“A swoony, high-stakes sports romance with well-developed characters, rich emotional depth, and a fake-dating trope infused with cultural nuance, this story beautifully balances professional ambition with a heartfelt connection between a hockey player and a sports photographer. A must-read for hockey lovers and anyone counting down to the Winter Olympics!”

The Shots You Take

By Rachel Reid, narrated by Greg Boudreaux

“Rachel Reid took me on a rollercoaster ride and man I was not ready. Adam and Riley made my heart ache and, even knowing the ending would be happy, I was at the edge of my seat. Reid’s characters are nm so precious and she has a wonderful ability to talk about mental health issues & queerness in sports. This one was tough, I feel splayed open, but damn that was good.”

With so much humor, spice and the high stakes of college aquatic sports this book will become your new favorite.”

The Long Game

By Elena Armas, narrated by Frankie Corzo & Shane East

“Queen Elena Armas has gifted us with a woodsy small town romance featuring a strong but sensitive ex-pro footballer opposite a guarded girlboss who doesn’t know her worth. Both are running away and healing from something, whether they like it or not. He’s super competitive; she’s in crisis mode. I absolutely loved the setting, premise, and characters – the execution was a little clumsy at times, but it was so worth it in the end! Shane East’s narration of Cam – who is such a sweet and sexy caretaking hero—was *chef’s kiss*.”

When Grumpy Met Sunshine

By Charlotte Stein, narrated by Emily Spowage

“A curvy, bubbly ghostwriter finds herself in a fake dating scheme with a hard, grumpy footballer a la Ted Lasso’s Roy Kent in this rom-com about being yourself and embracing your softness that’s as HOT as it is hilarious! Highly recommended for fans of grumpy/sunshine pairs, Cinderella/celebrity romances, when it’s painfully obvious they’re head over cleats in LOVE but they’re total utter numpties/silly gooses about it, and absolutely FILTHY dirty talk.”

Cleat Cute

By Meryl Wilsner, narrated by Dana Varden & Zim Avaltrades

“Everything you could want in a sapphic soccer romance. Friendly competition between two neurodivergent queers turns super STEAMY in the locker room only to cool down into a thoughtful friendship with the potential for so much more. Including all the great character development you’d get from a Ted Lasso-esque show! Great Chemistry!”

Icebreaker

By A.L. Graziadei, narrated by Tom Picasso

“I’m going to level with you – everything I know about sports I either learned against my will or from other queer media (hello, Check, Please!) and I still absolutely loved this enemies-to-lovers college hockey romance. I was not quite expecting the relatable representation of anxiety and depression, or such a poignant exploration of what it means to figure out who you are on your own terms!”

The Right Swipe

By Alisha Rai, narrated by Summer Morton & Brian Pallino

“With a diverse cast of emotionally mature yet complex characters, The Right Swipe delivers an interesting and fun modern love story. Rai’s finger is obviously on the pulse as she engages with current trends such as the #MeToo movement, and she does so masterfully while still creating a fun and enjoyable read. I wish all my beach-and-bath romance novels could be so well-written and inclusive.”
