An All-Star football player. A popular cheerleader. Can they finally move from the friend zone to the end zone?
Gia Bella
I’ve been working this low-wage-going-nowhere job for ten years. Don’t even ask about my dating life. Yes, sir, life is pretty…uneventful. That is until my hoarding dad accidentally burrito-wraps himself in his collection of fly paper.
I’ll pause so you can visualize that.
Who should answer his bellowing cries for help, but none other than the boy next door—A.K.A. North Newson, the single man I’ve loved since I was six years old. Only now, he’s all grown up, and still oh so handsome. With decades of unrequited love steeping, I can’t fight the attraction anymore.
However, there’s one small issue.
Just when we make progress, he pulls away as he did last time, leaving me to wonder if he’s falling for me too, or if he’s just simply being a nice guy.
North Newson
Highschool was football and Gia, but life brought about one giant fumble for both.
I moved on from football, going to college for coaching instead. I lucked out and scored the head coaching job at the very same school I had attended. But I never moved on from Gia no matter how hard I tried. When a second chance with Gia shows up, the instant magnetism returns, and I try my hardest to win her heart.
However, there’s one small issue.
Someone is trying to keep us apart.
Only this time I vow not to be defeated again.
No matter what happens.

As a lover of chai lattes, how could I not dive into this sweet romcom?! I read through a few of the books in the first collection (and plan to go back and read the ones I missed!), and knew that I would fall in love with this collection even more because of the fall-themes. Each one can be read as a standalone and provides a clean romance.
The book begins by giving us a glimpse at how North and Gia initially met. Gia is the sister of North’s friend/rival — can we say a little forbidden?! But their age and inexperience result in North being unable to tell Gia how he feels. So when their paths cross again, he decides to finally go after the woman he has never gotten over. Yet, even after a decade, Gia’s brother, Rocco, is unable to let go of the standard/threat he gave North all those years ago.
Both North and Gia have such big hearts and made me root for them from the very start. Especially North and what he does for Gia’s father! Talk about SWOON! There are plenty of moments that made me giggle and a twinge at the heartfelt moments that tested the limits of what these two could go through to find their HEA. This was a quick read, but I felt satisfied in how well everything unfolded and wrapped up by the end. This was a first of the author for me, but I can’t wait to read more of her work, as well as the series!
