Book Blurb:
They call him the second coming.
Of honor for British football.
Of God in an athlete’s body.
Of every English woman’s fantasy.
Jude Davies is my country’s prodigy on the pitch. More famous than the nobility in Buckingham Palace, he and his merry band of scoundrels rule the Rogue Football Academy and the London nightlife scene alike.
And now, he’s aiming his well-honed set of skills directly at me. His devilish charm is lethal, but with the tragic hand life has dealt me, distractions like him aren’t an option.
Plus, we’re only playing a game. One of convenience, where he needs me to save his reputation, and I need his money to save the one person I love.
Until he wraps me around that immoral finger.
Until I crave that reckless, wild high he provides.
Until I hope for a future that will never happen.
That’s the thing about going toe-to-toe with the next football legend. He’s faster, stronger, and will destroy me every time.

The Second Coming is the start of Carrie Aarons’ sports series and she starts it off right.
I enjoyed reading this book and getting to know these characters. Carrie does a great job of setting up the series well but also not taking away from the main two characters and their story being told.
Jude Davies is the next football legend. While he may be a great player on the pitch, he and his friends (and fellow team members) tend to find themselves causing problems, whether intentional or not. None of them are ever in need of finding a lady and they make no apologies for the wild ways.
Aria’s life revolves around one thing – being the sole income earner for her household and taking care of things. It’s not something that she complains about but it is a lot for someone her age to take on. But she does it with grace and compassion. She knows that her life does not need any distractions and tends to keep her head down.
I love that both Jude and Aria are more alike than they realize. However, they still keep the other on their toes as they get to know one another. I love their interactions and banter. While there were a few things that did bother me as I was reading, the overall vibe was still amazing.
Carrie gives us a great blend of romance with the just the right amount of humor. One thing that Carrie exceeds well at is never undermining her characters and making them act like twits when issues arise. There was one area that I felt Aria could have reacted better, I love that Jude was the one to call her out on it and fix it as soon as he could.
Overall, The Second Coming was a really good read and nice start to this series. Carrie did a good job of setting up the next book in the midst of this one so I am quite excited to read about Kingston and Poppy.
