The Playbook by Erin MacKenzie (Book 3 in Out of Bounds Series)

Tropes- Sports Romance, Single Dad, Best Friends Brother, Childhood Friends, “We Can’t Do This Again”

Summer & Chase.

Erin’s book “Line of Scrimmage” was my first ever ARC & I loved it. So I’ll basically always apply & love her books. I love her writing style & stories. I LOVED this one between Summer & Chase. I’ve been waiting for Chase’s book since the first book to be honest. I’ll forever love a single parent book.

Summer is Abby’s best friend (we meet her in Line of Scrimmage) & Chase’s younger sister. So Summer has known Chase for a long time & has always had a lingering crush on him. Chase always gave off the “oh Summer is my sisters annoying best friend” vibe so obviously Summer never perused it plus them being in different parts of their lives.

Chase is a single dad to CeCe & I freaking love how sweet he is as a dad to her. He lives, breathes, and everything in between for CeCe & football. He never gives himself any time for himself. Chase & CeCe’s mom (who we meet in the other books) aren’t together & she isn’t in the picture so all the weight of being a parent & only provider is all on his shoulders.

Summer to the rescue essentially & Chase begins to see Summer as a woman rather than his sisters best friend. So many emotions come through in this book & I love seeing their development from friends to so much more.

I had all the feels with Summer always thinking she was “too much” because of past relationships & her starting to not see her body like she once did. I related to her a lot. It pulled at my heart.

The first 2 books are available on Amazon & Kindle Unlimited & I can’t recommend them enough before this one comes out on September 24th. This book was my favorite of the 3. I can’t wait for Liam & Demi’s story next!
