Publisher Description
A new adult romance with sass, steam, and soccer.
What do you do when you encounter the famous footballer voted "Sexiest Athlete Alive" three years running on a soccer field in Germany?
If you're Saylor Scott, you challenge him to a shoot-out. And win.
Saylor's goals have always involved the literal kind constructed from posts and netting. Her single-minded focus has cost her a lot, but it's also earned her recognition as the top female college player in the US. She doesn't get attached, she never gets distracted, and she could care less what anyone thinks of her.
Meeting Adler Beck, the notorious player celebrated worldwide and coveted by women everywhere, challenges her indifference. But Saylor perfected the art of appearing unbothered a long time ago, and her scoring percentage is even higher off the pitch. Might as well add a gorgeous German to the tally.
Because only a fool would fall for a superstar known for breaking hearts alongside records.
And no one has ever accused Saylor Scott of being a fool.
Customer Reviews
Fantastic narration!
I enjoyed this cute, he falls first, secret friends with benefits, insta love, soccer romance. The characters specifically, the heroine, were really relatable. I loved the tension and the realistic way the characters were portrayed. I would’ve liked this book more if there was dual point of view.
Elisabeth Lagelee was a fantastic narrator. And I enjoyed how she changed her voice to portray the different characters.
Rating: 4/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I doubt this will be my last C. W. Farnsworth book.
𝘍𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵 𝘍𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵, 𝘍𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘍𝘢𝘭𝘭 is my first book by C. W. Farnsworth and it was everything I could have wanted in a contemporary romance. There was tension, a man that falls first, and more. And while there of course is a big blow up near the end, I felt like it was realistic for someone who had only ever thought about soccer.
I saw where a bunch of other people considered this too much like insta love, but their relationship was built over a couple months. And they're both adults. So I don't really consider this insta love. Insta lust? Yes, definitely. And I love that Saylor was just as cocky as Adler. It's becoming more common in books, but how often do we get that, really?
I do wish we would have gotten more in-person interactions between Saylor and Adler in the second half of the book. Or that her friends would have picked up on how her relationship with Adler was different from other relationships she had been in. As for the narrator, I liked her for the most part, but she sounded just a bit too old or too proper for how I pictured Saylor.
I doubt this will be my last C. W. Farnsworth book. This is an author I'll probably come back to again and again.
