A Second Chance At Love: Football Style

If you could sum up Fantasy Football Romance - Box Set: Seasons 1-4 in three words, what would they be?

Chicklit Sports Romance

What was one of the most memorable moments of Fantasy Football Romance - Box Set: Seasons 1-4?

When Gabby meets her father Billy!

Which scene was your favorite?

The prenuptial agreement! Was both really funny and showed the true character of Liam :)

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The proposal in the last book. It was perfect and poignant :)

Any additional comments?


This is a fun chicklit series that centers around a professional football team and second chances both at love and at life. The characters are likeable and relatable as well as believable. There is plenty of humor and a lot of steamy love scenes to keep any contemporary romance lover happy! I really enjoyed the listening experience and hope the author finds a reason to continue the series as I am not quite ready to leave this world yet. Each book has its own HEA,



***This series is suitable for adult readers who enjoy chicklit steamy sports romances with a HEA and a good dose of humor :)

Light, fun and sexy football rom series!

Enjoyable series :-) I enjoy the author's insider knowledge of football and the sense of humor she puts into her characters. Just the right amount of conflict, nicely written sex scenes (hot but never crude) and interesting, entertaining characters.

A great boxset

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

Not read like she was reading, when she was in character she did a bang up job but the rest of it wasn't very good.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

sadly no

Any additional comments?

The box-set itself was very good the author knows her sports and gave very interesting stories. I found the stories to be very entertaining. I do plan to go read the books themselves I feel it would be a much better read than listening. I feel I missed a lot by listening and not reading this set.

I thought Christine Padovan did a wonderful job when she was in character. I felt the emotions and the passion they felt however when she working on the rest of the book she sounded like she was just reading and trying too hard. I feel in time she could be a wonderful narrator once she puts as much passion into the rest of the book as she did the character parts. I heard no background noise or any breaks throughout the listen. She hit the correct tones for each character. You had no trouble telling who was talking or if they were male or female.

I had a hard time listening to the whole audio. She would pick me up and let me down going in and out of characters. I would love to listen to more from this narrator once she works on the above.

Hot sports romances!

--I was given a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

I love Liz Matis. This box set of 4 stories just solidifies my love of her stories. Fantasy Football gives us 4 different women and their journey to their relationship with the man of their dreams. Little did they know that each one would choose a man that is a football player for the Detroit Cougars. Each strong woman has their own story. I especially loved Hannah and Jake. Something about them finding each other and making their relationship work with their two very demanding careers had me routing for them from the first book in this series. I was glad this was book two so I didn't have to wait too long.

If you enjoy sport romances, this is for you. Romance, a little suspense, hot sex and gorgeous men...you will love it.

Christine Padovan delivers another great performance. She is able to transfer the same voices for each character from book to book and bring the whole thing to life.

Fun, Sexy Football Drama? YES!



This is a set of four stories written in the Fantasy Football series. I had the opportunity to read Book One sometime ago and enjoyed it immensely. I could not believe my luck when *I was offered this set of books to listen to in exchange for the following review.

Each of the four stories revolve around professional football players. The owner of team is important throughout as well.

There are a wide variety of characters each book also revolves around the women who may or may not become interested, for their own reasons. One is a football reporter – having come back from covering events in the Middle East. Another is a supermodel who travels the world for her career. The woman in the third book is about a past that includes a child & the fourth is the football team owners daughter, a reality TV show darling.

Everything was fantastic except for the fourth book, which combined strict, Christian beliefs – including abstinence. The author made it work but I was confused about the manner in which it was presented. It comes together but still felt a bit off. I'm still processing how I feel about that, myself.

If you are a fan of hot, graphic encounters between a man and a woman, this series has it. Each have a plot that is believable and begs you to finish the book in one sitting (at over 13 hours that is difficult.)

Christine Padovan did an okay job. Her cadence was a bit singsong and it felt like I was listening to a haiku. It certainly did not ruin the book, I found it distracting.

Notes: Mature themes, Strong language & a bit of violence.
If this were a movie rating without changes it would be NC-17
Stars: Story & Overall 4 stars each, the narration/performance received 3.

♥ I read the reviews of others before I purchase a book. If you found my review helpful in your decision about this book, would you please select yes directly below this paragraph? Thank you so much. Please consider "following me" here on Audible.com.

Football and Romance - Great Combination and Set

Fantasy Football Romance Box Set Season 1-4 consists of four books, Playing for Keeps, Going for It, Huddle Up, and The Quarterback Sneak. The two best stories are Playing for Keeps and Going for It.

Playing for Keeps is about Samantha Jameson and Ryan Terrell. Samantha is an investigator reporter coming back from Iraq over an incident gone bad which she is responsible for. Being a sport journalist is a change in pace for her except she has always had a crush for Ryan Terrell. She uncovered a steroid scandal which could ruined the career for one of Ryan's teammate. Could she trust Ryan and could she decides which is important to her, the story or Ryan?

Going for It is Hannah Hahn and Jake Miller's story. Hannah has played a hand in matchmaking Samantha and Ryan with Jake's help. Hannah has never stayed in a relationship and has been labeled as the notorious man-eater by reputation. When Jake wanted more from Hannah, Hannah tried to end their relationship. Of course, Samantha was going to pay Hannah in kind for matchmaking her and Jake.

Going for It has a nicely played storyline of self-image. Hannah, even though she is a highly demanded supermodel, is dealing with her self-image past and present. Readers/listeners will love Jake for making her realized that beauty is inside out.

Huddle Up is Angel O'Malley and Billy Burner's story. Angel is forced to sue Billy for past child support believing that he has abandoned her and that her father has gambled away her bar and left her with nothing. As Billy tried to connect with his five-years old daughter, Billy has discovered the two people that kept him and Angel apart. Readers/Listeners will love Samantha, Ryan, Hannah, and Jake's appearance in this story.

The Quarterback Sneak is Hayden Middleton and Liam McQueen's story. Hayden has tried her best in getting her father's attention but ended up as the wild party girl. Liam is a recovering alcoholic who is trying to find a balance between his faith in God and the football fame that made him lose his way. Both discovered that each are trying a secret. Readers/Listeners will missed Samantha and Ryan's appearance in this story.

The narrator, Christine Padovan does a wonderful job in narrating these four stories. By the time the fourth story is narrated, the narrator seemed to have lost some emotion steam. However, the listeners will enjoyed all four books.

The author did a great job in writing all four sport romance stories on four different themes. This is an author that readers/listeners will look forward to in sport romance.

I was given this audiobook by the narrator via Audiobook Blast in exchange for an honest review. I was not compensated or influenced in any way for writing this review.

Ugh! Horrible narrator!!

The stories themselves were OK (at least the portion of the one I listened to). But the narrator was so deadpan it was like listening to a robot. I could not stand it and stopped four chapters in.
