Audiobook Review | The Striker – sara reads romance

She’s the only woman he wants…and the only one he can’t have.

Asher Donovan is a living legend—the darling of the Premier League, the (arguably) greatest footballer in the world.

But his reckless antics and recent team transfer have caused much controversy, and when his feud with his rival-turned-teammate costs them a championship, they’re forced to “bond” during off-season cross-training.

Surviving the summer shouldn’t be hard…until Asher meets their new trainer. She’s beautiful, talented, and no matter how hard he tries, he can’t take his mind off her.

The only problem? She’s his rival’s sister—and completely off limits.

***

Scarlett DuBois is a former prima ballerina whose career was cut short by a tragic accident.

Now a teacher at a prestigious dance academy but still haunted by the ghosts of her past, the last thing she wants is to spend the summer cross-training Asher Donovan, of all people .

She swore she would never date a footballer, but when her brother leaves town for an emergency, she finds herself thrown into dangerously close proximity with the gorgeous, charming striker.

Training, she can deal with. But falling in love? That’s out of the question—especially when he’s the only person with the power to break her heart.

My Review:

I received this audiobook in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Yeah, another hit from one of my all-time favorites.

This book seriously sucked me in the first chapter. I absolutely adored Scarlett and Asher. I love their story, I love them individually, I love how right they felt together from the very beginning, and you knew almost immediately that these two are meant for one another. It was heartfelt, fun, cute and filled with plenty of spice!

I had the pleasure of listening to this book on audio and Stella Hunter and Shane East as usual did a phenomenal job with these two characters. They are two of my favorite narrators ever, so anything that they touch is usually a win-win for me.

Are soccer romances my new favorite thing? Because I would kill for an Asher Donovan. Let’s be real I would do anything that man asked me to do 🤷🏻‍♀️ Hubba hubba!
