About this listen

Two soccer stars share a secret along with a rivalry that stretches halfway around the world in this lighthearted, second-chance lesbian romance.

Knockabout Australian Keeley McGee is living her childhood dream of playing soccer at the World Cup. The only thing that could kill her focus is coming up against the cool and dispassionate US team's star striker.

Beautiful, brilliant Christine Delacourt was the college girlfriend who dumped Keeley out of the blue years before.

What will it be like reuniting under the stadium lights, especially since they know the other's game—and each other—so intimately?

Despite a strict "no distractions" rule from her coach, Keeley finds herself drawn to Christine in a way that feels almost dangerous. Will Keeley be able to rekindle what she once shared with her now on—field enemy with the eyes of the world on them? Dare she even try?

Contains mature themes.

Adorable & Lighthearted

I really enjoyed this lighthearted romance of two pro-level athletes who have chemistry and connection. The characters’ flaws, personal struggles, and growth across their individual arcs felt realistic and relatable.

The story is told with alternating chapters of present time and flashbacks to 5 years ago in the characters’ past. I always find this approach to storytelling a challenge to maintain emotional connection to the characters and maintaining orientation to the circumstances in each timeline. But by the mid-way point, I was able to stay rooted in both timeline narratives and could appreciate the way this approach allows for purposeful revelation of the characters’ journey to the present time.

Cat Gould on narration is always a winner in my book. It was great to hear a native Aussie accent, and she does an excellent American accent. I definitely recommend this story for a lighthearted, low-angst romance set in the world of pro football/soccer.
