Playing for Keeps Book 1: Rookie Move by Riley Hart & Neve Wilder


Rookie Move (Playing for Keeps, #1)
Playing for Keeps Book 1

 Falling for a teammate who also happens to be your brother's best friend? Total rookie move. 


McRAE: I’ve had a crush on my brother’s best friend since the moment I laid eyes on him four years ago.

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.

But I’ve got other things I should be focusing on, like dominating my rookie year with the Denver Rush and finally stepping out of my brother’s shadow.

Besides, Ramsey’s straight.

RAMSEY: I’ve never tapped into my bisexuality—never told anyone except my best friend that I’m bi. All I want is to play football and not draw media attention like my dad, who got ousted from the league.

Garrett McRae is my biggest temptation. He’s gotten under my skin for years.

I’m supposed to be looking out for him, not thinking about getting him naked.

And definitely not the kiss we shared.

That I somehow instigated.

It was stupid, and not like me, but God, it was hot.

We’re teammates, with million-dollar contracts on the line. And yet…is a little experimentation really so bad?

Rookie Move is a low-angst, high-heat sports romance in the Playing for Keeps series.

My Review: 4/5 Stars

Such a fun sports romance! Garrett and Ramsey are hilarious together and have such great chemistry. It was so fun seeing them eventually get together and navigate their friends with benefit relationship. Which we all know, including them, that it doesn’t really work without catching some feelings. Garrett has known Ramsey for a long time. He’s the best friend of his brother. Garrett even acknowledges that it was meeting Ramsey that made him realize he was bisexual. But despite his crush, he knew nothing would come from it. He knew Ramsey was straight. Or so he thought. Ramsey knew he was bisexual but never met a guy that tempted him to start a relationship. However, he can’t deny the attraction he feels for Garrett. But with their football careers on the line, he knows it is much easier and safer for the two of them to not start anything. The world may now Garrett is bi, but not Ramsey. However, their chemistry and attraction to another proves to much and it doesn’t take them long to break the rules. But keeping a secret relationship while also trying hard not to catch feelings doesn’t always work out as planned. This story was just so fun. Great banter and their romance was so sweet. I usually don’t do many sports romances besides hockey, but football was a fun one to explore! I’m gonna have to keep a look out for more in this series.
