ARC Review: The Brotherly Shove by Emily Shacklette

Publication Date: July 9, 2024

I absolutely loved the sweet friends-to-lovers arc of The Brotherly Shove!! From the very first page, Breaker is down SO bad and it is adorable to witness their progression and the happiness that follows. I loved the dual POVs and the flashbacks from the past to the present from both Breaker and Lennon’s POVs. 

One of my favorite things in this book was the warm, loving reception that Breaker and Lennon receive from their peers. From the very beginning, Breaker’s sexuality is accepted and respected as just another part of him. It was a beautiful part of their journey, and it always made me smile to read. 

There’s nothing like a football romance, and The Brotherly Shove checks all of those boxes. The world is set up so clearly and there’s so much potential for more books written in this place! And I would definitely LOVE more of Breaker and Lennon after the conclusion of this book! 

I voluntarily reviewed a free advance copy of this book provided by the author. The opinions expressed are my own.
