Eli Bennett. 

Quarterback at our biggest rival high school.

My brother’s worst enemy. 

So why can’t I stop thinking about him? 

For one, he’s totally gorgeous and boy, does he know it. He’s an arrogant trash talker who brings drama wherever he goes. 

And for some reason, he’s set his sights on me. 

The more I get to know him, the more I realize he’s actually kind of...sweet. Deep down, he’s broken. Hurting. He’s dealing with a lot, but he also puts on a major front so no one can tell. I want to be there for him. I want to be with him. But because everyone in my life hates Eli, we have to keep our relationship a secret. 

The problem with secrets is they never stay secret for long...

WARNING REVIEW WRITTEN DURING READING SPOILERS MAY BE AHEAD 

December 3rd, 2020 

Okay So I started reading the first page and it immediately caught my attention and made me want to read more. It starts with Eli and it two years earlier. I liked him on the spot. I just liked the way he seemed very clear of his path and what he wanted. One thing I didn't like is he was talking trash about Jake but I already expected that since I read Jake's book. 

My thoughts on Ava are her and I think the same. So far I have agreed with a lot of what she thinks. Mostly when she started saying girls play football too and girls are tougher than people think. I have talked about gender equality for so long now and it's something very important to me. I think girls should have more recognition and praise for playing sports like football because girls can play those sports too. 

Okay, I don't know why but now I don't feel good with the way Eli is phrasing his intentions with Ava. I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt but it's a bit hard when he says it's a game. And a game he thinks would be fun is how fast can I get Ave Callahan to fall in love with me? I don't like how he said that, at all. It gives me a bad feeling. But I chose to be cautious and aware. But I'm not choosing to trust him, yet. Maybe later but I just can't right now. Saying it would be a fun game doesn't make me feel good, gives me a sour feeling in my stomach. 

Ugh! Ava thinks so much like me! I love it! I always think of romance and I totally think the same way as her. But she's the only one of the two of us that it will actually happen for. Guys that treat you like a princess and fall completely in love with you are very rare in this world. I've never had good luck so I won't be one of the lucky ones. Kinda sad but I wish I could be. Ava, I shall live viciously through you. I seriously love her! I read romance novels too!! 

Okay, now I don't know what to think. I'm so confused but he seems genuinely interested in her. Not just to piss off Jake. I think it's funny how he keeps saying he's in love. Clearly, he doesn't mean it but I think it's funny because it's always after she yells at him or something. Hilarious. 

Rule #1 
Never promise someone that you won't hurt them because that's a big ass lie even if you didn't mean to. The saying is, promises are made to be broken. 

The thing here is I totally see this guy is broken and he puts on an act in front of everyone but when you see the read him you see he's so sweet and caring. He knows they belong together and I love that. I'm so used to the guys being scared of commitment and being so indecisive when it comes to the girl. I love that he's so sure and he knows what he wants from her. He wants everything. 

okay, it's been hours since I last updated but I was eating and doing some work and then finally read some more. 

Everything is good right now. Things are going well between them and I'm done with more than half of the book. I know that there is a second book and I plan to read it right after this one. I'm really enjoying this book and if they keep this up it's probably going to be 4 stars. Depending on the ending of the book. I like it so far. Plus I already read Jake's book and I enjoyed that one too! 

Okay, I got a good night's sleep and now I'm almost done with the book. 

I remember reading Jake's book and kinda hated Eli and I hated the videos he made and how he would threaten Jake. Now when I saw the most recent video he made it literally made me smile. Like what the heck? What's wrong with me? It's actually funny to me. when I was reading Falling for him I wondered how Ava even allowed that to happen! How was she okay with it? Now I know but I already assumed she wasn't okay with it. That it was all him. 

Oh no! Jake figured it out! He's really mad! I now agree with Ava, her relationship with Eli has nothing to do with Jake. 

Omg, I finished it!! How does Jake know about Eli's parents???? I'm so confused!!!!! I'm reading the next one immediately!!!

This book was really long but I enjoyed it a lot. I wanted to read about Ava and Eli’s story since the previous book and damn it was good. 

With the rest of the people Eli seemed tough and badass but with Ava he was sweet and caring, even though he always wanted Jake to hate him with the stories he posted. But from the beginning I knew he cared about Ava and that it was hard to come out to her parents because of the rivalry between him and Jake. 

Ava was sweet too, she never felt important enough on her own but she did a lot of good things and she was very nice with the rest so she was really awesome.

I thought the next book was going to be about their brother Beck but I’m glad to get more of Ava and Eli and see how they’re going to get their HEA.
