Marlee thought she scored the man of her dreams only to be scorched by a bad breakup. But there's a new player on the horizon, and he's in a league of his own...
Marlee Harper is the perfect girlfriend. She's definitely had enough practice by dating her NFL-star boyfriend for the last ten years. But when she discovers he has been tackling other women on the sly, she vows to never date an athlete again. There's just one problem: Gavin Pope, the new hotshot quarterback and a fling from the past, has Marlee in his sights.
Gavin fights to show Marlee he's nothing like her ex. Unfortunately, not everyone is ready to let her escape her past. The team's wives, who never led the welcome wagon, are not happy with Marlee's return. They have only one thing on their minds: taking her down. But when the gossip makes Marlee public enemy number one, she worries about more than just her reputation.
Between their own fumbles and the wicked wives, it will take a Hail Mary for Marlee and Gavin's relationship to survive the season.

Super funny and sexy!
I enjoyed this book very much.
I do feel like the female lead faced TOO many back to back struggles BUT nonetheless its filled with hilarious banter and yummy football players.
Takes me back to watching Basetball wives or something! Cant wait to see it on TV hopefully soon!

This is one of the rare romance novels that gets better in the second half (just like football!). My honest rating would be two stars for the first half and 4 stars for the second half of the book. So hang in there if you’re not loving it!
At first the main character is just picked on at every turn, and it’s just the non-stop tension of her constantly having to defend herself, surrounded by mostly terrible people. Not very believable (but then again, unlike the author, I know nothing about the cattiness of NFL wives, so it may well be accurate) and really uncomfortable.
But as the main character builds her own life and gets involved with her main squeeze, the book picks up a lot of momentum and believability. Also, I really loved the MC. She could have been more developed, but she was human and smart and fun. I loved the growth she went through in the book, and how she learned to defend and make space for herself in a land of larger-than-life men. Unlike most reviewers, I loved the hashtags!! I thought they were clever and well-timed. A sweet, fun romp and I look forward to this writer’s next book!
