BOOKWORM REVIEW: The Final Play by Amie Knight
STEAM: 🔥🔥.5
Mason and Max were thick as thieves when they were younger until an accident took their parents from them. While Mason threw himself into football, Max was not as focused, his last stunt landing him behind bars for a couple of years.
While Mason was stewing in his guilt, an unexpected visitor in the form of Glory Tolson comes knocking at his door. She is looking for Max because she is 8 months pregnant with Max's son. These two did not start off on the right foot, but Glory had no other place to go and Mason had no other family. She ends up staying at his place, but for how long? Can they keep the simmering attraction for each other at bay?
This was a wonderful, light, feel-good read. Mason and Glory may have started on the wrong foot, but both have good hearts.
Mason is a big cinnamon roll who only wants to protect and take care of everyone he cares for. While he is wary of being taken advantage of, he reads people well and sees the good in Glory.
Glory is independent and sassy. She keeps Mason on his toes, and I love that she wants to do things on her own. Her instant camaraderie with Scarlett and Hazel was just cute.
Their connection is just absolute fire. Even their bickering carries a palpable tension. This is a slow-burn read, but did Amie Knight make it worth the wait? The answer is an absolute YES.
I know sports romance stories can be a dime a dozen, but this read stood out a lot to me for all of the right reasons. It is in the middle of a series, but I was new and I never felt lost or overwhelmed. Amie Knight did a great job in providing adequate background to get newbies up to speed.

ABOUT THE BOOK
As a professional linebacker, I lived and breathed football.
The only thing I loved as much as the game was my twin brother, Max, who kept me almost as busy cleaning up his messes.
The most recent of which landed him behind bars.
So, it shouldn’t have surprised me when a beautiful woman showed up on my doorstep, claiming to be pregnant with Max’s baby.
Glory was unexpected, infuriating, and flat-out crazy most of the time.
But no matter how hard I tried to deny it, that tiny spitfire slammed into my boring life with the strength of a Category 5 hurricane, blowing through my defenses until she’d carved her name in my heart—permanently.
I feared we would never work. She was a single mom, my brother’s ex, and one more chance for me to fail yet another person I loved.
But if football was my church, then Glory was my heaven.
