Synopsis: Disgraced college quarterback Logan Hunt was on his way to NFL stardom when he messed up big-time. Now the Texas star player with a bad temper has a new option: Seattle’s EOL College—as in End of the Line, to his fellow misfit recruits. It’s Logan’s last chance. If he can follow the rules. No parties, no fighting, no swearing, and oh, no dating the coach’s daughter, Jess. Simple. Yeah, right. For Logan, there has never been a rule he’s more tempted to break.
The deal is “just friends.” The pretty, confident, and fiercely smart math whiz is fine with pizza, tutoring, and keeping Logan in line. But the closer Jess gets, the more receptive she is to his warm heart and spirit—not to mention his irresistible off-field passes. With defenses down, they’re both heading into the danger zone.
It’s more than thrilling. It’s love. It’s also a game changer that could sideline Logan’s NFL goals—and more important, a future with Jess. But dreams are worth fighting for, right?
I haven't read any of this author's books and I hadn't heard about this book until the publisher emailed me and this book was included in the email! The cover and synopsis intrigued me, so I downloaded a copy and read it as soon as I could! After reading this book, I have to say that I enjoyed it a lot! The plot developed at a nice pace and it kept me interested and wanting to find out what was going to happen next! I loved the direction that the author took the plot in as well! I mean, it was kinda easy to work out what was going to happen next, but I was so invested in the main characters relationship that I didn't care lol! There was also plenty of romance in the plot and a few hot scenes between the two main characters! The characters were also amazing and made this book even better! Jess was the main female character, and in this book she worked hard and she had her head on straight! Jess had also been through a horrible situation and this made me feel so sorry for her, but Jess was a strong character that had come a long way! I also connected with her in this book and found her to be a very likeable character! I loved the way she was with her love interest too and it was beautiful to see her feelings for him grow! Logan was the main male character and love interest of Jess! I loved Logan a lot in this book! I actually thought that he was going to maybe be a bit of an ass or quite big-headed, but he wasn't at all! Logan was also seriously hot too and he had been through a lot in his childhood! This meant that he worked hard in this book to make sure that he did something with his life! This made me have a lot of respect for him! I loved the way that Logan was with Jess too and it was easy to see how much he loved her! I loved that this book was written from both Jess and Logan's point of views! I wasn't sure if it was going to be before I started reading as the synopsis gives the impression that it's only going to be written from the male character's point of view, so I was really happy when I started reading and discovered that it was written from dual point of view! It helped me connect and understand Jess and Logan more and it allowed for a few more things to happen in the plot, especially as they didn't spend every minute of the plot together and had their own goals! I can also completely understand why this book is a standalone! I'm really sad that it is because I would love to read more on Jess and Logan, but the ending was left at the perfect place and was very beautiful! I now can't wait to read more books from this author! I know that she has quite a few released, so I can't wait to give some of them a read! The cover for this book is also absolutely perfect for it! I love it a lot and it would definitely draw me to the book! It suits the feel of the book too and the cover model is the perfect Logan! Big thank you to Sariah, Montlake Romance and Netgalley for an ARC of The Friend Zone!
