Love in the Zone

A second chance, chemistry off the charts, and a love of football in common should really spell a match made in heaven. But emotional scars, conflicting agendas, and personal commitments may very well be too many obstacles to mend what was broken in the past.

Frankie and Rush are complex characters that both have vivid memories of the love that wasn’t meant to be; but the reasons they were once so perfect together, still simmers beneath the surface of their volatile reunion.

Love in the Zone is a great edition to the Gridiron Knights and is well-written story with an appealing cast. Sports, angst, drama and sexual tension; what more could a reader want!

Elizabeth Spaur writes not only a deeply passionate love story with real and distinct plotlines and primary characters but also developes secondary characters and subplots that are interesting without becoming distracting or overpowering the plain storyline. She introduces new friends as well as old old favorites without leaving the reader feeling overwhelmed by too many people and situations in which to keep track.

This is the second book in the Gridiron Kinghts saga I’ve read. Although it’s a continuation in a series, I really felt I could be reading a standalone. There wasn’t the feeling that I might have missed something by not reading the prior books and the author didn’t spend time alluding to, or over rehashing, past situations. She did a good job of filling in blanks in a ‘brought up in the regular course of conversation’ way that would naturally occur as you brought someone new to a situation up to speed.

I also enjoyed the fact that although the love scenes were passionate, they weren’t overly gratuitous or pulled focus from the main story. It felt like a natural part of the story instead of the reader being force fed erotica.

I also laughed out loud, getting many a weird stare, numerous times throughout this book.

Although you don’t have to read the prior books to enjoy Love in the Zone, Elizabeth Spaur makes her stories so interesting you’ll want to go back and read the series from the beginning. Any lover of the romanctic genre will want to add Elizabeth Spaur to their list if go-to authors.

An enjoyable read, with a romance and a mystery in the story. Great characters, and although this is the first book of the series I have read, I don't think it mattered. I'm not American so some of the college and sport terminology was lost on me!

Very good book! I really like this series!! You don't have to read the whole series to enjoy the books though! This book was my least favorite but I still liked it a lot more than what I've been reading! This is Francesca and Rushford book, Fran is a woman in a man's world, former marine and star wide receiver in a woman's football league. She gets her dream job as a football coach at Cormac university! Rush also gets offered a job at Cormac but doesn't think he's staying long and can't wait to get back to England! They met six years ago and got hot and heavy but Fran listened to rush ex garbage and thought he was a cheating jerk! So they get thrown together and the sparks are still there! It's a really good story! It was funny, hot, action, drama, suspense! Definitely don't miss out on this one! Thank you Netgalley and the publishers for sharing this book with me for an honest review!

Absolutely unputdownable! Elisabeth Spaur is a new favourite of mine. Can’t wait for more from this author.
