About this listen
The headline could write itself: Matthew Hawkins, star defensive end, comes out of retirement to play for the Washington Wolves. Which is perfectly fine by Ava Baker - it makes her job as publicist for the team easier.
There are only two problems. This particular football player was her first crush. The bigger problem: Matthew Hawkins was once engaged to her older sister.
It's been 10 years since Ava has seen Matthew. He's bigger, better looking, and best of all - completely single. Despite his history with her sister, the attraction between Ava and Matthew isn't so one-sided anymore. It's hot enough to burn down the entire city of Seattle.
But this headline is far more complicated to write. And not just for the press or what it means for her family - because once her heart is involved, there's no predicting the ending.
Contains mature themes.

Story
Allie Sutton just got a new job. Not one she wants, and definitely not one she's prepared for. She hadn't seen her dad in years, so the last thing she expects upon his sudden death is to inherit the thing he loved more than anything (or anyone)...the professional football team he owned for the last 20 years. Luke Pierson does not want a new boss. What he wants is to be a good father to his daughter, the best quarterback possible for his teammates. What he doesn't need is a blonde bombshell ruining the team's chances at another championship.

Rule number one for the team owner’s daughter? Don’t date the players. Especially not hotheaded tight ends with tattoos and impulse-control problems. That’s why Dominic Walker is completely off my radar. Sort of. Babysitting the team troublemaker when he’s forced to volunteer for the foundation where I work means I can’t exactly avoid him. I wish I had though. Because once I get to know Dominic, it’s almost impossible to ignore the feelings he brings out in me. Pretty soon, I’m breaking all my rules. I just have to hope he doesn’t break my heart in the process.

If you've ever seen your teenage crush 10 years later, and he turns out to be a complete jerk, then you know how Molly Ward feels. The last time she saw Noah Griffin was the regrettable day that she decided to climb into his bedroom window and turn her unrequited crush into something more. That day was bad enough, but things are about to get worse. Noah has become one of the best football players in the country, and he's just landed on Molly's front step.

Story
Have you ever fake dated your bodyguard? I don't recommend it. Especially if he's anything like Erik Wilder: Former football player, world class know-it-all and unapologetic grump. To be clear, I didn't want a bodyguard (hence the fake dating idea). Most days, I can’t figure out why he wants the job either. We drive each other insane, probably because we’re as opposite as two people can be. He’s suspicious, never talks about his past and has the comfort skills of a cactus. I’m a happily-ever-after kind of girl who knows exactly what she wants out of life.

Marrying Beckett Coleman is the best idea I've had in years. I can grant my sick dad’s wish to walk one of his daughters down the aisle, and Beckett has my help solving a custody situation with his daughter. Our plan is to spend a year together, then part ways. Easy, especially since I'm not his type, and he's not mine either. He’s too quiet and too serious. And while he’s distractingly gorgeous, he’s also my brother’s teammate. Beckett is fake husband material, not the real deal. I just have to remember that.

I'm Levi Buchanan, and until five years ago, I thought the legend of my family's curse was a load of crazy, Southern nonsense. No curse can make you fall in love at first sight. No curse can force a true, deep, passionate, all-consuming love that will haunt you all the days of your life. Then I met Jocelyn Abernathy and I realized how completely wrong I was. The problem is, Jocelyn guards her feelings like well-armed soldier. She's the most beautiful, stubborn, infuriating woman I've ever met. Every time she talks, I want to kiss the living daylights out of her. But I can't.

It was supposed to be the best day of my life. But the second I got up, things started to fall apart. The kitchen just caught on fire. Flowers were from a funeral. My bride-to-be just had an allergic reaction, leaving by ambulance. Oh, and my ex-girlfriend just walked into the church. They say you have to see the signs when they are right in front of you. Maybe she was just mine to have.

Rule number one for the team owner’s daughter? Don’t date the players. Especially not hotheaded tight ends with tattoos and impulse-control problems. That’s why Dominic Walker is completely off my radar. Sort of. Babysitting the team troublemaker when he’s forced to volunteer for the foundation where I work means I can’t exactly avoid him. I wish I had though. Because once I get to know Dominic, it’s almost impossible to ignore the feelings he brings out in me. Pretty soon, I’m breaking all my rules.

Our plan is to spend a year together, then part ways. Easy, especially since I'm not his type, and he's not mine either. He’s too quiet and too serious. And while he’s distractingly gorgeous, he’s also my brother’s teammate. Beckett is fake husband material, not the real deal. I just have to remember that.

I'm Levi Buchanan, and until five years ago, I thought the legend of my family's curse was a load of crazy, Southern nonsense. No curse can make you fall in love at first sight. No curse can force a true, deep, passionate, all-consuming love that will haunt you all the days of your life. Then I met Jocelyn Abernathy and I realized how completely wrong I was. The problem is, Jocelyn guards her feelings like well-armed soldier. She's the most beautiful, stubborn, infuriating woman I've ever met. Every time she talks, I want to kiss the living daylights out of her. But I can't.

Story
It’s an unwritten rule somewhere: small-town librarians shall not commit spontaneous acts, for fear of mortal embarrassment. I’d certainly just proved it true, though hiring an escort was perfectly logical. How else should I overcome my fear of intimacy without risking heartbreak? Unfortunately, what came next wasn’t so logical. Instead of a dating coach, Griffin King showed up. Yes, that Griffin King: my childhood neighbor and now, to my dismay, an obscenely handsome pro football player. He’s not actually an escort, but how was I supposed to know that?

Without her, I was better off. I knew it the second she walked away and realized how much happier I was. Knew it the day I interrupted her wedding reception to show her what she was missing and locked eyes with someone I hadn't seen in years. Those eyes. Her smile. Everything about her turned something around inside me that had been quiet for years.

I've never been in love. I've never had an orgasm, but I've faked plenty. I want to experience love. Real, passionate love. I don't want to die. It's funny what blurts out of your mouth when the plane you're on is going down, and I didn't hold back with my seat mate when my plane decided to crash. My hysterical confessions didn't faze the muscular stranger that sat beside me. In fact, he promised if we survived, he'd give me my first orgasm.

Fun and Swoony
This book was so fun and so swoony. I found myself getting really mad at Ava's parents and sister until the very end, but I just loved how supportive Matthew was. Their story was so sweet and just perfect.

Football Romance! Fantastic Audiobook
The narration for this book was spot on - they both portrayed the characters emotions and inner thoughts perfectly. Teddy was excellent as Matthew- I could imagine him both in the locker room or in the bedroom with Ava. And Lucy brought sophistication and class to Ava - I felt her pain and heartache like she was in the car with me.
The Story:
There is nothing better than sports romance - and I am not even a diehard sports fan outside of reading! This book highlighted why I love the genre, there is just something about the dedication and heart of sports players that makes me love them and everything surrounding them. So when you throw in a juicy detail like the hero being the sisters ex-fiancé - I am salivating to sink my teeth into the story and fall in love.
Matthew Hawkins was not ready to be done with Football- but his life long team was done with him- opting for younger,
uninjured replacements. So when the Washington Wolves are willing to take a chance on him - the last thing he expects to find in the front office is his ex-fiancés little sister. Always having a soft spot for her, the sexy, take no bull, vixen, who half the team is scared of, is not what he expected. Ava Baker loves her job, loves her team but anything involving her family is a painful, torturous event she’d rather avoid. So when Matthew waltzes into her office, surrounds her in a giant bear hug, she’s knows she is screwed and the wall she had built up around her heart doesn’t stand a chance.
The chemistry and past history between Matthew and Ava leads to some difficult situations and some sizzling moments as well but I loved every minute of it. I seriously needed a giant hug from Matthew as well to make it through certain scenes. I feel like a hug from a giant man like him could solve any problem. And Ava - her family always made her feel like second best and she let that dictate her actions- just like they wanted. I was glad to see her finally stand up to them and make her voice and opinions known - she is a powerful, important woman and didn’t deserve to be overlooked. I got chills reading the final chapter- I love when it all comes together and plays out like I hoped. 5 Stars for me!

Sports Romance Dream book
I loved the second book in this series, Ava and Matthew’s friends to lovers story played out so well in this book. Ava had some SMH head moments and I definitely felt Matthews heartbreak, held out for the HEA and it was worth it. Teddy Hamilton and Lucy Rivers together always makes for a great book. Sorensen is becoming one of my favorite authors. Use a credit on this one!

Amazing story and excellent narration performances!!
I really enjoyed Matthew’s and Ava’s surprising reunion, the revelation of their past connection, and the myriad of complications that arise when Ava is torn between her newfound love and the expectations of her dysfunctional and highly judgmental family. I was drawn to both characters from the start as Matthew comes out of retirement to play the final years of his career with the Washington Wolves where Ava is thrown by the arrival of her sister’s ex-fiancé who was her teenage crush. I was enamored with Matthew’s easy going, protective nature and applauded Ava’s feisty and exuberant confidence as their newfound chemistry leads to the sharing of their emotional vulnerabilities and a passion that is all consuming. When past and present collide, Matthew and Ava’s amazing connection is tested and I enjoyed every minute of their unfolding story because of the excellent vocal acting performances of Lucy Rivers and Teddy Hamilton.
