What a fun listen! Madden and Kennedy's story is filled with family rivalry, secrets and one swoony hero who knows exactly what he wants! Their initial meeting hooked me right away and even though it's set in the world of football, the real story is the business rivals to lovers tension.

Dual narration performed by Dane Anderson & Avery Caris

Avery Caris was a standout for me. She gave Kennedy this spark that pulled me right into the story. Dane was a new to me narrator brought a steady confidence and delivered Madden with intensity and determination. Together, their voices carried the push and pull of this business rivals to lovers romance very well.

This was such a strong start to Lisa Suzanne's new Bradley Legacy Series!! I cannot wait to see what the rest of the Bradley siblings bring to the table. If you love forbidden vibes, family drama and a hero who falls first (and HARD), you'll love this one.

Thank you to @mustloveaudio and @authorlisasuzanne for this ALC.
