REVIEW: Love Game by Maggie Wells

Love Game by Maggie Wells: National Championship winner as an undergrad player and later a coach for Wolcott University, not to mention her time in the WNBA, Kate is a legend at the university and throughout her town. Now she wants the recognition from the school that she’s earned. But stealing the spotlight from her work, is the washed-up and scandal-ridden football coach Danny.

Danny took the fall for unethical recruiting practices a few years back at his old coaching position, and now he’s finally getting the chance to redeem himself – even if it is at a second-rate football school. But before he has a chance to prove his worth, he meets Kate, a woman who leaves him speechless.

What begins as antagonism, turns into a spotlight when the media can’t get enough of their chemistry. And that soon turns into bedroom antics. But Danny has a morality clause – so what does he choose? A woman who’s shaken him to his core, or the redemption he’s longed for for so long.

I really liked LOVE GAME. Danny and Kate definitely had sparks between them, and they fit well. Both champions, both powerful and confident, and both fighters in the best way. They are, no doubt, a match made in heaven.

And even though sports had a strong presence in this romance, it added a level of depth and interest to the story that I wasn’t expecting. My one issue would be that they fell too quickly for one another. It felt like suddenly they were in love, and I really wanted more development between them before we got to that point.

However, even so, this story was fully of life and engaging story lines. I highly recommend LOVE GAME for any romance who loves a sports romance – or just wants a strong as hell heroine to root for.

Kate Snyder scored her first national championship in her undergrad days at Wolcott University, and now she’s a coaching legend. The last thing she wants is to work beside a washed-up coach escaping scandal, but the University hands her Danny McMillan.

Danny was hoping his transition at Wolcott University would go smoothly, but clashing with snarky Kate has made things difficult. Even as she finally lightens up towards him, a local reporter can’t get enough of their verbal fireworks on camera. What the cameras don’t know is that the sparks are even hotter behind the scenes…
