The Set Piece

De: Catherine Lane

Narrado por: Abby Craden

Smart and athletic, Amy Kimball should have it all, but her life's in a tailspin. She's working two menial jobs to make ends meet, barely a paycheck away from financial disaster, and women aren't exactly lining up at her door.

Enter soccer star Diego Torres, who's keeping a big secret: he's gay. His manager fears that if he's found out, his endorsements and his chance to play for the national team will evaporate into the wind.

Amy jumps at the chance to act as Diego's fake fiancee, even though it means signing her life away in a non-disclosure agreement. On the surface, the job couldn't be better: the money's great; the living accommodations are luxurious, and she gets to watch her favorite soccer team from the players' box at the stadium.

But she soon realizes that this new life is even harder to navigate than her old one. Diego's manager is as sleazy as they come, and this easy job soon turns complicated, possibly even dangerous. More important, all the lies Amy is forced to tell are starting to eat away at her soul, especially when she finds herself attracted to Casey Palmer, Diego's pretty assistant.

Will Amy find the courage to get back into the game?

Contains mature themes.

Great love story ❤️

True friendship, lies, extended family & a little mystery. All included in this fabulous story ❤️❤️. As usual, a book read by Abby Craden it’s a hit on my personal list. She sounds so sexy and can make so many different voices, it’s a delightful sensation.

Excellent Storyline

Being athletic myself, I could relate to the events. The struggles were real. The romance is believable. Even portrayed some mystery.

The narration was superb.

A Very Different Sapphic Romance

This is a thought provoking novel. In some ways, an indictment of sports and celebrity culture, in other ways a celebration of the resiliency of a group of friends to wend their way and make family in exigent circumstances.

The main characters are lovable and believable. The romance feels right. The inside peeks into elite soccer contribute to the overall experience.

The angst is external and the end believable.

I am glad that I read this story.

Always a pleasure to have Abby Craden's voice in my ear.

Different,Entertaining and no angst
