

They say everyone deserves a second chance, but my heart can’t handle breaking one more time.

 Second Down Darling is an angsty, friends-to-lovers, forbidden romance, featuring a sexy single dad who’s a down-and-out college football player and a nerdy girl determined to overcome her wallflower ways. It has major second chance vibes and lots of steam! Second Down Darling is a dual POV standalone in the USA Today-bestselling series Varsity Dads.

This book hit all the feels. I laughed, I cried and I raged. Charlotte is a character that resonated a lot with me. She’s sweet, shy and puts others happiness above her own. Until she realizes what she wants is worth speaking up and fighting for. Jake is a swoon worthy single dad. He’s juggling school, a new football team and single parenthood like a pro. Don’t even get me started on that dirty mouth. There’s something extremely hot about a man that knows how to use his words.

This book was AMAZING!! The things these two are going to do to your heart are absolutely sinful. The angst is thick, the emotions raw, the steam blazing and the heart as sweet as honey. This couple gives off some wickedly serious meant to be vibes that are sure to have your heart aching, cracking and bleeding for them along the way because their journey is long and the obstacles they face are many. In the end though, every tear is worth it because The Feels & The Swoon are divine!
