The Wrong Play: A Football Romance

The Wrong Player Series, Book 2

De: C.R. Jane

Narrado por: Lucas Webley, Alexis Paige

An obsessive football player pursues a girl with airtight defenses in USA Today–bestselling author C.R. Jane's scorcher of a sequel to The Wrong Quarterback.

Jace Thatcher musthave her. Ever since he laid eyes on Riley, the Tennessee Tigers' star wide receiver has been consumed by the thought of making her his—possessing her, body and soul.

But Riley isn't a game to be won. She has scars that run deep, and a past that's never too far behind her. Riley's looking for a clean start when the cocky football player enters her life. His dangerously seductive grin has her feeling weak in the knees, blowing past the carefully crafted defenses she's built to keep her from making the same mistakes all over again.

Their hot and heavy encounter leaves Riley desperate for more—but falling for Jace might just be the worst play of her life. There's no point in running, though, because Jace will go the extra yard to get what he wants.

Narrated in duet style.

Love ♥️

I absolutely love this series, but this was one of my favorites. Jace could definitely give Lincoln a run for his money with his obcession antics. This was by far one of the best books on Audio! Both narrators were perfect ♥️

HOT

4⭐ I think this is officially my favorite C.R. Jane book, the plot was a 10/10 vibe for me and had me locked in immediately. I do wish that there could have been a chapter dedicated to all that Jace did to take Callum down and went into all of the details with it. Overall I really liked both Jace and Riley, Jace was funny, over protective, and charming; while Riley is quiet, shy, and introverted.
This rating is 100% off vibes only

The wrong play ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I loved the story love the narration. They did an amazing job. The jokes were hilarious. Can’t wait for the next one.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great Story

C.R. Jane never disappoints with the story line. I adore Alexis Paige and Lucas Webley was a little better with the weird pauses between sentences. I really wish you would have Troy Duran at least voice the hockey players. It just isn't the same without him.
I'm thinking that I may just read the rest of this series which is sad because I love Alexis' voice and acting skills.

So good

This book addressed Riley's CFS with sensitivity. As someone with the condition, it really hit home for me. The romance was cute and often funny, while the creep in the story had no redeeming qualities. Plus, there was plenty of spice!

RILEY (FMC)
- Experienced sexual/emotional abuse before college
- Has Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)
- Struggles with trust issues

JACE (MMC)
- Star college football player
- Falls for Riley and is unhinged and obsessively devoted to her
- Joins a secret society

~ After enduring abuse from an older family friend, Riley leaves for college to find safety, telling no one.
~ She meets Jace, who changes her life in this spicy romance. He obsessively pursues her, working hard to show her she's worthy and keep her safe.
~ His group of friends is just as unhinged and crazy as he is
~ Riley's "odd" roommate and the "Drama Llama Club" added a lot of fun to the story.
~ The narrater's were so good. I especially liked Lucas Webley
*I was cracking up so much that I literally had tears streaming down my face at times.

Feelings:
~ I STRONGLY DISLIKED the abusive professor from her past, who turned out to be an even bigger creep in the end. I was also frustrated by the way her parents treated her, particularly her mother.
~ The Drama Llama Club guys (like the Circle of Trust from The Pucking Wrong Series) were so funny and helped each other out, even when one of them needed help pulling off unhinged, possessive schemes.
~ C.R. Jane's portrayal of CFS was realistic and highlighted its impact on all aspects of Riley's life.

Helpful to know:
~Parker is Walker's brother from The Pucking Wrong Series, and some characters from both series are interconnected.
~Each book features a different couple, but I feel like you get to know them better if you read The Pucking Wrong series and this series in order.

Trigger warnings: non-consent off-page, emotional abuse off-page, stalking, PTSD, detailed moments regarding her medical condition

4.5 stars

the audio of these books is amazing! I love hearing the banter between the characters and the unhinged thoughts brought to life!

Loved this

This is a great series. I love the way the men love their females. The narrators were awesome! It hits all the marks for me.

Entertaining a dark romantic comedy at it's fines

C.R. Jane does such a great job balancing darker back stories and unhinged behavior from our MMCs with comedic dialog and character personalities.

Jace reminds me so much of Ari who in the pucking wrong series was my favorite. The humor and banter between Jace his brother and his friends was fantastic and had me laughing out loud. As I listened to this book as an audio, it makes me want to revisit the pucking wrong series this time via audio. I have a feeling it's going to be a great time!

The narrators here did a great job expressing the emotions and bringing their characters to life. Lucas Webley also did a fantastic job changing his voice for the different male characters in the book.

I'm looking forward to Matty's book as well as Jagger's to continue to explore the characters in this world.

I Adored the MMC

I adored the MMC but the MFC was...annoying. Now, I will give her grace and say she is a young college student and therefore her frontal lobe isn't fully developed. But like all the running away and keeping secrets and not verbally reciprocating her feelings just grated on my nerves.

Loooove JT

This was so perfect but I already loved Jace so I knew I'd be obsessed. the under the bed scene absolutely hilarious. This book gives me life 😍
