From the author of the Wicked Bay series, comes an angsty YA/NA enemies-to-lovers romance. Cocky football players, school rivalry, and the girls who get in their way. Get ready … The Raiders are coming! 

Hailee Raine only has to survive one more year. 
One year of life in her football obsessed town. 
One year of nauseating school spirit. 
Just one more year of her cruel step-brother Jason; and his cocky, arrogant, football-playing friends. 
She hates them. Especially, Cameron Chase, the guy she thought was different. 

Cameron Chase has the world at his feet. 
He has it all; good looks, talent, and the charm to go with it. 
He has colleges lined up at the door, all wanting a piece of Rixon Raiders star wide receiver. 
Until something threatens everything he's ever worked for, and only one person can quiet the war raging inside him.
But he's supposed to hate her; his best friend's sister. 

She's off-limits. 
Untouchable. 
She's trouble with a capital T. 

Then Hailee finds herself in the middle of a football prank gone wrong... 
And suddenly hating each other never felt so good. 

The Trouble With Youis the first book in The Rixon Raiders series. All books in this series can be read as standalones!

Read my Book Review

Release Date: June 19, 2019
Genre: New Adult Romance (with some bullying)
Actual Rating: 4 stars

The Trouble with You is the first book I have read by L.A. Cotton! I have had many of her books on my radar for a while now but haven't had a chance to dive in. Until this one... The Trouble with You is an awesome YA/NA crossover romance. The story takes place in high school but are all in their senior year and don't come off as "young". Some books you can tell the age in terms of the way they act and behave and see the immaturity but that's not the case here. I enjoyed getting to know the characters. I liked how their relationships were super hateful in the beginning but then lead to more. I also liked The friendship between Flick and Hailee. Sometimes it felt like Hailee wore the pants in their friendship (for lack of a better term), but it's clear how close two are and the fact that Flick could make Hailee do things she never would have dared before (like going to a party or a football game) was really cool to watch. They essentially brought each other out of their shells like all BFFs should! 

That little twist at the ending didn't come as a surprise to me, it was basically hinted at throughout the book. However, I know there will be some readers who won't see it coming and I hope they really love the surprise! Don't worry, this is a complete standalone novel but the ending sets the tone for book 2! I am really excited for it!

If you are in the mood for the following, this is the book for you:

▶ Young Adult/New Adult Romance (I feel it's more NA than YA)
▶ An enemies to lovers romance that spans YEARS
▶ A standalone BULLY romance (the heroine is bullied by her stepbrother and even the hero at some points during the story)
▶ A sports/football romance

Now, while I enjoyed the story for the most part, I will tell you why this is a 4 star read for me rather than a 5. I gave The Trouble with You 4 stars because I felt like there were some unresolved moments within the story I couldn't look past. I won't say outright what they are but if you need to know you can read my spoiler here (view spoiler).

★★★★
