Catching feelings was never part of the plan.


Taking in Kason Fuller as roommate is meant to be a favor;
one I regret immediately.
The bumbling, virgin football player drives me to the brink of sanity,
stealing my food, my sleep, my peace and solitude.
My solution? Call a ceasefire.
Get him out on dates and out of my hair.
Yet as our truce shifts,
I realize there's a depth to this connection unlike any I've felt before.
It turns out, I don't mind his presence.
I crave it, along with every morsel I learn about him.
But falling for the guy from the wrong side of the tracks wasn't in the cards.
And I'm not the only one who thinks so.
Now, I'm at a crossroads between the life I thought I'd have,
or risking everything to catch him.
*Fair Catch is the third in a five book standalone college sports romance series featuring one extremely *frustrated* virgin, flirtatious roomie dates, and a not-so-sanitary use of butter that will have you clutching your pearls. Not suitable for anyone under 18 years of age.*

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite of the series so far!

This book. I have been WAITING for this book and omg did it exceed all my expectations. Hayes and Kason are my favorite couple from the Leighton U universe, and that is something I did NOT expect because I wasn’t a huge Kason fan in Caught Stealing. But this book? This book flipped my whole world because their love story was so beautiful and funny and genuine. And Hayes being a nerd???? SOLD. IMMEDIATELY. I think it added so much personality to their dynamic and their relationship in general, and Jason being the sweet southern boy from humbler beginnings? He stole my entire heart and I never want it back. But I have to say, not only was the love just making me smile like a fool and kicking my feet, but the portrayal of friendship in this one was EVERYTHING. The way their friends were there for them every step of the way? And the care they showed in wanting to make sure everything was okay? I couldn’t stand it because it was so sweet. Fair Catch made me smile. Laugh. Cry. Angry. And I loved every second of it.

I loved the third installment of the Leighton U series! I was so excited for Kason and Hayes's story, and it didn't disappoint. This is a roommates book, but they really dislike each other from the get go. However, they find some common ground and begin to get along, and it was interesting and fun to see them go from not liking each other, to becoming friends, to eventually becoming something more. This was quite low angst with nothing much at stake (until the third act breakup, I suppose) but it was hot and sweet at the same time. I definitely enjoyed this book and am looking forward to Theo and Madden's book!

Kason was a thorn in my side for much of Holden and Nix's book, so I wasn't sure what to expect going in. He actually grew on me quite a bit in his story. I think I was just able to see his perspective a lot clearer. He still made errors, but he was much more thoughtful and aware of the feelings of others. Hayes was a grump that I was eager to know better. He lived up to all my expectations. These two may have started out rocky, but they sure developed a beautiful connection. They are so perfect for each other in so many ways. I loved their story, and while I hated their time apart, I understood the reasoning. I am anxiously awaiting Theo and Madden. Step Bros are always fun.

Book 3 in the Leighton U series, and much like the rest of this series, this book does not disappoint!! After reading caught stealing, I have been ready for Kason to find the happiness he deserves.

I loved seeing Hayes and Kason’s relationship develop from roommates to friends to lovers with all of the moments that led up to each step as they bonded over scary movies and then Hayes’s jealousy. Banter is always important in a story and let me tell you, this book did not miss!

These two really pulled on my heartstrings. I loved them so much, they were so soft for each other and it was so sweet. A virgin mc with so much to learn and a partner willing to give him all his lessons, what’s not to love? The demisexual rep was fantastic, it’s something that is not talked about enough in romance books and CE Ricci did an excellent job of making sure the reader understands what being demisexual means for Hayes.

Definitely on the lower end of the angst scale for a CE Ricci book but I loved it all the same. I am so excited for the rest of this series!

I absolutely love this series. These books just suck you right in! Hayes and Kason were absolutely no exception. I loved their bickering and bantering and the fun hang outs. Watching these two bond and then light up the pages was so entertaining. These two were so opposite to each other, but their friendship and then relationship was exactly what the other needed. I loved how supportive Hayes was when Kason opened up to him and how they bonded over horror movies, popcorn, and reeses pieces. Absolutely adorable. The book made me laugh and swoon over and over, and I can't wait for the rest of the series! I'm absolutely feral waiting for it!
