"Owe Me One" by Kay Cove is the third installment in the "Love, Me & The 303 Series." While it can be enjoyed as a standalone, it is recommended to read it as part of the series, as the novels interweave with overlapping plots during the same timeframe.

Quinn, the workaholic of her friend group, holds the CMO position at a billion-dollar tech company founded by her father. Wrestling with personal demons from before her mother's accident three years ago, she throws herself into work until Cody Kartlin enters her life. An ex-NFL player whose career ended due to injury, Cody never expected to feel the spark of life again until he met Quinn. To prevent Quinn's overseas transfer, Cody proposes a solution: a fake marriage exploiting a company policy loophole. What was meant to be a simple arrangement becomes complicated when Cody receives a call from his NFL team, offering him a second chance at his football career, forcing him to choose between Quinn and the game.
The book explores how people react after grief, depicting Quinn's dedication to her career and her struggles with commitment. Despite her complexities, she emerges as a strong woman learning the true meaning of choosing love.
Cody, enamored by Quinn, proves to be a fun, generous, and lovable partner. Despite his own difficult past, he becomes a stabilizing force in Quinn's life. Together, they navigate challenges, and Cody's unwavering support brings out a different side of Quinn.
While the romance is sweet, I experienced moments of frustration with Quinn's reluctance to compromise in the relationship. Nevertheless, the overall story is enjoyable, and Kay Cove's writing style shines through. Despite a bit less spice compared to the previous books, the novel offers a good time for readers who appreciate Cove's work.
