Wow!
The End Game is You is the fourth and final book in the Rixon Raiders series written by author L.A. Cotton. I just love this series, and I couldn’t wait to find out how the series ended. So, as soon as I saw the book, I dropped everything and began reading. However, I did have mixed feelings since I wasn’t ready to say goodbye to the characters.
The End Game is You is broken up into three parts. The first part focuses on Jason and Felicity, the second on Asher and Mya, and the third on Cameron and Hailee. Then after those three parts, there’s an epilogue at the end, which I got to tell you, I just absolutely loved!
The End Game is You is an amazing story that’s emotional, heartbreaking, and full of love! Not only does it have a great storyline, but the characters were so gripping. And as I read, I found myself remembering how their stories began and how far they’ve come.
The Rixon Raiders is one series that I will never forget, and I highly recommend you adding them to your TBR list!

THE TROUBLE WITH YOU
RIXON RAIDERS, #1
BY L A COTTON
June 19th, 2019
From the author of the Wicked Bay series, comes an angsty YA/NA enemies-to-lovers romance. Cocky football players, school rivalry, and the girls who get in their way. Get ready … The Raiders are coming!
Hailee Raine only has to survive one more year.
One year of life in her football obsessed town.
One year of nauseating school spirit.
Just one more year of her cruel step-brother Jason; and his cocky, arrogant, football-playing friends.
She hates them. Especially, Cameron Chase, the guy she thought was different.
Cameron Chase has the world at his feet.
He has it all; good looks, talent, and the charm to go with it.
He has colleges lined up at the door, all wanting a piece of Rixon Raiders star wide receiver.
Until something threatens everything he’s ever worked for, and only one person can quiet the war raging inside him.
But he’s supposed to hate her; his best friend’s sister.
She’s off-limits.
Untouchable.
She’s trouble with a capital T.
Then Hailee finds herself in the middle of a football prank gone wrong…
And suddenly hating each other never felt so good.

The Trouble with You is the first book in the Rixon Raiders series written by author L.A. Cotton. Each book in the series focuses on a different couple and is told in a dual POV. This story is full of angst, drama, and lots of high school pranks that go wildly out of control.
Hailee Raine is starting her senior year of high school along with her step-brother Jason Ford. Jason is the star quarterback for the Rixon Raiders, and he’s completely focused on the game and getting accepted to Penn State. Oh, and also making Hailee’s life extremely difficult.
Cameron Chase and Asher Bennet are both leaders on the football team, and they are best friends with Jason. Cameron and Asher both tend to go along with whatever scheme Jason is up to. But when the teasing goes too far, Cameron begins to question everything.
The Trouble With You was so addictive that I became completely immersed in the story. There were so many twists and turns, just couldn’t get enough of Cameron and Hailee!

September 17th, 2019
Cocky football players, school rivalry, and the girls who get in their way … The Raiders are back!
Felicity Giles has a list.
Lose her virginity.
Meet her knight-in-shining-armor and fall in love.
Have the best senior year a girl can have.
The only problem? Her knight isn’t a saint, he’s a villain, and she’s pretty sure he’ll destroy her before ever handing over a piece of his heart.
Jason Ford has a plan.
Win State and go down as one of the most successful Quarterbacks in Rixon Raider history.
Head off to college and pursue his dream of being drafted to the NFL.
Avoid the girl under his skin. Felicity Giles, his stepsister’s best friend and perpetual pain in his ass.
She’s annoying as hell.
Quirky.
She’s a game to him, nothing more.
Until his arch rival comes after him and the few people he cares about … and Felicity gets caught in the crossfire.
And suddenly hating her feels a whole lot like falling in love.
The Game You Play is the second book in the Rixon Raiders series but can be read as a standalone.

The Game You Play is the second book in the Rixon Raiders series written by author L.A. Cotton. Each book in the series tells the story of a different couple. Even though this is true, I do suggest that you read the books in order. It will give you a better foundation to appreciate and understand the backstories, which continue throughout the series.
The Game You Play tells the story of Jason Ford and Felicity Giles. Felicity is best friends with Jason’s step-sister and to say they don’t get along, is a huge understatement. Jason was not a very nice guy in the first book, The Trouble with You. So, I started reading this book with mixed feelings about him. You see, Felicity is a sweet character, and the thought of them together gave me mixed feelings. But, as I read, things started to make sense, and I also fell for Jason. Their story reminded me of magnets, as they pushed and pulled each other throughout the book.
The Game You Play was full of angst, drama, and lots of twists. I was fully absorbed in the book, needing to find out what happened next. And I cannot wait for the third book in the series, The Harder You Fall, which is expected to be published January 7th!
I definitely recommend adding this series to your TBR list!

![The Harder You Fall (Rixon Raiders Book 3) by [Cotton, L A]](https://i0.wp.com/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41yHowLITzL.jpg?resize=314%2C500&ssl=1)
Cocky football players, school rivalry, and the girls who get in their way. Get ready … The Raiders are back for one final play!
Mya Hernandez has scars.
The kind that run deep and leave marks.
Rixon is only supposed to be a temporary place to hide, but it’s quickly becoming something more.
She’s almost certain it has nothing to do with the blond-haired, blue-eyed football player who makes her laugh. Who makes her believe in fairy tales again.
Even if she knows her life is destined to be nothing more than a tragedy.
Asher Bennet has secrets.
Not the scandalous kind, but the ones that fester, slowly eating away at your soul.
On the face of it, he’s Mr Popular, always down for a party and causing a little mayhem.
But on the inside, he just wants someone to see him. Really see him. Too bad the one girl who sees past his facade has already friend-zoned him.
It’s probably for the best though.
She’s different.
A fighter.
She’s everything he wants but can never have.
Until Mya’s past and Asher’s present collide in ways neither of them saw coming.
And suddenly the thing you need most is the very thing you’re supposed to hate.
The Harder You Fall is the third book in The Rixon Raiders series. All books in this series can be read as standalones!

The Harder You Fall is the third book in the Rixon Raiders series written by author L.A. Cotton. Each book in the series tells the story of a different couple. Even though this is true, I suggest reading the books in order. This will give you a better foundation to understand and appreciate the backstories, which continue throughout the series. The Harder You Fall tells the story of Asher Bennet and Mya Hernandez, and I’ve been looking forward to reading their story for some time now!
In this story, Mya has moved to Rixon to escape a difficult past. Her two best friends (Hailee and Felicity) are dating Asher’s best friends (Cameron and Jason). They all tend to spend time together, and Asher and Mya soon begin dating. They have a strong chemistry, but her past soon comes back to haunt her. Asher’s currently dealing with some family issues, and he hasn’t informed his friends about it all. Soon Mya’s and Asher’s issues are creating havoc, but is their love for each other strong enough to handle what’s trying to pull them apart?
The Harder You Fall is full of angst, drama, and lots of twists. I was fully absorbed in their story and couldn’t turn the pages fast enough!
