About this listen

As if things aren’t already tough enough as the only girl on a college football team, Coach had to go and assign Zeke Collins as my roommate.

A cocky kick returner and my brother’s best friend who should have been ripped of that title years ago, he’s as infuriating as he is undeniably sexy.

I hate him, and for good reason—reason I won’t ever let him forget.

He thinks because we grew up together that it’s his role to protect me, but all he does is get in my way, make me look weak, and piss me off more.

I tell him I can handle myself, and I’m hell-bent on getting that point across to him and the rest of the nation watching the only girl in collegiate football.

The pressure doesn’t get to me. The scrutiny? I’m ready for.

But sharing very thin walls with Zeke Collins? I wasn’t prepared for that.

And the more we’re forced together, the harder it is to distinguish that pencil-thin line between hating him...and wanting him.

What an amazing listen!

There is so much goodness to this book! I absolutely fell in love with it! Kandi Steiner is an author that when I start a book, I know I am in for a treat. This new adult, sports, enemies to lover's romance touched my heart from the first chapter. Zeke and Riley have grown up together. Riley's twin brother and Zeke are best friends, but she has her reasons for hating him. Now in college, with Riley and Zeke on the football team, things are about to come to a head. What will become of these two? Now Steiner is a master of taking my heart, breaking it and putting it back together, and there are several instances in this book that she had my eyes welling up with tears and my heart full of love. Riley is a tough cookie. Being a girl on a football team, she deals with a lot. Zeke has taken it upon himself to be her protector, but I am not sure this feisty girl needs his help. Zeke has been through so much, carries so much on his shoulders and his love and loyalty is so pure, it's impossible not to fall for him. But I can definitely feel Riley's hesitancy and understand her thoughts. I love having her brother pop in once in a while and would love to get his story! This one is fabulous, and I highly recommend it.

Narrated by Hannah Chiclana and Chris Williams, we have the perfect blend of new adult voices. Chiclana becomes Riley, taking us through her life with all the feelings. She is spot on with each nuance and creates a wonderful character. Williams shines as Zeke. This is a protective alpha male, with so much emotion and he pulls out all the stops to make Zeke realistic. I loved his collaboration and hope to hear more from this team.

What an amazing story!

Kandi never fails to write stories that bring all the feels! The buildup between Zeke and Riley was palpable and brought out every feeling along the way. That whole thin line between love and hate made the chemistry between these two burn through your headphones. Kandi writing a young woman being part of a man's football team made the story just shine! I loved, loved, loved the concept of this book. I lived for every scene and could not get enough of listening to what everyone had to go through and the adrenaline that comes with playing each football game. Zeke was a powerhouse and had me just swooning over his possessiveness of Riley. Their history may have torn them apart, but it's what glued them together as well and it was so real and raw. Kandi never shies away from making your heart hurt with real life issues and it makes her books that much better! The narrators, Hannah Chiclana and Chris Williams stole the show! Their narrations were perfect and I loved every minute of listening to this audiobook!

Just what I needed!

Fair Catch is a well-written and perfectly narrated romance. I love how Riley and Zig are human; flawed. I love how they interact, make me laugh and get all hot from the spicy scenes.
Kandi Steiner did it again. Great romance. Perfect summer-read☀️

A great start to an incredible series

This story is very much about acceptance, accepting the past and that you cant change it, accepting what you want to do and who you want to be with.

Although I enjoy Zeke and Riley in this book and the journey they go on, I LOVE them in later books - how strong their relationship is, how much they've grown individually and together

- brothers best friend
- forced proximity (roommates and teammates)
- hidden relationship
- college football

loved it

I loved this book so much!

Riley hated Zeke growing up and for very good reasons, however as their passion for football grew, their feelings for each other grew also!

This book is filled with passion, love, lust and angst! It was a real page turner!
I loved Zeke so much!

Gorgeous and poignant- all the feels

I actually read the ebook first but had to listen to this audiobook too because I loved the story so much.

First the story: This is a new adult enemies to lovers romance that was absolutely wonderful. Riley and Zeke were great- I absolutely loved the idea that Riley was a female football star (kicker) who hated Zeke because of she blamed him for her brother’s paralysis. The premise was realistic, beautifully characterized and age appropriate. It drew me into the story. As a reader who tends to now shy away from new adult romances (the characters are in their freshman year of college which feels really far away from my real life!), I have to say that the characters are so nuanced and the situations feel so appropriate and well fleshed out that I truly enjoyed this story. I look forward to the stories for the other characters in this world! Another win for Kandi Steiner!

Now, for the narration- it was good. I loved Hannah Chiclana and Chris Williams' voices because they really fit the roles. They sounded young and perfectly cast. Chris Williams was a little staccato and a little rigid, in my opinion but overall, their voices and reading drew me into the story,

Emotional!

I like Kandi Steiner's writing. This is a sweet and emotional enemies-to-lovers, brother’s best friend, and sports romance. Zeke and Riley's story is beautifully written. Riley, the only girl in the college football team, is an amazing character, strong, independent, and determined. Zeke, also a team member, is handsome, tormented, and a great man, supportive, and caring. They are so perfect together. Their story is filled with drama. I loved Gavin (Riley's twin brother and Zeke's best friend) and I would love to have his story. This is an excellent New Adult Romance. Hannah Chiclana and Chris Williams did a good job with the narration.

4. 75 stars

Very unique

4.75 ⭐ This was fantastic. It was kind of a twist on the classic brothers best friend trope and I just know how much the author loves the sport of football because they don't gloss over it and I love that. Despite how much Riley dislikes Zeke (with good reason, honestly) their chemistry burns up the pages and the fact that they are college football teammates...love that! Are the characters in this perfect? Far from it, but they own up to their mistakes and that's human. This book blew me away and I couldn't put it down, honestly. I volunteered to listen and review a complimentary copy of this. All opinions are my own.

Captures Your Heart & Mind! Great Story & Listen🎧

I enjoyed this book immensely, it is an amazing story, a combination of several tropes, enemies to lovers, brothers best friend, sports romance, and Kandi Steiner mastered them all. The story grabbed my attention right from the start and captivated it straight to the end. The characters are realistic, easy to relate to and connect with, they are easy to care about too. I adored the two lead characters, Riley Novo and Zeke Collins, Riley’s twin brother Gavin and Zeke are best of friends. But to put it mildly, Riley is not a fan of Zeke and does not think her brother should be still be friends with him. Riley is doing something her brother couldn’t do, she is playing college football and made on the division one team. The same college and team as Zeke and, to add insult to injury, they will be roommates. It is difficult for her to forget or forgive him for what he did, but the anger and hatred for him wanes, and she sees him in a different light and they realize they can help each other. A friend with benefits relationship develops and morphs in to more, they have a good grip on juggling their schedule, practice, playing, studying and classes, with some steamy trysts in between. All is going well, but then a bomb gets dropped on them and Riley feels betrayed again. My heart broke for these two, but I never gave up on them, rooted for them both on and off the field. This story is beautifully written and plotted with plenty of drama, heartfelt emotions, some angst and romance to be remembered. Kandi Steiner, thank you for this wonderful story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 And for the wonderful narration, Kandi Steiner cast the perfect narrators to bring her characters and story to life. Hannah Chiclana and Chris Williams are talented narrators and versatile voice artists. They had a complete understanding of the characters they portrayed, gave each a voice that suited that character’s persona and was believable in every role they played. Chiclana’s Riley was spot on, she grasped all her strengths and played her as the perfect badass that she was. Williams did the same for Zeke, grasped all sides of his personality. You could hear how much heart and feelings they put into their work as they captured the character’s emotions and projected them into their performance and have you feeling every single one. These entertaining storytellers are a pleasure to listen to and their narration enhances an already fantastic story to another level. Thank you for this great listen!
