On the Shore: A Small Town, Sports, Enemies to Lovers Romance (Cottonwood Cove Series Book 3) Kindle Edition
He’s the GOAT of the NFL. She’s a hot-headed reporter who despises him. They’re in the same small town for the summer. What could possibly go wrong?
I'm more than aware of the responsibilities that come with being a quarterback in the NFL.
The upside—I get to do what I love every day, which is play football.
And I make more money than I know what to do with.
The downside—everyone wants a piece of me, and the press stalks me ruthlessly.
And one reporter in particular, Brinkley Reynolds, has crossed a line.
She takes things too far.
So yeah, I have her escorted out of the press conference.
Imagine my surprise when the same woman walks into the coffee shop in the small town where I’ve gone to get some privacy for the summer.
I accuse her of stalking me.
She calls me every name in the book before proceeding to make me feel very unwelcome in Cottonwood Cove.
Her hometown.
The place where she tucked tail and ran after I’d unknowingly gotten her fired.
So now I’m enemy number one.
That’s fine with me.
I’m not the biggest fan of her either.
She’s equal parts stubborn and aggravating.
But she happens to be the sexiest woman I’ve ever laid eyes on.
So I try to make amends.
I’m not the devil after all.
But she won’t give me the time of day unless I agree to give her my story.
One I’ve fought hard to protect since the day I started playing professional ball.
I don’t owe Brinkley Reynolds anything.
So why am I considering giving her everything?

These two end up sharing heartfelt secrets, lots of energetic workouts and some serious chemistry and decide to jump into the deep end to see where their relationship can go and I was thrilled to be a long for the ride!
I also had the added benefit of listening to the audio version of this book and the narrators did an amazing job that absolutely added to my enjoyment of this story!
The more I read the more I fall in love with the family and extended family.
Brinkley is a spit fire in this book and I love it.
Lincoln and Brinkley are at each other with their quippy comebacks. For enemies-to-lovers, I wish it would have had more of a build up. Although the enemies aspect ware really just from Brinkley’s side as Lincoln was a goner for her early on. I loved Lincoln’s honesty about what he wanted in terms of a relationship with Brinkley.
I could have done without the introduction of the upcoming series’ characters and had more of Lincoln and Brinkley but I do appreciate those little tie-ins.
Brinkley After losing her job she goes back home. She a sport journalist and feel humiliated and embarrassed and realizes she wasn’t happy at her job because her boss was a jerk and told her to do anything to get her job right. She cared for her family and her hometown and protect the people she around.
Lincoln is a private person especially when her ex try to sell a story about Lincoln mom and he find out she cheated on him with an hockey player so when his agent send him to his home in cottonwood cove before his season begin and to think if he still want to stay in San Francisco or go to New York to play for another team especially because he team coach hasn’t been protecting his player.
The chemistry between these two characters is off the chart and there banter is so good and that when Brinkley sees a different side to Lincoln and why he is the way protective and loyal not just some grumpy jerk.
Lincoln find out about his father side of his family and the reason why he left them when he was a child and never reach out it broke my heart for him. There were some up and down especially for Brinkley because her dream job only offer her a job if Lincoln was the package and that brought her hopes down and she lose her hopes for a few days.
The story was really entertaining and love it I can wait for Finn story.

My favorite story from cottonwood cove.
I loved the independent, stubborn Brinkley and the closed off, hardworking GOAT of the NFL Lincoln who really has a heart of gold and falls hard.
All this plus the Reynolds family group chats make this another great book in the series.
I had thought Bossman was my favourite hero, but I really think Lincoln has taken his place! He was funny and snarky and oh so swoony. He fell so hard for Brinkley and was beautifully supportive of her in all ways. I loved the development of his relationship with Brinkley, it was so natural and felt genuine. I loved how upfront he was with her family, too!
Brinkley was a sassy queen, giving as much as she got and never backing down. She was fierce and independent; she knew what she wanted in her life and went out and got it for herself.
As with the other books in this series, the sibling banter and group chat is so fun, and they are so supportive of each other and you can totally feel the love they have for each other. Also loved the cameos from the Thomas sisters; so MANY babies!
Another perfect read from Laura, can’t wait for Finn’s book!
Also, the fact that both of them respected each others careers was the MOST beautiful thing EVER, it's something that I don't often encounter with and it's always pleasant to read. It was such a beautifully written story, definitely would re-read
10/10, 100% would recommend

Laura Pavlov does it again, the Cottonwood Cove series is absolutely delightful! If you read and loved her Honey Mountain series, then this is the next series for you, and if you haven’t it yet, put it on your TBR! They’re the perfect small town, steamy reads and include all the tropes throughout the series.
On the Shore is book 3 in the Cottonwood Cove series. It’s the story of Brinkley and Lincoln. Brinkley Reynolds is a sports journalist covering Lincoln Hendrix, the GOAT of the NFL, and ends up getting fired because of him. After losing her job, she returns home to Cottonwood Cove, and by coincidence, Lincoln ends up in the same town to escape the city during his offseason. Though they’re enemies to start, they quickly bond while working together, and the spice begins from there…
The chemistry between Brinkley and Lincoln is electric. Her fierce and fiery independence is the perfect match for his cocky, confident nature. The banter is excellent, as always, and my very favourite, the siblings texts, continue throughout the book! This book will have you in all the feels, as Laura always does.
Side note, the audio for this book was Fantastic. The narration by Erin Mallon and Joe Arden was amazing. 😍
