The Forever Play

Nolan U Football, Book 1

By: Katy Archer

Narrated by: Devon Ryder, Sarah McEwan

He's the golden quarterback of Nolan U Football. His life is perfect. His future is set… until he finds out his high school sweetheart secretly had a baby girl… his baby girl.

I'm a father. Holy f**k, I'm a father. How could she not tell me this? Over three years ago, she vanished from my life. I came back for her, ready to patch things up between us, and she ghosted me. Now she's standing there gaping at me, and all I can do is stare at the little girl on her hip—the one who looks exactly like my sister did at that age. The one who's so obviously mine.

"Sienna." I breathe her name. She still looks amazing, and I'm flooded by memories of our time together—every kiss, every smile, every touch, laugh, and taste comes back to me with crystal clarity.

"Nope." She shakes her head, spinning on her heel and running away.

I'm frozen, watching her take off with my daughter and still trying to wrap my head around all this. For a second, I wonder if I was just seeing things, but—

Sh*t, I'm losing her all over again.

I start running, trying to track her down, but she's vanished once more.

But not forever.

This time I won't stop looking.

This time I'm going to find her and tell her that breaking us up is my biggest regret.

This time I'm going to win her back for keeps...

The Forever Play is a standalone, sweet and spicy, second-chance NA football romance with no cheating and a guaranteed happy ending. Perfect for fans of Kelsie Rae, Hannah Gray, and Rebecca Jenshak.

Sweet

It was a sweet story with weak main characters at times. It was still a well written enjoyable book. Zoey was adorable.

Heartfelt and sweet

I enjoyed this book. it was sweet and heartfelt. The plot was good and I will wad the next books.

Second Chance Romance ❤️🍼🏈💙

I really like second chance romances, which is why I picked this book. And while o can appreciate the angst Sienna felt when she finds herself unexpectedly pregnant by the man who left her behind, all her life chooses just didn’t make sense to me. And I’m not sure how a 20 year old can just be a stay at home mom. The girl had no ambition or goals, and let Zander back in too easily, and kicked him back out too quickly. I understand she’s young, but her immaturity was just so off the charts for being a young mom.

There’s to much time given to the antics of a two year old. Just get on with it.

I finished it, which gives it a three star rating, but I hope all the other books in this series are more engaging and mature.

The narrators do a nice job.

<3

I loved this book. The characters were great, especially Zoey, tooooo cute. Sports romance for the win.

DNF

I only it made it to 1:23 minute mark. I think Im just too old to connect. The FMC gets pregnant as a teen. Sounds like her mom and dad did all the work. She's now 20 and is figuring out how to take care of her kid. No job. No ambitions to find a job and be able to stand in her own two feet. She's moved in with a male family friend who is a few years older then her. She's living there rent free and he helps her take care of her kid. Then is upset by the idea that the guy might be interested romantically. Unsure if she graduated high school as the family just suddenly packed up and hit the road. She didn't attend college because her parents gave her the college fund they had for her so she could "stay home and take care of her kid". Entirely too much immaturity and the parents enabled her. I just can't.
