By Amy Daws
Narrated by Erin Mallon & Aaron Shedlock with mult-cast performed by Will Watt & Charlotte Cole

Blurb:
Allie Harris wants payback. 

Her cheating ex deserves to see her living her best life; a one-night-stand with a hot South African soccer player would be the perfect revenge. Right?

Wrong. Allie is so, so wrong.

Roan Dewalt has all the moves.

On and off the field he's at the top of his game. Roan respects hard work, dedication, and follow through. He's not a one-and-done kind of man, and he's far from being done with Allie Harris.

One sexy night and two years later, Allie's job brings her back to town. An opportunity for the perfect replay Roan has been fantasizing about since they slept together.

The problem?

Allie Harris has a secret, one she's been keeping from Roan all this time. Video proof of their one night together taken without his consent.

Will Allie's payback plan come back to bite them both? Or can she erase her past mistake and embrace a new future with Roan?

Viviana's Review:
Sooo I'm a huge fan of Amy Daws the person! I have liked/loved her books, however, this one was meh. I'd even go as far as saying it would have been either a DNF (do not finish) or one that I would have skipped through if I had read the book vs listen to it. Thankfully, I picked up the audio! The narrators performance was why I kept listening if I may be 100% honest. 

The biggest issue (well there was really just the one) I had with the story was the repetitive narrative of Allie's secret and her 'struggles' with it. Here is the thing, we already KNOW what the secret is thanks to the blurb. Which we then can either figure out what could possibly be the  Hero's & Heroine's "dark moment" (what is the cause of them not being able to be together). What we don't know are the details of the "how" it occurs nor how the Hero & Heroine end up with their HEA. So it is a bit  predictable. However, as the saying goes, its the journey, not the destination that counts, right?

Without warning, my uncle pushes open a set of double doors and leads me into a changing room full of… Naked. Soccer players. Butt naked, wet or sweaty—I can’t quite tell—soccer players. I catch sight of one guy flicking a towel at the bare ass of another, so I duck my head and shield my gaze. Good-god, if I’m caught ogling several hanging members being swung about all willy-nilly, I’ll be sure to lose my job! Be cool, Allie. Be cool. You’re one of the guys! And you’ve seen penises before! I stumble behind Vaughn, who doesn’t miss a step as he continues marching on, walking past loads more of naked soccer players positioned at their lockers. Seriously, why are they all completely naked? Don’t they get cold? I thought shrinkage was a real thing! Nothing in this room is shrunken. Shranked? Whatever…I can’t grammar right now, there’s dicks everywhere! Vaughn rounds a corner to another set of lockers and states firmly, “Here we are.” I look up just as my high heel catches on something beneath me. I make a move to extract it, but my foot hooks on to whatever it is, holding my leg hostage while my body continues propelling forward. Letting out a yelp, I brace myself for an epic tumble. But instead of falling down on the concrete flooring like I thought I would, I end up face planting into a chest. A very manly chest. A very manly, naked chest, whose pecs feel like two smooth boulders tensing beneath my twitching fingers that are currently clinging on for dear life. “Ag, careful…That bag’s a biter,” a familiar voice murmurs on the top of my head as two very large hands wrap around my waist. I look up and every organ in my body does a somersault as I stare up into the gorgeously pale brown eyes of Roan DeWalt. My one-night-stand. Who’s apparently not at all worried about shrinkage.
