Coach Bradford has a dirty little secret… and it’s not (just) me.
Jack Bradford is the oldest of the Bradford siblings, my best friend’s brother, and my son’s football coach. He’s six-two, dark hair, ocean-blue eyes, broad shoulders, and a square jaw that’s perpetually flexed. He’s a hero in our small town, and the gentle way he cares for his young daughter will melt your… everything.
I’ve done my best to show my interest, even walking down the aisle on his arm four times (in his younger siblings’ weddings). Everyone in Newhope ships us, but he always keeps me at arm’s length. I’d pretty much given up on landing this DILF, when an overbearing dad says my son is only QB-1 because I give the coach “special favors.” (I wish!) Then my ex-con ex-husband starts threatening us, and the walls break.
Coach Jack shows up at my door, sleeps on my couch, and his fight disappears. Being with him is beyond my wildest dreams. His secrets don’t scare me. He’s everything I’ve ever wanted… and more. Together, we’re a win, and at last I go from dirty little secret to dirty little wife.
(The Way We Win is a small-town, single dad, single mom, football romance with a HOT high school football coach, a sexy librarian, Friday night lights, ALL the Bradford fun, SPICE, and a touch of suspense. No cheating, no cliffhanger, and no third-act breakup.)
Allie and Jack have been dancing around one another for a long time, although nobody else can quite understand why they resist the attraction between them. Everyone else has been shipping them for years because it’s clear these two are perfect for one another, but they’re both stubborn and determined not to give in to the pull. Until they can’t hold out any longer.
Jack hasn’t wanted to get close to anyone since his ex-wife upended their lives, abandoning their infant daughter to his care without a second thought. But Allie Sinclair consumes his thoughts every day. Sure, she’s beautiful and he’d be lying if he said the sexy librarian thing wasn’t a huge bonus, but it’s more than that: She has the biggest heart, she’s the best mom and the woman is absolutely amazing with his daughter.
She wants Jack Bradford every bit as much as he wants her, but Allie’s got too much baggage, so her life isn’t compatible with dating and relationships. But there’s something about him that makes her want to take a chance. I really liked these characters and their sweet story with a touch of suspense. It’s a slow burn but when it ignites, things are explosive. This is one I couldn’t put down and that epilogue was everything. I’d like to thank the author and The Author Agency for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
