Another winner in this amazing series! I just couldn’t stop listening to Manhandled, I had to know what was happening between Tanner and Luke. Their banter is the best, and their love so clear. They’re great together, making me swoon and grin the whole book through. It was great to have all the guys in one place together as well, I love it when other characters pop into their friends’ stories!

Definitely listen to the audio if you can, Jacob Morgan and Teddy Hamilton lifted this story to another level! Go read this book if you’re looking for a great, steamy, friends to lovers sports romance!

I love this series so much! All the guys from the podcast are amazing, and their journeys to happiness make me so happy. Marcus is the sweetest man, I feel like he’s the heart of the group. I loved Kai each time he popped up in the earlier books, and he deserves all the love. Marcus and Kai are so good for each other, making the other an even better person. Love, love, love!

I really liked this murder mystery romance! The mystery kept me on my toes, and the romance between Michael and Jazz made me so happy! Plenty of steam but it never feels out of place during the investigation. I’m glad I found this book, and I’ll be reading the next one!

YES! I’m so happy that I picked up this book, I love it so much! It was the perfect balance of sweet and serious for me. Luca and Oliver made me swoon, they made me laugh, and they even made me tear up. I just couldn’t stop reading, and I stayed up way past my bedtime to finish it. Be prepared to start craving pastries and pasta while reading this book, I was hungry the whole time!

I’m so happy I finally read Backslide! I loved Nash and Adrian, and I’m very proud of them both. The book shows clearly how some people suck and are the worst, while still having love and positivity guide the plot. It’s about choosing your own family, and Nash and Adrian definitely find the best one!

This book was amazing! I love Nate and Hunter so much, their chemistry is clear from the moment they meet and all throughout the story. They had so many great swoony moments together, and I was happy I was at home the whole time listening to the book because I had the biggest grin for so many moments! And then as a bonus we had some of the other guys from the team and other books pop in here and there, I loved it!

The audiobook is performed in duet style, which added even more to the story for me. Both Teddy Hamilton and James Joseph brought the guys to life so well! I’ve said it in other reviews for Lauren Blakely books and I’ll say it again, she always has the best cast for her audiobooks, making them even more enjoyable than the story alone already is!

It’s always nice when a book can surprise you. I got this book in my romance subscription and while I might not have chosen it myself, I did love it! It was fun, fast paced, and very enjoyable. The divorce certificate added an element of mystery without overtaking the road to romance. I especially liked how well Suzie and Lars communicated, even if they both might not wanted to at times. That always makes my heart happy!

This was a great, quick novella, just what I was looking for! I love Jon and Oliver, and their story was so good! I’m so happy that it never felt rushed, and they’re perfect together!

This was such a good read! I loved how big the suspense element was, without taking away from the romance. The balance was just right. I also loved the moments it was clear how Griffin was struggling, the tension with Savanna was obvious from the moment they meet, but his reasoning to stay away made so much sense until it didn’t. Definitely going to continue this series!

I was very excited to read Aleks’s story, and I’m so happy now! He and Gabe are great together, and I loved exploring their relationship. The communication was great, even if it did take some time at moments before they got there. It’s always fun to have other guys from the Collective show up, and Gabe fits right in there with the other partners!
