Football Romance
He’s the pro athlete everyone wants to be.
Quarterback Trey Van Horn didn’t become the league’s MVP by accident. Years of self-discipline and iron-clad control have made him the envy of everyone in and around the game of football. But when he comes face-to-face with the one who got away, his tightly managed life is turned upside down. Now he’ll do whatever it takes to score the greatest comeback of his life.
She’s tired of being every guy’s doormat.
London Headley is on the verge of having the career she’s always dreamed of. Too bad the path to her promotion runs through the guy who broke her heart a decade earlier. So what if everything about the Milwaukee Growlers QB sets her panties on fire? She’s determined to keep things professional. Life has taught her that men will always choose something—or someone—over her. It’s going to take more than a Hail Mary to get her to buy into the fairy tale.
The only problem? Her lips don’t seem to want to follow the game plan. Not when Trey is executing an all-out blitz to prove he’s worth a second chance.

This book was an addictive football romance about the one that got away.
Tracy Solheim is a great storyteller. I was drawn into the story straight away with the easygoing writing style and the compelling storyline.
The characters were relatable and easy to root for. They were fleshed out and felt distinct with voices that stood apart. The character development was executed well. The secondary characters really brought everything together and gave the story depth.
The romance was a slow-burn second chance that felt very genuine. There were so many emotions involved and Solheim did a fantastic job of evoking them to great effect. Trey and London start out unhappy to be working with the other when their jobs push them together but their chemistry ends up stealing the show and making them think otherwise.
Overall, this was a winning second-chance sports romance that was entertaining and heartwarming. I will be on the frontlines for the next sports romance release from this author!

USA Today bestselling author Tracy Solheim writes books with shirtless men on the cover. Some of them are actually best-sellers. The books, not the men. When she's not writing, she's practicing her curling. . . bottles of wine, that is. She's been known to cook dinner but no more than two nights in a row. Most days, she'd rather be reading, which to her is just necessary research. She lives in the suburbs of Atlanta with her husband and a neurotic Labrador retriever. Her two adult children visit but not often enough. (See the note above about cooking.) Check out her romantic suspense series featuring the Men of the Secret Service--shirtless, of course!
