Red Card

By: Maren Moore

Narrated by: Matt Sykes, Stella Hunter

In this heartfelt sports romance, a British bad boy rugby player finds an unlikely ally in the coach’s daughter.

British bad boy Cillian “Kill” Cairney is ruthless on the rugby pitch. After getting a permanent red card from his team in London, the only team that will have him is an Ivy League school in New Hampshire. But the guys hate him, his coach doesn’t trust him, and worst of all? His starting position is in the hands of his coach’s fiery, rugby-obsessed, very off-limits daughter, Rory. He'll have to earn the respect of both his coach and Rory—and nothing has ever seemed more difficult. That is, until she approaches him with a proposition that could benefit them both . . .

Rory St. James has spent all her life immersed in rugby. She’s tired of being friend-zoned. She wants to get the guy, and to do that, she needs the frustratingly charming Cillian to teach her. But the more time they spend together, the more lines begin to blur.

In a game where trust and loyalty are tested, who will be the winner? Or will love be the final red card?

Maren's Never Met a Sport She COULDN'T Write About

I was so happy to see Red Card was being traditionally published and with audio! The performance was great and like I said...there isn't a sport that Maren couldn't write a romance about. Red Card follows Cillian and Rory as they form a mutually beneficial relationship that really, really emphasizes the benefits if ya know what I mean. This story is full of heart, romance, spice, and friendship and I genuinely couldn't recommend it enough.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A British bad boy with an attitude problem and the coach’s daughter who isn’t afraid to put him in his place? Sign me up! The banter is sharp, the chemistry is filthy good, and the slow-burn payoff? Total guilty pleasure 🏉🔥

What a great start to the series

Red Card is the first book in Maren’s new series Prescott University and it did not disappoint. A new sports world for Moore to dive into but I’m so here for it.
I mean, If you love a good sports romance(rugby), with a broken bad boy who falls hard for the coaches daughter then this book is the right one for you.
Cillian and Rory had all the banter, sass, tension and angst. She helps him with the team and he helps her with her pick up game. Slowly but surely things evolve between these two. They have more in common than they know, and Cilllian shows Rory who he truly is under his bad boy persona. Rory is a spitfire, funny, and shows Cillian a side of herself that he isn’t used to. Oh the forbidden romance and sassy rendezvous…. Yes, please. Of course, there are a few plot twist I didn’t see coming but I do love how his team finally lets him in and they rally around him when he needs it most. His growth through out the storyline was just a chefs kiss.

The audiobook was narrated by Matt Sykes and Stella Hunter. This was the first time that I heard both of them together. This dual narration was really good, kept me engaged and the British accent was so yummy to listen to. Their characterizations were spot on and evoked so many emotions at the needed times. Great listen.

Sweet and spicy rugby romance

Classic Maren Moore charm! Red Card is effortlessly swoony, delightfully fun, and deliciously sexy! It's sincere, heartfelt, with just the right dash of drama...and also full of plenty of rugby team antics AND thick thighs. And as always, Maren Moore balances heart, heat, and humor with deft acumen. And the spice is spicing! Prepare to be charmed by the most endearing cast of rugby heartthrobs and the most delightfully fierce but vulnerable heroine who keeps them all in line. I'm already madly in love with the Prescott U world!

The dual audio narration is amazing. Matt Sykes is delectable with his accent as Cillian, and Stella is the perfect Rory with all her heart and sassy and charm. Both do a great job going back and forth between the US and British accents- truly a fun listen.
