Intercepted (Playbook #1)
by Alexa Martin
Marlee thought she scored the man of her dreams only to be scorched by a bad breakup. But there's a new player on the horizon, and he's in a league of his own...
Marlee Harper is the perfect girlfriend. She's definitely had enough practice by dating her NFL-star boyfriend for the last ten years. But when she discovers he has been tackling other women on the sly, she vows to never date an athlete again. There's just one problem: Gavin Pope, the new hotshot quarterback and a fling from the past, has Marlee in his sights.
Gavin fights to show Marlee he's nothing like her ex. Unfortunately, not everyone is ready to let her escape her past. The team's wives, who never led the welcome wagon, are not happy with Marlee's return. They have only one thing on their minds: taking her down. But when the gossip makes Marlee public enemy number one, she worries about more than just her reputation.
Between their own fumbles and the wicked wives, it will take a Hail Mary for Marlee and Gavin's relationship to survive the season.
3.75 - 4 Stars
The was a debut novel for Alexa Martin and I suggest you get used to seeing her name popping up here and there. She brings to us a super sassy and fun romcom with some sparkle and bling in this sports romance. Settle in with your glass of wine and a side of chocolate and get ready for all the drama that surrounds this NFL football team and their crazy spouses.
Marlee finds herself the only ring less significant other of the team. This does not go overlooked by many of the wives and is rubbed in her face on a regular basis. She is completely her own person thought, holding a job of her own and not just living off her mans money. She is a confident woman who fell for the wrong man, and when that comes to light we watch her take charge of her future. She wasn't prepared for Gavin Pope and all he has to offer.
Gavin is super swoony and certainly what the doctor ordered. Being new to the team doesn't slow him down in his perusal of a teammates ex. Can Gavin be Marlee's HEA?
I look forward to see what Ms Martin has in store for us next!
