First & Goal

Queen of the League, Book 1

De: Laura Chapman

Narrado por: Annie Abate

The new girl in town, a fantasy football league full of eligible bachelors, and only her dignity and heart are on the line.

Harper Duquaine doesn’t have the best record.

After coming up short in her last relationship, and consequently losing her job, she’s in rebuilding mode, living in her brother’s basement while trying to save up enough money for a fresh start. On a whim, Harper decides to impress her new co-workers by joining their fantasy football team. The only problem: She doesn’t know a tight end from a running back or a sleeper from a keeper.

It doesn’t help that she almost immediately finds herself drawn to her two biggest competitors. There’s the bad boy former college football star, who is now a minor celebrity, and the mild-mannered high school coach, who may have a few tricks up his sleeve.

Harper is out to prove that when it comes to love - and fantasy football - if you can’t beat ‘em, you’d better join ‘em. Then beat them.

From the award-winning author of Playing House and Counting on You, First & Goal is laugh-out-loud romantic women’s fiction about starting over, learning to trust your heart, and building your own happily ever after.

Great Book!

Any additional comments?

This is a great book; this is the first book in the Queen of the League series written by Laura Chapman and narrated by Annie Abate. When Harper Duquaine's no-nonsense approach to work unintentionally ruffles the wrong feathers at her new job, she joins her co-workers fantasy football league to prove she can hang with the guys. The problem is she has no clue when it comes to football. Embroiled in a world of lineups, stats, and trades, Harper's quest to make nice topples when her competitive streak emerges. And her promise to herself that she'll be a strong, independent woman and leave the drama and heartache behind is seriously tested when she catches the attention of her two biggest competitors: J.J., a local celebrity determined to win a fantasy championship, and Brook, the mild-mannered coach who seems too good to be true. Both threaten her resolve to remain single and, more importantly, her chances at winning the prize pool.

The narrator Annie Abate did a wonderful job with this book. She did a great job with the different voices of each character in this book. It was very easy to listen to and I didn’t want to stop listening until the end.

If you are looking for a great book with well-developed characters then you need to listen to this book. I am looking forward to listening to the next book by this author and narrator.

Sweet sports romance

Would you listen to First & Goal again? Why?

I would not listen to this story again. While I found the story enjoyable I wasn't overly fond of the narration and it wasn't a story I would listen to/read again. It just didn't take me away

Would you be willing to try another book from Laura Chapman? Why or why not?

I would be willing as I think there are a lot of good bones to her writing style

Did Annie Abate do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Annie did although I found her voice a little whiny in parts and that was difficult for me to listen to

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No :(

1st time listen to this author
