Reviews:
"I got sucked into this book. I mean, hook line and sinker sucked in. I was deeply invested in these characters. Hooked folks, I'm positively hooked."--Recommended Read from Wendy, the Super Librarian
"I am thoroughly impressed with Ms. Davenport's ability to instill escapism in her story. For the duration, I was consumed with her tale of two friends to lovers intertwined with football." -- Top Pick from Yadira, Night Owl Reviews
"The ending was heartrending and I loved reading my way through the football season with a player who had lost his mojo." Jane Litte via Goodreads
"Fourth and Goal displayed a deep and comfortable knowledge of football but strangely enough it wasn't the on field shenanigans that I enjoyed the most, but the off the field relationships that the characters developed. ...I was captivated..." Jane at Dear Author
"Romance so real that you feel you are there."--Trixie, Blackravens Reviews
"A good beach or airplane read and you don't have to know a lot about football to enjoy the story." --Alberta, Manic Readers Reviews« less
