About this listen
Texas Titans quarterback Kade Kincaid, affectionately known by his fans as "Zeus", doesn’t want to go to some stupid bachelor auction, and he really doesn’t want some newbie PR rep babysitting him, but a crazed-supermodel stalker won’t leave him alone, and he needs someone to block for him.
Felicity Song has plans for her PR career, and babysitting a spoiled billionaire quarterback wasn’t one of them. When he demands she "fake" buy him at the auction or risk losing her job, she takes the assignment with one demand: She will not go on a date with him.
Too bad Zeus is as cocky as his namesake and won’t let her off the hook. When she plans a perfectly horrible date full of activities Kade hates, she’s blindsided when he agrees to actually jump out of a plane with her and even more surprised when he kisses her. Good thing she slaps him and discovers...this Greek god’s flesh is just as fragile as any other mortal man.
When a tragedy strikes Felicity and Kade steps up to help her, she has to make a choice: lose her one shot at love...or do the one thing she’s told herself she would never do again.

Story
Izzy Knight walked away from her father's billions and his Titans football team to become a nurse practitioner at a children's hospital. She's busy and accomplished and certainly has no room in her life for a larger-than-life football player who goes through women faster than she completes a shift at the hospital. Xavier Newton loves football but hates the games that go along with it. When the owner of the Titans forces him and his buddies to be sold like cattle at a bachelor auction he barely endures the event, until a feisty brunette bids half a million dollars for him.

But there are unexpected enemies lurking in the shadows. And no matter how tough River seems, no one can withstand the army her father will send when he discovers her location.

Lucky - that’s how Hunter James would describe himself. Even while growing up dirt poor on a farm in Texas. Even when he’d found himself in a war zone in Afghanistan. Even before he’d struck it rich in oil and then won the forty acres of horse property in Jackson, Wyoming. He’d always known he’d be rich someday. That’s how life went when you decided to make your own luck. Summer Kingston left Jackson ten years ago…for a reason. She came back with the hope of raising her son in a safe environment, but the deck seems stacked against her.

Max proposed we spend the summer helping me forget my ex. It sounded like a good plan. Things couldn’t get too serious when we had an expiration date. Right? Though, you know what they say about the best-laid plans.

Loved it!
This was my first Taylor Hart's book. This story is part of the Texas Titan Romance Series. I love the story of Felicity and Kade. Their story is heartbreaking and afterward heartwarming and beautiful. I love the ending and the Epilogue. Now, I want to listen to the others books in the Series. The narration was really great, as always with Aaron Shedlock. I received this free review copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.

Hot NFL quarterback- check! Sassy PR Rep- Check! Sweet wholesome romance in a pretty box. Taylor gave us a sweet, witty romance with great characters. I loved the back and forth between Kade and his PR rep, Felicity. Kade is used to having everyone swoon over him so when Felicity doesn't bat an eye or swoon his way, he is thrown off his game and challenged in a way he has not been before.
Narration on this is fantastic! Aaron no only gives a great performance but has a voice that you could listen to all day. His female narrations are superb as well. Fantastic listen!

Tough Love
What a fun listen! From the very beginning I was pulled into the story. This is a light romance that might not be heavy on steam, but plenty of chemistry and story to make it much better than the often lighter fluff that's full of sex, but no real connection or story. This is my first Taylor Hart book and I really enjoyed the writing. It was first presented to me as a "clean" listen, so I wasn't sure what to expect. But, I can't say enough, there was plenty of chemistry and romance to the point that it was much better than many that have lot's of steamy action but are light on story and development. So, if you like a real story along with your romance, you won't be disappointed.
Aaron Shedlock does a wonderful job. I am a fan and have heard many of his narrations. He gives us a southern accent that I enjoyed in this one, and was just such a great Zeus. Well, he was great with all the characters as usual. Definitely worth the credit and time to listen.

Love when the jock falls for the quiet girl
Felicity is a PR rep, and has been tasked w ‘babysitting’ quarterback Kade Kincaid. Felicity doesn’t think highly of the spoiled jock but when he blackmails her to bid on him at a bachelor auction...well, she plans on having some fun! Felicity plans activities that Kade will hate, but this ends up with the opposite effect. Instead of being turned off, Kade is even more intrigued. Felicity is hiding a secret that could jeopardize any relationship...but, again, Kade doesn’t run. Is this the woman that finally gets Kade ‘Zeus’ Kincaid to settle down? Bit of drama w Kade’s brother, dad & a gold digger but we get a beautiful HEA.

Sassy leading lady
Tough Love Groom has the funniest leading lady that I have read in a while! She will do whatever she can to keep the hunky football player at arms length and he is doing everything he can to keep her close. I spent most of this book laughing at their interactions and loved every single one. I love how this sports romance isn't all about sports!
The narration was fantastic! Aaron Shedlock is definitely becoming one of my favorite male narrators!

Pefect and sweet
A wonderful story full of sweetness and romance.
Kade and Felicity are both strong and determine characters, they have an amazing chemistry and even though Felicity tries to fight it she ends up falling for Kade.
I like that is wasn't so much drama in it, there isn't also a lot of steam but it wasn't a bad thing since the tenderness and nice moments are enough here.
Aaron Shedlock did an amazing job narrating this book his voice was perfect for it.

New author and narrator to me. I enjoyed the story and the narrator. The skydiving scene had me laughing. The castle and beach was like a fairytale. The scene in the hospital brought tears to my eyes

Fun and Sweet Love Story
Overall 4 stars
Performance 5 stars
Story 3.5 stars
This was a fun and sweet love story. There isn't a lot of steam, but there are plenty of tender moments and lots of emotion. Aaron Shedlock narrated the story perfectly and I enjoyed both his male and female voices. He was vulnerable, but fiery as Felicity, but also arrogant and charming as Kade. I liked that there wasn't too much drama between our hero and heroine, but rather it focused more on external drama that they had to face (both individually and together). There is instalove between our characters and the story was predictable, but it was still an enjoyable listen. There are several tropes used in the story - fake relationship, employer/employee taboo, sports, quiet heroine/reformed player, etc. They all worked well together though and the story left me with a smile on my face.
