Who doesn't love an underdog story? This book has it all, a disgraced retired NFL player, smalltown outcasts, circus runaways, a high school on the verge of being closed at any minute. All combined it makes a compelling story that I couldn't put down.
This book is a 1 chili pepper on my spice rating, it is mostly fade to black scenes but there are plenty of spicy discussions and a lot of chemistry.
TW include SA off page, Childhood Trauma, and Bullying off page as well.

In this small-town, second-chance contemporary sports romance, Ella and Jake reconnect in the most unlikely of places, where their past still haunts them and their chemistry still brings them together. With Ella’s school on the brink of closure, she ropes in Jake – a retired NFL tight-end – to coach a new high school football team.

This was a very easy, dual (3rd person) POV quick read, that kept me engaged to the end, with sizzling chemistry connecting Ella and Jake through their emotional turmoils and hard times (pun not intended). I was surprised with the emotion behind this novel. All the characters were great, especially Ella’s “Aunts”, and the growth with her little brother Cam was true to life, albeit infuriating at times.

The only thing I disliked was that it seemed a little unrealistic at times. I know Ella wasn’t on social media much, but it seemed so odd that she didn’t know why Jake was retired from the NFL — surely someone would have told her something.

I would recommend this to anyone looking for a light contemporary romance with fade to black spice and some emotional depth.

2.5⭐️



No me gustó ni disfrute como se desarrolló la historia, no hay química o conexión entre los protagonistas y lo que más odie fue como se trató el tema de la prostitución.

La actitud de Ella al principio me saco de onda, pero acababa de perder a su mamá y obviamente no estaba bien.

Me desesperó que Ella no se pusiera firme con Cameron, es un adolescente y sabía perfectamente lo que estaba haciendo.

¿Se supone que la carta de Rachel es conmovedora? Porque no lo es.

I normally don’t rate books I don’t finish but this book was so awful that I needed to get my thoughts out.

First we had the no actual town name but a population. I’m not sure what the author was going for but I feel like it could’ve been explained in the actual text?

Second, Gypsy Rose? Please pick a different name. This has no creativity to it, you just chose a popular person’s name and said copy paste.

Third, there was no direction within the first two pages. I was so lost on what was happening that the words just confused me more? It seemed just like words spilled on a page that honestly made no sense.

This was my first dive into Amy Andrews' work, and I finished it in about three hours! The chemistry between the two main characters was electric, and their journey through emotional hurdles was engaging and heartfelt. Though it took a little time for me to get fully immersed, once I did, I was hooked. Amy Andrews' writing is superb, transporting me right into the story alongside the characters. A truly enjoyable read!

Spicy romance, sort of forced proximity and a little enemies to lovers but mostly a romance about 2 people who used to know each other. Good backstory to both main characters and a few twists and turns.

Look What You Made Me Do by Amy Andrews is a short romance. I finished this in about 2 hours. I liked the chemistry between the two main characters and how they worked through their emotional issues together. Not a bad read. Thank you, Netgalley and Boldwood Books for giving me the ARC in exchange for my honest review. I hope the use of "intimated" instead of "intimidated" is corrected in the final version.

This is the first book I’ve read by Amy Andrews, and although tagged as romance/erotica it falls more in the spicy romance category. Any action scenes are not too detailed, a light enough book that you can read in public without blushing too hard. Read the whole book in one day, just under 3 hours. Characters are easy to understand and the perspective switches make sense. While football is a plot point you do not need to know much about the game to understand the depth it reaches. Looking forward to trying other books by this author!

Thank you to Amy Andrews and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

i was looking forward to this book because of the title and description being full of taylor swift references! however i put this book down at about 20% i could not get into it. i just immediately did not like ella and i couldn’t read anymore. maybe i’ll try a reread when the book releases but i definitely will try another book by this author!

Author’s writing is good. The setting is great. I liked the characters back stories, instant chemistry, there was so much in between them. This is such an emotional book.

Thanks to the Publisher and Author.
