Editoral Review
Judy Corry’s Her Football Star Ex is a delightful contemporary romance that explores second-chance love, forgiveness, and healing. Published on May 5, 2020, the novel has emerged as a popular pick for readers looking for heartwarming, feel-good stories that offer a respite from the anxieties of the world.
Corry has established herself as a notable writer in the genre of clean romance, and Her Football Star Ex is no exception. The novel is set in the fictional town of Maple Creek in Montana and follows the story of a young woman named Lainey Hughes, who is still reeling from her breakup with former football star, Chase Caldwell.
When Chase returns to town after a decade, Lainey must navigate her feelings for him while also dealing with the expectations of her family and the town. The novel’s central conflict revolves around Lainey’s internal struggles as she tries to reconcile her past relationship with Chase and the possibility of a future together.

Corry’s prose is engaging, and the plot moves quickly, making for an easy and enjoyable read. However, there are moments where the pacing feels rushed, and some plot points could have been given more attention.
Yet, these minor issues do not detract from the overall quality of the story. One of the book’s strengths is how it addresses themes of forgiveness and redemption, which are essential to the story’s emotional core.
Corry tackles these topics with nuance, and the message is impactful without becoming preachy or heavy-handed. For fans of clean romance novels, Her Football Star Ex is a must-read.
However, the book may come across as cliched or predictable for readers looking for more complex, layered stories. Nevertheless, Corry’s ability to create a warm and engaging world with compelling characters cannot be denied.
Overall, Her Football Star Ex by Judy Corry is an enjoyable read that offers a lovely escape into the world of clean romance. For fans of the genre, this book is a recommended pick.
It earns a solid three and a half stars out of five.
