Exes and O’s

Book #2

by Lakeshia Poole

For some the game of love and college seems rigged. After a few tough losses they resort to doing things they thought they would never do to turn their challenges into championships…

Ciara and Xander each came to Aurbor Grove University with the perfect game plan. She would score another chance at finally living up to her college dreams and the high academic expectations set by her mother. He would become the star quarterback and hometown hero he was groomed to be. Yet they find themselves entangled in drama—from the exes who refuse to live without them to the financial struggles that make it seem like college is meant only for the elite to win.

Their friendship has a rocky start, but as the semester passes along they find that their most peaceful moments are spent with each other. Will the pains of the past and pressure on the fields of love and learning squash all hope for their future?

Exes and O’s is Lakeshia Poole’s drama-filled, romantic sequel to Don’t Let Me Fall.

Reviews

[Wendy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Story revolves around Ciara and Xander, and chapters alternate between their perspectives. It's a quick enjoyable read, although some parts of side story lines seem too easily wrapped up...or even avoided a clear conclusion...for the end of the book.
