Publisher's summary

He's my best friend. He's a pro football player. He's famous. I'm just the girl next door.

And I've been in love with him since I was thirteen.

He doesn't know. He can never know. But will I be able to hide my feelings when I move in with him?

Jackson Fields. Denver's star kicker. My best friend since ninth grade.

When an injury sidelines him, I step up. Living with him will be easy. I can hide my feelings long enough to take care of him. Piece of cake.

Except he depends on me for everything. Every touch, every move he makes has butterflies swarming my stomach. I can't fall for him. Because he's my friend. And he doesn't see me as anything else.

But when his situation changes, and he sees me in a new light? Am I willing to risk everything to see if we'll be good together? Or will we always be destined to be just friends? What's a girl to do?

Flirty and swoony friends to lovers!

“Roughing the Kicker” is a flirty and feel good friends to lovers romance that is the perfect start to Emily Silver’s Denver Mountain series. .

Jackson is the star kicker for the Denver Mountain Lions but when he hurts his knee during a friendly game, he needs help with everyday things in life. His best friend, Tenley, is there at the drop of a hat to help him. The two have been best friends for years and Tenley has always had a crush on him. The close quarters and all the extra time together opens Jackson’s eyes to the future that he could have with Tenley.

I love that the first book of the new football series starts with the kicker. You always see books about the quarterbacks and it’s so great to see the kicker getting some love. I loved how seamlessly Jackson and Tenley’s relationship developed. It didn’t feel forced; it just felt so natural. Their chemistry was undeniable and absolutely sparked when they got together. Jackson was swoon worthy and I loved how passionate about football and Tenley. Tenley is just the sweetest and I want her to be my best friend. This was such a fun read and I can’t wait for the next book.

Rose Dioro and Teddy Hamilton narrated this audio and I loved listening to them together. Rose brought all of Tenley’s genuine and caring personality to life perfectly. I loved Teddy as Jackson, his narration was swoon worthy and that’s who Jackson is.
