About this listen
It started with a crush. The best stories always do.
Our story sounds predictable, short-lived, and destined for failure.
Lincoln Beckett is the star wide receiver at Brighton University—
smart, funny, and, like many would guess, heartbreak shines in his dark eyes and is etched across his jaw.
He's popular, a guaranteed draft pick, and, worst of all, my brother's best friend.
I tried not to like him. I have an entire list of reasons. Reasons that have become my rules for dating. Rules that Lincoln continues bending.
From USA Today bestselling author Mariah Dietz comes a delicious, angsty, and addictive sports romance about falling for your brother's best friend.

Story
My entire life changed in an instant. One violent moment took my mother and destroyed me. I can't even remember it. All I know is…it was my fault. Now I'm entering senior year after hiding away from the world for as long as I could. The only distraction I have from the heavy weight of my scars is my best friend, Graham. He's been my rock through it all. When his cousin Atlas appears, my world suddenly tilts on its already unsteady axis. Everyone warns me to stay away from the star football player with a bad boy reputation and a chip on his shoulder.

Story
Knox Maguire is the king of our college campus, the star offensive tight end on the football team. He is the complete opposite of me in every way. I'm quiet. He's loud. I'm shy. He's definitely not. Everyone loves him. No one knows me. Fresh out of a breakup, I don't really trust him, and why should I? Knox is the ultimate player. When I become his English tutor, I tell myself we need to keep things between us strictly business. Watching my mother deal with my ex-athlete father long ago taught me to stay far away from that type of man. Yet Knox is impossible to resist.

I’ve never met someone so determined to piss me off. Soren Brehm thinks he’s my personal hero because he has something I need, but he can’t solve all my problems with a wicked smile and a spacious second bedroom. Not until I get past his football star façade and realize he sees me, really sees me. I don’t need saving—but maybe I need him.

Maybe she was just mine to have.

Five hockey players, a cabin in the woods...and little old me, Winnie Berlin. Sounds like the start of a fantasy, right? But it's not. It's my reality. It all started when I got lost in the middle of the Canadian Rockies. A wicked thunderstorm sent my car mud sliding into a ditch, and for a girl whose survival skills involve finding the nearest Starbucks, I was in deep trouble. Forced to abandon my car in search of help, I stumbled upon a cabin in the middle of nowhere.

Pine River was supposed to be a new start for me. And it was, especially attending school with my three overprotective cousins, who were the triplets at the top of the social hierarchy. Except they weren’t alone there, and the first day when I came to school, I saw him. Scout Raiden. Tall. Lean. Tattooed. Mesmerizing. He was a golden god with dark and piercing eyes—looking like he wanted to eat me up. The feeling was mutual, and that was a problem.

He's baseball's biggest heartbreaker. I'm a recovering romantic...and his new trainer. Parker Knight is a smooth-talking pitcher with a smile for days and a roster of broken hearts behind him. Those are only a few reasons why a guy like him is never getting near my heart. After making a move to prove I deserve a place within my dad's baseball empire, the last thing on my mind is a playboy pitcher. I didn't know who he was when we randomly met off the field, and Parker certainly had no idea I'm the team owner's daughter. He thought I was going to be his next conquest.

Jade Moore is not my type. She's a good girl and has her entire life mapped out. I've never met anyone like her. The girl is disciplined and determined. I'm not. She follows the rules. I don't. She's sunshine and girl next door. I'm sex and booze. We don't mix. But from the minute I lay my eyes on her, I'm done for. She's everything I never knew I wanted.

Story
Secretly hooking up with the team captain's sister was a bad idea. In my defense, the first time I saw her I didn't know who she was. Kind, gorgeous, a little naïve. Ginny brightened my world from day one. I knew I was no good for her. She was just out of a relationship, and I had a reputation for having a new girl in my bed every weekend. I tried to do the right thing. Honest. I'm the one who insisted we should be just friends. That lasted about as long as you'd expect. But Ginny? She's the best - best friend, best everything.

Cute College romance
This is a brothers bff/forbidden/football romance. Very cute I enjoyed it. There are definitely some unanswered questions so I’m excited to listen to the next one in the series to find out what happens next.

Anything but the norm
You think the is going to be a steamy smut read, but it’s that and so much more, so much more. I love all the characters in this story as well. I couldn’t stop reading it, read this in a day and a half and currently reading book 2.
I’m craving to know about all the twist & turns and the small lingering storyline that is at the waistline.

Very hard to keep going
Very slow book, so much back and forth between Lincoln and Regan. Does he like me? Oh I think he does, oh he doesn’t so I’m going to move on, oh yes he likes me. Also a lot of moving parts (for lack of a better description) in this book. You’ve got the mysterious Kranes left on her car and porch. Then her dad is very suspicious, I feel like something is going on there. Derek is a walking red flag. Regan is quite immature, I get she is 18 but still very immature. If i hadn’t already purchased the second book (and it’s too late to get a refund) I’d probably just be done with this duet.
