Bad boy / good girl, close proximity, sports romance is a combo of tropes that will entice me every single time. In this book we get Alexander Hardy, a British soccer star who acts holier than thou and is a pompous ass. Then we have Whitney who is a kind, caring, fall on your sword type of gal who will protect her academy and it's kids at all costs.

Once Alexander and Whitney meet, you just know this is going to be good because Alexander cannot stop thinking about her and Whitney can't stand him and his antics.

Now, hear me out (and yes, this may seem farfetched) but does this sound like two other main characters you know? Listen, maybe I read too much Draco/Hermione fanfiction but this book was giving stroooong Dramione vibes in the best way possible. Sub in quidditch for soccer here and elf laws and protections for the academy and kids and this is a Dramione rom com. I do want to state that this has no magic and has literally nothing to do with Harry Potter or the characters I mentioned but it was just the vibes I was getting.

I had a wonderful time listening to this audio and I ended up liking this one much more than I thought I would. This is a great sports rom com and I read it in practically one sitting.

Audio narration is wonderfully done by Gary Furlong; Samantha Brentmoor.
