Merit

Treasure State Wildcats, Book 4

De: Devney Perry

Narrado por: Megan Wicks, Robert Hatchet

An enemies to lovers, sports romance from #1 Amazon, WSJ and USA Today bestselling author Devney Perry.

The world loves Maverick Houston. Me? I’ve hated him since we were ten.

It’s not exactly easy to escape your childhood nemesis when your parents are best friends who live on the same block. Through countless vacations, parties and holidays, Maverick and I have spent the past decade trading insults.

Until that family dinner when his mother tells us she’s dying. When she asks us to forget the past and start fresh. That’s how I found myself on a date with the Treasure State Wildcats football star. The campus playboy. The boy I kissed when I was three. The man who is the bane of my existence.

He’s arrogant. He’s blunt. He’s too handsome for his own good. But if he has a single, redeeming merit, the guy sure does love his mom. And that’s why I started fake dating Maverick Houston. That’s why I made him a proposition of my own. That’s how this sham of a relationship ruined my life.

The world loves Maverick Houston. Me? I hate that he made me love him too.

All the feelings!

What a great end to the series! This book was so emotional for me. The growth of the characters was great and I LOVED the extended epilogue!! Devney does it again!

Loved this one so much!!

This was just the right balance of sweet, spice and real life. The extended epilogue was appreciated too! One of those I wish I could read again for the first time.💖 Maverick & Stevie 🤍

SO GOOD!

Absolutely the best story in the series! Best story and satisfying Epilogue! Also - the audio was PERFECTION - both male and female. Megan Wicks is wonderful (sounds JUST LIKE Emma Stone) and her inflections are spot on. Robert Hatchet has quickly become a favorite as well. So awesome!!!

Cute story!

A little too much focus on the virginity trope but overall a solid Devney story! Love all the details she puts in to her writing! 💕✨

Have your tissues for this childhood friends to enemies to lovers with Mav and Nadine!

“Merit” 🏈 🪴 This is the 4th book in the @devneyperry Treasure Wildcats Football series and I freaking loved it! I cried (so read TWs and have tissues) but the childhood friends to enemies to fake dating to lovers was perfect! Maverick was definitely redeemed in this book from the last one, and I love that Stevie Nadine gave him sh*t right back. Read the series in order and you’ll love the cameos!

So sad to say goodbye to this series. But what I way to go. I loved seeing their relationship blossom. Wish we could have gotten a little more detailed about their past though.

5 STARS! Emotional enemies to lovers romance!

Merit by Devney Perry is an intensely emotional sports romance that delivers all the feels! This slowly burning, enemies-to-lovers story follows Maverick, the brooding college football star, and Stevie, his fiery childhood friend turned enemy, as they navigate a fake relationship that quickly turns into something achingly real. Their chemistry is electric, and the witty banter between them is both sharp and hilarious, making their journey from animosity to affection utterly captivating.

Perry masterfully builds the tension, blending steamy moments with deeply emotional layers as Maverick and Stevie confront their shared past and personal struggles. Maverick’s vulnerability and Stevie’s resilience make them a couple you can’t help but root for. The small-town setting adds charm and depth to their story, while the college football backdrop brings an exciting energy. Perry’s storytelling is exceptional, weaving together passion, humor, and heart in a way that feels authentic and unforgettable. I listened to the audiobook, and the performances delivered by Megan Wicks and Robert Hatchet were outstanding. Their natural chemistry brought these characters to life in my ear buds. Merit by Devney Perry gets 5 smooches from me!

Highly Recommend! Great conclusion to a wonderful series!

Devney Perry is easily one of my favorite authors—if she writes it, I’ll read it, and more than likely, love it. The Treasure State series has been such a joy to follow, and until Merit, I didn’t think any of the stories could top Millie and Ford’s. But Stevie and Maverick completely surprised me—I adored every twist and turn of their journey to happily ever after.

From start to finish, I was hooked, savoring every emotional moment and unexpected revelation. Merit is a perfect blend of romance, heartache, and redemption, making it a standout conclusion to an already fantastic series. While I’m sad to see Treasure State come to an end, I can’t wait to see what new romantic adventures Devney Perry has in store for her readers.

Highly recommend!
