The Game

By: VI Keeland

Narrated by: Sebastian York, Andi Arndt

Length: 8 hrs and 49 mins

Publisher's Summary

A new, sexy standalone from number one New York Times best seller, Vi Keeland.

It started out like any other Tuesday.

I spent 12 hours writing algorithms for one of the largest companies in the world and then came home to work on a pet project of mine—feeding facts about the men I knew into a formula to find my perfect match before my twenties came barreling to a close.

But then a man knocked on my door and handed me some papers that turned my life upside down.

Apparently, a father I never knew existed had left me something in his will. That something turned out to be part ownership in a professional football team.

Next thing I knew, I was learning a sport I knew nothing about by spending time with the team’s quarterback who was out with an injury, a man who my formula would definitely determine was all wrong for me.

Christian Knox was too handsome and confident for his own good and could have any woman he wanted. Only lately the only woman he seemed to want was me.

But there was no way I was getting involved when I was now his boss, even if he was insanely gorgeous and had the dirtiest mouth I’d ever come across.

It would be wrong, wouldn’t it?

Probably. But you know what they say about things that are wrong...sometimes they feel so right.

What can I say? Great story.

Great way to start my year reading. The Game delivered a sweet, funny sport read with an amazing, strong heroine and a sexy, dirty talking hero and I’m here for it. The Game captured my full attention from page one, in true Vi Keeland’s writing style my heart rate was elevated, my face hurt from laughing and I’ve fallen in love with another fictional character.

Solid Read

If it’s a Vi Keeland book, I know it will be great. And it truly was a solid read. I love a good sports romance and I also love narration by York and Arndt. I read a lot of books and I’ve noticed a trend of authors continually trying harder and harder to create unique heroines. While I understand the need to get away from your run-of-the-mill female leads, the basics of those characters generally work for many reasons. In a male lead, I want sexy and swoony among other things. We certainly get that here. Our heroine is a beautiful geek. Nothing wrong with that. In fact, there’s not really anything technically wrong with this MFC other than trust issues, and given her past, she has every right to have those issues. My only complaint is that there was nothing about her that really resonated with me. I didn’t connect. She was just a pretty nerd/numbers geek who never had a relationship but had a past of no strings relationships/encounters. She didn’t have any real passions other than her math. She was quite boring (to me). She didn’t come across as a Tom boy but wasn’t really girlie. She was luke warm in all the ways, personality wise. The hero had to work just to find something physical or healthy she might enjoy. Her only friend was a guy from college. Just a person not really living. Otherwise, the story was cute and sweet, albeit a little slow moving. I liked the “family is who you choose” and not necessarily your blood theme throughout. I liked that there were spicy scenes but the story did not lean too heavily on $ex. The hero was hawt, patient, successful, compassionate and all the things. Spectacular narration. I adored the epilogue. Even though the heroine wasn’t my favorite, I would still choose to read/listen in hindsight.

Wow, this was an amazing story. Vi Keeland writing is amazing and will captivate you from the first word.
The narrators, Sebastian York and Andi Arndt, are my favorite. Their voices were perfect for this story.

Prediction #1 within a week

Vi Keeland, Andi Arndt, Sebastian York!!! The name combination should say it all! This book is amazing! A must read! I predict will be #1 within a week!

Love Andi and Sebastian!

This was a good listen. I enjoyed it and had a few surprised gasps along the way.

Great story

Vi Keeland has done it again with a wonderful story and characters. Listening to Andi Arndt and Sebastian York is a bonus for me.

Amazing!!

This was a fantastic story!! Definitely one of my favorite Vi Keeland books! A must read, for sure!! 💜

That’s how u Pursue🤤🥵🥰

For starters… this author is auto click 4 me. I also subscribe to her mailing list so I know when she releases a book written solely or collaborating with my other fav author Penelope Ward. Moreover, this book had all the feels😍 I loved the several comical moments, the heartfelt ones that made u feel a little melancholy, but overall I fell in love with the way Christian persued Bella. It was so genuine and consistent. I was smiling and feeling things as if he was speaking to me. It was hot and there were more descriptive sex scenes than I typically think Ms. Keeland usually portrays in her books and I was totally here 4 it! I always thought it should be more explicit sexy times, but it never took away from any her books because nonetheless because you get so engrossed in the story playing out. This is a 10 out of 10 must buy then recommend.

Loved everything about The Game

It wouldn’t be the New Year without a Vi Keeland release and once again she has hit the ball out of the park with Bella and Christian’s entertaining journey. I was captivated from the moment I picked The Game up and there was no putting it down until the final word had been read.
Sebastian York and Andi Arndt did a wonderful job bringing the characters and their story to life. The banter was spot on and they had my ears burning with the scorching chemistry that came through my headphones.
Bella and Christian couldn’t be more opposite, she is a nerdy homebody who is more at home with computers than attending NFL games but when she mistakes star quarterback Christian Knox for a pizza delivery boy life gets real interesting…..
Christian lives life to fullest, he plays a game he loves and he normally has woman falling at his feet but Bella is not like any other woman he has come across and that only makes him want her more.
This book has all the feels, I laughed, I smiled, I swooned and I found myself cheering this couple on. The chemistry is scorching hot, the banter is witty and at times hilarious but it was watching this couple go from friends to lovers that took this read to another level. So I urge you all to one click this sweet, fun gem of a read.

Loved this audio book!!!

I love Vi Keeland’s books and this one goes to the top of her pile of novels. This has slow burn and buildup and I loved the characters. Opposites but they compliment each other. Interesting story with a twist of a mystery and how blood does not always make a family, love does.

LOVED!

I really loved this storyline! Such a lovely listen. Andi and Sebastian are my two favourites to narrate. Vi Keeland does it again !

Quite good Vi Keeland's book

Let me start with the obvious stuff - performance by Andi Arndt and Sebastian York is as always top notch, they make the book much better.

As for the story itself, it is quite fresh thing from Vi Keeland. In this book she abandoned the theme, which you could see in many of her older books, where she wastes a significant part of story on some old past trauma of one characters. There's none of that here - we have FMC with baggage and two people figuring here and now on how to be together when some unfinished business from the past makes appearance. Overall it a very pleasant and light read, as you've come to expect from the author.
