Football Royalty (Franklin U series #8)

I've been waiting to read this series for sooooooooo long! It's been advertised in so many email newsletters, but I've tried waiting so patiently until all of/most of the series was out before I started it. The series? Franklin U. The eighth book and final book is titled "Football Royalty," and it's by Eden Finley.

["If you never fooled around with someone of the same gender, did you even go to high school?

Peyton
My whole life I’ve had the pressure of being Marcus Talon and Shane Miller’s football prodigy. I’ve been destined to follow in my NFL-playing fathers’ footsteps since the day I was born. I usually thrive under pressure, but as senior year looms, it all gets too much, and I need an outlet. The last place I thought I’d find my release is at Levi Vanderbilt’s graduation party. In his bed. With him.
It’s a one-time thing. An experimentation. And while it was fun, we agree that being with guys isn’t for either of us. I’m happy to accept that until he turns up in California.
I haven’t had to think about him for four years, but now I can’t get him out of my head.

Levi
Coming to Franklin University for grad school to follow a boy I hooked up with once is the stupidest thing I could have done.
We said that high school didn’t mean anything, but the truth is, that night made me realize who I truly am, and since then, I’ve been trying to find that sense of freedom again.
I’m hoping it can be with him, but everything I’ve heard around campus points to Peyton not having the same life-changing revelation I did.
And if that’s the case, did I just move across the country for a straight guy?
Kill me now."]

If you read the previous book in the series, you have a pretty good idea that things...go pretty well for Peyton and Levi. But did anyone know it would be this good?!?! (We should have really figured though; Eden is a fucking boss).

The pining and the fluff and the sweet words and the dedication and ALL THE FEELS D: 

PSA: Marcus Talon and Shane Miller's names sound familiar because they're from Eden's 2019 novel "Blindsided" (from her Fake Boyfriend series).
