SO GOOD!!! A new favorite sports romance! I will easily reread and relisten to this one over and over! The storyline of this book was so well written and incredible! I easily fell in love with Gemma and her heart breaking back story while I was also swooning over the hot bartender, Zack. The chase of this book kept me easily reading page after page! It’s about 2 broken people finding each other and so so phenomenal!
The storyline starts when Gemma is about to confront her husband on his cheating but he decides to speak first and tell her he has terminal cancer. She decides to keep it to herself and stays with him till his death. Months after his passing she is trying to move on and is at the bar with her best friend. She has these season tickets the Bears football team that she got for her husband before she knew about his cheating and cancer. Her and her friend come up with a plan to use each game to date a new guy. The bartender, Zack, overhears her plan for the tickets and the story begins….
Zack: “Under that smile, under those eyes, she had a story. And I wanted to read it.”
The narration is such an easy listen! Their voices match the characters perfectly as they effortlessly articulated the tone of the story! I will be listening to this audible over and over!

I'm a sucker for sports romance. I'm a huge sports fan myself, so when a book is centered around a sport, it tens to get an extra star from me.
I really loved Zach as a character and how he was portrayed. I wish more men were like that in real life and always willing to go the extra mile. I enjoyed Gemma's character too, but Zach really stole the show for me. Belle was an amazing addition too. Her personality reminds me a lot of my best friend, and I couldn't help but love her.
I wish there would've been a little more spice, or that the book was a tiny bit shorter. Other than that, I enjoyed reading this and plan on reading the next in the series just because of how much I enjoyed her character.

I absolutely loved Zach in this book, but honestly, Gemma not so much. Something about her just didn’t do it for me. She seemed kind of flighty, immature and blah, which is so unlike most heroines this author writes.
The story line was sweet and the chemistry was hot. I loved the sports theme of the story and how it tied everything together for this couple.
I listened to this book on audio and absolutely swooned over the narration! It was perfect.

Such a sweet book!! Gemma did bother me at some points and reminded me of my past relationship but I really enjoyed this book. It was interesting that Kandi included the fan aspect of football not just a football player romance. Zach is literally so swoon worthy and I loved him and Micah.
