This is a great little teaser for the series to come.
I love how Piper Rayne has set out this prequel to the new Chicago Grizzlies series. Each chapter is from a different point of view and I think we can
safely assume they are all the Grizzlies heroes and their heroines for this series.
There are several familiar faces from the Kingsmen Football Stars series as well as some new characters.
It was wonderful to see Miles and Bryce again after witnessing their animosity towards eachother when they were both with the
Kingsmen; it always felt like there was more to it.
I excited for the series to come.

Nothing really to rate here. It's the preview of 3 different stories. So it's just a teaser

On The Defense is a quick novella introducing all the new MCs to Piper Rayne’s Chicago Grizzlies book series. You get a quick POV of the MMCs and FMCs that will get their upcoming books in the new series by the author duo. Yes, they are teasing us readers, but what better way to excite us about what will come?
I have been waiting for Miles and Bryce’s book since the moment the author, Piper Rayne, teased me with these two characters in the Kingsmen Football Stars series. I knew these two hated each other because Bryce always wrote horrible things about Miles as a Kingsmen Football player. It was her job to report when a player wasn’t showing their full potential, but Miles hated that she only wrote the bad things and never anything good about him. Miles has a chance to prove himself on his new team, but unfortunately, he can’t seem to get away from Bryce, who ends up moving to Chicago for her new job with SportsVerse. Their book is bound to be amazing, and I loved getting a sneak peek into what comes with these two in the prequel.
I loved being introduced to new characters on the Chicago Grizzlies team with Miles. Damon Siska, whom Miles knew from college, is definitely helping him adjust to being on a different team, and Cooper Rice, the quarterback of the Chicago Grizzlies team. Damon and Cooper get POVs in On The Defense with a brief introduction to what will come in their upcoming books in the series.
I’m looking forward to both of these football players’ books due to the FMCs they have secretly been in love with for years or just met by chance. But for now, while I wait for those two, I’m anxiously waiting to read Miles and Bryce’s book. Their book has been highly anticipated, and I can’t wait to learn why they hate each other and if they will eventually go from enemies to lovers.
Piper Rayne (author duo), thanks for teasing us readers about this new fabulous football series. It’s the perfect time since it’s football season once again. =) Gets me right in the mood to watch some football.
