Offsides (Marycliff Football Book 5) Kindle Edition

4.3 out of 5 stars 331 ratings

Friends become lovers in this sweet and sexy sports romance.

I messed up. Big time.

I kissed my best friend.

And it was the best kiss of my life.

I've been in love with Dani for ... I don't even know when it happened to be honest. We met freshman year and started working out together. Working out buddies turned to friendship, which led to feelings. At least for me.

But she's been hung up on another guy. At least until this Christmas break ...

I find her singing out her heartbreak at a karaoke bar, and all I want to do is comfort her.

Which apparently means my lips comforting hers.

But she freaks, and now I don't know what to do. If I make the wrong move, I'll lose my best friend and the love of my life in one fell swoop.

No pressure, though, right?

Offsides is a standalone best friends to lovers sports romance that'll hit you in all the feels. HEA guaranteed!

    I loved the glow-up of the tomboy aspect of this! Dani has been in a relationship for most of the time Eli has known her. Even though he's always been interested in more, he knows she's not. Until she breaks up with her boyfriend. It's now or never!!

    Dani had some emotional trauma that she had to work through before she could grasp that Eli liked her for who she is. Whether she's dolled up, or dressed for the gym. I loved this sweet and spicy storyline!

    "She’s literally the perfect woman."

    Dani and Eli were a match made in best friend heaven...well, once Eli stopped being an idiot and Dani finally noticed what was in front of her.
    I do have to give Eli credit though, his grovelling was ON POINT. Not only that, but he really stepped up. Showed Dani how she should be treated.

    "This Dani with the ponytail, no makeup, workout clothes, and a fierce expression on her face is the girl I’m used to. The one I fell in love with."

    I really liked that Dani was going out of her comfort zone, and trying new things. It definitely made everyone stop and take notice of her. I also enjoyed that she was willing to protect Eli, even if he didn't really need it.

    It feels like forever that I have been waiting for their book and it did not disappoint.
    Full of angst and uncertainty, as well as good friends and fun, it was possibly my favourite book of the series.

    ——————————————————

    These are my honest thoughts for this book.

    Eli was the saving grace of this story - he is the reason the story got 3 stars. He wasn’t perfect, but he owned his mistakes. He wore his heart on his sleeve. I didn’t like how the other characters treated him. They were all kind of quick to place all of the blame on him and insinuate he was a horrible person (Autumn and Jackson being the worst ones). Again, he wasn’t perfect, but these were supposed to be his “friends”.

    I didn’t like Dani at all. Not one bit. I guess I’ll just start with my main issue which was being unable to connect with her. She didn’t come across as genuine or consistent with her feelings. It made it hard for me, personally, to connect or understand her and her thoughts/actions. I’ll leave it at that.

    Their relationship felt incredibly one-sided to me (aka all on Eli’s side). But this may just be because of my disconnect with Dani. Because of that, I couldn’t connect with them as couple.

    Dani and Eli have been close friends for quite some time. All of that time, she's had an on again, off again boyfriend back home. Eli always had feelings for her but could never act on them so they stayed friends. When they are finally both single, Eli shoots his shot but things don't go quite the way he hoped. Dani and Eli had a rocky start after that, but when they make their way back to each other its really something special.

    Offsides by Jerica MacMillan is a sweet and steamy friends to lovers college sport romance. Eli and Dani’s story takes place off season, so there’s not much football going on, but that’s ok. Dani and Eli have so much in common, I didn’t really miss the football sports aspect of this series.
    Dani is fit and enjoys working out, lifting weights and the like. As Eli and Dani are best friends, they often work out together in addition to other friend-like activities. The real conundrum is that Eli is completely in love with Dani and she has been stuck in an on again off again relationship with her high school boyfriend.
    This book is emotionally action-packed, along with tons of self talk. Eli moves too fast when Dani is finally free, just as she starts to spread her girly wings with the help of her roommates. Just as Dani is confused and worried about Eli’s sudden interest, Eli worries about his foul with the only girl he’s ever really wanted. The angst of anger is interspersed with sadness and Dani coming to terms with her unhealthy relationship with not only the ex-boyfriend, but her dad too. Eli is steady and understanding and eventually clearly communicating, allowing their deeply abiding friendship to blend into sweet and steamy love.
    Overall, I really enjoyed this emotional exploration of Dani and Eli. And I especially adore Eli for not giving up or giving in, persevering in preserving their friendship and ultimately their forever love too.
    I read an ARC of this book via Grey’s Promotions and voluntarily share my review.

    Dani and Eli have been best friend since freshman year, and he loves her, but she is caught up in her on again/ off again relationship with her high school boyfriend. When Dani comes to the realisation that her relationship with her boyfriend is toxic, lines are crosses when she and Eli go out one night, to a karaoke bar. Can these two move on from friends / lovers? This is a well written story which is sweet, with undeniable chemistry, friendships, emotions, angst, family, action, and love, which leads to an entertaining and steamy page turner. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

    Absolutely loved this. I knew to expect good things from the author for her previous books and I was not left disappointed. It was so good to finally see Dani and Eli get their story. Some mixed signals and lack of communication led to such a good HEA for these two. It was really lovely to read their story because I have been rooting for them for so long. I can't wait to see what the author comes up with next.
