The Fouls We Make

Braysen U, Book 3

By: Brooke O'Brien

Narrated by: Lee Samuels, Stefanie Kay

A close proximity, friends-to-lovers, sports romance by Brooke O'Brien about a woman who has sworn off dating football players and an all-star running back determined to win her heart and break her rules.

I've sworn off dating football players. After my last relationship ended disastrously, I've given up on love entirely.

Determined to start over fresh, somewhere far from Rixton, Tennessee, I impulsively transferred to Braysen University. The Carver twins were like brothers to me growing up. So, when they offer me a place to live until a dorm room frees up, I accept.

Reed Hendrix is as irresistible as he is off-limits. Sleeping in the room next to him could complicate things. Not only because my brother warned Reed to stay away from me but also because falling for him would break my own rule.

Yet it's unnerving how quickly I find myself giving in to my feelings for him. Before I know it, we're stealing glances and sneaking around, dangerously toeing the line between flirting and fooling around.

The more I unravel at the hands of Reed, the harder it is to resist falling for him. When my past catches up with me, it's more than my heart on the line.

They say some rules are meant to be broken.

When secrets are revealed, I can only hope my heart isn't left broken too.

The Fouls We Make is a friends-to-lovers, close proximity, roommates, football, small-town, college romance. It is book three in the Braysen U series of interconnected standalones following the football players of Braysen University and the women who can't help but fall for them. They do not need to be listened to in order, but you will gain glimpses of future characters/couples in each book.

Curious about Reed's secrets

This book continues building the Braxton universe and introduces another college, creating the bridge for the next series.

Reed has been one of my favorite characters in the earlier stories in this series so I was excited for his HEA. This book does not disappoint.

The audiobook is as good as the other's but if you listen to the series back to back like I did, some of the narration of the opposite sex voices becomes tiring.
