About this listen

When the man you worshipped as a kid becomes your coach, it’s supposed to be the greatest thing in the world. Keywords: supposed to.

It didn’t take a week for twenty-seven-year-old Sal Casillas to wonder what she’d seen in the international soccer icon—why she’d ever had his posters on her wall, or ever envisioned marrying him and having super-playing soccer babies.

Sal had long ago gotten over the worst non-break-up in the history of imaginary relationships with a man that hadn’t known she’d existed. So she isn’t prepared for this version of Reiner Kulti who shows up to her team’s season: a quiet, reclusive shadow of the explosive, passionate man he’d once been.

Nothing could have prepared her for the man she got to know.

Or the murderous urges he brought out in her.

This was going to be the longest season of her life.

Amazing New Version

As a massive fan of the Callie version (I’ve listened to it at least 10 times) this is a great new adaptation. You just can’t compare it to Callie’s. If that one wasn’t out there, I think everyone would absolutely be obsessed with this version. The male narrator has to do so many accents, it’s so impressive to hear them all come to life in a male voice.

All that being said, this is a fantastic story with the classic MZ slow burn. It’s just so good. Sal grows up worshiping soccer phenomenon, Reiner Kulti. When he becomes her new assistant soccer coach, she finally realized what the phrase never meet your idols means.

Kulti is the ultimate grumpy a-hole and it is so much fun to watch his relationship with Sal develop. Don’t get me wrong their relationship goes up and down throughout the whole book, but as Sal will tell us, we always fight with the people we love the most.

This is my desert island book, and it is so much fun to now have 2 versions of the audio. 10/10 recommend picking this one up,

Tropes:
Coach/soccer player
Age gap (27 F and 39 M)
Sports romance (soccer)
Enemies to friends to lovers

Hands down one of the BEST slow burn sports romances ever!!

Wonderful voice acting with the exception that the female narrator occasionally would say Kulti like “cool-tee” and occasionally like “cult-tee” and that was distracting. Other than that, this audiobook was perfection, the dual narration was so much fun!

Still in love with it

When I saw that MZ was rerecording her books, I was crossing my fingers that Kulti would be one of them. I love Callie Dalton and think she's amazing. But there is something to be said about a man narrating the male voices. I loved this rerecording! This book is just a slow burn wonder. MZ is one of the absolute best at what she does! The narrators were great! I love that they both did accents perfectly, in my opinion. Overall, it was wonderful and I very much recommend this book. Thank you, MZ!

Epic & Enthralling Slowburn Sports Romance

This is one of my favorite books of all time! The main character is an epic heroine who’s a professional soccer player & owns a landscaping business. This book makes me laugh while also giving me all the feels. It’s a slowburn contemporary romance with enemies to lovers, age gap & celebrity aspect to it. The heroine’s dad is one of my favorites & is hilarious. I reread this book whenever I’m having a rough time. The audiobook is wonderful.
I would recommend this to anyone looking for a romance. This book is one of my go to comfort reads & I recommend this so often because I love it so dearly.

Loved the bonus epilogue:) Thank you, Mariana. The characters in this book now feel like old friends that I just had the chance to catch up with.

Fantastic new audio!!

The duet performance of this audiobook really brought it to life for me. I’ve read this book before a couple times and the previous audio almost made me DNF it the first time. It makes such a difference to have a duet audio and voice actors who can do decent accents.

Truly Enjoyed

M.Z. did it again. I love her slow burn books. Sometimes it's just what I'm looking for. This one was no different. Characters were engaging and well thought out. The father was one of my favorites ever! The narrators were phenomenal and I just really enjoyed it.

Forever a Favorite

I've loved this story since I found MZ's books and Callie's narration has a special place in my heart but this new duet version just reinforced this to forever be a favorite.
