Francesca and Jade are rivals from the jump. They are both high school teachers who care deeply about football. Jade and Franny clash as they both compete to be a part of a high school football coaching team. As they get to know each other, they realize that they have a lot in common. Can Franny and Jade’s relationship survive when the coaching roster hangs in the balance between them?

Jodie Slaughter writes sizzling hot sapphic romance, with a solid background plot of breaking into football coaching. Franny and Jade have excellent chemistry and their interactions (especially in the beginning) are hilarious. I enjoyed the side characters and love that both Franny and Jade have solid family/friendship ties. Jodie Slaughter writes excellent character growth and romance. 

Thank you to Jodie Slaughter, St. Martin’s Griffin, and NetGalley for a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.
