Dash by Kayley Loring and Connor Crais is a sweet, saucy, and utterly delightful accidental pregnancy sports romance that keeps you cheering from start to finish. As the second book in the Boston Tomcats series, it brilliantly brings together number ninety-nine, Dash Taylor—a two-hundred-and-eighty-five-pound rookie defensive end—and Charlie Bardot, a sophisticated, petite, but fiercely determined ballerina.
Book Description
#99 Dash Taylor. Rookie defensive end for the Boston Tomcats. 285 pounds of fast-twitch muscle. Nickname: Big D
See, I had a bad attitude my whole life and that’s why my college coach sent me to take ballet lessons as punishment. The real punishment? Being taught to plié by a beautiful ballerina who refused to date me. Two years later, when we’re both professionals, I get a second chance to show her what Big D’s all about.
I thought I’d sack her by being the guy who can make his pecs dance to the beat of any song. But it isn't the other team’s offensive line who brings me to my knees, it’s a sophisticated hundred-pound ballerina. She sets me straight like no one else ever could.
I thought I was all about the smash and dash.
But getting Charlie Bardot pregnant changed everything.

My Thoughts
Dash by Kayley Loring and Connor Crais is a sweet, saucy, and utterly delightful accidental pregnancy sports romance that keeps you cheering from start to finish. As the second book in the Boston Tomcats series, it brilliantly brings together number ninety-nine, Dash Taylor—a two-hundred-and-eighty-five-pound rookie defensive end—and Charlie Bardot, a sophisticated, petite, but fiercely determined ballerina.
At first glance, the striking physical contrast and clashing personalities hint at a classic opposites-attract story. Their journey began years prior when Dash was sent to ballet lessons as a punishment by his college coach, only to be taught to plié by a beautiful dancer who refused to date him. Two years later, both are professionals living out their respective dreams when they get a second chance to see what "Big D" is really all about.
While their blazing-hot chemistry absolutely burns up the pages, digging deeper reveals that these two ambitiously driven characters actually share a profound emotional connection. The story expertly handles a timeline that features a little time-hopping, beautifully overlapping with scenes from book one, Decker. While it can absolutely be read as a standalone, fans of the series will love seeing those puzzle pieces click together.
What truly sets this book apart is Dash's phenomenal character arc. He evolves from a brute who thinks he's only about the "smash and dash" into a man completely dedicated to proving he is boyfriend and daddy material, all without sacrificing his charismatic, witty, and fiercely entertaining personality. The narrative also beautifully explores the idea that it is entirely okay for your lifelong dreams to change, adding a layer of highly relatable realism to the romance.
The story is packed to the brim with entertaining elements, including hilarious text exchanges, Dirty Dancing references, a highly entertaining pec-dancing talent, and craving-fueled pregnancy hormones, all culminating in a heart-melting happy-ever-after.
The audiobook production takes the enjoyment to another level with a flawless duet-style narration by Connor Crais and Emma Wilder. Their incredible vocal performances make the characters feel entirely real, masterfully guiding listeners through moments that will make you laugh, tear up, and smile with absolute hearts in your eyes. Adding to this audio delight are the supporting cast of voices of Mackenzie Cartwright and Evan Parker. It is a must-listen romance that proves life's unexpected surprises are often the absolute best ones.
