Luke has just found out that he is being promoted to head coach of the Reiner Renegades, has become the youngest coach in NFL history and has some huge shoes to fill so he heads to his home on Anderson Island for a much-needed break before the season begins. While out for his morning run he witnesses a woman crashes her bike and runs to see if he can help her. Dani is so frustrated when she wrecks her bike and her hands are all scraped up because now she's going to have issues with getting her novel finished. Luke offers her assistance with her injuries and bike which she takes him up on his offer. As they spend time together they get to know each other outside of the spotlight of their careers and fall for the person, not the celebrity. When their relationship goes viral in the media will it prove to be too much or will their Hail Mary attempt turn into a touchdown?
Making the Call was my first novel by Amanda Shelley and I enjoyed how she was able to capture my attention right from the first page of the novel and make me feel like I was part of the story. Luke and Dani are such an adorable, down to earth couple that had great chemistry right from their first meeting. I instantly fell in love with Luke and how humble and swoon-worthy he is and Dani is just hilarious when she gets flustered and starts on one of her rambling rants. The novel truly gives you a glimpse into behind the scenes of a coach and writer and will give you all the feels as you are reading. I would have finished this in one sitting had my e-reader not died as it was hard to put down. Making the Call is a contemporary sports romance that is written in the first-person point of view.
