Red Zone
Carter I’ve spent my whole life proving people wrong. From foster homes to the football field, I clawed my way out, one yard at a time. And now? I’m on the verge of everything I’ve worked for. The draft. The NFL. The future I’ve always dreamed about. Except all I can think about… is her. Lyla Harding– my coach’s daughter.
Lyla Carter Hayes is a walking headline waiting to happen. And I’m the one who’s supposed to keep his image clean. He’s infuriating. Arrogant. Impossible to ignore. And the more I tell myself he’s just another assignment… the harder it gets to pretend he isn’t everything I’ve ever wanted. Choosing him could cost me everything I’ve worked for. But staying away might break me anyway.

Ratings and reviews
<div>Thank you to Chasing Books PR and Riley Paige for this arc in exchange for an honest review Lyla has panic attacks and OCD. No one has seen this side of her besides her dad and best friend, Madison. She refuses to let anyone in. Especially egotistical athletes like Carter. Carter has never felt wanted and doesn’t think he’ll ever find love. He still loves to get under Lyla’s skin though. What do you do when you fall for the enemy? </div><div> </div><div>I love the nicknames they give each other. Cute things like that make me happy. The banter in this is TOP TIER. All the parties were never what I expected them to be. It’s adorable how Carter likes that Lyla barks back at him. I feel terrible about how everyone sees Carter as a playboy when he’s so incredibly sweet. The jealousy is fantastic. I enjoy the fact that they both go to each other first instead of their friends. The mental health rep in this is everything. Love doesn’t care who you are. It just hits you like a truck. You may not see it coming but it’s on its way. This needs more than 5 stars so I give it 6</div><div> </div><div>This was absolutely perfect. I loved every second of this book. I smiled and kicked my feet. I laughed and cried. It was very emotional but totally worth the therapy bill that’s coming Riley’s way. </div>
