Book Description
With our lives flipped upside down, I’m struggling to balance my career with the emotional needs of a girl whose world has been shattered. Despite the long list of women I could turn to, none of them measure up—not when I see the undeniable connection between my daughter and her reading teacher, Victoria…the woman who happens to be my enemy.
Our constant bickering feels like some twisted form of foreplay, and she offers me one night to “get it out of our systems.” But one night isn’t enough, and when the worst happens, I turn to Victoria first.
It’s what my daughter would want, but it’s quickly becoming what I need.
Then one mistake sets off a chain of events I never saw coming—legal battles, jail time, and league punishments. But none of that scares me as much as losing the two most important people in my life.
I never imagined I'd find the kind of unconditional love I’ve found with my daughter and Victoria. But somehow I’ve fumbled it all and lost them both.
Now I’m rewriting the playbook and doing whatever it takes to win them back.

My Thoughts
Lisa Suzanne's "Vegas Aces: The Playbook: The Complete Series" delivers a steamy and emotionally charged sports romance, perfectly suited for audiobook consumption. The narrative centers on a pro football player, grappling with single fatherhood after a tragic accident, and his complicated relationship with his daughter’s reading teacher, Victoria. The audiobook format amplifies the emotional intensity, allowing listeners to fully immerse themselves in the characters' turbulent journey.
The dual narration effectively captures the push and pull of the protagonists' dynamic. The male narrator embodies the rough exterior and vulnerable interior of the football player, while the female narrator portrays Victoria's strength and underlying tenderness. Their voices expertly convey the simmering tension and eventual emotional connection between the characters. The bickering, described as "twisted foreplay," is brought to life with palpable energy, making the romantic build-up both frustrating and compelling.
The story’s strength lies in its exploration of vulnerability and unexpected love. The protagonist's struggle to balance his demanding career with his daughter's emotional needs provides a relatable and poignant backdrop. The introduction of Victoria, who initially serves as his "enemy," adds a layer of complexity to the relationship. The audio performance highlights the characters' growth as they navigate grief, attraction, and the challenges of blended family dynamics.
However, the plot, while engaging, occasionally relies on familiar romance tropes, including the "one night stand" that escalates into something more, and the "misunderstanding" that leads to dramatic separation. Despite these familiar elements, the audiobook's compelling narration and emotional depth elevate the story, making it a satisfying listen for fans of sports romance and second-chance narratives. The emotional roller coaster of legal battles, jail time, and league punishments is well represented within the narration and keeps the listener engaged.
