About this listen

Sawyer Jackson, the NFL’s top tight end, can block, catch, and run a perfect route—straight into a willing lady’s sheets. But when he crosses paths with Broadway hopeful—and recently single—Kennedy Quinn at a destination wedding, he finds himself intrigued by the woman whose angelic voice cast a spell on him. Why else would he leave Puerto Rico with a new best friend and not another notch on his bedpost?

Three years later, Kennedy and Sawyer are closer than ever. Sawyer’s recent trade to the New York Cougars means they’ll finally live in the same city, and Kennedy dares to imagine a life with him beyond the constraints of platonic friendship. Unfortunately, Sawyer’s new quarterback is Kennedy’s cheating ex, but she’s over that now. Plus, she just signed with one of the top talent agents in the country, bringing her closer to her Broadway dreams.

But the bright lights of the city can hide people’s true intentions, and Sawyer and Kennedy will each need to learn that just because someone’s on your team doesn’t mean they’re on your side. With the terms of their relationship changing and with both of their dreams on the line, will Kennedy and Sawyer’s unconditional love be enough to overcome the challenges ahead?

Warning: The story contains explicit content and profanity. Recommended for 18+.

Good Friends To Lovers Sports Romance

"I've told you before. We’re kismet. Written in the stars, whatever you want to call it. It's you and me. Your mine. I'm yours.”

This follows Kennedy and Sawyer who are best friends after a night when Kennedy 21 walked in on her ex-boyfriend with another woman. Sawyer 25 is a professional NFL player who has a reputation for being a playboy in the press. They flirt, love each other's company and avoid the fact they have feelings for each other. Can Sawyer convince he has changed and is a reformed playboy?

This was a good read. I love their relationship and the flirty banter. I will say personally I found them avoiding feelings / talking about it due to what I like to call a lack of communication. This is not the miscommunication trope but I feel these characters just need to talk as 50% in we were still back and forth with yes, no and maybe. I feel it’s more character-driven plot with a little bit of plot on the side. It’s a slow burn and the spice was good. This book made me laugh and feel good while reading it but I think it’s a personal preference with the lack of communication it was driving me a bit crazy. I also listened to this on audible and I liked the narration.
