One boy. One girl. Two feuding towns.

MAEVE

I've heard a lot of things about Alleghany’s quarterback. Weston Cole is popular, conceited, and arrogant. Most importantly, he’s spent the past three years steadily dismantling my family’s football legacy. I should hate him. And I did. Until I met him freshman year and discovered he’s also complicated. Considerate. Captivating. When our paths cross again senior year, that awareness becomes more dangerous than his suggestive smirk. Hating him was easy…before I knew him.

WESTON

No girl in Glenmont is more untouchable than Maeve Stevens. She lives across enemy lines. Her father is their head football coach. Her twin brother is their quarterback. But one conversation with Maeve makes me forget about the bitter, decades-long rivalry between our two towns. Makes me forget there’s a team of guys relying on me to lead them to another victory. A few forbidden kisses, and there’s only one thing I want to fight for. Her.

    I usually don't like reading high school stories. But this one was great. It was tasteful and real life. I loved the rivalry between the two towns. I loved how Maeve took a chances to try something new and out of the norm for her character. Weston's character was great too. This was a great love story and was just right! I loved it.

    I’m not always big on high school love stories but this was so well done. I adored Wes and Maeve and how they could open up and be themselves together. I thought the development of them meeting to becoming more was spot on in believability and they worked so well together. This was exactly the story I needed right now!

    I liked this story but didn’t love it. The concept was so cute and the characters and story were so well done, I just didn’t like the age they were. I think this rating will be deceptive for some so I hope you read it before deciding not to read it. They are in high school and being older now, it just doesn’t feel as deep when it is a younger book. I think it would be perfect for someone who is either younger themselves or needing a break from the more adult books. The spice is 0. There is a fade to black so it’s definitely cleaner than 100% of the books I have been reading recently but was good enough that I didn’t DNF it. I love this authors storytelling so I really didn’t notice how not spicy it was until just now!

    ***Potential spoilers***

    Maeve Stephens is the daughter of the high school head football coach and the sister of Liam who is the QB in Glenmont.

    Weston Cole is the QB in Alleghany and also Maeve's brothers biggest rival.

    They're enemies because of where they live and who they are, but will they find out there is more to life than a town rivalry?

    This book is overlooked because its a High school romance, but as someone who grew up in a small town Kiss now lie later is full of sweet moments and funny banter between the main characters.

    I really loved reading this. I’m not usually a fan of reading teen romance but rather enjoy watching about it, but I had this book on my tbr list so I took a chance. I really loved this one. It was a fresh take on forbidden love trope. I loved that the female was a strong one and the male lead loved and respected that about her. There isn’t much spice, but a little for the romance and it suited the story nicely.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great 5 Star Story! (Spoiler at end of review)
    Reviewed in Canada on February 28, 2023

    CW Farnsworth has the ability to write a book that you feel like you’re walking along with the characters.

    I felt the surroundings. The log they sat on. The fire in the wood stove in the cabin. The bleachers filled with the soccer and football fans.

    The author also conveyed the emotions of her characters so well. Not just the main (Maeve and Wes), but her secondary characters (their families and friends) too.

    I could envision the two towns with their lives lead by this age old feud and how Maeve and Wes felt drawn to each other, but conflicted by the rivalry that wouldn’t support them. Their love was stronger - thank goodness.

    A rivalidade entre as duas cidades foi estabelecida de um jeito que dá pra entender o porquê de ser algo difícil de combater e ao mesmo tempo uma coisa boba de existir. O relacionamento dos pais de cada um reflete muito bem o desenvolvimento e atitudes dos personagens principais, e eu me identifiquei bastante entre o relacionamento a Maeve e do Liam, e como é bem real o questionamento dela sobre como a felicidade dela preocupa sua relação com o irmão. Os personagens que agiram como conflito amoroso entre eles também foi muito bem desenvolvido e não pareceu uma "encheção" de salsicha como geralmente é em histórias assim.
    Muito ansiosa em ler mais sobre esses dois!!!

    Maeve is a star football player for her high school and Wes is a quarterback playing for a rival school. The two schools never mix and so their story is more like a Romeo and Juliet scenario. They meet each other after a party in another town. It was two years later when they meet again and its the start of a secret romance not only because of the schools rivalry but also her brother is a quarterback player and her father is their coach. When someone makes a play for Maeve, Wes is angry and tells her they are finished. As its all been in secret its a shock when Maeve makes a stand for him at the final game. Enjoyed.
