I love a good sport’s romance a this one was so well written! I loved the characters, storyline (love a good redemption story), and it was so enjoyable watching these two fall in love over the course of the novel. I have much more to share, but am recovering from an unexpected health issue and I promise to share more soon.

Lily & her family are devastated when her local football club relocates miles away. This leads to the creation of Crawford United, a team formed by her family. Ben Pryce, a professional footballer with a reputation as a 'bad boy', helps coach the team and quickly develops a deep connection with Lily. Despite breaking the rule of mixing business with pleasure, they embark on a secret romance filled with twists and turns.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book; it beautifully portrays the sense of 'found family' as the community bands together to support the team. The unique connection between Lily and Ben is palpable. While initially slow and heavily focused on football, the story soon becomes gripping, and the characters are easy to fall in love with. Fans of Ted Lasso will certainly appreciate this book!
