Adalyn is a soccer executive facing scandal when she’s sent to rural Green Oak, North Carolina to manage a children’s soccer team—alongside retired goalkeeper Cameron Caldani.
Cameron Caldani is the perfect man. That’s it, that’s the review.
No but seriously—I LOVED this book. The vibes (Ted Lasso meets Schitt’s Creek) are impeccable, the characters are amazing, and the small touches (the goats! The cats!) add a layer of depth that just makes you want to sink into this novel and live there forever. The ending was also perfection (even though I didn’t want it to ever end) and I adore the way the third act conflict was handled—which is one of the biggest compliments I can give a romance novel, honestly.
Elena Armas is one of my favorite authors, and she’s proven why all over again with The Long Game.
Recommended to anyone, but especially if you like: sports romance, small town romance, grumpy hot cat dads with British accents
CW: Panic attacks/mental health; mentions of death of parent
