It all started with a dare.

Emily Flanagan has been living her dreams the last four years as a professional cheerleader for the Los Angeles Vipers, thousands of miles away from her tiny hometown of Summersweet Island, Virginia. She’s got the world at the tips of her pom-poms... until she tells her boss to shove those pom-poms where the sun doesn’t shine.

After spending her last night in California with her biggest crush, Emily flies back home to Summersweet, resigned to her boring fate of running her parents’ business, never to be heard from again. Besides, there’s no use crying over a man who lives on the other side of the country, who she’ll never see again.

“Secret love affair for the new quarterback of the Virginia Beach Sharks, or a shocking tale of infidelity, leading all the way back to a birthday party Quinn Bagley threw at his previous home in Calabasas five months ago? New photos of the mystery redhead 
​from the party surface, leaving fans to speculate all over social media, “Who is this woman who convinced Quinn Bagley to quit the Vipers and go to one of the worst teams in the league?”

Quinn Bagley is finally playing for a team that feels like a family, after years of playing with nothing but egos. Following an announcement that shocked the world—one he’d been wrestling with for months, if not years—it felt good to have that weight lifted off his shoulders. What he’s not happy about is that the woman who rocked his world the night she literally fell into his life turned out to be like every other crazy redhead he’s ever encountered, spreading lies all over social media and wanting to use him for something. He just wants to look her in the eyes and hear her admit it was all a game.

Except Emily Flanagan isn’t the hotheaded, rude woman he thought she was, out to screw him over. She’s sweet, sexy, and fun. Even if she does try to banish him from her island. She makes him feel normal, she makes him laugh, and she makes him want more.

He’s going to win her heart, even if he has to do it in overtime.

Let the real games begin, Miss Flanagan. I dare you.

READ MY BOOK REVIEW

𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗪 𝗦𝗡𝗔𝗣𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗧: Tara Sivec always writes the best characters! I want to befriend them all and live on Summersweet Island with them!

Tara Sivec is one of my FAVORITE authors because she writes amazing characters with hearts full of gold. She also writes some of the most HILARIOUS romcoms that I’ve ever read! If you haven’t read her then you’re missing out! Anyway, this book is funny. There were a lot of laugh out loud moments and the budding relationship between Quinn and Emily was really fun to watch. However, this book was really slow for me. Normally I can read one of her books in one sitting but this one took me a few days to get through. Perhaps it’s because I simply wasn’t in the mood for it at the time and if that’s the case it’s a situation where “it’s not you it’s me”. But yea, it was extremely slow for the first 40%. I almost gave up… Thankfully I didn’t though because once I got through the first 40%, I breezed right through.

First and Tension is a cheerleader/football player romance. If you enjoy the sports genre then I think you’ll like this one! The focus is definitely more on Emily’s cheerleading but there are football references too. This book also has a fake relationship trope. Quinn and Emily decide that a little white lie to the big boss wouldn’t hurt and it didn’t. Until they fell in love…

If you’re a fan of the author, sports romances, romcoms, and books that will just make you feel good then I definitely recommend this one! I adore Tara’s book and look forward to reading the first two of the series (which I haven’t gotten to yet). I know I am going to LOVE those characters love stories!
