Intercepted
(Playbook #1)
by
Marlee thought she
scored the man of her dreams only to be scorched by a bad breakup. But
there's a new player on the horizon, and he's in a league of his own...
Marlee Harper is the perfect girlfriend. She's definitely had enough practice by dating her NFL-star boyfriend for the last ten years. But when she discovers he has been tackling other women on the sly, she vows to never date an athlete again. There's just one problem: Gavin Pope, the new hotshot quarterback and a fling from the past, has Marlee in his sights.
Gavin fights to show Marlee he's nothing like her ex. Unfortunately, not everyone is ready to let her escape her past. The team's wives, who never led the welcome wagon, are not happy with Marlee's return. They have only one thing on their minds: taking her down. But when the gossip makes Marlee public enemy number one, she worries about more than just her reputation.
Between their own fumbles and the wicked wives, it will take a Hail Mary for Marlee and Gavin's relationship to survive the season.

My Intercepted Review . . .
I'm a huge fan of sports romance and this one did not disappoint from the debut author. I'm sure Alexa being an ex-NFL wife helped a ton with the nuances of that world. I loved it!
My favorite things in romance novels is a super strong kickass female heroine and Marlee fit the bill.
Things I loved: Marlee, Gavin, the banter between characters, the start of a girl posse, the bitchiness of the NFL wives and the actual story line.
Thing I didn't love was I'm not a huge hashtag girl, so all the hashtags got to be a bit too much for me but for the others who love hashtags then this will right up their alley.
Such a great story from a debut author. I can not wait to read more from this author and this series.
4 Kickass Thumbs!
