USA Today bestselling author Lex Martin delivers a swoony, single dad romance about a college football player and the fake girlfriend he knows he should resist.

Football is the sole focus of my life—until a squawking baby girl, with a temper to rival my own, lands in my lap and flips my life upside down. I’ll never be Dad of the Year. Anyone will tell you that—except maybe Sienna, my sister’s beautiful former roommate, who somehow manages to make my broody ass laugh and sees something in me no one else does.

When Sienna offers to let me and my little princess move in with her, I’m not sure if it’s to help or because she wants revenge on my teammate and long-time rival, who broke her heart. Either way, I’m game, because I need to get my ex off my back, and Sienna doesn’t mind pretending to be my girlfriend.

Only neither of us is ready for the sexual tension that builds and the sparks that fly between us… or the consequences when they do.
* * *
Tight Ends & Tiaras is a spicy, standalone college sports romance about a grumpy football player who didn’t know he was a dad, a free-spirited, sassy Latina with a secret past, a sexy trip to the lake, and a guaranteed HEA. Tight Ends is perfect for readers who enjoy steamy, opposites attract, small town, slow burn romances with lots of angst, humor, and heart!

“There is a certain massage scene at the cabin that you don’t want to miss! HOT DANG!!! Rub me down with oil Ben, I can take it.” - Reader Review

Feel good read!

Reviewed in Australia on 3 January 2023

A small town, sports romance, fake dating wonder, full of wholesome goodness!

When I'm really enjoying a book I feel myself connect with the characters and Ben and Sienna felt like people I really knew! I loved how Sienna's light and realistic attitude paired with ben's grumpy, 'working on himself' character.

This has all the swoony moments, frustrations and one sweet little baby girl! It can be read as a standalone, but I highly recommend reading the first install in the series, 'The Varsity Dad Dilemma'.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Ben and Sienna's story was super enjoyable, just like others in the series. The stories all had the relatively same formula but I loved them., This auth write what I call "no rocket science romance". Her stories are not complicated and has the romance and spice I am looking for.

Reviewed in Australia on 5 July 2022

Such a great, great story. It has something for everyone for sure. But what I liked most about this book besides the whole romance part was how after the massive shock of being told he is a father, Ben really stood up to the plate and became the best dad he could possibly be. Having Sienna be there to support him and basically be his rock made this story all the more special.
What starts off as a slow burn due to the fake relationship that Ben & Sienna have both agreed to, once these two decide to actually date for real I felt the story really took off from there. They have so many similarities and differences as well, but when they are together they are almost perfect.
Loved the little bit of suspense and/or drama to this story that featured Janelle. I thought it added an extra dimension to the book that I wasn't necessarily expected but absolutely loved reading nonetheless. I haven't read the first book in this series, but when I have time I definitely will. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced readers copy of this book

Solid 4 stars. Ben and Sienna were great read. Both had their own drama to deal with but they worked together so well.

I was worried Sienna would be too meek at first but I was gladly wrong about that - throwing gear out into the snow was a boss move. I loved that she stood up for herself and what she needed.

Ben was swoony, vulnerable and had an alpha air about him - plus his interactions with his daughter was too cute!

If you love college sports romance stop and read this, it's that great.

Ben and his sunshine Sienna are a perfect match. She is the positive outlook that gives him balance and steady him. He gives her the love and makes her feel safe.

The love and respect for one another is special and to know that they will be there for one another is just perfection.

Makes you feel warm and fuzzy all over.

This Book Was Fantastic!

OMG! Sienna and Ben's story was fantastic! I LOVED them sooooo much! I was instantly addicted to their every interaction full of sparks. The story started with them being friends, than a fake couple and their feelings developed so beautifully and effortlessly. This fake dating college sports romance was such a great addition to the Varsity Dads Series!

Ben was utterly amazing! I liked discovering more about the guy after meeting him in The Varsity Dad Dilemma. It was interesting to know more about the reason behind his tense relationship with his older sister, Gabby. Sienna being Gabby's best friend was just the missing link to help mend the brother-sister relationship. That heroine was just so real and kind. Despite her privileged upbringing, she was down to earth and only seeking the simple things in life. Ben brought her joy and their perfect chemistry was just irresistible.

When Ben unexpectedly discovered he's a father, he was ready to face this new challenge. Sienna was there to support him and I felt this was the event that made them grow closer. They were both so good to his little girl and accepted her so easily. The moments shared with these three as a little family were just bursting with sweetness.

All the scenes with Ben's teammates/roommates were highly entertaining. Those guy were so funny and made me laugh with all their antics! It was also nice to get more of Gabby and Kingston. Tight Ends & Tiaras was a swoon worthy read that left be completely captured! I can't wait for the next sexy football player in this series to get his own book!

I found book 3 by accident first, so didn't end up reading these in order. This has to be my favourite so far! Heat, romance and moments that will make you cry! I'd give it more stars if I could!

What a great story of Ben and Sienna! A must read and while it’s part of the series can be read as a standalone. Sienna finds her boyfriend with several women in his bed and things get ugly from there. Thankfully Ben her best friends brother who really likes Sienna is there to help her get through her breakup. However Ben finds he needs Sienna more than she really needs him. He finds an ex reappear with surprise package and makes a mess for him and Sienna. These two are great book couple!

I absolutely loved this book! Lex Martin always managed to give us the perfect amount of angst that keeps me flipping pages to see what happens next! I couldn't put this book down once I started and finished it in just a couple hours.

The chemistry between Ben and Sienna jumped off the page. These two were perfect for each other. Ben was swoony, grumpy and romantic and Sienna was everything Ben needed in his life.

I love sports romance and the fake relationship trope and it was fine very well in this book.

This book will be at the top of my regular rereads list.

I loved the Varsity Dad Dilemma by Lex Martin and was really looking forward to this book and it was everything I was hoping for and more. I can't wait to see what comes next!
