Release Blitz & Review: Fair Catch

 

      

Title: Fair Catch 

Author: Heidi McLaughlin 

Genre: Sports Romance/Contemporary Romance 

Release Date: March 28, 2023 

Hosted by: Buoni Amici Press, LLC.

From the New York Times bestselling author of Forever My Girl: The Motion Picture, Heidi McLaughlin delivers a contemporary football romance that will leave you ready to hike the ball.

Kelsey Sloane’s love of books leads to her dream job as an acquisitions editor for an up and coming publisher. What their company needs to really make a name for themselves is a hit release, and Kelsey thinks she may have found it. That is, if the football aspects of the sports-themed love story make sense. Completely clueless on the subject, she calls the local NFL team—the Portland Pioneers—to teach her the basics. 

Portland Pioneers center, Alex Moore, gets the short end of the stick when he’s tasked with teaching new to town, Kelsey Sloane, all about football. Fresh off a break-up with his long-term girlfriend, the offensive lines blur for Alex when he finds himself attracted to Kelsey. 

 Oblivious to who Alex is, Kelsey isn’t enamored by his fame or begging for tickets on the fifty-yard line. Her only interest is learning about the sport he loves. 

Her impromptu internship over, it’s time for Kelsey to return to wading through stacks of manuscripts. But Alex isn’t ready to say goodbye. Can he find a way to keep the football novice in his life? Or will their differing careers be the flag on the play that keeps them apart?

This is the second book of the series but could be read as a stand alone.  However, fans of the author's Beaumont series will probably get the most satisfaction from the story.  Lots of familiar faces round out the secondary characters. 

Kelsey is a book nerd but takes her editor duties seriously. Before considering a book for publishing, she decides she needs to learn more about football.  She gets a connection to the local NFL team in Portland and the rest, as they say, is history. 

Alex gets the short straw to show the book editor around but he is not sorry about that. It takes some time and patience to get his heart and hers wrapped around the idea of being together.  There is some ex drama but over all, a sweet romantic read. 

As I said, lots of familiar Beaumont faces in this one.  Loved how they support Alex and only want the best for him.  I loved that Kelsey wanted to know him as a person--not a football player. 

Great story!
