The End Zone

By: L.J. Shen

Narrated by: Tessa Ellory, Joe Arden

Jolie Louis is a smart girl. She knows that her best friend, Sage Poirier, is a bad idea. He's a walking, talking cliché. The Adonis quarterback with the bulging biceps and harem of fangirls trailing behind him on campus like a stench you can't get rid of. Sadly, that's also the reason she can't stay away from him. Well, that and the fact that they're roommates.

Jolie is already straddling the line between friendship and more when Sage comes to her with an offer she cannot refuse: Be his fake girlfriend and live for free for the rest of the semester. She tells herself that she can handle it. He's just the boy she saved 10 years ago, right? Wrong. So very wrong. He is a man now, and she is his captive, heart, body, and soul....

It was good

I liked both Jo and Sage
They’re characters were like able and believable. The story was good. No wholes. Pacing was consistent. I’m not sure why I didn’t LOVE this one as I do with most everything LJ Shen writes but The Endzone was just good for me.

Sweet

Loved both the narrators. So hot, just perfection! The story kept me interested and entertained. It is one I will enjoy again and again just to hear those sexy voices. Just wish the author did not make her so indecisive when she finally gets her dream. Author should have written her stronger with something else to fill pages. Wish it was longer.

such an amazing listen

i very much enjoyed this. the dynamic between the two main characters was wonderful. I found myself laughing out loud at some of their antics.

Good

This one is quick and well worth the listen! Though you're not given a lot of length with these characters, you're still given a lot of background in passing as the story progresses. It's a good friends-to-lovers story you'll be glad you tried!

Sugar Coated Confection

LJ Shen's The End Zone is nothing like her Sinners of Saint series, but it's just as delectable. Sage and Jolie have been best friends since they were ten and are now roommates as they finish their senior year of college. He's the star quarterback on the football team and primed for greatness - taking full advantage of the lifestyle afforded to him as an attractive, affluent athlete (do I sense a trend here?). All it takes is a scare, a naked collision, and some jealousy to prompt Sage into proposing they embark on a fake relationship, which swiftly leads to them fully realizing that there may be more than strictly platonic feelings between them. This was practically a sugar coated confection in comparison to LJ Shen's other tomes, and I'm all here for it! 5 out of 5 wine glasses.
