Aww, this was really cute! Sport romances are always just the cutest. I enjoyed getting to know Lottie and Nolan. I'm glad Lottie was able to grow and move on past the trauma of her childhood. Nolan getting to be the one to heal that was even better. His need to show her she was worthy of love and being a priority made my heart happy. I hope the next book covers Olivia and Derek because honestly, those two would be great together.

AMAZING SPICY ROMANCE!!

I got hooked from the first chapters, the plot, the caracters everything was PERFECTION!

Going for Two by Ally Wiegand
Release Date : October 1st, 2024
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5

Going for Two is such a cute football romance that strikes a great balance between heart and humor. The main character, Lottie, is incredibly strong, hardworking, and resilient. Her backstory is emotional, but seeing her growth and transformation throughout the book is amazing.

Y’all the audacity of Henry had my jaw on the floor. Thankfully he didn’t come back in the story 🤣 The found family dynamic in this book is one of its sweetest aspects, offering warmth and depth to the story.

The banter between characters was another highlight. There were moments that genuinely had me laughing out loud, especially Derek. I hope we get to see more from him.

Overall, if you're a fan of football romances Going for Two is definitely worth a read.

Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and the publishing team for providing me with an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I absolutely loved the first book in the series and couldnt wait to read this book. Nolan and Lottie were both strong characters and I enjoyed their dynamic and navigating a workplace romance. They are complete opposite but balance each other out in the best way. I also loved how it can be a standalone but the books are connected together, but not in an overly obvious way.

Going forward two was absolutely amazing I have loved everything that Ally writes so far. I find her characters to be very relatable

The first chapter is Lottie being sad about the fact that she's single and successful. Which she tells us many times. Then Nolon walks into an empty stadium and turns on a light switch to turn on all the lights. That's not how any of that works. The timeline is bizarre.

Solid 3.5 star read for me

I did not like this nearly as much as the first book but still found it cute and enjoyable.

I feel like everything happened very fast and I think that's why I did not like this as much as the first.

Love Nolan and Lottie though. One of my favorite parts about this book is how much Lottie knows about football and truly loves the game.

I enjoyed this book. I thought the chemistry between Nolan and Lottie was very well written. Their dynamic of being a football player and the team's physical therapist was interesting. It brought a forbidden romance to the plot but I don't think the build up of them not being allowed to date paid off. There was no real consequences and it never felt like they were going to get in trouble. The topic of abandonment issues and being forced to grow up too fast was handled very gently. Overall, I liked the romance and enjoyed the story. I look forward to reading other stories in this series.

I absolutely loved the first book in the series so I couldn’t wait to read the second book! Needless to say I loved this one just as much as the first one and cannot wait for the next book in the series. This book can be read as a standalone even though Tommy and Maggie from the first book make an appearance.

🏈 Physical Therapist X Quarterback
🏈 Grumpy x Sunshine
🏈 Closed door romance

Some of my favorite quotes:
“You must learn how to mold some of the worst parts of yourself to be better suited for the person you’re with. Because sometimes the perfect person for you is the person who will call you on all your bullshit.”

“What I didn’t expect was for you to still see through all my different pretenses and accept me for it all while working with me to figure out how you could best help me achieve everything I want.”

“I’m tired of watching you play second fiddle to everyone else around you in your life. When are you going to go after what you want instead of always playing it cautious solely because that’s what is expected of you?”

““But only because we understand when it’s time to stop choosing ourselves and start choosing the other person. It’s a give and take.”

"A headstrong NFL player meets his match in his new no-nonsense physio therapist in this steamy, tension-filled sports romance. Everyone knows Nolan Hill as the legendary quarterback of the Chicago Bobcats - two-time Super Bowl champ and heartthrob to countless fans. But to Lottie Thompson, he's just the stubborn pain in the ass who refuses her physio treatment. She's worked hard to command respect in a male-dominated industry, and she's not about to let a 6ft, too-handsome-for-his-own-good football player run all over her.

But when Nolan's injury threatens his Super Bowl dreams, he and Lottie strike a deal: he'll follow her rehab plan in exchange for helping her tick off her bucket list. As Nolan's performance on the field soars, Lottie finds their partnership off the field heating up too. Somewhere between sweaty morning runs and late-night strategy sessions, their rivalry has turned into the kind of truce that involves lingering touches and stolen kisses.

Now Lottie isn't one to back down from a challenge, but can this grumpy quarterback finally break through her defenses?"

I enjoyed this story and the growth of two adults who find that what they wanted for so long might need to change. Really good chemistry between the two and I also need a story about Lottie's sister now as she also needs her HEA. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review.

RATING: ⭐️⭐️⭐️✨
SPICE: 🚫

This was a cute read that had a lot of potential. I am forever in my sports romance era, and am always a sucker for a football romance. I really liked the authors style and wanted to love this one so much. Nolan and Lottie were both strong characters and I enjoyed their dynamic and navigating a workplace romance.

✨ Football Romance
✨ Workplace Romance
✨ Grumpy MMC
✨ He Falls First
✨ Close Proximity

I enjoyed the relationship between Nolan and Lottie, and the plot of Lottie being the one to help Nolan back from an injury. There was a decent amount of chemistry between the characters and a man who falls first is always a plus.

This one is closed door and I wanted more tension and a realistic adult relationship and did find that the angst was balance well with the plot!

I would recommend this to people that don’t like spice but love sports but if you are a spicy reader this one is more cute than sexy.

My very first sports romance book and I ATE. IT. UP!!! I am now going to watch football and actually understand it!!

Star: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice: 🌶️🌶️

This book follows Lottie (a physical therapist for the NFL) and Nolan (2 time Super Bowl winning Quarterback). This book has enemies to lovers vibes mixed with some forced proximity!! This book is PERFECT for a first sports romance book and even better for those just dipping their toes into sports!! Ally does a fantastic job with getting you attached to the main characters and keeps you wanting more!! Thank you so much for this opportunity to read your book!!! @allywiegandauthor

I liked a lot about this book the set up and the lead characters and want to read the first book now too, and it was also slow in parts

Cute sports romance. Loved the fmc and the dislike dynamic between them. Wouldn’t recommend if your looking for spice

This was a great follow up to the first book. I was so excited when I saw this was available I knew I had to try to get it! I loved it just the same if not more!

I am so happy to be able to come back to this world of the author’s. Let me start out by saying how much I loved Lottie and Nolan together. But holy moly! Did this pair ever make me question whether or not they were going to get their Happily Ever After. Lottie’s carrying so much emotional baggage from the way she grew up. And Nolan’s finding it hard to get out of his own head to embrace the way his life’s about to change. It may have looked like hate at first sight between these two, yet they’re another couple proving that love and hate aren’t opposites. I loved watching them cheering and supporting each other to be their best selves. And that ending was absolutely stinking adorable. I can’t wait to see what they author brings us next from her Chicago players.
I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley.

Cute sports romance between the physical therapist and star quarterback. Lottie is career focused and wants to prove herself in a male dominated field. It takes time for Nolan to follow her plan, but eventually he agrees and their chemistry sparks.

Super cute sports romance and loving this series by Ally Wiegand.

This was a cute sports romance but there was SO much potential to make it amazing 😭

It started out really strong- our FMC Lottie gets hired as the physical therapist for an NFL team, and *surprise surprise* enter the grumpy NFL player, Nolan, recovering from an injury during his last season. Which I LOVE, don’t get me wrong!!! Lottie was driven & determined to be successful and I really admired that about her. Nolan was the typical grumpy MMC with a hidden soft side and I loved him! So no issues with the characters really.

The story was just TOO wordy and really started to drag. There was so much back & forth with their relationship and being friends then lovers then friends I was like ??? MAKE UP YOUR MIND 🤣!! I wish we had more on-page chemistry and tension. I really couldn’t understand why the characters liked each other, outside of proximity leading to attraction honestly. This was a closed-door romance which I also didn’t expect, but it was done nicely!

Overall, I liked this but it was just missing something.

Thank you Netgalley & the author for this arc!!

really enjoyed reading the first book in this series so I was excited to receive a copy of this one too! The romance between Lottie and Nolan was cute. I just wanted them to have a little more chemistry together. Overall a nice sports romance!


Thank you to NetGalley for the eARC!

I really enjoyed Ally Weigand’s first book in this series so I was excited to receive another ARC for Going For Two.

Overall I enjoyed this book! Sports Romances aren’t my usual go to genre but I like these. I enjoy the characters, friendships and found family portrayed in these books. I felt like there was a little something missing between the main characters, I wish they had just a little more detail and chemistry? I can’t quite put my finger on it. But I gave this book a very solid 3.75 star! I liked it a lot and I look forward to hopefully a third book in the series.
