All the Wrong Plays by C.W. Farnsworth

3.5

---

All the Wrong Plays is the second book in the Kluvberg series. I read a lot of sports romances, but not many about soccer players, so I was excited about this book. This story follows Will Aster and Sophia Beck's rollercoaster relationship. After being involved in a scandal, Will moves to Germany to play for FC Kluvberg and rebuild his soccer career. While there, he has to fix his reputation and prove that he is still a valuable player. Sophia is the sister of Adler Beck, a famous player on the team. Having grown up in a family with soccer legends, she has done everything possible to avoid the sport. As part of her photography internship, she is assigned to take photos for the team. Not knowing who he is, Sophia meets Will while at a game. Despite Will's past and her connection to the team, she can't stay away from him. I am a sucker for forbidden, secret romances, and I loved Will and Sophia together. They had amazing chemistry, and I enjoyed the push and pull of their relationship. I loved how they supported each other through all the obstacles they had to overcome. Will and Sophia's story perfectly combines swoony moments, a little drama, angst, and steam.

Narration:
Ryan Hudson and Kasha Kensington performed this story in dual narration. Ryan and Kasha were the perfect voices for Will and Sophia. Both did a wonderful job giving the characters personality and bringing them to life.
