Summary

Can a football superstar fall for the girl next door?

When the NFL goes on strike, Super Bowl champion Peyton O'Rourke ends up back in his hometown as a substitute teacher and high school football coach. The one thing he didn't count on? Maddy Cooper being newly single. She's the hot-girl-next-door type. Literally. She's literally the cute girl next door and his best friend's (now ex) girl. And even though he knows he should be with anyone other than Maddy Cooper - well, you know the drill.

Things are going to get hot. Heavy. Does Facebook still have an "It's complicated" button? Because it's about to go down.

awesome story

Wow, this is wonderful, I had already read this story and thought it was great, but to listen to it has taken it to a different level, the narration by Sebastian and CJ was awesome and made me want to listen, they brought the characters to life.

Lovely story

Maddie & Eric were together throughout school until he broke it off unexpectedly to travel. Payton has returned to his home town to visit his grandma temporary after his football team went on strike. The two have a chemistry she wasn't sure she was !ooking for. I loved that Payton knew what he wanted & was showing Maddie not just to accept things and to look for more.
The audio narration was fabulous I really enjoyed the flow of the words and found it so easy to listen to.

Five stars beautifully read

What a book, fantastically read by Sebastian York (his voice) swoon moment, and CJ Bloom love the accent. Their voices are very clear and you can understand what they are saying. They fit the part well. They bring the characters to life.About the story. Maddy Cooper lives in a small town and is a teacher, Payton O'Rourke plays football. When the NFL goes on strike he moves back into town, and takes a job at the school while also coaching. As you can imagine things start to heat up. While Payton tries to withhold Maddy's advance's, Maddy pushes all of his buttons. The characters are very loveable, with plenty of chemistry. Definitely worth a listen.

not your typical sports romance

I thought this would be a typical sports romance (a genre I'm not a huge fan of /I have read or listened to many ) but this is not that ! it has some brief moments in regards to the NFL and Peyton being a 'superstar' but it is so much more ! the romance between him and Maddy the fact its kind of forbidden thanks to her dads dislike of him and the fact he took over her classroom ! but the story just leaves you wanting so much more ! absolutely loved it , the narrators are great anyway and were perfect for their roles

Flirty, Sexy, Sweet

I loved and found this sport romance an easy listen. Peyton and Maddie are two characters that make you feel like you are in their story.
I love their banter and had a few laughs.
Sebastian York is one of my too favourite audiobook narrator and delivers this perfectly with CJ bloom.
4.5 over all stars.

Loved it

Is there anything better than a romance novel from a male author, I love their input. I also loved the awkward moments at the start as the main characters interacted and just watching as they developed their relationship. I especially loved that although it’s a sports romance it wasn’t over the top with the sports references.

A solid 5 stars I just wish I could give it more stars. The narrators really pushed it to the next stage.
