The Game of Love II

By: K. Alex Walker

Narrated by: Lacy Laurel

Professional Quarterback Austin Riley is finally seeing his dreams come to fruition - he has a ring under his belt, he is one of the league's top contenders for future Hall of Fame recognition, he is building a family legacy, and just months away, he will be marrying the woman he's loved since before he understood what love truly meant: Sommer Hayes.

But it is in times of invincibility that a man's true nature is tested. His past comes back to haunt him in a way he never expected. After all of the media scrutiny that nearly tore his family apart, he finds himself having to choose between putting the spotlight back on the mess he has created or keeping a secret from Sommer, knowingly building their marriage...on a lie.

Summer, girl smh

In book 2, Sommer annoyed me a lil with her naivete. Didn't like how she was very quick to befriend a stranger not knowing the woman's intentions and how she looked over tooooo many of Austin's behaviors to be surprised at what his actions could've let to. I know it makes for a good story, it just irked me lol

Give this series a try

I was hesitant to listen to this series at first, but I figured why not. The narrator is nowhere near the worst or best. The male voice that she portrayed is the only thing that got me, but back to why I say give this Audible a try.

The author captures real-life scenarios that a couple can encounter when they finally open up to a relationship with each other.

There were several times that I was ready to curse the MMC out for the steps he took to protect himself or not hurt the MFC when a certain situation happened before them.

After the hurdles they encountered, they made it to the
finish line.

Not What I Expected

I wish I stopped after book one, but I’m a glutton for punishment. I read the summary, so I knew Austin and Sommer were going to experience trials. There’s something soothing about a complete HEA in one book. This “sequel” left me in too much angst for the majority of the book after I thought the HEA occurred. No fault to the author, but I personally listen to romance for escapism from the harsh reality of flawed people, so I only kept listening to get to the HEA, not because I enjoyed it. If you like a little treachery with your romance, you’ll love this book.

The narration wasn’t great. The actor needs work on her accents, because it was painful to listen to one of her character portrayals.

Very well written!

I’m happy I decided to get both books. I was a little worried at first, I was not adjusting well to the narrator’s approach. But the more I listened the better it got. I enjoyed every part of the story and the narrator’s voice.

Enjoyable

Please make a third game of love. Book was so amazing. You’re a fantastic writer. I’m looking forward to reading more of your books.
