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.

This prequel leads into the new Chicago Grizzlies series by @authorpiperrayne

It was such a fun introduction into Miles and his two new roommates Damon and Cooper. This one definitely teases them all, since we get POVs from everyone.

Especially book 1, Miles and Bryce’s story-which has been on our minds since we met them both during the Kingsmen series. I just know I am going to love those two so much!

Meeting Cooper’s best friend Elle, was great-there is more to that story too! Damon is so much fun, I think he may be more than his reputation.

I love novellas like this and I’m looking forward to diving deeper into all these character and their stories, they all have my interest very peaked!

I am so ready for another football romance!
