My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Are you sad that sports events this year haven’t been the norm? Are you a romance reader? Do you like the bad boy type romances, the second chance romances, the enemies to lovers romances? All three? Well then do I have a series for you! Playing Series 3 Book Set: Sports Romance by Stephanie Queen hits all 3 of those types of romance books.

Playing for the Money: a Bad Boy Sports Romance

Hunter Quintanna is a bad boy. But not in the way you are thinking. He has the worst reputation in the football league. Circumstances have him switching to a new team across the country where he meets Cat Marini, his new coach’s daughter, and official “handler”. Trying to stay under the radar and get through the season, the last thing Hunter needs is to find his new handler attractive. Cat can’t resist the pull between her and Hunter. But will they both be willing to risk it all for a chance at love?

Playing for Love: a Second Chance Sports Romance

Gabriel Wyatt is the Quarterback for the Boston Militia and football is his life, much to the dismay of his long-distance girlfriend who’s not a fan. Mia Lane is his girl’s best friend who has just moved to Boston. Tasked with helping Mia get settled, Gabriel must fight his attraction to the ER nurse. Mia made a promise to her bestie. To keep an eye on Gabe and make sure he is being faithful. But how can she do that when she’s fighting her own attraction to the star quarterback? Can these two overcome their obstacles and find love together?

Playing for Keeps: an Enemies to Lovers Sports Romance

Any publicity is good publicity, isn’t that what they say? Not for Tate Fontanna. He has a true hate/hate relationship with the media after the circus surrounding his uncle’s death. Now in the final season of his contract, with negotiations on the horizon, Tate can’t afford any bad press. Chloe Smith is a news reporter with a purpose. She needs a “good story” to show she is as good of a reporter as her legendary father. After overhearing a juicy tidbit about the Boston Militia linebacker, Chloe thinks she may have her story. But how far will she be willing to go after meeting Tate? Can these two put their ire aside and accept the feelings blooming between them?

As a new reader of Stephanie Queen, I was pleasantly surprised by this box series. Add the fact that I’m not a big sports fan and I’ll be honest, I wasn’t expecting to enjoy these books as much as I did. Ms. Queen uses witty humor, angst, chemistry, and interesting character attributes to draw the reader into her books. The sports theme isn’t overdone and unbearable for a non-sports fan. Overall, all three books were entertaining and enjoyable to read. I would definitely recommend picking up this series and giving it a go!
