Jake’s my best friend and first love. There’s just one problem—he belongs to my sister.
I’ve been crushing on Jake for years, but never had the guts to tell him. One drunken night with my sister and two pink lines later, and he’s lost to me forever.
She doesn’t care that I met Jake Ramirez first. That he and I were best friends first. That I fell in love with him first. Because what my sister wants, my sister gets.
When she video-calls me and Jake accidentally walks by in the buff, something in me snaps.
Transferring to a different college might seem like a copout, but I have to get away from Jake and my sister before I say or do something I’ll regret. In an act of desperation, I ghost my old life.
For the next two years, everything is great—until I come face-to-face with Jake and his son, who my sister abandoned.
Jake’s the new wide receiver at my school, and he wants nothing to do with me, which is fine because I plan to keep my distance. Except we’re thrown together in the most dire circumstances that bring back all those old feelings.
They say everyone deserves a second chance, but my heart can’t handle breaking one more time.
Second Down Darling is an angsty, friends-to-lovers, forbidden romance, featuring a sexy single dad who’s a down-and-out college football player and a nerdy girl determined to overcome her wallflower ways. It has major second chance vibes and lots of steam! Second Down Darling is a dual POV standalone in the USA Today-bestselling series Varsity Dads.

REVIEW
4 Stars
Another good one by Lex Martin. This was such a good second chance romance. Man my heart bled for Charlotte in the beginning of this one and what her family especially her nasty piece of work sister. She is so vile! Both Charlotte and Jake have lost so much time because of manipulations, but fate has put these two back into each other's orbit. Jake and Charlotte were best friends first and for a long time, but this second time around there is more developing. Little Asher is such a cutie patootie! . I'm not gonna lie there was one part of this book that almost had me almost giving up so I cheated and peaked ahead to make sure a happy outcome because I really didn't want it to ruin the book for me. Good news all was well!! I'm really glad Billy is getting a book because I have feeling there is so much to him that's on the surface. He's such a good friend which he proves time and time again in this one for both Charlotte and Jake.
