About this listen

Jake’s my best friend and first love. There’s just one problem—he belongs to my sister.

I’ve been crushing on Jake for years but never had the guts to tell him. One drunken night with my sister and two pink lines later, and he’s lost to me forever.

She doesn’t care that I met Jake Ramirez first. That he and I were best friends first. That I fell in love with him first. Because what my sister wants, my sister gets.

When she video-calls me and Jake accidentally walks by in the buff, something in me snaps.

Transferring to a different college might seem like a copout, but I have to get away from Jake and my sister before I say or do something I’ll regret. In an act of desperation, I ghost my old life.

For the next two years, everything is great—until I come face-to-face with Jake and his son, who my sister abandoned.

Jake’s the new wide receiver at my school, and he wants nothing to do with me, which is fine because I plan to keep my distance. Except we’re thrown together in the most dire circumstances that bring back all those old feelings.

They say everyone deserves a second chance, but my heart can’t handle breaking one more time.

Second Down Darling is an angsty friends-to-lovers forbidden romance featuring a sexy single dad who’s a down-and-out college football player and a nerdy girl determined to overcome her wallflower ways. It has major second-chance vibes and lots of steam! Second Down Darling is a dual POV stand-alone in the USA Today best-selling series Varsity Dads.

Love them

I really love this series. Each book gets better and better. I love Charlie and Jake so much. The story was really good, the love, the passion, all the attraction… I really love reading this one. Can’t wait to read the next one. The narrator’s performance was excellent. The Spanish words are pantymelting love Timothy voice. Sarah did an amazing job too.

Love this series

All the books in this series are so sweet with just enough angst to keep things interesting.

Cannot wait for the next book to come out.

The narrators were good. New to me and enjoyed how they brought Jake and charlotte to life.

Jake + Charlotte = 🫶🏼

Tropes:
Childhood friends to 🖤
Sisters ex
Single dad
College football romance

“Anyway, the reason I brought this up is because a lot of times, a quarterback will test the waters on the first down. He’ll see what the defense brings to the table. He’s not really gunning for a touchdown yet. He’s warming up and getting a feel for the other team, but on the second down, he’s serious. He’s looking for the big play.” Billy points at me. “You’re the big play. You’re the second down.”

Charlie and Jake

I loved reading this. It was my favorite from this series. And loved listening to it too. The Texas accent was hilarious. I laughed so hard with Billy. Charlie and Jake really deserve their happy ending. This series is amazing!!!!!

So So Amazing

what happens when the person you want most doesn't seem to want you back. There are so many twists and turns in this story you won't want to put it down. I have read this story in the past.But the narration gives a whole new dimension that will have you coming back to it again and again

Not a good listen

I really love Lex Martin but this story was really not to my taste. I didn’t like the male narrator either.
