The Wrong Play: A Football Romance

The Wrong Player Series, Book 2

By: C.R. Jane

Narrated by: Lucas Webley, Alexis Paige

An obsessive football player pursues a girl with airtight defenses in USA Today–bestselling author C.R. Jane's scorcher of a sequel to The Wrong Quarterback.

Jace Thatcher musthave her. Ever since he laid eyes on Riley, the Tennessee Tigers' star wide receiver has been consumed by the thought of making her his—possessing her, body and soul.

But Riley isn't a game to be won. She has scars that run deep, and a past that's never too far behind her. Riley's looking for a clean start when the cocky football player enters her life. His dangerously seductive grin has her feeling weak in the knees, blowing past the carefully crafted defenses she's built to keep her from making the same mistakes all over again.

Their hot and heavy encounter leaves Riley desperate for more—but falling for Jace might just be the worst play of her life. There's no point in running, though, because Jace will go the extra yard to get what he wants.

Narrated in duet style.

🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧 Narration

I thought I loved Parker & Casey, but they don’t compare to how much I love Jace & Riley. I went through a divorce earlier this year and I cannot tell you how much I needed an MMC like Jace. I cannot tell C.R. how much this statement, “For the ones who were told to stay quiet, who were kept in the shadows, who were made to feel like secrets instead of something sacred. This is for you— You deserve a Jace Thatcher” and how much this couple has meant to me on a personal level.

I know when a book hits so hard that you imagine yourself, as the FMC. Wishing and hoping you end up with an MMC like theirs. What I love so much about C.R.’s books are that the MMC ALWAYS falls first. And for me in my life it’s exactly what I need. Her MMC’s never disappoint, and boy did Jace exceed every expectation I had for him in his own book. He’s funny, charismatic and doesn’t know the meaning of the word no. And just like Parker he’s in it to win it. And the humor. OMG! His humor is EVERYTHING. Calling Parker and Matty, his bestilicious bros had me cackling from the first use. I loved it so much I renamed my book besties Facebook chat this, lol. It seriously makes me laugh every SINGLE time. And don’t get me started on Riley. She was the absolute perfection of Jace’s craziness. I think that’s the other thing I like. The FMC & MMC always manage to balance each other out.

Like with The Wrong Quarterback I listened to this one in tandem while reading and of course Lucas & Alexis killed it. I seriously just want to listen to all of Alexis’s narrations. She’s that good.

If you haven’t yet checked this series out it’s an absolutely must! This one is one of my top reads of the year and I cannot WAIT for Matty’s book.

4.5 stars

the audio of these books is amazing! I love hearing the banter between the characters and the unhinged thoughts brought to life!

Loved this

This is a great series. I love the way the men love their females. The narrators were awesome! It hits all the marks for me.

Entertaining a dark romantic comedy at it's fines

C.R. Jane does such a great job balancing darker back stories and unhinged behavior from our MMCs with comedic dialog and character personalities.

Jace reminds me so much of Ari who in the pucking wrong series was my favorite. The humor and banter between Jace his brother and his friends was fantastic and had me laughing out loud. As I listened to this book as an audio, it makes me want to revisit the pucking wrong series this time via audio. I have a feeling it's going to be a great time!

The narrators here did a great job expressing the emotions and bringing their characters to life. Lucas Webley also did a fantastic job changing his voice for the different male characters in the book.

I'm looking forward to Matty's book as well as Jagger's to continue to explore the characters in this world.
