College Romance Book Series: Football

Here's my list of football college romance  book series

If you have any more suggestions let me know in the comments below. 

The Underdog Series by Kate Stewart

The Guy on the Right by Kate Stewart

Theo may be considered a geek since he’s in the college’s marching band, but he knows what women want. What does he want? Laney. His hot shot football roommate might also have his eye on her but he’s not going down without a fight.

This 5 star book hit so many boxes for me. It had me sighing from the sweet romantic gestures, it had me laughing out loud with its many hilarious moments, it had me fanning myself with its hot, panty melting s-e-x and overall had me rooting for Laney and Theo’s HEA in this opposites attract, new friends to lovers story.

This was the perfect kick off to a fantastic college romance book series.

The Guy on the Left by Kate Stewart

All it took was one night for Troy and Clarissa to be forever linked, but that’s not what’s supposed to happen between a teacher and student. Now Troy’s in his senior year at college and willing to do anything to get her back and to gain redemption.

There’s nothing like a little kid who melts your heart in a romance book. Dante was the highlight of this book.

On the outside Troy may be the star football player on campus but you get to see a completely different side to him in this book – as someone trying to make it for the sake of his family.

The Guy in the Middle by Kate Stewart

Lance has everything riding on his senior year football season. He needs to prove himself so he can get drafted and save his family’s ranch. The only problem is that he didn’t anticipate falling for the coach’s daughter.

This college romance book was absolutely wonderful. Stewart wrecked me with this book. My heart had all the feels after reading it that I wanted to reread it and reread it again and again. To say I consider it to be one of the best romance novels of all time is an understatement. And the book’s epilogue is the best I’ve ever read.

The Hook Up Series by Ilsa Madden-Mills

I Dare You by Ilsa Madden-Mills

Delaney has sworn sworn off football players, especially the cheating kind. When Maverick, the captain of the college’s football team finally sees his chance, he dares her to give him one night. She can’t help but accept. I love bad boy athlete – nerd girl college romance books. Especially those with girls who love Star Wars and The Princess Bride! Madden-Mills writes new adult, college romance books unlike any other and this one delivers on the dare.

I Bet You by Ilsa Madden-Mills

Golden boy quarterback of Waylon University, Ryker has had his eye on Penelope. She’s the sweet yet nerdy girl who seems to have it out for him because she can’t stand man whore jocks. But when Ryker’s college teammates set up a bet he can’t refuse, will he win or lose?

There’s something about romance books where a bet is involved. I loved the chemistry between Penelope and Ryker and devoured this book.

I Hate You by Ilsa Madden-Mills

Charisma, a senior at Waylon University, is still reeling from a humiliating and very public break up from her short time hook up, Blaze, the star football athlete who just helped his team win the national championship. Blaze, despite his actions to the contrary, wants her back – if only she’ll forgive him.

This is a book where you wish you could just jump into their world and give both main characters a big hug and never let go.

I’m not sure I’d call it an enemies to lovers story (more people with a history together that left them both raw), but it was a heartwarming journey of two people learning to trust in love and to ultimately let go of the fears holding them back from it.

A perfect, second chance college romance book worth reading.

I Promise You by Ilsa Madden-Mills

Dylan McQueen is Waylon University’s hot shot quarterback who’s just trying to make it to the NFL. He didn’t anticipate running into the quirky girl he kissed at the freshman bonfire who’s since haunted his every waking thought. She’s not his type, so why can’t he stop trying to win her?

Madden-Mills brings it again with this college football romance. Dillon is a different kind of hero – a cocky, take charge athlete but one who is shy and a bit tongue twisted around Serena. I loved that! 

Fulton U Series by Maya Hughes

The Perfect First by Maya Hughes

Persephone is a 19 year old genius about to graduate college who’s ready to check off a bunch of “firsts.” Reece, the college’s star receiver, mistakenly walks in on her interviews for candidates to “be her first” and decides to help her with her list. This is a fun, opposites attract, new adult romance with characters you can’t help but love. Seph is adorable in her quest for experience and self-discovery and Reece is the perfect friend who can’t help but fall for her and her quirks.

 

The Second We Met by Maya Hughes

Nix is a big man on campus and a football god. Too bad his neighbor didn’t get the memo. She’s nothing but a pain, calling the cops on his party, and now he’s stuck doing community service with his neighbor as his boss. I really liked Nix from the first book in this college romance series so I look forward to seeing this enemies to lovers story play out.

 

The Third Best Thing by Maya Hughes

Berk is a star football player on campus who gets a mysterious, HOT letter from an anonymous sender. He’s desperate to find the girl who’s become his new pen pal and has enlisted his sweet neighbor in his search only to find he’s falling for her. The letter Berk receives is enough to get me to want to read this college romance – the girl who wrote it does not hold back what she wants to do to him. I can’t wait to see what happens when he uncovers her identity.

The Fourth Time Charm by Maya Hughes

Why did I have to go and fall for my best friend? My coach’s daughter? And will I have to choose between my football dreams or our friendship? This is LJ’s story which looks to be a great friends to lovers romance. Add in the forbidden element in that he’s falling for the coach’s daughter and it’s going to be hot and fun!
