As a football/soccer fan I am always looking forward to read books set in the football business. "For the Win" has two characters playing football successfully.

I had my problems with the characters to be honest and didn't find them very likeable. It got better throughout the book but still I couldn't really connect with Lainey and Gabe.
Although I am usually a bit fan of love/hate romances it didn't properly work out for me with this story. I couldn't feel the connection or any sparks between the two protagonists.

I also missed a proper football setting with games etc. I found the competition between the men's and the women's team a bit ridiculous and some of the challenges were not very entertaining.

Overall the story read some more potential but unfortunately it was only an ok read for me.

It's been a while since I read this book and it was a DNF for me. I didn't connect with the characters, the story or the writing style. At the time, it was also a mood thing. I had plans to get back to it, only that never happened. I did purchase a copy of the book though.

Lainey Lukas has always found it tough to talk to the press, but as the captain of her professional soccer team it's part of her job. But Gabe will soon find out that although he respects and grows to really care for Lainey, there is a huge disparity when it comes to the clout, the money and prestige between women's and men's professional sports.

When trying to help Lainey during her first big interview after an almost career ending injury and the announcement of her captainship to professional team of the Falcons, Gabe causes her a bit more embarrassment. He even messes up trying to apologize when he sends her flowers, which she's allergic to. One of their public disagreements causes a media storm and their fight goes public with a series of events their teams will compete against each other called "The Battle Of The Sexes." It's great advertising for both teams and galvanizes the age old question, are women just as good as men... if not better.

This throws Lainey and Gabe closer together where Gabe must convince Lainey that they could possibly have a future together.

Going after each other in some very cute outcomes, this was kinda sweet. It felt a little familiar to me, but I don't know why as I haven't read this author before. I liked it enough to give the next book a try as I loved the c0-captain, Jaime. She was funny and I'm definitely willing to see what her story is about.

I seriously adored this book.
It was so good, and gave me that sports romance fix I needed.

Plus i loved the characters and well written story line.
It made for a great book that I couldn't read fast enough.

This one was a DNF for me. I tried, but the whole battle of the sexes was a little too much for me.

Found this book a bit it hard to get into the story, which was ok and had alright characters but will try again in the future with this author. Thanks for letting me try your book.
