Resumen del Editor

Pro quarterback Cade Prescott's last play was to lose the Super Bowl for his team. To escape the bad press and recover from the disastrous season, he changes his appearance and hides away at a sleepy university town.

Andie Wales's first love is researching ancient bad boy kings. She is blissfully unaware of the Super Bowl and modern day bad boys. When her dog meets and mates with Cade's dog, Andie's first concern is to get her dog to a vet. She gets waylaid by Cade and his hunky good looks and has no idea just how out of her league Cade is.

Despite his secrets, Cade feels differently about Andie and thinks he might be falling in love. Unfortunately, his past catches up with him, and he is forced to make a difficult decision. Can a professional athlete and a research librarian truly prove the axiom that opposites not just attract, but were meant for each other?

Cliffhanger. Cade and Andie's story continues in Part Two.

Sweet Football romance

Intercepted by Love is a sweet story about a football player that has gone into hiding. The sexy football player is attempting to just hide out and find himself, but he ends up finding much more than that! With an unexpected run-in in the library, Cade finds someone who doesn't know what he does and like's him for who he is. It does end on a bit of a cliffhanger but luckily the entire series is out!

The narration is good, Chris Abell has yet again done a great job!

The Quarterback and the Librarian

Another great story by Rachelle Ayala, but be warned... there's a cliffhanger. No need to worry though... book 2 is available.

Opposites do attract. Cade is a football quarterback who is trying to escape from an unfortunate situation. Andie is a librarian who loves her research. Can this unlikely couple survive?

Chris Abell once again does a fantastic job of bringing the characters to life.

Quick page turner

Any additional comments?

The first audiobook I read by this author used the same narrator. This gave my experience a pleasant feeling of familiarity from the beginning since I enjoyed his narration for that book also.

Intercepted by Love is a romance so it's no surprise that everyone is exactly the cliche they need when they need to be so. This doesn't stop Ayala from fleshing out the main characters and making them complex and relatable. More importantly, the characters, at least the main 2, feel like individuals. It would be far too easy for one character to basically be fantasy-fulfillment for the other but the author avoids this. Andie and Cade each have their own personalities, histories, and motivations. Although it's inevitable that they'll end up together (being the only interesting characters in a romance novel), it doesn't feel cheap. There's an emotional and literary satisfaction which you can only get when the relationship feels earned.

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

Intercepted By Love

What did you love best about Intercepted by Love?

I enjoyed this story. It shows us that even though someone doesn't feel like they are perfect, with the right person and with love, they can be happy.

Which character – as performed by Chris Abell – was your favorite?

I think he did the character of Cade very well. He had expression in his voice when Cade was distraught, hurt or excited.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, because of the length of this book and the content, I was able to sit and listen to it all in one sitting. It was approx. 3 hr. long . I was able to do some chores while being entertained .

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed this story. Andie and Cade were an unlikely, opposites attract couple and that always warms my heart. It really warmed my heart when Andie visits with her dad and gets him to smile. The Author almost always adds a touch of animals to her stories and I love that! (Gollie and Red almost had their own story! LOL) It has some moments of humor, touching moments and held my interest through the whole book.

The Quarterback and the Librarian

Any additional comments?

Cade and Andie's first meeting was very unusual to say the least. Cade has gone incognito to avoid the backlash from his mistake in losing in the Super Bowl. Andie is a Biblical historical librarian who doesn't follow sports. They fall for each other in only a week and then the press finds out where he is and everything changes for them. I enjoyed this audio book and the narration by Chris Abell. I didn't want to quit listening it was so good. It does end with a cliffhanger. I can't wait for the next book in the series.

Awesome

Any additional comments?

This audiobook was given to me for a honest review. This was awesome, i loved it. can not wait for the rest of the series. This author will be on my automatic buy list.

Enjoyable story

I enjoyed listening to this book and enjoyed the storyline. I was given this for my honest review.

I loved it.

This is a well written and preformed book. I have yet to find a book by this author that I didn't enjoy. The characters are likeable. The storyline is engaging beginning to end. While I received this audio to listen and review I was so drawn into the story that I couldn't wait for the next part to release and quickly one clicked the entire series in ebook format to see how this story unfolds!

My mouth fell open at the cliff hanging end

Any additional comments?

I will admit I was dragging my feet on this one. Only because it is a sports romance and that it's football. I love Rachelle Ayala stories so I decided to give them a chance and glad I did.
This is the first book and it does hang on a cliff hanger.
Cade has thrown a bad play causing his team to lose the playoffs so he goes into hiding. He winds up in New York and meets sexy librarian Andi. She is a researcher and knows everything about King David and then some. She has a secret that keeps her from wanting to have relationships. she is happy wound up in her research. Her father has had a stroke and she has to help support them.

This book builds up the characters backstories and their meeting. it is short, fast paced and having to dogs causing an issue makes t lots of fun. I even found the facts on King David and his wives interesting.

If you are looking for something to fill in a short space of time this is a good one. I will admit I don't care for books done in parts so I listened to all three of these in one day.

The Quarterback

Short and at times very funny story.
It was enjoyable enough, with an ending making you want to know what will happen next,
Narrator got better the more you listen, he got with the flow and made it enjoyable. He has a great voice that's for sure.
