A second chance doesn't guarantee a touchdown in this new contemporary romance from the author of Intercepted.
Single-mother Poppy Patterson moved across the country when she was sixteen and pregnant to find a new normal. After years of hard work, she's built a life she loves. It may include a job at a nightclub, weekend soccer games, and more stretch marks than she anticipated, but it's all hers, and nobody can take that away. Well, except for one person.
T.K. Moore, the starting wide receiver for the Denver Mustangs, dreamt his entire life about being in the NFL. His world is football, parties, and women. Maybe at one point he thought his future would play out with his high school sweetheart by his side, but Poppy is long gone and he's moved on.
When Poppy and TK cross paths in the most unlikely of places, emotions they've suppressed for years come rushing back. But with all the secrets they never told each other lying between them, they'll need more than a dating playbook to help them navigate their relationship.

In the second installment of the Playbook series, Martin (Intercepted) tells the witty, sexy, fun side of what happens when high school sweethearts try to rekindle a romance after living very different lives for 10 years. Single mom Poppy is a waitress at a club, trying to support her son, Ace. When NFL football star Trevor Kyle “TK” Moore shows up one night, Poppy is forced to face the last time she saw him and why she left. She was pregnant, and thought TK believed she’d had an abortion; she now realizes he may not have known about her pregnancy at all. As she adjusts to dating an NFL star, and TK adjusts to being a dad, Poppy’s friends use wine, laughs, and sass to help her navigate fans, gossip blogs, and difficult football wives. When TK is faced with a decision that shapes his future in the NFL, it also decides their future together. Readers will laugh, swoon, and grow to love every character in this entertaining contemporary romance. Agent: Jessica Watterson, Dijkstra Agency. -
Narrator N'Jameh Camara energetically voices single-mother Poppy Patterson and her son, Ace, as they connect with his dad, football star TK Moore. Camara is a good match for Poppy's first-person honesty as she expresses her feelings of doubt and fear about what football might do to her life. Her droll tones play up situational humor, sometimes to the point of laugh-out-loud snark. Ace has a higher voice that differentiates him and emphasizes his boyish antics. Camara does fumble in attempting to enunciate every word clearly and has some awkward pauses. During the romantic scenes, she becomes calm and quiet, failing to match Martin's textual intensity. Nonetheless, the issue-driven topic and Camara's inviting narration will keep listeners engaged with Poppy's story. C.A. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
