Love sports and the intense men who play them? I know I do. Six authors who also crave those same things contributed new stories to this anthology. Each short story targets a different sport, different tropes, and different levels of spiciness. It's a great way to read a new story by an author you already love and also a great chance to read a new author who writes in the tropes you obviously love too. Here are just a few of the stories contained within that I took a peek at:

ARC rating for Sidelined by Ki Stephens. Thank you Ki and Taylor for the e-arc!

This was super super cute, I’m so impressed at how much history and emotion was packed into this novella. I absolutely loved Callum and Li together and truly believed they’re soulmates.

Their banter was great as well, and you even got to know the side characters too.

The scenes were so gorgeous, the writing is beautiful as always and I just had a great time reading this.

Love made me do it by Saffron Kent: a review

Meadow, her mom and Meadow’s bff,

Jupiter talk to her through Facetime and Jupiter spills that Meadow, almost 20 years old got drunk on white wine. Meadow's been working as a nanny for Riot Rivera, a professional NYC FC soccer player whom she’s In love with. Riot has a 3 year old daughter named Sophie.

Riot threatens to fire Meadow because she's on a date with Ethan who owns a cannabis store I loved this story so much I didn’t want it to end.

Becca Steele’s story about Bennett and Niccolo. I freaking loved it. Adding her to my already long TBR. Ki Stephens story of Callum & Lila is so cute and I love it

Jay McLean’s story of Jace & Harlow has become my favorite. Adding his books to my to be read list.

I loved Maggie Rawdon’s story of Gabe & Aurora. Added her to my to be read list.

Loved SJ Sylvis’s story of Nolan & Hannah

As a sports romance junkie, all these stories were so freaking good

Multi Sports
Some MM romance

What a great set of stories! I got this because of Jay but definitely found more authors to check out!

Each short story kept me hooked and adding the Authors related books to my TBR.

10/10 recommend and will be getting my hands on the physical!

Quotes

No matter what people say, if you’re born different, you already have a target on your back.

“If this is one of those times where you say absolutely ridiculous things about your fucking magnificent body, I have to warn you that I won’t be happy.”

I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone more beautiful than her.
