Author: Amy Andrews
Genre: Romance
Rating: ★★★★
Spice Level: 🌶️🌶️🌶️ (Open Door)
A disgraced football star,
a high school in need of saving and a reunion too hot to handle
Headteacher Ella Lucas and
football star Jake Prince have a very complicated history! Their mind-blowing
encounter two years ago is proving impossible to forget now Jake is back, in
her small town after being kicked out of the NFL.
She knew he was trouble then,
but Ella has enough on her plate without having to worry about Jake Prince. Her
school’s on the brink of closure, and she needs help. Then it dawns on her that
maybe they can benefit each other - in more ways than one! Ella will help Jake
to restore his disgraced reputation, if he can coach the football team to a
winning streak. With nothing to lose, Jake reluctantly agrees....
As the school season heats up
so does the inevitable chemistry between them. Far from being stuck in the
past, the sparks between them are still there. And although he may look like
her next mistake, Ella is determined that she will keep her hands off Mr
Anti-hero even though she has an itch longing to be scratched. Because Ella's
has one golden rule: this is strictly business, they are never ever getting
back together....
Look What You Made Me Do is the latest romance novel from author Amy Andrews. This is a quick and steamy read, perfect for fans of a good sports romance.
This is a
second-chance romance of sorts as Ella and Jake knew each other from High
School and had previously had a one night stand, so fans of that trope will
particularly enjoy this book. The couple had electric chemistry and the spicy
scenes were incredibly well written. Three words: pool table scene. I was
OBSESSED.
In addition to
the romance, this book has a whole lot of heart. Ella is a school headteacher trying
to save her school from closure. Her school is in a small town serving
disadvantaged students and to see the growth we see in the students on the
football team in particular, going from students with poor attendance and
grades to standout members of the school community, was really heartwarming.
Ella was a fantastic
protagonist who felt very real and relatable. Her passion for improving
outcomes for her school community was admirable. I also found the storyline
with Ella’s late mum to be really interesting, as was the portrayal of Ella’s
complicated grief journey following her passing. Also with his own baggage,
Jake was a brilliant MMC. He was a gentleman, even in the bedroom, and became a
brilliant role model for the young football players he was mentoring. His
backstory was really interesting and had depth to it I wasn’t expecting to see within
a romcom novel, which was a really nice addition.
Look What You
Made Me Do also has a wonderful cast of supporting characters. Ella’s brother Cameron
was one of my favourites, particularly due to his character development over
the course of the book as he finds direction in life through his newfound
passion for football and gradually starts to repair his relationship with his
sister. Seeing him find a much-needed male role model in Jake was really nice
too. There’s also a lovely found family element to the story with Ella and her
best friend Rosie finding a home and a family with Rosie’s eccentric great
aunts Daisy and Iris (who, side note, were brilliant characters in themselves).
Overall, Look
What You Made Me Do is a fantastic steamy romance which fans of a good sports
romance will devour as quickly as I did. Although this was my first time
reading anything from Amy Andrews, her writing style hooked me quickly and I
can’t wait to read more from her.
