Publisher's summary

Lee f’ing Burrows

The Kingsmen’s star quarterback.
Legendary throwing arm.
Six-pack abs.
Kissable lips.

Oh, but don’t forget, he’s also a lying, heartless egomaniac who broke my heart in college.

It took me years to build myself back up after his deceit, and now I have the dream opportunity to prove myself working as a sports therapist for a professional team.

The hurdle? Or mountain to be more accurate…
The job is with the San Francisco Kingsmen.

Back when I was a naïve college girl, I felt lucky that he even noticed me. Now eight years later, he’d be lucky if I gave him the time of day.

Which I won’t. Not ever.

Some people don’t deserve a second chance and Lee Burrows is one of them.

Now if someone could only tell him that because he’s hell-bent on scoring the winning touchdown and won’t accept that it’s game over for us.

Be still my heart

This was so good! And Joe and Callie nailed the narration! Lee & Shayna where such between a rock and a hard place since they worked together and there was a no fraternization rule….. they had a hard past they got over but now to figure out how to get to the future!

Fmc is terrible

Fmc is terrible! Yes lee did things wrong but he did everything to prove he was sorry and that he learned with his mistakes. And she hold a grudge during all 8 years plus the entire book . Something bad happens and she freezes him out without remorse! No! She’s annoying

It’s Joe Arden reading! What else is there to know?

Ok, so even if the man read from a phone book, my knees would still go weak listening to him… The story is all right, she’s a bit too uptight for my taste, he really did everything in his power to try and make it right…

Great Start to the Series

I really enjoy the writing duo of Piper Rayne, and it's stories like this one that have me continuously reading their books. I did receive an ARC but since the audiobook was released early I purchased the audio and I am so glad that I did because Joe Arden and Callie Dalton did a phenomenal job with bringing Lee Burrows and Shayna Kudrow to life.

Lee and Shayna dated in College but it came to a screeching halt when Shayna found out Lee had made a bet with a teammate about getting Shayna into bed with him...guys should learn that women have a way of always finding things out and maybe they'd stop doing dumb things. Well, here we are eight years later and Shayna has just been hired on as one of the Kingsmen's trainers and Lee is their star quarterback.

I loved the fact that Lee has always thought about how he screwed things up and now he has a chance to redeem himself and possibly get a second chance but you know there are going to be obstacles in their way.

I would recommend this book to those that enjoy Steamy Sports Contemporary Romances, Enemies-to-Lovers Romance, Second Chance Romances, or Workplace Romances.

Happy Reading!!!

Amazing sports romance!

Loved this book/audio cant wait for more of the series to continue.
Great narrators to.

It’s okay

The story was alright, I’ve read a lot of Piper Rayne’s books but this one was just okay for me. I love the dual narration but I think Joe Arden as Lee, carried the entire book. It felt flat with Callie Dalton narrating Shayna.
3.5 Star for me

Perfect Sports Romance

Before proceeding to this review, turn around and check out the prequel, False Start, to the first installment of Piper Rayne's new series the "Kingsmen Football Stars." This book can be read as a standalone, but parts of the story will make more sense if the prequel is read first.

If you love second chances, enemies to lovers, secret relationships between a football star and a member of the team's staff, then you will love You've Had Your Chance, Lee Burrows. Shayna is the new athletic trainer for the San Francisco Kingsmen. She is ready to prove herself in primarily male dominated field despite the fact that the star quarterback is none other than her ex-boyfriend from college; Lee Burrows. Shayna is determined to hold onto her grudge for what he did to her but when he begins to show her how truly sorry he is everything changes.

Narrators Joe Arden and Callie Dalton light up listeners earbuds with this wonderful sports romance. These two gave me all the feels from beginning to end. Callie Dalton shines as the determined Shayna. She gave Shayna her all and tried her hardest to keep from falling for the ever so charming, Mr. Arden. I don't blame Shayna for not being able to stay mad at Lee Burrows. He dominant, growly, and has a heart of gold; all things that Joe Arden is. These two narrators were magic together.

Great start!

What a fun start to this new series. Even a subtle nod to the Greene family. 😊

I have seen this whole "forbidden love" within. a professional sports team a couple of times, but it was still fun to see Lee and Shayna's relationship grow.

Joe Arden was brilliant as always. Callie Dalton is new to me, but I really enjoyed her narration, I'll have to look for other books she's done. I hope the rest of the series continues to be duet narration, it just makes the relationship between characters even more developed.

A MUST to listen too!

Oh. My. Goodness. You won't want to miss one moment of this fantastic, laugh out loud, enemies to lovers romance. “You Had Your Chance, Lee Burrows” has combustible chemistry, sexual tension, angst, and is completely mesmerizing! The push and pull, and back and forth between these two is OFF THE CHARTS. I felt all of Shayna & Lee’s emotions; the happiness, the heartache, the fear and excitement, the longing, the hate AND their love for each other. This book is not to be missed!

Boring

I cannot tell you a single thing that happened in this book. It was a lot of pointless chatter that slowed the book down. I’ve read the prequel false start and I was very excited about this book and couldn’t wait to read it. But it kept putting me to sleep.
