About this listen

An Amazon Charts and #1 Kindle Store bestseller.

An NFL quarterback turned small-town coach gets sacked by a Texas beauty queen in this swoony, passionate romance from Wall Street Journal bestselling author Ilsa Madden-Mills.

Gorgeous, talented, and brilliant, NFL quarterback Ronan Smith has the world in his hands. But after losing his career and his fiancée in a car accident, he falls into a pit of grief and bad choices. When a mysterious girl shows up to his party, he feels drawn to her and makes her his…for one night.

Former beauty queen Nova Morgan is on a mission. Scantily clad as a princess from a galaxy far, far away, she sneaks into a high-profile party to capture the attention of her favorite quarterback. But her hopes crash after an awful one-night stand.

Fast-forward two years. Broke and desperate, Nova returns home to Blue Belle, Texas, where, by a cosmic twist of fate, her broody neighbor is none other than Ronan, the shiny new football coach everyone adores. But he has no idea who she is.

The booster club keeps shoving women at Ronan to keep him in town. His solution? He proposes fake dating to Nova. But things heat up for real under these Friday-night lights when he realizes she’s the one who slipped away.

Has this jaded beauty found her forever baller, or will his past keep them apart?

Held my attention throughout

Well written and entertaining. The book has good character development, presents character emotion in an effective way and the narrators uphold this. The author has incorporated great humour in a range of amusing and witty all the way to laugh out loud entertainment. It’s doesn’t have an abundance of explicit sexual content. What is included is well written, sensual and descriptive enough to be quite sexy.

Enfin!

J’ai attendu longtemps pour écouter ce livre et je ne suis pas déçue. J’aime cette histoire de deux personnes marqués par une ancienne relation amoureuse mais qui tentent tout de même de donner une chance à l’amour. Le personnage principale fémini m’a séduit par son optisme et sa joie de vivre.

loved this ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This was a beautiful and funny story.

Naration was fan-freakingtastic. The friends and family added to the layers of this beautiful story. The narrator's hit this out of the park with all the characters and voices. Great laughs with just the right amount of angst.

Loved the Characters

I enjoyed the story however I struggled with the narrator for Nova. She talks so slow that she reminds me of someone who smoked a joint and is stoned. It is for this reason I’m not a fan.
