About this listen

In this romantic-comedy novella, the sexiest player in the NFL and a small-town librarian prove that when opposites attract, their chemistry can be game changing.

Simone Thompson wakes up in a Vegas hotel suite to discover three things:

  • Her headache might kill her.
  • The guy spooned behind her isn't some random Vegas hookup...it's James Sumner, the NFL's bad-boy wide-receiver and her twin brother's teammate.
  • There's a ring on her finger - you know...the finger.

As part of a football family, Simone knows all about the game, the good, the bad and the ugly. That's why she joined her brother's trip to Vegas in the first place - to keep an eye on him, not to end up entangled with her crush. Her very out-of-her-league crush.

James has always had the hots for Simone, and now that they're married, he sees an opening to prove to her he's more than just a playboy and that they really do belong together. But if he's really going to win over his bookish princess, he'll need to execute the perfect play....

I enjoyed the story, it was cute, short and sweet. However, having both voices done by a female detracted a bit from the story for me.

A great short story that is fun and flirty!
Both Simone and James have been enamoured with one another in silence, but a chance encounter changes things. Does it mean that they'll finally get together or will insecurities stand in their way?...

Let me say...I started laughing from the beginning, which is rare. Liked this as hit the ground runnibg... by not taking 4 chapters to establish characters. If looking for typical romcom...move on. It is a romcom in reverse which is/was so refreshing...when the book ends... my smile and natural high has not. Definetly on my feel-good favourite re-read list.

Mildly funny,moderately clean but the ending/characters changing was too rushed & sudden at the end,wouldn't listen a 2nd time but was enjoyable for the most part.

I know it was listed as an novella 2hrs, but I wanted just a little bit more. Loved it nevertheless.

Short and sweet

A great short story with complex characters that touches on struggles that many of us have or will face at some point in our lives. Sports themed romance isn't usually my cup of tea but the balance in this one was well executed and I didn't feel like I was drowning under a mountain of it. I'm not a fan of two different points of view and alternating chapters which was the only negative for me, but that is just a personal preference and not a criticism of the book overall. A good solid read. .
