Marlee thought she scored the man of her dreams only to be scorched by a bad breakup. But there's a new player on the horizon, and he's in a league of his own...


Marlee Harper is the perfect girlfriend. She's definitely had enough practice by dating her NFL-star boyfriend for the last ten years. But when she discovers he has been tackling other women on the sly, she vows to never date an athlete again. There's just one problem: Gavin Pope, the new hotshot quarterback and a fling from the past, has Marlee in his sights.

Gavin fights to show Marlee he's nothing like her ex. Unfortunately, not everyone is ready to let her escape her past. The team's wives, who never led the welcome wagon, are not happy with Marlee's return. They have only one thing on their minds: taking her down. But when the gossip makes Marlee public enemy number one, she worries about more than just her reputation.

Between their own fumbles and the wicked wives, it will take a Hail Mary for Marlee and Gavin's relationship to survive the season.

“Drama abounds in Intercepted, a fun and sexy romance novel set in the sports world.”—Bustle

“[Marlee's] love story isn't about which football player is The One for her, it's about a woman claiming her independence on her own terms, even when a hunky guy keeps coming to the rescue.”—NPR

“If you like steamy romance with a side of sports, this fun, fast-paced novel is for you.”—HelloGiggles

The book was cute. I chose it because January is one of my favourite narrators. It’s an easy listen. I would recommend it if you’re looking for something light.

The narrator was good. The plot, not so much. I really wanted to like the story, but just couldn't continue to listen. If you want to hear the word hashtag used every five minutes, maybe you'll be able to stomach through the story. I could not.
