About this listen
Friday night lights hide more than they reveal…
When retired NFL superstar Keller Williams returns to his small town to coach his old high school football team, he’s surprised how much he enjoys being out of the limelight and on the field with the kids. Even more surprising is his immediate attraction to the father of one of his players—single dad Niall Harper.
Problem number one: Niall Harper isn’t gay.
Problem number two: Keller isn’t out to the world.
Problem number three: Niall hates his guts. And Keller has no idea why.
High school librarian Niall Harper has always done the right thing. Except be true to himself. Divorced and raising his teenaged son, Niall is dismayed to discover the new football coach is none other than his long-ago Friday night fantasy and nemesis. Not that it matters—Keller doesn’t remember him. It’s nothing new; Niall has always been easy to forget. Now Keller wants to be friends. And more. Niall can’t deny the annoying man makes him laugh and feel things he’d only dreamed possible. But would a player like Keller be satisfied with a regular guy like him?
Being together is more than complicated, but they are willing to take the risk. Niall reveals he’s dating his son’s coach, and Keller comes out to the team, his fans, the press, and small-town gossips. Neither is prepared for the fallout, but that doesn’t stop them. It’s time to throw the Hail Mary pass of a lifetime and win the game of forever. And they’re ready.

Story
When I left Birchbark angry and heartbroken, I vowed never to return. Fate had other plans. The father I hate had a stroke, so now I'm back in the Upper Peninsula to take care of him. The locals treat Dad like royalty, while Dad vacillates between open anger and flat-out ignoring me. Throw in my messy relationship with my brothers, and being in Birchbark becomes unbearable.

Story
What’s a straight guy to do when he accidentally goes on a date with his brand new gym-bro? Offer to be the best wingman ever, of course! It’s foolproof. Joey needs a man? I’ll find him one. He wants someone who looks, well, kind of like me? No problem! Not into watersports? I’ve got him covered. The issue is, going on all these dates with Joey makes me realize I want more of his time to be spent with me. I like the guy. And his smile. And the way he makes me feel like anything is possible.

If I had to choose one word to describe my new cocky costar, it’d be exasperating. Nikolas Adamos may look like a Greek god—and he certainly struts around like he knows it—but unlike everyone else, I refuse to fall prey to his charms. Unfortunately for me, Niko and I get paired to do a series of lovey-dovey boyfriend videos for our employers at Elite 8 Studios. And when you film the sort of scenes we do, up close and personal takes on a whole new meaning.

Warner Ramsey is 225 pounds of pure hotness, a media darling, and one of the best NFL quarterbacks in the league. Hell, he’s the reason I figured out I’m solidly bi. It was easy to keep my crush under control when I was in college. Now, we play for the same team, and every time he talks smack, I want to shut him up. With my mouth.

Duty, honor, and sacrifice. Dedicating my life to these elements, for family and country, leaves little for myself in return. It's why I indulge in a no-strings hookup with a handsome stranger mere days before heading half-a-world away. Except one night turns into a week-long fling, creating a connection at the most inopportune time. And neither of us want it to end. Staying in touch is easy at first, but dwindles to radio silence and distant memories as time passes.

I was intrigued by Crow at first glance. Who wouldn't be? He's a mountain of a man, who was raised in a cult, and now lives secluded in the wilderness. But the draw I feel to him goes beyond mild interest. When his intense gaze falls my way it feels like he can see into my soul, to my deepest yearnings and desires. I took a bold chance venturing to his mountain uninvited. But I can't help myself. Despite Crow’s dangerous facade, I feel at home when I’m near him. I've never felt wanted or needed… until the mountain man took me in his arms.

Wrong never felt so right. Morgan Cantrell is a survivor. After running away from an abusive husband, he’s finally divorced and starting over, but it’s hard. Of course he doesn’t mean to set off the smoke detectors in the building or short out the electricity in his apartment. Mistakes happen. The last thing he wants is to draw the attention of his growly, moody-ass super. Every time they meet, it’s like oil and water - they just don’t mix. They can’t even speak to each other without arguing, but Leo has to admit - it’s kind of a turn on.

Living in a home with three of my closest veteran buddies is a challenge as we all have our crosses to bear and wounds to heal from, but mine only seem to be getting deeper with every step forward I take. I already have to adjust to a new life as a civilian. I don’t need a sexuality crisis to go with it.

He not only has a toddler building her skills as a professional klepto, but he's also on the verge of divorce, and hoping desperately to save his business before it goes under. Luckily, the owner of the stolen leg might just be an angel in disguise when he offers to be Lane's new nanny instead of pressing charges.

A Story That Stays With You
I don’t usually leave reviews — actually, I almost never do — but this book is absolutely an exception. The Player by Felice Stevens grabs hold of you right from the beginning and doesn’t let go until the very last word. It’s one of those stories that you think about long after you’ve finished it.
Now, full disclosure: this book isn’t going to be for everyone. Without giving away spoilers, it’s obviously set in the world of football, but it’s also deeply rooted in LGBTQ themes, exploring how identity and acceptance are dealt with at a young age and through high school years. It’s powerful without being preachy, raw without being overwhelming.
Honestly, not to be dramatic, but this book woke up something in me that I didn’t even realize I was missing — a real sense of purpose. As a gay man myself, I found so much of what Keller (the main character) and the high school players were going through incredibly relatable. Their struggles, their wins, the internal battles... it all hit home in a way that few stories ever have for me.
I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone. My only caveat: it has very mature scenes, so I personally think it’s best suited for adults or maybe for older high school students — like 11th or 12th graders — but definitely not younger than that.
Also, a quick shoutout to the narrator — they nailed it. The voice, the pacing, the emotion — it was spot on. I would absolutely listen to more books narrated by them without a second thought.
In short: The Player isn’t just a book, it’s an experience — one I’m really grateful I stumbled across.

Fantastic!
Love! I absolutely loved this small town romance. So much so, I had to listen on audio as well. Felice Stevens does a fantastic job picking her narrators to voice her characters. Blake Lockheart did a fantastic job drawing me into a story I had already read and loved. He brought all the feels with these two closeted men finding each other and their happiness. I adored Keller, he was a bright ray who loved what he found himself doing as he settled back in his hometown - coaching high school football. He brought a smile to my face more than a few times and was a guy you couldn’t help rooting for. Niall also works at the high school, and his son plays for Keller. Niall is none too happy to have Keller back in his life, even though Keller is oblivious to Niall’s past hurts. Keller’s presence brings back all the past feelings of bullying that Keller’s former teammates used to inflict upon him. I appreciated Keller’s doggedness in trying to get Niall to open up to him and tell him why he had so much animosity towards him. I enjoyed their slow fall into friendship and into more. Keller was so patient with Niall as he explored his sexuality, and I loved the firsts that Niall shared with Keller. I loved their chemistry and their connection. There was so much character build up of each of these men, and those who were most important to them, that you couldn’t help but get drawn into their story and the unfortunate drama that reared its ugly side. I loved the support they received when they needed it most. While their story was slow to develop, I couldn’t put it down. Do yourself a favor and block out some you time to listen (or read) this in one sitting! This was a wonderful story and I couldn’t recommend it more!

Her best book yet!
Small town hero returns home and reunites with the bookish librarian who was bullied by the football hero’s old friends in high school. A journey of each coming to terms with who they are on their own and then together. I loved this story and will listen again!

Great story, great story!!
It’s an earnest and sexy romance tackling family, loss and coming out as an adult. I cared about both mc’s pretty quickly. It didn’t hurt that the audiobook features a really sexy half dressed beefcake football player on the cover art. It was easy to retain the image in chapters that focused his character. The narration is believable and satisfying.

couldn't stop listening
This book made me smile and I couldn't stop listening. I love that it brought to light the ways the public/parents could react, how a team comes together and that at the end of the day love, support and the want to protect are most important.

Love it
It has been such a long time since I listened to a worthy reading. It is so difficult to find a good romance, but this is it, simple, not mental health issues, no criminal to catch, just a simple romance.

a small town romance
As a fan of this author's writing, I was surprised this was a hard one to finish. Not because of the TW, but because I didn't connect to these characters.
