This is honestly the book my dreams, just like all of Ki’s books are. I’m feeling so grateful to have gotten to read this already! To have read her trad debut already! I remember knowing how special Ki was when I first arc read Spring Tide!

Ella and Hudson are perfection. A one night stand to no strings attached but also so many strings!! They also became such good FRIENDS! And I love watching them figure it out, and try to fight their feelings for as long as they could! But their instant connection was delicious and there was no getting away from that.

I loved how vulnerable they were able to be with each other. Despite the temporariness of their situation they couldn’t help but feel so comfortable and safe in their relationship. Hudson was able to open up about his mental health and Ella was able to tell to him about her strained family situation.

Also my favorite thing about Hudson, among many things obviously, was that football was not his end goal. It was still very much a sports romance, but the fact that he wasn’t hoping to make it to the NFL felt so refreshing. And I LOVED that they got to bond over cheer! It was SO FUN. And it was so important to both of them, and I loved that they got to share that.

I am a fan of Ki for life, I will always read her books! And I cannot wait for more from this series??!!

Thank you so much to SMP for the arc in exchange for an honest review!

For whatever reason this one just wasn’t able to hold my attention. I love sports romances, especially football and cheer, but it seemed overly technical to me. I get needing to explain how stunts are done and how football practices/games go, but it was so focused on those details that my attention kept waning and I’d have to reread pages several times. There was more focus on those things than progressing the story at times, it seemed.

Game On follows Ella as she moves from Oxford to Nashville for a study abroad year. She encounters lots of culture shocks - the biggest one being Hudson, the school's football star. They agree to a no-strings-attached relationship and who would guess.. they get attached.

This book was a fun time and definitely worth the read for fans of new adult and college romances!
