Second Quarter Comeback by Kendall Hale

Second Quarter Comeback
The Crawford Family Playbook #2
by Kendall Hale
Release: April 4, 2025

The universe must have a sick sense of humor.

Fourteen years ago, Killion Crawford broke my heart like it was just another move in his playbook. One minute, I was his everything; the next, he was calling an audible and choosing football over me. Fine. Whatever. I moved on, built my career, and swore off quarterbacks for good.

Now, thanks to a cruel twist of fate (or maybe just my own terrible luck), I’m living next door to him in New York. Killion, of course, is still infuriatingly charming, ridiculously good-looking, and somehow even better at worming his way under my skin than he was back in college.

He swears we have unfinished business. That we should ā€œgo for it in the second half.ā€

I swear I’m not playing this game again.

But between our accidental run-ins, our very loud balcony arguments, and the world’s most manipulative kitten (how dare he choose him over me?), avoiding Killion is all but impossible. And the worst part? I’m starting to wonder if maybe—justĀ maybe—he’s right.

Second Quarter Comeback is a swoony, hilarious second-chance romance featuring a sarcastic doctor, a cocky quarterback, and a past that refuses to stay in the locker room.

Second Quarter Comeback by Kendall Hale
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’m just gonna get this one tiny thing out of the way before I talk about this story. Most of you are not going to even care about this but it doesn’t matter if you do, because I do and it’s my experience. Camille is a grown woman, an MD and ā€œone of the most sought-after doctorsā€ in her field. DO NOT use the phrase ā€cooter coachā€ or make her online handle @The HappyHooHaCoach when talking about her career and accomplishments!! That’s just … do better. K, thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

Camille and Killian have a second chance journey that was quite simply, pretty darn perfect. I honestly couldn’t ask for a more ā€œwell playedā€, relatable, organic and just plain natural romance journey. There was no OTT dramatics nor were there adults not adulting properly. I appreciate the heck out of Kendall Hale for her writing style!

Their reconnect was both sweet and swoony and their chemistry sparked in the present just as much as the past. Their characters grew into the development of their romance, and it just felt good to read their story! I hate that I missed the first one of the series, but it’s cued as one of my next audiobooks as soon as I can! Truth be told, I’m looking forward to binging both of these stories in audio before The Final Faceoff comes out!
