Personal Foul by Maggie Rawdon

Steamy and angst filled, Easton and Wren’s story brings all the snarkiness and banter I was hoping for but with some seriously sweet moments along the way. Their book begins with Easton hiding away from a party that’s supposed to be celebrating his football team’s season in Wren’s bedroom while she’s at work. She returns and finds him there and is not at all happy about it. They’re definitely not friends, but at the same time there’s something more there. One thing leads to another, and they finally give in to each other, but theirs isn’t an easy love affair. A lot happens with these two, but will they be able get over their “hateship,” or will all the obstacles they’re facing be too much?

These two haven’t gotten along since the start of the series, but I love how they finally come together and find that maybe they were wrong about each other. They press each other’s buttons every chance they get, and it’s almost as though they can’t help but to try to get under one another’s skin. It’s like they’ve just been fighting this tense chemistry and seeing how their relationship pans out is so satisfying.

Easton is sneaky swoony. Like after reading the previous books I figured there had to be more to him than meets the eye, but I was not prepared for how good he was here. It turns out he’s not exactly what he led us to believe. He may have been excessively “friendly” with the female student population before Wren, but after initially getting with her? Totally changed. It’s like she gave him a reason to be a better man.

And Wren? She’s feisty and strong, albeit rather stubborn, and she’s not even about to deal with Easton’s antics. I think his character needed someone as strong as Wren to finally make him realize that he’s more than what he comes from and what everyone expects him to be. Their chemistry is off-the-charts good, and I couldn’t get enough of them.

If you love enemies-to-lovers/college-sports romances, then you’re going to want to read Easton and Wren’s story. The spice and Easton’s charm are on point, and the drama will keep you up late reading.
