Tackled in the Stacks

A Love Letters Prequel

De: S.J. Tilly

Narrado por: Andi Arndt, Jacob Morgan

I caught her staring at me from across the quad, eyes fixed on the football jersey stretched across my wide chest. And if I flexed my muscles, showing off the strength of a defensive tackle, it was just to see her blush.

And then she did, and I couldn’t get her out of my mind.

Her wide eyes. The freckles on her cheeks.

I needed to know her. The girl who scampered away every time we bumped into each other—by accident and by design. The girl who shyly agreed to come to my game, getting her first taste of football. The girl, Hannah Utley, who worked at the campus library and let me rest my head on her shoulder as she read to me in one of the study rooms.

It was innocent. Mostly.

Until we lose track of time and discover that the library has closed. And we’re locked inside.

Now it’s me and Hannah in the stacks.

Alone.

With nothing but desire between us.

(This is a prequel to Love, Utley)

A great start!

What a great start to this series - a little sweet, a little spicy and leaves you wanting the next one immediately!

Hannah is the nerdy girl who works at the library on campus and is new to the university as a transfer student. Maddox “Mad Dog” is the big man on campus as a member of the football team. Their eyes meet across the way but Hannah runs to her class. After class, Hannah heads to lunch and then her job. Quickly she realizes she has gone the wrong way and turns around quickly. Are same time, Maddox is running after the pretty girl he saw before and leans in to touch her as she spins around and crashes directly into his chest. This collision leaves her with a bit of a bloody nose and a football player that is falling fast for her. They continue to spend time together and connect on a very special level.

I love a great meet cute story but a meet cute story that ends up with them being locked in the library overnight is delicious!

Enjoy this prequel and get ready for the rest of the story between Hannah & Maddox

Enjoy the read! Peace ☮️ friends!

Hannah and Maddox

This prequel is absolutely adorable! It gives us a glimpse of how Hannah and Maddox first met, from their clumsy run-in to those cozy study sessions in the library—and yes, there’s a steamy moment, too.

The audiobook was super cute, and I definitely recommend giving it a listen. It’s a cute, quick, and super fun read! A perfect prequel that sets the tone for Love, Utley beautifully. I’m excited to see where Hannah and Maddox’s story goes from here!

Loved it - Excellent Narrators!

Ahhhh . . . . I could listen to Zachary Webber’s voice for days - & his voice delivers a fine Mad Dog Maddox. Andi Arndt gave her usual great performance as Hannah.

This was a super cute, short, easy - but sexy- listen! Having loved listening to Love, Utley before, I thoroughly enjoyed this prequel.

Short and spicy

I know this Is a novella but hell yes did they not mess around and got down to the spice. It’s an adorable meet cute and I love that Maddox seems to be the one who to a looking to her first! I can’t wait for the next one

Wonderful pre-story

It’s a wonderful pre story that tied everything together to bring clarity and enjoyment to the whole story!
I highly recommend you listen to this episode before “Love Utley: Love Letters, book 1”

Short & Sweet

Such a cute way to revisit Hannah and Maddox! This is exactly what I hoped for. Short, sweet, funny, and well-written. The audiobook was performed well! These narrators are two of my favorites.

Prologue to Love, Utley

In Love, Utley... We meet Maddox and Hannah years after they lose touch. This book gives us the backstory to their time together in college. It's a meet cute of a shy new girl and the popular college star. We know from Love, Utley that they only knew each a short time before she had to leave college after only a week in attendance. We also know from Love, Utley they shared together was life changing. If you want those details... then read Tackled in the Stacks.

This book was similar to a "prologue" or chapter 1... but with more detail. Had I read this BEFORE Love, Utley... I would've swooned and been excited for this read. However, reading it 2 months AFTER reading Love, Utley... there's no anticipation, just a "cute to know" or a retelling of the memories the two characters shared in Love, Utley but in real-time.

Maybe one day, this will be an all-in-one, so the folks who haven't read either yet will be able to read it in order.

Lovely Story

Everything and then some. Need more stories like this one. Next story up please Bring it on

Cute!

Short and sweet (and spicy) ;) Just what I needed for a 2-hr drive back home one afternoon.

Tackled in the Stacks was such a sweet and spicy little listen, and I loved it so much. Can’t wait to dive into Love, Utley.
