Well I was NOT expecting to love this one (probably because I had zero expectations and an auto-approval from Dreamscape Media LLC on NetGalley - thanks for the ALC of this one!).

I haven't read any of the Wylder Love books, but I didn't feel like I was lost because this is the first I've read.

I'm a huge fan of sports romance, and so I was pleasantly surprised that Jax is a QB for the NFL team in my hubs' hometown, Wichita, KS! This super famous QB makes a sort of sketch decision, and a girl out for revenge tanks his reputation overnight. Thoughts of retirement and ways to get back home to his family/hometown lead Jax back to his roots, and nearly straight into the arms of his best friend's little sister. Except the little sister hates him for ruining her brother's life on graduation night.

The past isn't quite what Lucy's been told, and once she stops hating Jax, those lust-y feelings coming roaring to life. These two spend one weekend together, at first just because they can't help themselves, and then because they can't get each other off their minds.

I love the way Jax wants to support Lucy's dreams, and how they team up on a youth camp and clinic for youth with disabilities. Jax's heart for his community and desire to put his fame and wealth to good use to support his community is attractive, and then given that he wants to support Lucy's future and career along the way multiples that tenfold.

There are a lot of fun side characters (who I am guessing are main characters in other Samantha Chase books). There's complex family interactions, drama, tension, and tender moments all mixed together. I love books that make me feel all the things, and Samantha Chase certainly does that here!

I'm giving this one 4.5 stars - rounded up to 5 - because I binged it in a day!

Undeniable Love by Samantha Chase is book #3 in the Wylder Love series.
- Small town romance
- sports romance
-enemies to lovers
-bothers best friend

Loved the narrator: Amy McFadden, she did a really good job for each of the characters.

Really enjoyed the story, really good change from my normal reading. Really appreciate the found family and just the general family support in the book. Would definitely go back and read the other two books.

Thank you NetGalley for the arc.

This book was a fun read- hometown football hero comes home to start a camp for kids with disabilities, and one would think his best friend’s sister, who happens to be a physical therapist, would jump at the opportunity to be a part of it…but, she wants NO part of it! She holds a pretty strong grudge for an incident that happened on her brother’s graduation night. She quickly gets past that and sparks fly - but the 2 of them live in very different worlds. Can the two of them make it work, even though the odds are against a happy ending?

This is the third book in a series, but despite not having read the other 2, I didn’t feel like I was missing anything, so it most definitely can be read as a standalone. I also really enjoyed the narrator - she is quickly becoming one of my favorites!

Quick Summary: A small town, sports hero romance

My Review: Undeniable Love by Samantha Chase is book #3 in the Wylder Love series.

About the Book: A professional football player who suddenly finds himself in a sticky situation gets back to his roots in a major way.

When Jax Wylder returns to his hometown to do some good and realize a longstanding dream, he is met with support from his family and close friends. Unfortunately, the one person he needs on his team perceives him as the enemy and has no problem telling him as much.

A young career woman is blindsided by the man she is supposed to marry.

When Lucy Dawson made the decision to marry, she thought things would work out for her...even though she still had certain reservations about her intended. Unfortunately, when her cheating ex is caught in the act of betrayal, she has to suddenly make a life change. Little did she know that her unexpected change would lead her straight to her the brother's best friend - the man that she passionately disliked. He was and would always be her enemy...right?

About the Narration: Amy McFadden did an incredible job with this installment. I was lost in her narration, in the best way. I listened to her storytelling in one sitting.

My Favorite Scenes (coded, so as to avoid spoilers):

- The Poofy Dress

- Zip It!

- The Parking Lot

- Crazy Is as Crazy Does

- All In

- After the Game

* Honorable Mention: The child with CP going through the therapy obstacle course

My Final Say: I really liked this story. It started out so strong and kept up its momentum. It was the just right story at the just right time. The supporting characters were all interesting and I wanted to know them the more they showed up in Jax and Lucy's lives. The leads - Jax and Lucy - had good chemistry. I loved that they were able to connect despite the misunderstandings.

Other: I plan to complete this series.

Book 1: Irresistible Love - > 4.25/5
Book 2: Indescribable Love - > TBR
Book 3: Undeniable Love - > 4.5/5

This is a fun and easy read perfect to finish in a day or weekend. Football, love and secret relationships. This is the third in the Wylder series, I have not read the previous books but this one can definitely be a stand alone or for more background grab the whole series. Lucy has stayed in the home town while her brothers friends seem to leave and become famous. Jax a profootball player that has good intentions even though there was a past incident that he has some guilt over. Lucy had some bad feeling towards Jax but once those are sorted out the underlying attraction makes itself known. Relatable characters to a certain level and friendships that are endearing. This is a fun but has underlying good vibes of giving back as well as showing the importance of friendships. Defnitely pick up this series for a fun read during the upcoming football season. Thanks to the author, publisher and Netgalley for the opportunity.
