I like this author and have loved this series, so I just downloaded the next without reading the blurb. And... what the actual fuck, you guys?! How are people not raging about this?
The FMC is a selfish, vapid bitch. She makes a sex tape with the MMC without his fucking consent.
Firstly, her plan is literally batshit stupid: send a SEX TAPE FEATURING YOURSELF to the fucking two people who betrayed you as payback? What? Does your pea-sized brain not imagine for even a goddamn minute that they would do something horrible with it??
Secondly, doing that without his consent is fucking monstrous. It is a violation. It is potentially career-ending and life-ruining for him. But she doesn't give a single goddamn fuck, because she's a horrible fucking human being who should be put in jail.
People, if the sexes were reversed - if HE recorded a nonconsensual sex tape with HER - people would be screaming down the roof, and rightfully so. What's with the fucking double standard?
This is not hot, it's not cute. I can see how it's going to blow up in their faces and the protective Harris family will make me angry by blaming the victim here and not their complete asshole family member, and I am just not here for it.
No. Just no.

Payback: A Hot Sports Romance
By: Amy Daws
Narrated by: Aaron Shedlock, Erin Mallon, Will Watt, Charlotte Cole
Each and every one of Amy Daw's books brings a smile to my face, so when I heard that she was writing this story, I couldn't wait to listen to it! And it was so worth the wait! Allie, a Harris Brother's cousin, and is looking for revenge and is going to send her ex a hot video of her conquest. Roan is a rookie soccer player trying to get in good with Tanner, Allie's cousin so their chemistry on the field melds. Who thought their one night stand would be more than just that? Now two years later, Allie has moved to London and is doing publicity for Roan's soccer team...and their chemistry is off the charts. And the secret Allie has been holding is looming over their heads. This story is hot, laugh out loud funny, yet, carries a serious note at times and is the best entertainment you can listen to. Daws has done it again, and we can only hope Freya has the next book!
Narration for this series has always been Will Watt and Charlotte Cole, and they are the Harris brothers. They have returned to voice all the secondary characters in the story, keeping the voices we have come to know and love consistent. Blending these two into the duet narration of Erin Mallon and Aaron Shedlock is genius. Mallon and her incredible voices and amazing comedic timing is the perfect casting for Allie. And who better than Aaron Shedlock to portray a South African soccer player? He is the master of accents and shines with is portrayal of Roan, with complexity and raw sexiness. It's an incredible multi cast performance you do not want to miss!

As a self proclaimed accent whore, this audiobook was ear porn and a perpetual hit of ecstasy. I was giddy from the narrators, giddy from the romance, and giddy from the naughty fun. Amy Daws has a winning team of narrators and footballers!
i am ashamed to admit I own the Harris brothers ebooks and audiobooks but have never actually listen/read them. i saw the hubbub when Amy released Payback on audiobook and shamelessly one-clicked it because of the guaranteed accented hotties. Lol. I have zero shame. My husband (who is my own South American accented hottie( knows I'm a sucker for an accent. He actually laughed when I told him I was bought it for the accents. i AM SO GLAD I DID! THE HARRIS FAMILY ARE KEEPERS! (Okay, only one actually is a keeper but...Ignore my terrible pun)
I want to be adopted or absorbed into this family ASAP. i want this sense of family, community, and belonging. What a joy and what fun! This brand of crazy is exactly the puck me up everyone needs!
To crazy Brits, a big ole Scot, and a sexy South African who give us auralgasms and big @ss smiles!

Loved it!!
I was so excited for this book, it seemed like a bonus to have more of the Harris family. It was absolutely perfect. The chemistry between Allie and Roan was off the charts. The relationship between the Harris family melts my heart. I really hope Mac ends up getting a book.

“I know we’re a bad idea. I know that after the awful thing I did, getting close to him isn’t wise. Any relationship that starts with a lie like the one I’m hiding is doomed to fail. But he and my family seem bound and determined to shove us together at any available opportunity, making it really hard for me to resist him.”
Two years ago, when Allie Harris concocted a harebrained payback plan against her cheating ex and her ex-stepsister, she never imagined she’d be moving to London or seeing Roan again. But the meddling Harris ladies have other plans.
Roan DeWalt never thought he’d see Allie Harris again. He’s fantasized about their night together for two years and now that she’s back in London he’s determined to win her over. But he better be prepared for the Harris Shakedown.
“All this time, I’ve been worried about the Harris Brothers interfering when, in reality, it is the Harris ladies that I should be keeping an eye on.”
If you’ve been eagerly awaiting this story like I have since it was just a three-part short story teaser, you are going to instantly be enamored with the confident and determined Roan DeWalt and the cautious and quirky Allie Harris that the London Harris clan has taken under their wing, and so ecstatic that we’ve gotten another Harris book!
No one delivers heartthrob footie players like Daws—if you loved the Harris brothers just wait until you meet Roan DeWalt. Confident? Check. Fun? Check. Sexy, charming, and swoony-worthy accent? Check, check and check!
Scandal, meddling matchmaking, second chances, laugh-out-loud humor, family, heartbreak, magical, unforgettable moments, and love like only the Harris family can deliver: unconditional, crazy, bigger than life love – Payback delivers it all!
“There’s no better payback in life . . . than a happily ever after.”
Now can a certain sexy Scottish teammate and a fiery redheaded best friend have their story told next?
