Many are in the know about Alexa Martin’s phenom Playbook series. Our event would be incomplete if we didn’t included the latest new release in the series, Blitzed, to spotlight for our event.
My first impressions…
I was already in full anticipation after that sweet prologue, but then Brynn’s bar full of celebrities and the taste of long-hoped success, a sizzling silent attraction for the shy pro football playing Maxwell who reciprocates it seems, a phone interruption, and the destruction of top-shelf tequila when a phone and glass of whiskey are flung in blind rage past Brynn’s head. Brynn’s bar is shattered and Maxwell has some ‘splaining to do about that phone call that made him go all berserker on her bar. Annie and I have to know what comes next.
About Blitzed
One of Buzzfeed’s 16 Romantic Books To Read This Fall
One of Popsugar’s Best Books for Winter
“Definitely a must-read!”—La La Anthony, New York Times bestselling author
Maxwell Lewis has to make the play of his life in order to breach the woman of his dream’s defenses in this new football romance from the author of Fumbled.
Brynn Larson owes a lot to reality television and
professional athletes. Her bar hit new heights of success after becoming a local haunt for the Denver Mustangs players and their WAGs. But although she’s grateful, that doesn’t mean she’s crazy. And that’s exactly what she would be to ever consider dating a professional athlete. Even if it’s Maxwell Lewis, whose shy smile makes her wonder what going on behind those beautiful brown eyes.
Maxwell knew from the moment he met Brynn that she was going to change his life. It was only a matter of time. But when he finally makes a move, fate conspires against him and everything goes wrong. Now he has to show her that their potential is real. Too bad for him, Brynn isn’t fooled by his glamorous NFL life, and when ghosts from both their pasts make a sudden reappearance, she must decide who she can trust. But when the person she’s most afraid of is herself, navigating life’s tackles is harder than anticipated.

I have heard great things about this series by Alex Martin but haven’t had the chance to read any of them yet. I do love a good sports romance but there seems to be a lot more books that feature hockey than football.
I got the first book and didn’t know what to expect, but it was a blast of humor, gal power, and sizzling romance. Author was an NFL wife so she writes from experience. Each one shows a new aspect of pro football life through the eyes of the women which is great.
I read the first book and loved how the heroine grew so much even being involved with hot shot NFL players. I need to catch up as I haven’t had a chance to read the second or third book.
I loved the first 2 books in this series and am so excited to read this one! I appreciate the humor in the books and how real the characters feel.
Yes! The humor is the best part, Ruth! 🙂
