Pass Rush by Erin Mackenzie (Out of Bounds Book 4)

Liam Evans always gets what he wants. Or so it seems.

Quarterback for the Knights and a personality able to charm anyone–he’s never had much to complain about. But it’s easy to hide behind an infectious smile and witty sense of humor masking sleepless nights and unhealed generational trauma. Bad days aren’t allowed and feelings aren’t meant to be expressed–at least that’s what he’s always been told.

The one feeling Liam never has trouble expressing though? His long time crush on the Knights sideline reporter, Demi Sanchez.

She’s confident, independent and has worked hard in the world of sports, with more goals still to be met. But when her world flips upside down and her divorce is finalized, she finds unexpected peace and comfort with the hot shot quarterback when their personal lives intertwine. Causing her to question everything she thought she knew.
Will Liam’s shiny personality be the spark that Demi needs again in her life? And will Demi’s ability to weather storms help Liam see that showing vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness?

Maybe they’re exactly what each other needs.

I am so sad that the Out of Bounds series has come to a close. The first book Line of Scrimmage was my first ARC ever & since reading that I’ve been an Erin fan for life!

I loved getting to know Demi & Liam on a new level. They have such a beautiful story & I liked how we got to see the progression of their friendship & his obsession with her.. everything fell into place & so much of it made sense after getting the progression of their relationship over the years.

I’ve wanted Liam’s story from the beginning & I really loved him so much more after reading this book. So many times I just wanted to give him a hug when he battled his inner trauma from his dad & him thinking he always needed to be the happy, go lucky guy when there was things he was hurting with inside. I loved his group text with the other girls in their group (who we’ve met in the past books in this series).

Demi is such a baddie. I feel like that is such a good word to describe her. She is finding her feet again after a divorce. Trying to find her own happiness, realize that she does & SHOULD get certain things in life — she deserves so much & its wonderful when she realizes she does in fact deserve it!

A wonderful slow burn & Liam giving Demi all the time she needed was really great to see. I feel we don’t see that a lot in books. Forever love the found family in this book because I honestly have so many friends that I’m closer with than my own family & sometimes that’s just how it works out — love that Erin created that in this book.

I forever will say read this series by Erin & enjoy all the wonderful different stories of the characters that I will always remember!
