Audiobook Review | The Defender – sara reads romance

He has to play by the rules…but for her, he’d break them all.

As the captain of Blackcastle Football Club and one of the highest-paid athletes in the game, Vincent DuBois should be on top of the world.

But when his fame brings danger to his doorstep, he finds himself in his worst nightmare scenario—secretly sharing a flat with his coach’s daughter, knowing full well she’s far too big a temptation for him to resist.

When his new living arrangements escalate into a bet that throws them even closer together, he realizes he’s in deeper trouble than he thought.

He’s always played to win—but for her, he might just risk it all.

***

As a sports nutritionist and the daughter of a legendary coach, Brooklyn Armstrong is used to dealing with hotshot athletes.

However, no player gets under her skin like Vincent, her best friend’s infuriatingly cocky (and gorgeous) brother. She left California hoping for a fresh start, and he’s the kind of distraction she doesn’t need.

Now, he’s sleeping in the room next to hers while her career is up in the air and her defenses are crumbling.

But no matter how many sparks fly between them, a relationship between the captain and the coach’s daughter could never work…could it?

THE DEFENDER is a steamy soccer (aka European football) sports romance featuring forced proximity. It’s book two of the Gods of the Game series but can be read as a standalone.

my review:

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

I love.. I love, I love, I love it. Ana Hunag always knows how to suck me right into a story and reading this felt so good! From the very beginning I was so drawn into both Brooklyn and Vincent. They didn’t feel like any other couple that Ana has ever written and it was so refreshing. Honestly? This is probably one of my most favorite books by this author. Anytime I thought I had a little idea on where the story was going to go I was taken in another direction that I didn’t see coming. This book kept me on my toes the entire time. I loved watching the relationship between Brooklyn and Vincent grow so naturally from beginning to end. It was such a joy to watch them really fall in love with one another. Also, can I just tell you how much I loved Brooklyn? She has such a great attitude, learned to overcome a few obstacles, and the confidence she gained from it was inspiring.

James Cavenaugh and Samantha Brentmoor did such a fantastic job bringing these two characters to life. Their voices were spot on for both of these characters. There’s really no other narration style I adore more than duet narration. I really think it brings the story together so much better and engages the reader on a different level.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book and didn’t want to put it down for a second. I highly recommend it not only if you love Ana’s work, but if you’re looking for a really good contemporary romance, that will suck you in from the very beginning and will keep a hold on you even after it’s over. I seriously can’t stop thinking about this book!
