Review: Reckless Love by Willow Aster (The Single Dad Playbook #3)
Note: An advance reader copy (ARC) was provided by the author.
Reckless Love is the third novel in Willow Aster's The Single Dad Playbook football romance series, and we've got ourselves a friends-to-lovers romance between longtime besties Elle Benton and Rhodes Archer. These two have known and considered each other best friends since they were eighteen and in their freshman year in college, but in those thirteen years, this could be the first time that Elle and Rhodes have had as much tension straining their friendship ever, no thanks to the fact that they now work for the same organization. Rhodes is the tight end with the Colorado Mustangs; Elle is the cheerleader for the very same football team--and there is absolutely no fraternization allowed, a rule that cheerleading director has pointedly reminded Elle. She knows keeping her distance is hurting Rhodes as much as it's hurting her, plus Rhodes's four-year-old son, Levi, is her godson and staying away from that sweet boy is unbearable. Crossing the line would be reckless, but maybe it would be worth it all for love.
Elle and Rhodes's happily-ever-after was thirteen years in the making, and goodness, I was amazed at how these two resisted the not-so-platonic pull between them. I understood the whole no-fraternization rule that was being placed upon Elle (and the rest of the cheerleading team). I don't think it was also a choice between being with Rhodes (and Levi and the mutual friends she shared with her bestie) and her love of cheer and dance. The latter was one of her dreams and she got to experience the reality of it, but I know she would have come to the realization that when everything was said and done, her future would be with Rhodes and Levi. Speaking of Rhodes, talk about swoony, but I guess that's all par for the course when it comes to the men of the Single Dad Players. Having everything finally fall into place and come together for Elle and Rhodes was oh-so-satisfying, and I can't wait to see what awaits the last--and more recent--members of the Single Dad Players in the Single Dad Playbook series. Five stars for Reckless Love.
