Top 100 sports romance best seller!

Meet Graham Tettersaw, former star quarterback. He blew his first shot at success, but now he has a second chance at playing football...and at having a life.

Graham's not about to squander this new opportunity with a rising team. No way. They're about to make his dreams come true, even If they did just add a weird clause that he's supposed to pretend some random chick is his girlfriend.

Whatever!

Teams can be weird about stuff. But Graham can play along. After all, it's all about forward progress.

In football, getting the ball down the field and scoring is goal number one. Life isn't all that much different. That's why Graham is hoping to do some scoring of his own, off the field. Especially when he finds out the pretend girlfriend the team has picked out for him, Eden Vetterly, is beyond hot.

But it's not all about sex.

Graham really likes Eden.

And she likes him too - a lot.

Too bad the team just changed all the rules.

Forward Progress is the first audiobook in the new Men of Fall series, where football meets romance.

Graham💘Eden! Great Story & Listen🎧 Sweet Romance!

This is a great book, it grabbed my attention right from the start and held it to the end. The storylines and characters are interesting and realistic. Graham Tettersaw misses his time on the field, he gets a second chance at playing for a team in a newly created football league. The team has conditions built in to his contract, which includes the team controlling aspects his private life and his image in social media. They want him to have a steady girlfriend, his agent Jock finds one for him. Eden Vetterly, a hard working waitress is the legal guardian of her younger brother, she wants the best for him and makes sacrifices for him, including signing a contract to pretend to be a girlfriend to the new quarterback of the Columbus Comets. There was an instant attraction when these two met but they held back not knowing what each others deal was. I loved how well plotted this story was, it had a nice flow to it, from getting to know each other to the build up of the relationship. Eden and Graham were great together and for each other, both were stand up people with huge hearts, putting others before themselves. There is never a dull moment in this book, it all plays out nicely, with plenty of drama, a twist here and there and some hot romance. This is my first book by S.R. Grey and it will not be my last. Thank you for this great story.

I listened to the Audible edition, Teddy Hamilton and Reagan West are terrific narrators and voice performers. They bring these characters to life, give each their own voice and personality, as well as heart and attitude. They do an amazing job projecting the emotions of the characters and the drama of the story info their performance. Each are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for this great listen🎧

Football Favorite!

S.R. Grey is incredible at writing books I fall in love with. Forward Progress is no exception. I was attracted to Graham when he was first introduced in the Men on Ice series. Graham and Eden had immediate chemistry, and it was delightful watching them grow and sneak around. I loved the imagery in the book, and how the author wrote the details that really added to the book. The humor was an added plus. Teddy Hamilton and Reagan West were delightful bringing the characters to life. Their emotions were spot on, and the timing for the humor made it laugh out loud. This is a standalone listen and the start of a new series. I'll definitely be listening to more by this talented author and narrator.

Great start to the series

Book one in an exciting new series from S.R. Grey and I was so excited to dive in. Graham Tettersaw is a former star quarterback looking to get back into the game he loves. When an opportunity is forthcoming, the only catch is that the team requires he be in a steady relationship.

Enter Eden Vetterly, a woman, in need of money, she is the perfect woman to play the part. However, the fact that there is an instant attraction may complicate the arrangement as the chemistry between them is off the charts. Will they be able to ignore their smouldering attraction or will they give in to temptation?

I really loved both the characters, separately and together. Forward Progress is full of drama, steam, laughter and romance and I absolutely devoured it. Graham is certainly swoon worthy and Eden is a woman who could be my friend. If only they could ignore the outside influences threatening to destroy them, they might just get their happily ever after.

This was a great start to the series and both Reagan West and Teddy Hamilton's narration was spot on. I cannot wait to see what S.R.Grey has in store for the Men of Fall. Who will be next?

The narrators really raise this on to the next level

This is my first book by this S.R. Grey. I like what the author did with the story. It had some fun moments and it did not go in the direction I thought it would. It’s happier and more even keeled. Sure the owners were jerks but they are looking to get butts in the seats. Whatever it takes! This could have gone way worse. The characters were great. Usually I tend to favor the males but in this one I really liked Eden. She was struggling and only wanted the best for her brother (who is a great secondary character). This lead her to questionable actions but it also led her to Graham.

Teddy Hamilton and Reagan West did an amazing job narrating. They both had notes of excitement, laughter, sadness in their voices while reading. This is what makes a book wonderful to listen to. We already have a good story and these two made the characters more believable and listener friendly.
This seems well rounded and makes me a little more interested in the o

3 Stars ⭐⭐⭐🎧

I don't get how some of ... Ok that is why, I just realized I was about to say why are some of R.S. Grey's work so great and why do some miss the mark. Then I realized this is a different author this is S.R. Grey that would explain it!

Ok so I liked this book I didn't love it. I get that Graham is a wild card, he has been out of the game for a while and his past is a big part of it. But why in the world would he let management dictate his life!?!?! His playing was at an all time high, so when they tell him to do one thing, he does not his fault he feel in love. Then they want a 180 talk about whiplash!!

I would have put my foot down and been like no, personal life is not up for debate since they were the ones to say what he was going to do about it in the beginning!!

This where all the dramalama comes in and I just don't do dramalama!

I finished the book and I am sad it had to be so up and down. I liked the narration so I kept listening until I finished.
