Hannah Strong has recently inherited her father’s most prized possession, his NFL team in Boston. She has no clue about anything doing with football because she distanced herself from the sport that always came first for her father even before her so now how does she operate this thing? As an avid sports fan, yes even football, this book had it all for me. I love all sports romance but what set this one apart from the many I have read was this emerge the readers into the sport. It teaches those who are clueless about what is going on and to those who are rabid fans (aka me) we enjoy being engulfed in what we love. Decker the panty wrecker or use to be panty wrecker is a new changed more mature QB, his main focus is football and the guy that taught him so much other than his own parents just passed away. Decker and the whole team are not sure what to expect from Hannah so they don’t take it easy on her but they expect her to become a team member. I felt bad for Hannah because not only was her father not really a part of her life but now she is thrust in this world where nothing makes sense even though she tries to learn it seems anything she does or says never goes the way it should. At times I wanted her to get angry at the team maybe sound off on them because even when she was trying they still gave her a hard time making her feel inadequate and not part of the team that they preached she needed to be. When her and Decker start to feel the attraction to each other they know they shouldn’t but they can’t stop it and their banter was spot on. They loved to give each other a hard time and they both thrived off of it. I don’t want to give too much away because this book is such an enjoyment not just for sports fans but romance lovers and everyone in between. When you mix a beautiful, clueless at sports, but genius with numbers owner and an ex playboy schmexy MVP QB you get a beautiful hot mess perfection.

~*~ Audio Review ~*~
I loved every moment of Decker and Hannah’s book. Kayley and Connor writing really flowed together and they gave us a fun and sexy story that I didn’t want to put down. Hannah finds herself in new territory when she inherits her fathers football team after the fathers sudden death. Johnny Decker is the star quarterback of the team and gives Hannah crap every time he can. I found myself laughing out loud several times. Despite their constant fighting these two have great chemistry and I love that the way he helped her navigating her new world in football.
The audiobook made it so much more fun and it was performed in duet. Mackenzie Cartwright and Connor were perfect at bringing Hannah and Decker to life and I loved the back and forth they had in the text messages. Ava Lucas and Ron Butler were wonderful additions as Hannah and Decker’s best friends and additional characters.
This was a great sports romance and I am looking forward to more of Kayley and Connor’s writing.

Great sports romance
If you enjoy a good sports romance with a growly alpha hero and an awkward, but awesome heroine, this is the book for you.

I loved Decker and Hannah! Kayley Loring is one of my favorites and I loved this co-write with Connor Crais. It was so funny and engaging and I was hooked from the beginning. I can’t wait for the rest of this series.

**4.5 stars**
Kayley Loring is my go-to for laugh-out loud, swoony romances, and I was so excited to see what my favorite sweet and funny author would do in a duo with Connor Crais. And, all in all, I really enjoyed their first outing together. Decker is heartfelt and sexy, a fun start to this series and this duo’s collaboration.
Our hero is the titular Decker, a seasoned professional footballer looking at the back end of his lustrous career playing quarterback. But his placid football bubble is rocked when the beloved team owner passed away unexpectedly, leaving ownership of the team to his somewhat estranged daughter, Hannah. Decker and Hannah have an immediate spark and quite a adorable meet cute, and all the flirty occurs, especially as Hannah struggles to manage a football organization when she knows very little about football.
This writing duo melds together so well- each character has a distinct and compelling voice, but the writing style is consistent and engaging across POVs. Both characters are really likable and compelling, and the chemistry sparkles. Crias’ influence is clear- there’s a crisp and magnetic male influence not just to the tone but to the content- this definitely is a sports story. This story is quite as raucous and laugh out loud funny as I’m used to with Kayley (and truth be told, I did miss that), but it’s got a whole lot of sweet charm, and we do have the usual lower-drama Kayley Loring story tone. And I appreciated this pairing finding their own collective voice and giving this series its own approach- not quite as novel as I’m used to from Kayley, but lovable and enjoyable nonetheless. I’m curious to see how this duo’s vibe evolves over time, and I’d be interested in reading some of the secondary characters' stories.
Overall, a strong outing for this first-time writing pair, and I’m excited for what is to come. Together they create a light, heartfelt, sincere, and playfully cute romance that has plenty of sizzle, and a couple I was invested in finding their HEA. Feel-good and fun and a solid start to what will most certainly be a one-click partnership between these two authors.

oooooh…..this was a good one
I’m glad I ended up waiting to read this because I ended reading during the Super Bowl, lol. I’ve read more about football than I’ve actually watched it. But Decker and Hannah. Oh goodness, there were so many laugh out loud moments. But I loved watching both Hannah and Decker growing themselves and together as a couple.
