Fantastic Story & Listen🎧 Enjoyable & Smoking🔥Hot!

I absolutely loved this book, it is an entertaining and enjoyable sports romance. Lainey Davis is a gifted author, she creates stories and characters that are realistic and easy to relate to. I loved how much story she managed to fit in this novella sized book. I adored the two lead characters, both college students, one a jock the other a bit of a nerdy geek. Serena Sanders has her eyes on graduate school, she loves statistics and excited to attend an elective class that will be taught by her statistic idol, Professor Matt Jacobs, someone she hopes to work with in the future. She gets annoyed when she sees Talon “The Claw” Kelly arrives late for class, he is the star football player on the school’s team. Currently walking with crutches because of an injury he sustained on the field. And just her luck she gets paired with him to work on a team assignment. She has to work around his busy schedule to get together for the project. Talon is pretty full of himself, a player on and off the field but as he and Serena start to work together they start to build a bond. He knows he is a player but he does not want to play her especially after what she tells him. I loved these two together and for each other. She had her issues to deal with, her dislike for football because it kept her father away from her. He had a relationship phobia, not wanted to have one hold him back or down. I love how everything plays out in this book, the story is beautifully plotted and there is never a dull moment with plenty of drama, some angst, heartfelt moments and steamy hot romance.

Crystal Crockett does a nice job portraying the characters, bringing them and their story to life. She gives each character their own voice and personality as well as heart and attitude. She is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for this great listen🎧

Loved this one!

From the first to last chapter I was totally invested in Serena and Talon's story. I am a big fan of sports romance. Enjoyed the characters, storyline and narration. I love a HEA and this audiobook totally delivers. I highly recommend this book! I received this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

Short Story!

I enjoyed this book so much I wish it was longer, It had great characters and it didn't feel rushed even though it was a short story. I look forward to more books from this author!

Delightful!

Serena Sanders is a statistics nerd and there's nothing she likes more than to do the stats for one of the sports teams. She grew up with a father who was a football coach and sports are a part of her DNA. Talon "the Claw" Kelly is the star quarterback who is injured and walks clumsily with his crutches and his brace. They are both enrolled in statistics, a class taught by Serena's idol, Professor Matt Jacobs. When the professor announces teams for the projects, of course, Serena ends up with Talon...just her luck! As they work together, it becomes apparent that he's a good guy and he may be a player, all right, but only on the football field. He's kind, considerate and quite protective of her, but he draws the line at relationships, he does not do them. From the first time he laid eyes on her in class, Talon liked Serena and hoped that she could see him for who he really is. As they continue to work together on their project, but really getting to know each other, their future looks promising. It's when Talon walks in on something that he runs and wants nothing to do with Serena. What a mess! There is a sweet ending and epilogue that makes you smile. The narration is wonderfully done by Crystal Crockett. 

Sweet, hot and quick

I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I really wanted to hate him, I tried but I’m the end he won me over. She was smart, sassy and motivated to achieve her dreams. I feel like this story is relatable and that’s part of what drew me in. I don’t want to say too much and give anything away... I would recommend listening to this if you enjoy a quick, hot sports romance.

Serena and Talon

This was a sweet college romance. I enjoyed how the the characters had time to develop a friendship before things get steamy. I thought the couple was great together and you could feel the butterflies for them. The angst didn't go on too long which I liked. I love how things worked out for them and of course I am greedy and wanted a longer look into their future. Crystal Crockett did a good job narrating!
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

A story to settle with before bed time

This was a fantastic book.

If you like virgin romance and football, this is the book for you. I was playing this one in the bedroom that is right next to the living room. When I was starting to talk about it with my husband he told me that he heard the book too. We both agreed that the book was pretty good.

So you have a virgin who falls for the quarterback and he's a love 'em and leave 'em kind of guy, but you can tell he wants her too. Mix into this a teacher that the virgin was flirting with at the start. It's all around a good story and the ending was pretty good too.
