Length: 4 hrs and 53 mins

Publisher's summary

Gunslinger: A quarterback who throws deep risky passes on the field and off....

I hate sports, and he is football royalty. I like quiet and predictable, but he's sex and swagger personified. I didn't particularly care for Saint Stevenson the first moment I laid eyes on him, but his warped brain seemed to process our initial meeting as foreplay.

I have a meticulous five-year plan in place for myself and my career, but now this huge, cocky, self-absorbed quarterback who I've been assigned to at work is seriously f--king it up.

He's the ultimate player on and off the field, and it doesn't make any sense that I'm falling hard and fast for the arrogant baller; but there doesn't seem to be anything about our love story that makes any sense at all.

Contains mature themes.

FMC is an uphill battle

Female narrator makes the already awful FMC even more unbearable. Whiny, inflexible, dumb… it was rough. It does get better throughout the story, but it’s a rough start.

Good but Short ...

My one and only complaint is the length of this book. Because it's short everything from the story line, getting to know your characters to their connection is very condensed kind of like Swiss cheese. It's good, compliments my sandwich but it's full of holes. Leaving this book feeling like something is missing and I am being rushed. I like Saint and would have loved to see more of his team, brother and family. Would have loved to see Sabrina outside of work. This is my first book by LLB and I like her style and wit she's talented, but I would have sat through double the listening time to spend more time with this couple.

Fun Quickie

This was such a fun story to read. I fell in love with Saint. The story was kind of rushed and there were parts that I was wondering... "HuH?" But it was really a good story, just wish there was more build up to the MC's getting together, then married...

Refreshing

The banter, the attitude, the narrators. Personally, I have a deeper, raspy voice. I've always been told I have a great raspy voice, great for radio. lol. Naturally, I disagreed. So, it's nice for a female narrator to share my tone and raspyness. I should've listened! lol. first time I've heard of her. From now on, I'm looking for her!

female narrator

Love the story but the female narrator is almost unbearable. Fortunately, the male narrator is great and I love the story.

The female narration was not my favorite

I was able to enjoy the story and listen to the whole thing, even through the female narrator was not my favorite. Her male voices were blah but I don’t expect every narrator to be able to pull off low and sexy. The sorry was sweet and funny so it kept me interested enough to finish listening. I think this same female narrator is used in the next two books in the series. I’m still going to listen because the writing was good.

Short! But loved it

This is my first book from this author and I loved it. It was short so everything felt condensed and rushed would’ve loved it longer so we could see the team bonding and Sabrina breaking out on her own. Other than that it was good can’t wait to listen the next one.

Too short!!

This was too short! I wanted more!!

I laughed out loud a couple times listening to this. I really enjoyed Saint and Sabrina’s story. But I think my favorite part of the whole book was the last chapter, it jumped 2 years in the future and I loved it.

This was a feel good book. I love that Saint saw her and knew she was something special, then went after her. I loved how he teased her and wore her down. She didn’t want to like him but she also couldn’t help herself.

Also I liked that her job was different than a lot of heroines in sports romances specifically. I liked that she was a little bit of a nerdy numbers girl.

Saint and Sabrina banter was adorable

The story was cute. It was straight to the point, and quick. I just wish I knew what happened for her to do her own thing. Was it Jason? Was it everyone talking? Was it she just wasn’t feeling it anymore? I have a lot of questions. I know everything happened over a span of weeks maybe months. I could be wrong though

very good

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! good overall
