Publisher's Summary

A good love story always begins the same way.

A chance meeting.

A sizzling look.

A flat tire.

Dani Miner could have been voted least likely to be a damsel in distress.

Tabor Hunter should have been voted most likely to do the rescuing.

So when Dani gets a flat tire on her way home one evening, she is, at first, less than thrilled to be helped out by a man that is clearly too charming for his own good. Even if he is handsome. And buff. And the king of the thousand watt smile.

However, prickly Dani is eventually charmed by her hottie knight in shining sunglasses. And a brief moment spent on the side of the road on a hot summer evening quickly leads to a first date.

But what Dani doesn't realize is that she has just agreed to go out with the very famous defensive end for the San Diego Quakes. And Tabor is thrilled to finally meet a woman who doesn't fall at his overly athletic feet. This year's most valuable player is excited to have a chance to be an ordinary guy with a less than ordinary woman.

But being a celebrity can put a real kink in your love life and Dani, a woman used to a much quieter life, is soon caught up in the high-paced world of fame and football.

Falling in love is easy. Falling in love with a sports star is another story.

Can Dani figure out how to play the game before she fumbles her chance at happiness?

Loved The Ending :-)

This is a fun contemporary sports romance with good narration, likable characters and a story that doesn't disappoint. The main characters (Dani and Tabor) are both strong characters who meet each other randomly. From the beginning, their relationship, is fun, romantic, and so sweet. The story moves along at a good pace and shows some believable relationship obstacles and concerns. I enjoyed the journey and loved the ending. Looking forward to more books by this author.

Note: This book does have a few adult language/conversations, etc....but nothing explicit.

I would like to thank the author, narrator, or publisher for giving me this review copy in exchange for my review.

A little too much whining

Overall I enjoyed this story. Dani is a modest teacher who has a handsome stranger help her change a flat tire. She’s not a football fan, so she doesn’t recognize star pro footballer and eligible bachelor Tabor. He is attracted to her and her lack of recognition is refreshing. He chases her until they start dating. Then the constant whining begins. She doesn’t want to have them seen in public. She is shy and doesn’t want to be in the limelight. This part is very repetitive. Then when they do become public, the gossip rags bad mouth her and make up lies. Dani’s job is affected and she breaks up with Tabor. She is a very weak character and continues to whine and have pity parties. At this point, you won’t blame Tabor if he moves on. She doesn’t act as if he’s important to her or make him her priority. Then more angst occurs. Don’t want to share any spoilers. The epilogue is set about 25 years in the future. Wish she had given us a bit more resolution in the current time era. I felt some plot lines were left unresolved. I liked Tabor’s character and their banter. Overall I enjoyed the book despite the whining.

okay story

I struggled with this book. many times spacing out while listening. the narration left alot to be desired very monotone. story seemed to drag at times making the heroine very whiney and needy.

Boring

Boring and no spice, great if your a fourteen year old child. Would not recommend to my dog !

Story was so so

Story was so so but couldn’t get past the male voice. He didn’t match the character in my head and I just couldn’t focus

Beautiful Story!!!

Absolutely enjoyed listening to this audiobook. Beautiful story. I need my very own Tabor. Also beautiful ending!!

Audible Escape Rocks!!!

Not pink porn

If you want hot sex scenes this isn’t your book. If you want an interesting romance that deals with something that you might relate to (in a smaller, not dating a football superstar) way this is a good book. People make realistic mistakes. Both characters are both strong and flawed. I enjoyed the change of pace.

it was okay

This story was told mostly from the heroine POV. I don't usually listen to one sided but I loved sports romance. I decided to give it a try. I loved male reader more than female. Unfortunately, this was told mostly from her so it was a distraction from the story. The story was okay. There was nothing special about the characters. I didn't give this a low rating because the writing was good. The character was well developed but I'm not impressed with the story. Don't let my review deter you from listening. You should give it a try. You might like it!

Great story, amazing narrators.

Well this is my first book by TK Rapp and I loved it, Tabor and Dani story is such a sweet swoony one. He tries to hide his identity and wanting to be a normal guy for Dani who didn't have a clue of who he was made a perfect storyline. The teacher and the famous football player story evolves in a slow burn that will have you reading. Convincing Dani that he is worth fighting for will not be easy. I got the audiobook and the narrators were perfect, they showed every emotion in their words, made it so easy to get into it until the end. I will be looking forward to reading the next one.

Just No!

I tried so hard with this book! I truly tried! I don’t even know where to begin. The plot- horrible. The heroine got on my NERVES! The hero was a great guy! I just couldn’t stand her. And let’s talk about the narration...whoa! It was atrocious. Well the female narrator was. That may have something to do with how I viewed the female characters, especially the h. The male narrator was...meh. This book just didn’t do it for me. I’ve given some books some chances and found at least some merit to them. This one was a fail.

enjoyed listening to this book

narrators where fantastic and had me on every word from the start. would recommend this book thank you
