Bandit for the win! Their Greatest Strength by Hannah Cowan was a sweet and swoony marriage of convenience football romance that hit me all in the feels! I couldn’t get enough of Blakely and Jamie’s slow burn chemistry that squeezed my heart in all the best ways. I’m a sucker for “my wife” moments and this one definitely delivered.

Amy Hall and Alex Kydd perform this audiobook in dual narration. These two had me hanging on every word because they both embodied all things Blakely and Jamie! Amy’s sultry voice captured every bit of Blakely’s passionate and devoted essence. She also added a vulnerability to her voice for softer, intimate moments. Alex’s warm, inviting tone emitted charm and confidence as Jamie, making this man one swoony dream. Both narrators created the perfect amount of pining, longing, and spicy slow burn chemistry that made me melt.

Overall, I loved this book. If you are a fan of a sports romance with a hot hunky wide receiver, a hardworking heroine determined to make ends meet, a football loving younger brother, a marriage of convenience pr stunt, CFL games, found family, he falls first, witty banter, steamy tension, slow burn spice, a supportive family, coming clean, love declarations, and a HEA that will leave you feeling obsessed, then you will love Blakely and Jamie’s story. I always look forward to more from Hannah Cowan.

I just finished the last book in the Greatest Love Series, and what a way to end things! This audiobook? Absolutely fantastic.

Let's talk about Jamison and Blakely, because they were EVERYTHING. This book nails the "he falls first and falls hard" trope that I love. Jamison was just so swoony. He was so patient and understanding. Blakely was a tough nut to crack, all guarded and rightfully protective of herself and her brother. Watching Jamison chip away at those walls, slowly and sweetly was pure magic.

Alex Kydd and Amy Hall, you guys are rockstars! They brought Jamison and Blakely to life in such a real way. You could feel every emotion, every little spark of chemistry. Honestly, their voices just made the whole story even better.

Basically, if you're a fan of sweet romances, especially ones with a patient hero and a guarded heroine, you NEED to listen to this audiobook. Seriously, highly recommend. You won't regret it!

Thank you to NetGalley and Tantor Audio for an ALC of this audiobook. I voluntarily read it and gave an honest review.

OMG! literally the cutest book ever! I loved Jameson so much he is such a little golden retriever. Blakely was stubborn and hotheaded in the best way possible. She stood up for herself and her family with all that she had. She was also sassy and her and Jamie had great banter! My favorite character though was Nate. He was a ball of sunshine so sweet and cute. Will be recommending this forever!

Man oh man, Jamie was down bad for this girl and I am here for it. He was so patient and kind and just an overall simp for Blakely. This book was perfect the whole way through!

I will admit, it’s a bittersweet ending to the Greatest Love series. I could stay in this world forever!

This book was delightful from beginning to end. Amy and Alex did an amazing job bringing Blakely and Jamie to life in my ears.

I will admit, it’s a bittersweet ending to the Greatest Love series. I could stay in this world forever.

This was a duet narration. Both narrators had a nice voice to listen to. I could easily imagine them as the main characters. This was a solid audiobook that I would recommend to any romance lover. This follows Blakely and Jameison. Blakely is a the caretaker of her younger brother and is trying to give him the best life possible. Jameison is a star football player that is willing to do anything for his team. What happens when Jameison is told he should marry a fan to bring more attention to the team? This is the perfect book for people who love sports romance and marriage of convenience.

Thank you to NetGalley and Tantor Audio for the opportunity to listen to this audiobook!

If you love instalove and marriage of convenience, this one is for you! The story delivers on swoon-worthy moments and a fast-paced romance that will capture fans of these tropes.

While instalove isn’t my personal favorite, I appreciated the unique spin on how the characters met. However, I did find certain aspects of the setup a bit hard to connect with—like our heroine entering a stranger’s home, assuming it had been robbed, and then contemplating taking something herself. It was a bold choice for her character, though it felt a little far-fetched for me.

That said, her devotion to her younger brother was incredibly sweet, and her desire to give him everything he deserved was heartwarming. However, some of her financial decisions—like prioritizing new cleats over rent—were tough for me to overlook.

Overall, this book offers a whirlwind romance with heartfelt moments, perfect for readers who enjoy an ultra-fast connection between characters. While it wasn’t quite for me, fans of low-angst, sweet romance with a touch of unconventional charm may find a lot to love here!

🎧 AUDIOBOOK REVIEW 🎧

Thank you NetGalley and Tantor Audio!

4.5 SOLID STARS ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️

First of all. I loved the series! The audio was great I really enjoyed the narrators. They did a great job and I’m such a sucker for duet narration and this one was sooo good.

What a perfect way to end this series!! Jamison and Blakey were the best!!! I laughed, smiled and maybe a tear or two. I think Jamison could be in contention to steal number one book boyfriend spot.

✨ Jamieson Bateman... Jamieson Bateman... Jamieson Bateman... ✨ How many times do I have to click my ruby red heels to get this absolute dreamboat to appear in my life? Because I NEED a Jamieson Bateman, like yesterday! 😍💋

I can't even begin to tell you how hot, honest, and downright cheeky he is without giving it all away! But trust me, babes, you've got to get to your local bookstore on April 3rd and meet him for yourself — he's THE next-level book boyfriend!! 🔥📚

Blakely (aka Bandit) is the ultimate strong, independent woman who’d do ANYTHING for her loved ones, especially her bro Nate. Her selflessness will have you swooning! 💕 The way she supports him and faces struggles head-on, even letting Jamieson in to help, will steal your heart. And their relationship? WOW – it's everything you want in a love story. 🥰

Don’t even get me started on the connection between Jamieson and Nate! Their bond is so heartwarming — Jamieson truly becomes the older brother figure Nate needs, and Blakely can finally breathe easy knowing he’s there. 🤗 And I cannot wait to see where Nate's story goes… I’m already counting down the days!! ⏳

Hannah Cowan wrapped up the Greatest Love series with a BANG, and I’m telling EVERYONE to read it. 🔥 Plus, Their Greatest Strength was my first ever CFL/NFL read, and now I’m hooked. These men? Oh, they’re right up there with hockey players... and their dirty mouths! 😉💥

I cannot say enough good things about this book! It was the perfect ending to the greatest love series! I loved Jamieson and Blakely so much! Thank you for this ALC!

Dual Narration - Alex Kydd & Amy Hall
fantastic narration I love these two

This story follows Blakely and Jamison. Blakely is struggling to make ends meet and care for her younger brother Nate. Jamison has been asked to help the public engagement of his team by finding a wife to marry but not just anyone it is to be a fan of the team.

An unusual meet cute/ meeting of chance sparks Jamison’s interest in Blakely. When he first try’s to get her to agree to the arrangement she thinks it’s crazy but something’s change and her mind is quickly considering his offer.

Throughout this story you get back story and see why Blakely is so dead set on being independent and doing things on her own. Jamie just wants to support her and get her to fall for him.

Heartwarming story about found family and love. I absolutely loved how Jamie’s family took in Blakley and Nate despite questioning the reasons for the marriage.
