Marlee thought she scored the man of her dreams only to be scorched by a bad breakup. But there's a new player on the horizon, and he's in a league of his own...

Marlee Harper is the perfect girlfriend. She's definitely had enough practice by dating her NFL-star boyfriend for the last ten years. But when she discovers he has been tackling other women on the sly, she vows to never date an athlete again. There's just one problem: Gavin Pope, the new hotshot quarterback and a fling from the past, has Marlee in his sights.

Gavin fights to show Marlee he's nothing like her ex. Unfortunately, not everyone is ready to let her escape her past. The team's wives, who never led the welcome wagon, are not happy with Marlee's return. They have only one thing on their minds: taking her down. But when the gossip makes Marlee public enemy number one, she worries about more than just her reputation.

Between their own fumbles and the wicked wives, it will take a Hail Mary for Marlee and Gavin's relationship to survive the season.

Perfect Escapism Romance

I love this book. It is sweet and cheesy with a little more angst than I’d want. But that’s what makes a great romance. I really like how complete this story is. It doesn’t end when they get together. We get to see their journey And how they deal with different challenges to find and recommit to each other. Gavin is an absolute dream of an unrealistic man. He is my romance novel boyfriend and so perfect. I love that he is always concerned with how the heroine is doing and extremely emotionally available. I can’t wait to see this as a series since it’s been picked up by STARZ. I hope he remains true to his character. Marlee was a little irritating but I’ve read much worse. Loved this cheesy perfect contemporary romance.

Fantastic!

This is a fantastic book. The perfect mix of romance and edge-of-your-seat drama! It is a mixture of Gossip Girl and All American tv shows in the NFL world. I swear Marley is me! An independent, sassy, outspoken hot mess of a woman. The narrator was perfect! The tones and accents used made me feel like I was in the book.

Oh wow

Im so glad I bought this book to listen to on my drive. It was well written, funny, they characters were well rounded...I bought the audible—and it was READ WELL...with expression. I love it

#nomorehashtags

I enjoyed the story and was intrigued as the story progressed. But the hashtags! I could have really done with out that. I also don’t think the narrator depicted the true voice of the character. Overall pretty good.

Cute story

But leave out “hashtag” hashtag this hashtag that… overall cute story. Typical storyline girl meets boy
