It’s another sports interstitial! We’re talking sports, balls & sports balls with the brilliant Jessica Luther, sports romance lover, podcaster, and author of Unsportsmanlike Conduct: College Football and the Politics of Rape and Loving Sports When They Don't Love You Back: Dilemmas of the Modern Fan. Everyone came to this one with their own strategy, so we’re talking everything from beach volleyball to hockey, surfing to F1. Of course, we talk about Beckham, but surprisingly, we don’t even say Jurgen Klopp one time.

S06.09: Sports Romance with Jessica Luther

[awonderfulworldofwords2]

As the best running back in the league, I have no shortage of women wanting my attention. And I’ve eaten that up since being drafted to the Boston Blizzard…until now. Ever since I met Dia Spencer, I haven’t been able to focus on anyone else. When we find ourselves outside a Vegas wedding chapel while celebrating the biggest win of my career, I shoot my shot and end up married for a night to the girl of my wettest dreams. But when I get the chance to keep her as my wife a little longer, I have to figure out a way to convince her to stay forever.

What to expect:

🏈 Vegas Marriage

🩵 Golden Retriever x Black Cat

🏈 Football Player MMC

🩵 He falls first and hard

🏈 Forced Proximity

Run Game (Boston Blizzard Series Book 2) forced proximity, fake marriage sports romance by C.L. Rose is LIVE!

Hidden Games (Hallowed Saints University) College Sports Romance by Brandy Silver is Live

I’ve lost everything… but now the reigning king on campus threatens to destroy what's left.

After tragedy strikes, a scholarship to Hallowed Saints University could be my salvation.

As the poor scholarship student among the rich and privileged, my plan is simple.

Ace senior year.

Don’t get noticed.

And steer clear of Carter Grisham.

With his smoldering gaze, NFL-bound talent, and senator father, Carter is untouchable.

And he’s convinced that I blackmailed my way into HSU.

One misstep into his path and sparks ignite--revealing secrets we've both tried to keep from everyone.

REVIEW

Shameless Play by Kelly Finley

Have you ever thought about that person you did not date but flirted with and teased, perhaps played back and forth pranks on and with, and fantasized about often? If he suddenly appeared, you were both unencumbered with significant others, and could have one sizzling night to enjoy guilt-free fantasy fulfillment with …what would you do?

Well, Blair and Beau decided that their college what-ifs were going to get a chance to see what they were missing and then they would say goodbye like mature adults and never see one another again. They are adults with goals and can’t let love take hold… RIGHT…that one night may end up having a bigger impact than they thought it could. No, not an unexpected baby but a feeling that won’t be easy to quench with anyone else…if it can be quenched at all.

This was a novella length introduction to what may be a duology or series that I really want to read. Will Beau the professional football player and Blair the indie author find a way to be together without having to give up their dreams? I can’t wait to find out in Shameless Game!

Did I enjoy this book? Yes

Would I read more by this author? Definitely!

Writing: drew me in, made me care, and steamed up my glasses

Fantasies: Oh my! Had me googling to look a few things up

Heat Level: Scorching

Next book coming out: Make Him with Luca Mercier the hotel chain owner and Dom

Thank you to the author for the ARC – this is my honest review.

5 Stars

BLURB

Shameless Play: A Enemies To Lovers Sports Romance Novella

I just lost the Super Bowl — but tonight, I’ll win her.

Blair Monroe has always been off-limits. In college, I dated her best friend, while Blair and I were total opposites according to those romance books she always read. She hated football, and secretly, I loved that about her. So the pranks we played were legendary, the tension between us intoxicating.

Blair was an epic tease I could never win.

Until one night, we confessed our secrets, our guilty attraction. We never did anything about it... and we never spoke again.

But this Valentine’s night, when the only romantic company is my right hand, fate sends me stumbling into Blair at an adult store. And now the game we've waited eight years to play is finally ON. I want her to clean up the mess she made of my heart, and she wants to show me what dirty really is.

Who can out-tempt the other? It's the forbidden game we've agreed to play for one night only.

I don't do girlfriends, and Blair doesn't do love.

Or so we thought.

Playing by the Rules by Monica Murphy is now live!

Camden Fields is the star quarterback of our college football team.

Quiet.

Smart.

Absolutely gorgeous.

He's the man all the women on campus rave about. And while he's had a few casual hookups over the years, it's never anything serious. Cam doesn't do serious.

He also doesn't do me.

See, I'm his best friend's little sister, and whenever we're around each other, he's always warning me that I'm off limits. That nothing can ever happen between us.

But I see the way he looks at me when he thinks I'm not watching. The heat in his gaze. The hunger. He can deny it, but that man wants me.

I want him too.

I'm tired of always being the good girl and doing what everybody expects. For once, I'm going to break all the rules that have restrained me my entire life.

I'm going after Camden Fields.

And no one can stop me.

My Review

5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Holy hotness alert!! This book was so freaking fantastic I had a hard time putting it down! Get ready for a whole lot of sweet, a whole lot of sizzling heat, and a whole lot of angst in this brother’s best friend sports romance. I fell hard for these characters, and I found myself swooning hard, as these two characters sneak their way into my heart. A hot rollercoaster of a ride.

Blair Maguire is in love with a man who knows she exist, but chooses to ignore her which really hurts even more. But now that she has transferred to Colorado University after two years at a community college she is going all in on getting the man of her dreams. Because she has seen the way he looks at her when he thinks she isn’t looking. And she is not giving up without a fight.

Camden Fields is the hot shot quarterback, and best friend to Knox Maguire, Blair’s over protective big brother. He is a love them and leave them type of guy. Definitely not into relationships, after being front and center for his own parents’ disaster of a marriage. He is in the home stretch of his college career and hoping to get drafted at the end of the year. But what he didn’t count on was Blair! Because although he knows she is strictly off limits, he didn’t count on her persistence and the feelings he has whenever she is near.

“Kissing her felt like coming home, and if that isn’t some sappy $hit, I don’t know what is. But it’s true. “

Monica Murphy is at the top of my auto-buy list, and Playing By The Rules is the perfect example why. From the very first page she sucked me in with a story that crackles with sensual energy and characters that are scarred, sexy and wonderfully compelling! One of my top reads of the year!!!

I received a early copy and this is my honest review.

Alphas only want one thing. Omegas…

The issue? I refuse to have an overbearing alphahole control my life—much less an entire pack.

Leading my cheer squad to a Nationals victory is my sole focus. Along with proving that Omegas are more than fragile little creatures whose only purpose is to be bred.

The ability to take a knot isn’t going to define me. Screw that.

So, when a sexy pack of Alpha Ballers snatches my practice space, I won’t stand for it—even if my inner Omega is thrilled with their attention.

But scolding Dash, Ty and Fox sends my whole life cartwheeling out of control. It’s the absolute worst timing…

A steamy, forbidden one-night stand, ex’s sister, football romance from USA Today Best-seller MJ Fields

Before starting my NFL career, I flew into the city closest to the town I’d call home. I booked a room, went out to grab a bite, and ended up talking football with the locals, who had no clue who I was. Oh yeah, and I had a few too many drinks. As the night wore on, everything became a little bit blurry. Deciding to use the men’s room before grabbing a ride back to the hotel to catch some ZZZs, the door to the stall behind me swung open and a chick with an SU ball cap on, barely containing her wild, dark locks, stepped out, glanced down at my junk, and said, “That will work.” My response? “You sure about that?” It worked. Of course, it worked. I’ve never had a problem making it … work. Even after finding out she was related to the owners of the New York Knights, there wasn’t a problem. We agreed it was no big deal. I didn’t even take offense to what that could have meant south of the border, either. The problem arose when I met her sister. They look alike, but they couldn't be any different. And no, it’s not what you’re thinking. I don’t have a sisters fantasy or some sick shit like that, and I’ve never been, and never will be, the guy who falls in love. My heart just doesn’t work that way. The minute I met her fiancé, I knew he wasn’t the kind of guy who deserves to marry a girl like Riley Mae Brooks. Everyone around her knows it, too, but they’re not doing a damn thing to stop it. So, why do I feel like I have to?

Knoxville Coyotes rookie, West Crawford, is a celebrated, lightning-fast football god on the field. Off the field? He’s my ex-boyfriend and greatest heartache.

I didn’t think long-distance would break us when West was drafted to Tennessee, and I was called home to Paris for a family emergency. But it did.

Fast-forward six months and West is playing in the Superbowl, I’m rooting for him to win, and our worlds re-collide.

Celebrating West’s success is supposed to be a one-night, free-for-all that ends with closure. Instead, it births a new beginning. Literally.

I’m having a baby with my ex, our lives are still thousands of miles apart, and nothing has changed. I mean, except the obvious.

Between West’s flourishing career, my familial responsibilities abroad, and a positive pregnancy test that surprises us both, our relationship is bound to be sacked before it has the chance to soar.

From L.J. Shen, the USA Today bestselling author of Pretty Reckless, comes a brand new book in the All Saints series.

Underneath the goody two-shoes persona is damaged goods…but can the bad boy across the street save her?

Bailey Followhill is the perfect daughter. Sweet. Charitable. Pretty. Control freak. Not a hair out of place, not an inch out of line, she is everything her troublemaking sister Daria isn't. But when her A game turns out to be a lukewarm C- at Juilliard, Bailey's picture-ready life starts fraying faster than the worn satin ribbons of her pointe shoes. She's becoming a piece of gossip. The Troubled Child. A drug abuser. No longer the girl her best friend once knew.

Lev Cole is so golden, he's got the Midas Touch. Prized quarterback. Football captain. Hottest guy in SoCal. A textbook cliché. But with a girlfriend he doesn't love and a career path he doesn't value, Lev is coasting. The only two things he cares about, Bailey and becoming a pilot, are out of reach.

But Lev is done being satisfied with the life others have chosen for him. He wants to pick his own cards. To demolish the seamless kingdom of lies his family stitched together on the ruins his mother left behind.

The question is, can he save his best friend and his dream before too much damage is done? Start the All Saints High series today! https://amzn.to/3GYpbhk
