4.0

I was so excited to start a new Piper Rayne sports series- especially after my love for their hockey hotties world! You Had Your Chance, Lee Burrows is a fantastic beginning to the Kingsman Football world. Brimming with all of the swoony charisma and heartfelt charm that I adore about Piper Rayne’s work. All the banter, all the sweet moments, and another great ensemble I know I’m going to adore. I’m already in love with this whole crew.

In this first outing with the Kingsman crew, we have a bit of a forbidden, a bit of a second chance, and a bit of the forbidden as hot shot quarterback Lee Burrows discovers his team’s new athletic trainer is none other than his former flame from his college days- the girl whose heart his shattered. Their chemistry and sizzle immediately resparks, but Shayna isn’t ready to forgive and forget their past. And a non-fraternization expectation for their professional behavior isn’t helping them either. But they can’t seem to deny there is something there still between them- and Lee is wanting to right his past wrongs.

This is loads of fun, and I also really enjoyed the audio narration. The story is banter-filled, with tons of enemies to lovers vibes, so it was perfect for audio performance. And we have such a delightful ensemble in the football players on the team. Piper Rayne always creates a big ole pack of characters that feel like (or sometimes are) family- and I can’t wait to see all of these characters over the course of the series. Lee is a fun lading man- hard working, a good teammate, a decent guy who is trying to be an even better guy. While at times I wish he was a bit less nonchalant about the risks she was taking, overall he’s quite a swoony book boyfriend. And Shayna certainly is his match- she’s sassy and capable and incredibly strong. He’s not going to make it easy for him. Their push and pull builds lots of great tension, but in true Piper Rayne fashion we don’t have TOO much, just a lot of sass, sweet, and steam.

Can’t wait for our next Kingsman’s story!
