"Definitely a must-read!” (La La Anthony, New York Times best-selling author)

Maxwell Lewis has to make the play of his life in order to breach the woman of his dream’s defenses in this new football romance from the author of Fumbled.

Brynn Larson owes a lot to reality television and professional athletes. Her bar hit new heights of success after becoming a local haunt for the Denver Mustangs players and their WAGs. But although she’s grateful, that doesn’t mean she’s crazy. And that’s exactly what she would be to ever consider dating a professional athlete. Even if it’s Maxwell Lewis, whose shy smile makes her wonder what going on behind those beautiful brown eyes.

Maxwell knew from the moment he met Brynn that she was going to change his life. It was only a matter of time. But when he finally makes a move, fate conspires against him and everything goes wrong. Now he has to show her that their potential is real. Too bad for him, Brynn isn’t fooled by his glamorous NFL life, and when ghosts from both their pasts make a sudden reappearance, she must decide who she can trust. But when the person she’s most afraid of is herself, navigating life’s tackles is harder than anticipated.

Critic reviews

"Alexa has done it again! Fans who enjoyed her previous work will appreciate Blitzed as a fresh perspective on romance in the sports world. Martin is an incredible storyteller and has a unique ability to blend fiction with real-life situations in the sports world. It’s an honest portrayal of the lives and romantic relationships of professional athletes. Definitely a must-read!" (La La Anthony, New York Times best-selling author)

“Blitzed - the third in the series - is an electrifying cocktail of girl power, adorable romance, and enough drama to rival a reality show.” (NPR)

"The lighthearted third sports romance in Martin’s Playbook series (after Fumbled) focuses as much on strong female friendship as it does on love. Readers will be delighted by this sweet romance." (Publishers Weekly)

Just Ok

The story with the brother never really came to light...why was he out to get max...i kept waiting for more details there but it never unfolded...just a very safe story with no shock factors at all

Best one in the series

If you’ve been follow this series, you will enjoy this story. Most relatable one for me. I love have the mustangs WAGS have evolve into a caring family. Bryan was always in the background so it’s nice to finally learn about her. I think this would be an enjoyable movie on Netflix.

Amazing

Alexa is a talented writer and makes you feel as if the characters are your friends. Love all 4 books!

Love!!!!

Alexa Martin has done it again! I wish it was longer. Brin and Maxwell and The lady Mustangs are all the feels!!!!

Excellent job narrating by Kristen Sieh

I loved this book when I read it when it first came out. Now listening to the audio I love it all over again. Kristen Sieh does an amazing job narrating the book. Listening to her I can totally picture Brynn and Maxwell and visualize all their trials and tribulations, their parents h from friends to lovers and Brynn’s adventures with the Lady Mustangs.

Excellent story-telling; slightly rushed plot

I anxiously awaited the next installment in this series. I think Alexa Martin is an excellent story-teller - the characters' expressions and actions vividly come to life as you read/listen. And let's face it, I seriously want to be friends with these ladies. But IMO, this was probably the weakest story of the 3. It felt rushed, and at times, quite predictable. I'm not sure if I just have a familiarity with the writer's style after reading Intercepted and Fumbled. Or if this book was, in fact, rushed to meet the upcoming deadline or overly edited to meet a particular word count. I wish the second half of the book had been expanded a bit more - I very much dislike how the entire storyline was resolved in like 2 chapters.

That said, I am a solid Alexa Martin fan. So if there is a fourth book, I will eagerly download it and spend another 8-10 hours with the surprisingly likable Mustangs WAGs. Even if flawed, I highly recommend this book if you're looking for a fun, fantasy read.

Fun Read

I love how each of Alexa's books have told a story of characters that have showed up in other books. I like how they all tie into to each other. It got off to a slow start but picked up by the 5th chapter.

Love Alexa Martin’s writing

I’ve read all 3 books in a week and throughly enjoyed her writing positive things when it came to men. I read plenty of fiction and the men/athletes tend to be the villains, but this was a refreshing change!!! Overall I enjoyed all of the story lines and I’m a sucker for book series. Can’t wait to read future books by the author.

You would really enjoy this book

Two thumbs way way way up I can tell you I did it is that good you won’t be able to put it down
