Publisher's summary

At a boxing gym in Chicago, Mary Monahan accidentally knocks out the most handsome man she's ever met. After she wakes him up with a few slaps and some smelling salts, the very first thing he does is ask her out for ribs and beer. His name is Jimmy. He looks like a Gillette model. And he's just too hunky to resist.

Jimmy "The Falcon" Falconi is mystified that Mary has absolutely no idea who he is. Mystified and refreshed. He is, after all, not your everyday NFL quarterback. He shops at Costco, has a soft spot for Pinterest, and is in the midst of an epic losing streak.

Jimmy falls for Mary fast and hard, the way he does everything - balls out and like it's fourth and long. And he realizes he's finally met his match. That stamina he's so proud of? Doesn't stand a chance against her Kegels.

But what they don't know is she's also his new physical therapist, recently hired by the Bears to work on his rotator cuff...and groin injury. If she can't help him, he'll be traded faster than they can say "offensive penetration". Contains mature themes.

Love this book

Oh my, oh my, oh my...Sean Crisden's narration of this story is incredible...he is such a turn on. Just listening to him can give a woman a big O. The book was the best I've listened to in a while. Down to earth and very realistic. New author for me... I like Nicola Rendell's writing style.

Hilarious!

OMG, this book had me cracking up! It's about a football star and a PT. They meet in a boxing ring, of all places, when she KO's him. Cupid has struck and they have one mishap after another to get to the in zone. Throw in an absolutely precious little girl and this book will melt your ❤. Sean Crisden and Jillian Macie do an outstanding job with the narration and make the characters come alive.

Baller vs. Butterball (you'll see lol)

Listened to this one on Audible and really enjoyed the performances given by Sean Crisden and Jillian Macie. I laughed out loud so many times. The story was interesting sprinkled with a little emotional angst and a twist. Not to mention the down and dirty delivered by a sexy, sweet, Quarterback. Very light read/listen. Perfect companion for a rainy day doing chores. Made me feel like I had friends keeping me company. The kind of friends that always put a smile on your face and make you feel like you're getting away with something whenever you hang together. If you're looking to be entertained, this should hit the spot perfectly. I believe it's my favorite Sean Crisden narration to date!! Plain simple fun!!

Not sure yet

The scene after meeting Michael with the garage irritated me. Who does that to someone's property?

Great book but a little winded

It was a great story.....rough around the edges yet soft touches everywhere! I really enjoyed listening to it. The characters were easy to like and you were rooting for them pretty much from the beginning! Only major complaint was to much rambling on details that made not a bit of difference. Eventually telling me what the decor looks like just annoys me! The book probably could have been several chapters shorter....but no less interesting if some of the early long winded thoughts and details would have been cut!!

Also, the narration was awesome!! I liked both male and female performers this time and will search those two out again!!

TWO THUMBS UP

A sweet romance without too much angst. Great narration and likable, lovable characters.
I would have liked to see the knock-out Mary I met in the first chapter do more boxing and show of strength in the rest of the book. Mary began working woth Jimmy and although a big deal was made about their not fratenizing, it was done without much stealth or any repercussions. It was an easy listen and it kept me up late even with it's predictable HEA.

Surprising sports romance.

A sort of instalove sports romance revolving around a meet-lust knockout style at a boxing gym. Yes, I said that. I actually quite enjoyed the first third to half of this book.

Jimmy is an aging NFL QB and Mary is a physical therapist. When they meet, sparks fly. The conversation is easy and the talk dirty when they get together. I liked that Mary wasn’t into sports. I also liked that Jimmy didn’t overly try to impress her.

The second half or so of the book, the steam factor went down and the drama factor went up. I didn’t mind it as much, but that first half was super hot! I sort of wish that continued.

The drama just didn’t have the momentum. The HEA was a nice bow. Maybe I just wanted more Frankie Knuckles.

Sean Crisden was awesome. I felt like he really was Jimmy. Jillian Macie was good as well. A pretty good narration.

I did this as a read and listen whispersync.
