Will

Football was always simple—follow the playbook, make the sacrifice, win the game.

I lived by that rule for decades, and it cost me everything. My marriage. My daughter.

By ten, she believed I loved the game more than her. Now she’s back in my life—with a family of her own—I fight every day to show her I’ve changed.

Then I fumble it all by falling for her best friend.

Amanda is strong, stubborn, and raising her daughter alone after her husband’s betrayal.

One kiss becomes something neither of us can ignore.

She wants to keep it secret. I don’t.

Because this time, I’m willing to risk the play. I won’t lose my second chance at love.

Amanda

I always knew I wanted to be a mother. I just never planned on doing it alone.

But when my ex got his assistant pregnant, I stopped, waiting for the life I thought I’d have—and choose motherhood for myself.

Now I’m a single mom doing my best to build a quiet, steady life with no drama and no risks.

Until my best friend’s father becomes the one risk I can’t resist.

Coach Warner is disciplined, respected… and completely off limits.

Watching him fight for his daughter only makes falling for him more dangerous.

We tell ourselves it’s just once.

But one reckless kiss turns into a night we can’t take back—and a secret we definitely can’t afford to keep.

Because if we’re discovered, I could lose my best friend…

And he could lose his daughter all over again.

Falling for me was never part of his playbook.

RELEASE BLITZ for Change the Play by Kaylee Ryan



Title: Change the Play
Series: Nashville Rampage #5
Author: Kaylee Ryan
Genre: Contemporary Sports Romance
Tropes: Football/Found Family/Forced Proximity
Workplace Romance
Release Date: March 3, 2026

BLURB

NYT and USA Today Bestselling author Kaylee Ryan brings you a new standalone series surrounding the Nashville Rampage football team. Change the Play is a found family, forced proximity, workplace, sports romance.

Foster

I learned early how to survive on my own. Keep my head down and my past locked away.

My childhood taught me that nothing lasts and no one chooses you forever. So I built a life free from love—and pain.

Football gave me discipline. Success gave me distance. Silence kept me safe.

Then Eden walked into my house.

My new housekeeper. Someone meant to clean my messes and remain on the edges of my life.

Except she didn’t stay on the edges. She saw me—really saw me—and didn’t look away. Her laugh somehow turned my empty house into something that felt like a home.

With her, the walls I spent years building began to crack.

Loving her means risking everything. It means believing I’m worth choosing. She makes me want to stop hiding… and change the play.

Eden

I know what it’s like to grow up unwanted. To pack your life into boxes and pretend it doesn’t hurt when no one ever unpacks them for you.

Loneliness taught me independence and resilience, to build a family from the people who stay. I never expected more.

Then I met Foster.

He’s quiet and guarded, carrying the weight of a past he refuses to name.

Working for him was supposed to be simple—do my job, keep my head down, don’t cross lines.

But the more time we spend together, the more I see the man beneath the armor. The one he hides from the world.

We weren’t looking for love. Yet somewhere in the stolen moments, we chose each other.

And for the first time, I’m not just building a family—I’m finally home.

Review for & Release for Speared by You by Jessica Buss

Title: Speared by You
Series: Chicago Steel Series
Author: Jessica Buss
Genre: Contemporary Sports Romance, Second Chance Romance
Release Date: November 1, 2023




★★★★★ “... a captivating second-chance romance that spans over years.” - Elizabeth

★★★★★ “Jessica Buss has another hit on her hands!” - Mrs Taz



Tristan
Since he was little, Tristan’s dream has been to play in the NHL. Then he falls in love with his soul mate in high school. A few years after being drafted, an injury cuts his professional career short. Devastated, he questions what is next for him. Instead of seeking solace from the woman who’s remained faithfully by his side, he pushes her away.

Stephanie
Since high school, Stephanie’s known she is going to do two things: marry Tristan Murphy and get a degree in business. Her plan is to work for a non-profit that focuses on breast cancer. Several years later, though, she finds herself recently divorced and in a new city with a new job. And she’s learned a couple of major life lessons. 1. Life can be tricky. 2. We don’t always get what we want.

What happens when their paths cross again?

This was an emotionally raw story that tugged on the reader's heartstrings and it felt like you were breaking your heart in two.

Tristan and Stephanie were high school sweethearts who were deeply in love and never saw a couple in love more than this couple. They both made mistakes the insecurities got the best of them both. We felt that Stephanie was making all the sacrifices in their relationship but, we think both characters were naive to think their relationship/ marriage would not struggle especially knowing what Tristan did for a living. 

This story had its ups and downs and struggles and the couple made it harder on themselves because communication was lacking in their relationship.

Overall we enjoyed the story and we are glad a second chance was given to this couple because they truly belonged together. They played a part in not getting it right the first time around especially when your careers are going in two different directions. 

After so many years apart we loved that they never stopped loving one another their bond was still there and their chemistry was still awesome. We will say we loved the growth of Tristan's character and that he found happiness even if his dreams changed. 

After being on Tristan and Stephanie's journey of love and happiness our hearts went to the couple's pain and suffering we never saw the ending to the story happening the way it did not sure we enjoyed it but, we will say Tristan you kept your promises this time around.


4 stars from us
