About this audiobook
Charming, confident Gabe is practically a god to Seattle soccer fans, but he doesn't mind a little friendly competition from tough-as-nails Lainey, with her top-notch athletic skills, her mile-long legs, and her girl-next-door freckles. But when he learns the Falcons are booting the Surge from their coveted practice space to the notoriously cursed Cricket Field, those warm feelings give way to crippling superstition. With his contract up for renewal and his thirty-fourth birthday just weeks away, Gabe will risk anything to protect his position with the Surge.
Contains mature themes.
Sara Rider
Growing up, Sara Rider dreamed of becoming a professional soccer player. When that dream was squashed by her extreme dislike of running, she decided to do the next best thing: write about professional soccer players. By day, Sara spends her time working in the field of research ethics and daydreams about plotlines and character arcs. She spends far too much time at public libraries and never leaves the house without a paperback or an e-reader stuffed into her purse.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This was overall a pretty sweet if forgettable story. Lots of soccer - both characters are professional. Some immature antics I wasn't quite sold on as funny, but a pretty nice romance underneath. A strong ending, sagging middle, and intriguing and easy-to-read beginning round out the 3-a lot of the writing was tedious. I will definitely look to this author for uncomplicated romance. I give it about a 2.75, but I'm rounding up.
