I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
This was a first time read for me from this author.

I read the description and thought this would be interesting to read. How would you feel when you see your first love and you're the one responsible for ruining his football career? The article that launched your career into Sports journalism, you now have to see him every single day. Would you still have those feeling for him? Do you think he has forgiven you because he is getting a 2nd chance to play the game he loves? Questions Natalie Griffith keeps asking herself.

Quinn Lowry makes it pretty clear at the first practice/press conference. He avoids her and if he looks at her he has hate in his eyes. The problem, one of his team mates is letting him stay at his place, while Natalie is shadowing his team mate for 2 weeks straight. Not coming over and interviewing him for her article, actually with him 12-18 hours a day. Quinn and Natalie have some words at first. Quinn makes sure to tell Natalie that he has no intention of interacting with her. Quinn is a recovering alcoholic and he is trying to stay sober. You really see how some days it is a struggle to keep his mind focus on football and not on Natalie or alcohol. When he is craving alcohol, he is also craving the physical attraction that is between Natalie and him.

The sparks are still there between them. They finally come to a truce where they can be around each other.
While she is doing her job.

I love books that give me a lot of detail and background on their characters. This book started out slow for me, but once I got into this book I could not put it down. I can't wait to read another book by her.

I was *really* looking forward to this book, as I liked the preceding two in this series a whole lot. Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed by it, principally by the pacing. I don't mind having a second-chance couple's backstory come out in tiny little bits, having to figure it out as you read. But this book seemed to take a really long time before that information came to light in the text and it left me feeling confused a lot early on.

It also suffers from what I call, "Didn't we deal with that?" syndrome, where the characters have a heart-to-heart and clear the air, but one or both of them is back to square one as if the conversation never occurred a few pages on. I get that things don't just get fixed with a single conversation and that when people do hurtful things to the ones they love, they're going to continue to feel guilt even after absolution. But this was more than that.

In the back half of the book (after our couple finally gets together) the book coheres considerably, becoming the fun, zippy read I expected from my prior experience. The secondary cast continues to be great fun to revisit and see what they've been up to.

I received an Advance Reader's Copy in exchange for an honest review.

I really like football so that helped, and I did like the story but I wasn't floored or anything. It was a pretty typical love story. Boy and girl fall in love in college, break up for whatever reason, run into each other later and fall madly in love again, but of course fight it and deny it until finally they relent. It was predictable, and honestly nothing special. It could have been so much more.

Omg Liz Lincoln!!!! This is book 3 of one of my favorite series. We meet Natalie and Quinn. You can't help but fall in love with Quinn all his emotions and the battle within himself. I needed more and then to see the football players from the other books come in it’s the best thing. I loved this book as much as I loved the other 2.
Keep doing it.

Natalie hasn’t seen Quinn since she left in the middle of the night while they were dating in college. Not only did she leave him with no explanation in college, she also wrote a story on him that landed her the job she had been dreaming of, and also landed her on Quinn’s bad side. Now he’s being thrust back into her life, when he is trying to make it back into the NFL. They are forced to spend more time together than either wants or bargained for. After spending a lot of time together, thanks to both of their jobs, they decide that they need one more night. One final night to give each other the closure they never had. Neither expected the one night they spent together to turn into more, nor did they expect it to dig up old feelings. As the two try to navigate their way through their careers as well as their budding relationship they have to figure out if they can leave the past in the past, or will the past come back to haunt them?

I have read more sports romance books than I can count, and this book did not disappoint. I love that the heroine was more than just a journalist out for the next best thing. She had other interests, and she didn’t want to write gossipy news. This heroine was one you could admire and one that I absolutely adored. I also absolutely loved Quinn; how can you not root for the comeback kid? This story was more than just a love story, it showed growth for both characters, and I was rooting for both of them to get what they wanted. The chemistry was off the charts, but the banter (once the two got comfortable with each other again) was amazing. This book was a definite 5 star read, and I do hope that we get more books in the Milwaukee Dragons Series!

This story concentrates almost entirely on the sex drives of Natalie, a sports reporter and Quinn, an NFL star making a comeback. The plot is thin and if one skips the sexual innuendos the story can be read in fifteen minutes.

As always, an enjoyable read from Liz Lincoln. I look forward to more books from this author / series.

I received an ARC of this book through #Netgalley in exchange for and honest review.

Hmmmmm, well I am usually one to try to write a pretty good review, giving pros and cons for myself and my preferences only, I am so excited to be a part or Netgalleys program and I make a point to choose authors that I haven’t read at least 90% of the time.

This book just wasn’t too exciting for me. Maybe the predictability of it? I’m not sure what exactly didn’t do it for me, but it is still a worthy read. Lots of “pros” such as good writing style, good supporting characters, strong main characters. There is baggage, sure but but we all have baggage, LOL! The characters were the type that were facing struggles, but still trying to improve their lives and enjoy the people in it.

It wasn’t a 5 star read for me, but not many are truthfully. This is an author that I would definitely read again to see if it was just this book or it’s content that wasn’t super exciting for me, but if you like football and strong characters, you shouldn’t hesitate to try this one out!

Quinn has spent two years off the field recovering from addiction and is ready to win a Super Bowl title with his new team. There's only one problem. He's going to have to face reporter Natalie in the locker room. She's his former girlfriend and the love of his life, and she also wrote the article that put all of his laundry on display... the good, the bad and the ugly. Can he maintain his sobriety? Can they find peace? Can they find their way back to a love lost?

I love this series and this title didn't disappoint! I received an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This is a second chance football romance. I love that there was angst and it was slow burn yet steamy. I have to admit I like On the Line (book 1) in the series better. I am curious if Matt the quarterback will get his own book. if so I would so read it.

Quinn Lowry has spent the last two years getting his life back on track, and regaining his focus on whats important to him... his football career. He once had everything he could want out of life, but his addictions got in the way and not only cost him his career, but also the woman who once owned his heart. Now after lots of hard work and dedication he is back on the turf and ready to get back to playing. But that also means facing the one woman wrecking crew who derailed his perfect life two years ago, his ex, beat reporter Natalie Griffith.

Home Field Advantage pulled me in almost instantly and had me flying through pages to see if if these two would be able to find common ground after such a heartbreaking separation. It was a well crafted story brimming with hope, healing, passion, and heart squeezing emotion that had the tears welling a couple of times. These two had a lot of healing and making amends to do, but underneath all that hurt there was also a deep seated attraction that neither could deny. One that kept drawing them in, and forcing them to face the fact that they belonged together. This was such a wonderful addition to the series, the words were addictive, and the characters were hard not to love! Highly recommend!

I requested an advanced copy of this title from NetGalley, and I am voluntarily leaving my honest opinion.

I am rating this book as just ok. I enjoy sports romances and I liked other books by this author. I just felt this one was way too drawn out. It started to get exciting during the last part of the book. I felt Natalie was a bit flaky at times. And the back and forth between her and Quinn, both constantly in their heads for the most of the book, made for boring reading. I voluntarily read this book via NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion.

A sexy romp through a fictitious NFL team. Quinn and Natalie were college sweethearts until Quinn's alcoholic ways became too much for football and Natalie. Now he's making a comeback and Natalie is the writer assigned to the team. Sizzles and delivers on story line.

Copy provided by the Publisher and NetGalley

Quinn was riding high on life and ended up in rehab for his alcohol and pill abuse. He had to fight hard to get back to his NFL body and prove that he was back. Natalie was his college sweetheart who up and left him before he became an NFL star. Being thrown together Quinn and Natalie have to fight their attraction that has never died on his new team. Things I liked were they shared a love of cars together and would work on them.

I enjoyed seeing past couples and can't wait for more in this series.

I'm not much of a football fan (American football to clarify), hockey is more my jam, but I've definitely found the type of sexy adult romances that I am into -- Sports Romances! Home Field Advantage by Liz Lincoln is actually a third in a series, but you so totally can read these out of order. The couples in the other two books are mentioned and are side-characters in this story, but really this story is about a second chance romance between old lovers. I was totally here for it.

Right out of college I pursued Sports Journalism, but there were a lot of factors why it just wasn't the right career for me. (Long hours, still living with over protective and overbearing parents, not really caring about sports other than ice hockey), so reading about Natalie being so focused on her career was fun to read about. It was really annoying that she had to deal with a boss that wanted the gossipy stuff and not things with more substance. I worked for men when I was in the field, so I never remember really seeing stuff like this in our reporting or blog posts. So I do take a little pause at this conflict in the story, but that was only my experience, so perhaps other female sports reports have dealt with this issue. I think it really depends on the publication.

It did slightly bother me that Quinn seemed to blame everything wrong in his career on Natalie. I was really glad that we see he is in therapy about his substance abuse and is really trying hard to stay the course. So I am glad there is a scene with his therapist where she gets him to come to the conclusion that was really unfair of him. Quinn was a really brave character, and it was cool to see such a positive take on mental health and wanting to overcome addiction.

I really loved the two of these getting back together and just laughed when they agreed that it was just physical. HAHAH, okay, you two will see. The romance scenes are pretty detailed, so if that's not your thing you might want to butt out on this book. That used to not be my thing, but I've kind of gotten over that. Sometimes I want to read a sweet romance that is tame, sometimes I want to read stuff with a lot of sex scenes, and that's totally okay.

I definitely think I am going to check out the other books in this series. If you like Sport Romances, I would definitely recommend this one.

I received an arc of this title for an honest review. I read about half of this book but it did not keep my attention. I feel like maybe I have read books far too similar to this one and that's why it was such a struggle. Will still order a copy for the collection.

Quinn and Natalie have to forgive each other!

Milwaukee Dragons football player Quinn Lowry is still angry with his ex-girlfriend sports writer Natalie Griffith for writing the article that got him suspended from playing football for two years for drug and alcohol abuse and he hadn’t forgiven her for it. Quinn had went to rehab and worked his way back to trying to make the team at training camp with Natalie covering the team for sports news site. Natalie had gotten the job with the company on the strength of her article about Quinn that she wrote from public knowledge and talking to other players. Natalie was being forced by her boss to write an expose on Quinn’s return that she didn’t want to do because he didn’t need the stress trying to keep his sobriety and stay away from temptations. Natalie had a very good reason why she wanted Quinn to stop but he thought he was stronger but until they finally talked to each other they never knew the cause.

A lot of problems can be solved by talking to each other but Natalie and Quinn had to finally accept each other had reasons and forgive each other for not talking.

Home Field Advantage by Liz Lincoln shows that love alone doesn’t solve problems until you find the root cause of the issue. I liked Home Field Advantage and many other sports romance readers will too.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Liz Lincoln can do no wrong and is a PURE GENIUS for thinking up the Milwaukee Dragons. Once again, another 10 star winner in this series. I adored the chemistry between the hero and heroine and am a sucker for a reunited lovers story. This book was not without its fair share of drama and nail=biting situations. I loved them all and am hopeful that there are many more books in the Milwaukee Dragons series! Liz really knows how to set a scene, make you fall in love with her characters, and leave you wanting MORE!

I've read Liz Lincoln's books before and enjoy her sports romances. This story was second chance between Quinn and Natalie. They dated in college and now he is in the NFL and she's a reporter. It's nothing new in sports romance but Liz Lincoln does it well. Our reporter still has feelings for Quinn but his drinking in college and into his career really kept them apart. He had to leave football for rehabilitation and recovery was underway when he meets up with Quinn again. They still were hot for each other. They both had to grow and communicate better what had failed.

Good reading.

The introduction of any series can make it or break it and this unfortunately didn't grip me enough in the beginning to leave me hanging on. The writing style wasn't the best, the characters seem juvenile and there wasn't anything particularly interesting about the read from the get-go.
