About this listen

She's the only woman he wants...and the only one he can't have.

Asher Donovan is a living legend—the darling of the Premier League, the (arguably) greatest footballer in the world.

But his reckless antics and recent team transfer have caused much controversy, and when his feud with his rival-turned-teammate costs them a championship, they’re forced to “bond” during off-season cross-training.

Surviving the summer shouldn’t be hard…until Asher meets their new trainer. She’s beautiful, talented, and no matter how hard he tries, he can’t take his mind off her.

The only problem? She’s his rival’s sister—and completely off limits.

***

Scarlett DuBois is a former prima ballerina whose career was cut short by a tragic accident.

Now a teacher at a prestigious dance academy but still haunted by the ghosts of her past, the last thing she wants is to spend the summer cross-training Asher Donovan, of all people.

She swore she would never date a footballer, but when her brother leaves town for an emergency, she finds herself thrown into dangerously close proximity with the gorgeous, charming striker.

Training, she can deal with. But falling in love? That’s out of the question—especially when he’s the only person with the power to break her heart.

Editorial Review

A sexy start to a new sports series
A soccer romance from Ana Huang? Yes, please! The Twisted and Kings of Sin author scores big time with her first sports romance, the story of a Premier League footballer who falls for his rival’s sister, a former prima ballerina. While I don’t come across it often, I really love duet-style narration –where each performer reads the dialogue and action of their character across all chapters – and here, narrators Shane East and Stella Hunter make Huang’s sexy banter truly shine, volleying back and forth to create the most delicious romantic tension. Their charming accents and smooth delivery of swoony heartfelt words had me pining for Asher and Scarlett to find their happily ever after. I can’t wait to hear what Huang has for us next in this sporty series. —Margaret H., Audible Editor

I enjoyed this as much as the sins series. Easy to read, not exaggerated and, while annoying, the conflicts in the story are understandable.

I’d recommend reading the sins series (1-3) first though

Ana! You did it again.

Love all of Ana Huang's books but this one was a little boring in my opinion.
