After the Game

De: Abbi Glines

Narrado por: Jason Carpenter, Charlotte Penfield

The third book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Field Party series—a southern soap opera with football, cute boys, and pick-up trucks—from USA TODAY bestselling author Abbi Glines.

Two years ago, Riley Young fled from Lawton, Alabama. After accusing the oldest Lawton son, Rhett, of rape, everyone called her a liar and she had no option but to leave. Now she’s back, but she’s not at Lawton High finishing up her senior year. She’s at home raising the little girl that no one believed was Rhett’s.

Rhett is off at college living the life he was afraid he’d lose with Riley’s accusation, so Riley agrees to move back to Lawton so she and her parents could take care of her grandmother, who is suffering from Alzheimer’s. But the town still hasn’t forgotten their hate for her, and she hasn’t forgotten the way they turned on her when she needed them most.

When town golden boy Brady Higgens finds Riley and her daughter, Bryony, stranded on the side of the road in a storm, he pulls over and gives them a ride. Not because he cares about Riley, of course, but because of the kid.

But after the simple car ride, he begins to question everything he thought he knew. Could Brady believe Riley and risk losing everything?

Third time is a charm

I’m listening to the field party series in sequential order and I find each book gets better. So far, this has been my favorite in the series. I really appreciated the character growth in the arc of Brady and Riley is hands down the best female lead we’ve met in the series. It’s an easy listen with some heavy subject matter that I felt was weaved into the story in a realistic and delicate way.

Awesome

Wonderful story that felt real, I'm loving this series. The narrators did a good job for once.

third book

I was so excited to read this book because I loved the other two. It was so very different from the others but still an amazing read. I am crossing my fingers that the next book gives insight on how things worked out for them after just as the others have.

The 3rd installment is better than the 2nd, but...

This 3rd installment is better than the 2nd (Under the Lights), but nothing comes close to the initial novel, Until Friday Night. I guess the West - Maggie romance is just too damn hard to beat! However, we do find a deeper side of Brady in this book; i.e., he longs to be like his best friends and have the true strong connections to girls as they do.

Love this one

Oh Brady! I really loved that they didn't make Brady the typical jerk we expected from his first introduction and I loved the development of the story and his relationship with his parents and well as the development of the romance with Riley along with her character of being a mom and daughter etc I truly loved the relationship with her parents! The narrators do a fantastic job with this one.
