“The smile on my son’s face and the awe in his eyes when he runs into the living room makes it worth it. He’s worth every sacrifice I could ever make.”
Book: The Guy on the Left (The Underdogs #2)
Author: Kate Stewart
Genre: Contemporary, New Adult, Romance, College
Synopsis: It started with a lie. A night of blurred lines between a teacher and a student.
I wasn’t her student, yet it was the single most defining night of my life.
I’ve never been the man she thinks I am.
Most people have no idea about the life I’ve lived or the words that ring true when it comes to me—still waters run deep.
But you’d be hard-pressed to find a coed on the TGU campus who knows otherwise…because I’ve never corrected them.
The clock is ticking down, it’s Fourth and Inches with the ball inside the one-yard line and the focus is on me, The Guy on the Left. I’ve never felt like a football god, inside I’m…just Troy.
It’s time to set the record straight.
For my son, I‘ll find the strength.
In her eyes, I’m determined to gain redemption.
I will have them both, even if I have to take my eye off the ball.
All books in the series can be read as a stand-alone.
What I think about it...
The Characters
I love Dante! So smart, cute, little baby boy.
Troy, well, he’s hot and all but he’s not your typical jock. He’s determined in life. He works hard and studies hard too. He is a family guy. I love it that he loves his mom so much and he has a strong sense of responsibility when it comes to being a father. Though I kinda don’t like the fact that when he’s stressed with Clarissa, he turns to other girls for sex – I don’t like that about him.
Clarissa, on the other hand, was a strong-willed woman. I understand that Troy lied to him but he was obviously willing to be a father to their son and she didn’t give him that.
I like Parker as well. I think I’m gonna be that kind of aunt to my friends’ kids. She’s cool and is a lot of fun.
What I liked less…
I’m a sucker for love story of second chances and so I loved it. I think the one thing that I hate about this is Clarissa’s deprivation of father-son relationship to both Dante and Troy for six years. Six long years that they can never get back. Also what I don't like is they both obviously love each other but why can't they compromise and get back together?
My Verdict
I don’t know how many books are left in this series but I know is the next book is about Lance. So I recommend to read all the books because it’s all worth it!
And same as The Guy on the Right, this book’s Epilogue is so satisfying.
P.S. It also has playlist on Spotify!
MY RATING
★★★★☆
