Resisting the Running Back

A Nash Brothers Standalone

By: Lisa Suzanne

Narrated by: Kelsey Navarro Foster, Tor Thom

A steamy, pro football, best friends to lovers, fake relationship romance from Amazon Top Ten bestselling author Lisa Suzanne.

When my ex exposes my secret romance pen name to my students and my world unravels, I turn desperately to the one person who's always had my back: my childhood best friend Miller Banks. The pro football running back drops everything, leaving in the middle of his wild Vegas birthday party to be by my side.

With my life in shambles back home, Miller invites me to stay with him in San Diego, offering both a sanctuary and a chance to pursue my writing career since my teaching days are over. It's the perfect setup with the ultimate book boyfriend, though we've never crossed that line and never will.

But then I make the mistake of telling my mother that Miller and I are in a relationship, and we tell my ex that we're engaged. Thankfully, Miller plays along, grabbing me into the kind of steamy, soul-shattering kiss I can't stop thinking about.

As I watch my new roommate work out and cook dinner, it's becoming harder to ignore the chemistry simmering between us. Especially when our "engagement" hits the media and we're forced to be a happy couple in public, further blurring the line between real and fake.

We can't cross that line. I have to continue resisting the running back. If I don't, we could both lose the very thing that matters most to us.

my heart melts for this couple

Absolutely love, sweet Miller and Sophie. Sometimes I just really want to shake Miller and say open your mouth but all in all adorable heartwarming story.

Loved the entire Vegas Aces series and the Nash Brothers series, but this is my least favorite.

Two friends of nearly twenty years, and they can’t have an honest conversation? They love each other but are so “scared” and fragile that they would rather walk away? Are these adults or children? Can we write books about adults who can act like adults in their adult relationships. These are 30 something people. Not 16 year olds. Let’s normalize writing about people with communication skills and some backbone. What a couple of whiny, weak people in this story. Ugh. I wish I would have kept my $15
