Narrator: Samantha Brentmoor | Aaron Shedlock 

Play Call by Lisa Suzanne is the second installment in the Vegas Aces: The Coach series, and it takes readers on a heartfelt journey filled with second chances, unresolved feelings, and complex dynamics. This sports romance blends the intensity of past love with the pressures of present-day challenges, creating a story that’s both compelling and emotionally charged. 

The book centers around a trip that forces Jolene to share a hotel room with Lincoln Nash, the new head coach of the Vegas Aces. The one-bed trope adds a delightful tension as they confront feelings that have been simmering for two decades. The history between them is layered with bitterness and a deep-seated family rivalry, making their struggle to reconcile both passionate and tumultuous. 

What makes Play Call particularly engaging is the conflict of interest between the characters. Being a member of the media, she faces professional boundaries that complicate her relationship with Lincoln, while accusations surrounding how she landed her job only add to the stakes. The introduction of a fake relationship with her best friend as a public cover is an intriguing twist, intensifying the romantic tension as they navigate the blurred lines of their private and public lives. 

Lincoln Nash's character is fascinating as he grapples with his past and the need to maintain his career's integrity while dealing with his rekindled feelings. The chemistry between the two leads is undeniable, and the push-and-pull dynamic keeps readers invested in whether they'll find a way to overcome the obstacles standing in their way. 

Lisa Suzanne’s writing is smooth and engaging, with the right balance of emotional depth and playful banter. The narrative explores themes of loyalty, trust, and the impact of choices made under pressure. As part of the Vegas Aces: The Coach series, it’s essential to read the books in order, as the storylines and character arcs build on each other. 

Play Call is a fantastic read for fans of sports romance and second-chance love stories, particularly those who enjoy a blend of emotional complexity, sizzling chemistry, and a hint of forbidden romance. If you enjoy stories where past and present collide in the world of professional sports, this book will keep you hooked from start to finish.
