Story
If people have polar opposites, Luca Rossi is mine. His butt is in the baseball hall of fame. Mine's comfortably seated in the hall of lame. When he's not snagging fly balls out in center field, he's modeling in shampoo commercials. I once jammed my own finger while stirring cookie dough, and sometimes I forget shampoo is a thing. He's a total cynic when it comes to love. I make a living writing love stories. But after my latest broken engagement (no, I don't want to talk about how many times that's happened), it's clear he's exactly the man I need.

My love story all started with a letter. Only it wasn’t from the man I’d eventually fall in love with. It was from his daughter. A sweet little girl named Birdie Maxwell who’d written to the magazine that I worked for. You see, once a year my employer fulfilled a few wishes for readers. Only that column didn’t start up again for months. So I fulfilled some of her wishes myself. It was harmless…so I thought. Until one day I took things too far. While anonymously granting yet another of Birdie’s wishes, I got a look at her father.

He walked into school on his first day and owned it. I guess that's what happens when you're a prick, rich, and you're best friends with the ruling school's king. Also didn't hurt that he's drop-dead gorgeous. That's all fine. I mean, I have nothing to do with them. I'm a loner, invisible, and that's how I wanted it to be. I was even proud of it, until I wasn't. His name is Blaise Devroe. My name is Aspen Monson. He only knew how to get, command, and demand attention. I knew how to do everything but that. And this is our story.

Call it superstition, but when a guy bats as hot as Brooks Elliott, you don’t mess with what’s working. And what’s working is him keeping his pants zipped and doing all of his scoring on the field. So when I hear he’s planning to ditch his V-card now that he’s been traded to baseball’s lovable losers - a.k.a. my home team and my reason for living every March through October - I do what any rational, dedicated, obsessed fan would do. I make a plan to stop him. But the thing about stopping him is that it requires spending time with him. Lots. And lots. And lots of time.

Summary
Allie Sutton just got a new job.
Not one she wants, and definitely not one she's prepared for. She hadn't seen her dad in years, so the last thing she expects upon his sudden death is to inherit the thing he loved more than anything (or anyone)...the professional football team he owned for the last 20 years.
Luke Pierson does not want a new boss.
What he wants is to be a good father to his daughter, the best quarterback possible for his teammates. What he doesn't need is a blonde bombshell ruining the team's chances at another championship. Especially when that bombshell turns out to be his new neighbor. The neighbor he was a complete jerk to the first time they met.
For the sake of the team, they treat each other like complete professionals. In public, at least. Behind closed doors, it's a different story. And the fallout of giving in to that heat is something neither one of them can see coming.
Contains mature themes.

Blown Away by this Bombshell Romance
I absolutely fell in love with this book, savored listening to every word, I truly did not want it to end. The narration was absolutely fantastic, it was my first time listening to Troy Duran and his deep, rumbling voice was perfect for Luke. Melissa Moran - was a great Allie - she really makes you feel like you are part of the story, like you are hanging out with the girls recounting stories.
The writing was full of witty banter and steamy slow burn romance. The sexual tension and buildup to the first kiss had me brimming with anticipation and it was worth it! I am a sports romance junkie and this book ticked all the boxes for me. There is something so intriguing about the sports world and this story was written so that even a non sports fan will love it! What made it even better was the strong, powerful lead female character, a woman I could look up to, taking charge and not backing down when faced with adversity.

Le swoon...
Who doesn’t live a hot, devoted, single dad? Washington Wolves QB, Luke Pierson, is THAT guy. He’s uber protective of his daughter and isn’t subtle with getting rid of groupies...which is why he’s exceptionally rude to his new neighbor. Only to later discover that said neighbor is the new owner of his team...yep, his boss. However, chemistry soon replaces angst and the pair begin a fling...terrible idea, right? That won’t end well..or will it?
Cute story with great sub-characters, including an adorable 6yo.

I love Allie & Luke!
Single dad with an adorable girl and a QB for the local team. Yes please.
Single woman inherits her dad’s fortune with a football team. YES PLEASE.
I really enjoyed how Allie, surprised new owner of a football team, threw herself into her dad’s shoes. She researched, relied on his former staff and knew she had a big role to fill. Up until that point, she was a jetsetting influencer.
Luke is a quiet player. His dedication to his sport and daughter is what really keeps him going.
The meet-hate is what this couple was destined for.
I loved how story driven this was. It didn’t have a lot of drama, but the characters had their own set of issues and the paths they have and were taken.
It was interesting to see how this played out and I really liked it. I love when a story keeps speaking to me.
I also enjoyed the narration, but it’s been a while since I have heard Melissa Moran and even longer for Troy Duran, but they both did quite well. Troy is perfect as Luke.

Enjoyed
I did liked this story. I enjoyed Troy Duran and Melissa Moran’s performances. The love story of the owner of a football team and the quarter back is always a good beginning. If you like this book, read Susan Elizabeth Phillips version, It Had To Be You, which was a funnier story with less flowery wordiness. Also the performance of Anna Fields reading, It Had To Be You, was stellar. Read either book, better yet, read both, you won’t be sorry you took the time to do so.

This is the first book I’ve read by Karla Sorensen and I loved it 😍! Luke and Allie’s enemies-to-lovers story was inspiring! I loved how Allie took situations that may have caused her to become downtrodden or depressed and turned them around for her benefit with optimism and hard work! I also respected how Luke as a single parent was consistent in his love and support of his daughter and dedication to what he loved as a football player 🏈!Both Troy Duran and Melissa Moran were Fantastic narrators! Troy’s deep voice was exactly what I’d expect a footballer to sound like 🥰and Melissa’s emotional delivery was on point! Great listen 👍🏽

All I’d had of her was stolen moments like this in the dark, and she deserved so much more than that.
I will take every single stolen moment between these two! Karla Sorensen has definitely become one of my favorite discovered authors that I hadn’t read from before. This is my second title from her and while I’ve read the ebook already listening on audio has been worth the work I ditched today.
Luke and Allie have such an organic evolution of their relationship leaving everything feeling genuine and fresh. No instant love or forced romance, just them! Perfectly timed plot that will leave you so satisfied by the end you won’t even know what to do with yourself.
Allie has just inherited ownership of a football team housing Luke Pierson and they basically are hard up from the start. Fate has made them neighbors and that’s only the beginning of their journey. But I will say this, if you love sports romance and a brooding hero... LOOK NO FURTHER. Karla Sorensen has perfected the genre, do yourself a solid and listen to this one!
“...I’ll treat you with the respect you deserve as the team quarterback, but you sure as hell better do me the same courtesy as the team owner. I may still be getting my footing, but I bet I could make all sorts of trouble for you if you ever felt the need to remind me what women who look like me usually do or say in your obnoxious, golden boy presence.”

Ok with spoilers
SPOILERS
I normally love this author and this whole series. But for me, this one ranked. I just didn’t believe he loved her. He barely knew her beyond sneaking around once a week for sex. Still the first 75 percent was good. The last 25 percent just fell completely flat. I really hated the dude. He’s supposed to be the hot single dad, but he really seems to lack the ability to connect with anybody, including his daughter. And when he allows Allie to be maligned in the press because he isn’t man enough to acknowledge her publicly and lets the whole country think of her as a booty call for something like three weeks of refusing to be a man, well...ugh! He could have headed off all the nasty speculation and disrespect she was receiving just by making a statement that they knew each other prior to her taking ownership of the team, were neighbors and were in a serious relationship. Instead, he just throws her under the bus. All because he is too dumb to recognize that he has feelings for her. His epiphany, when it comes, feels more like he just realized “oh wow, I guess I didn’t think how much easier my life would be if I had another adult around to share these parenting/life burdens. It’s been kind of miserable without her for the last three weeks.” Then he proceeds to “grand gesture” the hell out of her to the tune of an entire football stadium (and country) watching it play out and NEVER says “I’m sorry I left you out to dry for all these weeks.” He says “I love you” and she literally throws herself into his manly football player arms, and I. Don’t. Get. It. I would have been so angry at him for literally making a spectacle out of her not once but twice. First with refusing to acknowledge her as anything but a booty call and then by declaring his love on national tv without even wondering for two seconds if maybe she was OVER his narcissistic butt!
When I ranted to my husband, he reminded me that some readers will eat that up. Some people value attention and showboating over sincerity. Me? I can’t stand the jerk. I wish Allie had kicked him to the curb. Which means the novel failed as a romance in my eyes. I didn’t want to see the couple end up together.
