Publisher's summary

This college jock is a total player. He's used to getting who and what he wants. Until her....

Katrina

The hottest guy on campus won't stop asking me out. I know that sounds like a good problem to have, but this guy...this guy has no idea how complicated my life is trying to juggle being a single mom and college student.

Every Thursday, he shows up at the café where I work. His cheesy pickup lines and arrogance should have me completely annoyed. I'm not. I can't say yes, but Thursday is my favorite day of the week.

Joel

The hottest girl on campus won't go out with me. I know, I know, that sounds presumptuous, but this girl...this girl has gotten under my skin, and I can't seem to walk away.

Every Thursday, I show up at the café where she works. She's fed me every excuse in the book. I should give up and bang one of the many girls blowing up my phone. I'm not. Even when she says no, Thursday is my favorite day of the week.

Winners Want the Ball

Overall 4.5 stars
Performance 5 stars
Story 4 stars

This series is such a fun twist on the NA sports romance. After loving The Assist, I couldn't wait to get to Joel's story next. This is book 2 in the series, but it can be enjoyed as a standalone. I definitely recommend the previous book though, because it's a great read/listen and that is where our characters are introduced.

It's no secret that my least favorite type of romance hero is the manwhore. Thankfully, Joel ended up being much more than the cocky and arrogant big man on campus. There are still some less than pleasant reminders of his colorful past, but we also get to see a much sweeter and vulnerable side to Joel Moreno as well. The witty banter and push and pull between Katrina and Joel was delicious and I loved the slow burn build up between them. Both have pasts that have left scars and it was so wonderful seeing them each break those walls down. Christian was so cute and I really loved his interactions with Joel, but I did feel that his vocabulary seemed a bit advanced for a 3 year old. The drama at the end was thankfully resolved quickly and Joel made up for it in the end.

Teddy Hamilton was wonderful as always and even though I thought he might be too sweet to pull off Joel, he of course ended up being perfect. This was my first time listening to Summer Morton, but I really enjoyed her narration as determined and guarded Katrina. Both gave playful and heartfelt performances and really brought the characters to life. I'm really looking forward to Z's story next!

Sweet Sports Romance

I absolutely adored this. This is delivering everything you want in a NA sports romance. Swoon worthy basketball star with a hankering for coffee. A tough as nails heroine who is totally self sufficient. She doesn’t need the hunk she wants him and it’s refreshing.

If getting the story wasn’t enough Teddy Hamilton is knocking it out of the park as the H. Summer Morton is also wonderful.

If you like NA and sports romance this is an easy listen. You will have a great time with well developed characters. Totally worth a credit!

If I was 21

What interested me about this story is that the lead female plays a young woman in college who has a small child. She is alone raising her son alone, works and following her dream.
Narration: The great Teddy Hamilton!!! You'll hear his soft sexy voice speaking and singing Spanish. I loved it! This book could have been good if the female narrator wasn't so horrible. My words for her, "find a new career." She ruined the story for me.

Another great in the series

Audio Re-Read

Loved revisiting Kat and Joel! Kat is one of my favorite heroines of the the series- she's a wonderful mom, and while she really makes Joel work for her trust, she also goes out of her way to support him and care for him, even when he shuts her out. Joel turned out to be surprisingly swoony despite him being a total womanizer in the prior book. HIs pivot felt a bit abrupt for me, but I loved how devoted he was to being with Kat and how awesome he was with Christian. The chemistry is cute and the spice great! The ending/romantic progression felt a bit fast to me, even more so in the audio, but again, it's such a sweet couple and tons of fun to read. Loved their HEA.

Sweet Story

Kitty, the single mom, and Joel, the college basketball player. A cute couple who have obstacles to overcome. I wasn’t surprised that they did, overcome those obstacles, to be together..always. Hey, no spoilers here, it’s a Romance novel for goodness sake. This couple is extremely likable and Teddy Hamilton is his adorable self. As a plus, you’ll like Joel’s friends. This was a quick easy read, even with it being 40 chapters.
