Book Review • The Comeback Route by Tawdra Kandle

Tuesday, August 19, 2025




 

Synopsis 

Football is everything, but love is the only game that matters.


Twice we’ve been together, and twice we’ve nearly destroyed each other.


This is our last shot at forever—if we’re brave enough to take it.


Quinn


I thought I made the right decision—the selfless choice—but now it feels like I’ve hurt everyone, including myself. What I thought was true and solid and dependable is disappearing. I’m on my own, and I’m terrified.


Maybe it’s time to find out who I really am, even if that means running away from what I thought I needed. I can’t risk trying again with Leo until I know we have a real chance to make it, even though I can’t picture a future that doesn’t include him.


Leo


Once upon a time, not that long ago, I had just about everything I ever wanted. But if there's anything I've learned, it's that life is unpredictable. One twist can change it all, and suddenly, I'm alone. Even football, the one constant in all the insanity, somehow isn't enough anymore, because without her, everything else is empty. Meaningless.

I've got one shot left. One more chance to win her heart. We're not kids now, and I know that being good enough for Quinn isn't some game I can fake my way through. She's more than the prize; she's my reason for living. The world only makes sense when we're together.


And this time, I'm going to do whatever it takes to give us our happy ending.


(Previously published as Days of You and Me)



Review


Final book in the series and I think it took longer to get through because I remembered that it was a HEA and there was no anticipation. although I couldn't remember the details if that makes sense.

More than likely why it took me so long to finish. That being said I'm so glad that I love that I still have these tucked away in my kindle archive because I can't find them to rebuy them and that would have been the worst!

The final book follows the journey of Leo's rise on the field and Quinn's rise in life. The one where she finds herself without the others. learns to heal and how to mend the bridge romantically between her and Leo. I know they remained friends but they had one heck of a bridge to cross. I adored their coming together again. Their ending. It was finally happy.

Think my only annoyance with the book is how child like their characters remain even as adults. I mean... her mom and Shane the drycleaner. Will it ever feel right for a child to see their parent move on. But as a human we want them to be happy.  

In the end I'm glad I took a tip to Edinburgh and had the time to pick my kindle back up to finish their love story
