Fifty Yard Line by Cara North

 

Blurb:

No better place to experience football than the Fifty Yard Line.

If you like athletes that are tough on the field, but gentle off, this is the sports romance for you!

As a photojournalist for the college paper looking to do something noteworthy, she didn't think twice about heading to the football field for the game of a lifetime.

He was aware there were people along the sidelines. There always was, but they would move if a player was about to cross that line.

One crash landing changes both of their lives in this fun, college romance where public faces are not the same in private places.

This story was previously published in the limited-edition Jocks anthology.

 

My review:

I adored Poppy and Brady’s story. Not exactly a meet cute but she can tell her grandchildren he bowled her over. Brady is a BMOC, a star football player, and a good guy but he is not a fan of the press.

College sophomore Poppy is studying to be a photojournalist and when she is given a chance to cover the big game she is ecstatic! She was so involved in doing her job she didn’t see the two very large men heading her way.

This was a sweet, funny and sometimes silly tale of two young adults learning that you can’t tell a book by its cover and that college is for learning.  I heartily recommend.
