How hard can it be?

That was the question rolling around Larissa Mason’s mind just before she asked Hollis Hudson to be her fake boyfriend.
It was only supposed to be for five minutes, after all.
Granted, that was also before she felt his hand on the small of her back as he charmed the heck out of her family.

She hadn’t heard his laugh yet either.

And it was definitely before she saw the football god shirtless. Otherwise, she would’ve had an idea of just how hard some things could be.
It turns out that pretending to be in love with a crazily handsome, somewhat enigmatic, and absolutely unforgettable tight end (that has an amazing tight end) is easy.
Reminding herself that just because opposites attract doesn’t mean they’re forever is much harder.

What they have isn’t love—it’s a relationship pact.Right?
MY REVIEW
When Hollis steps in to help a beautiful woman save face in front of an obviously douchey ex, he never imagines how his and Larissa's lives will end up becoming so entwined.

What I love so much about The Relationship Pact is Adriana's willingness to allow her hero to be boldly vulnerable, even if he's not willing to admit just how broken he is, or how Larissa wants to be there for him. Nothing gets to me more than a man who's one thing to the outside world and quite another to those who love him. Larissa and he were perfect for each other because she saw (and loved) the real Hollis and stood steadfastly by him.

I have loved this series so far, but I think Hollis and Larissa's story is my favorite because he's so definitely a beautiful soul who deserves all the love he has, even if he doesn't see it, doesn't think he deserves it. Thank God he had Larissa because she was as beautiful a soul as he, and wasn't afraid to let him know she was there for him. OK, I'm done shedding a few tears over this heartfelt, sweet story. I only wish there were more Kings of Football coming!

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
