by Jaci Burton

Tatiana Sokolov (Narrator)

In the new Play-By-Play novel by the New York Times bestselling author of Unexpected Rush, a football player who knows how to win on the field needs a better game plan for his love life.

A defensive end for the San Francisco Sabers, Flynn Cassidy is used to being in the spotlight—he just doesn’t enjoy it. But if getting in front of the cameras will help his new restaurant succeed, he’s willing. Now if he could just meet a woman who loved him and not his fame…
 
After her divorce, Amelia Lawrence is thrilled to start over as head chef at Ninety-Two. It’s just the opportunity she needs to heat up her career—if only she wasn’t wildly attracted to her sexy new boss. Their chemistry might be sizzling hot, but Amelia has no intention of being burned again.
 
Flynn can’t get enough of Amelia, and Amelia loves every second she spends with the tough yet tender Flynn. But trust is a hard-fought battle for both. Breaking the rules of contact and surrendering to their passion was the easy part. Are they willing to risk their hearts to win at the game of love?

Reviews

[Sam@WLABB]

You know what's great about driving from North Carolina to NJ? You get to listen to this whole audiobook while crossing state lines.

It's good to see that these books got their groove back. The last book had fallen a little flat for me, but this was reminded me why I love this series. I was immediately team Flynn. He was charming and sweet and I really wanted him to get the girl. I was quite disappointed in him, when he did the jumping to conclusions thing, but he made up for it with all those grand-ish gestures.

One of my favorite things about this series are the family ties. In this book, we have lots of appearances from the Cassidy siblings, and we even get to celebrate a holiday. All that time on the ranch made me really happy. Burton writes these awesome families, and I enjoy spending time with them. It was very heartwarming, and I thought it was special that they were so receptive to Amelia, welcoming her in with open arms, and giving her something that she sort of always longed for.

This one was fairly low drama, and I was ok with that. Less drama meant more time with friends, family, and with Flynn and Amelia just getting to know each other better.

Overall: Another great Play-by-Play book, which left me dying for Nathan and Mia's story!!!
