About this listen
The new girl in town, a fantasy football league full of eligible bachelors, and only her dignity and heart are on the line.
Harper Duquaine doesn’t have the best record.
After coming up short in her last relationship, and consequently losing her job, she’s in rebuilding mode, living in her brother’s basement while trying to save up enough money for a fresh start. On a whim, Harper decides to impress her new co-workers by joining their fantasy football team. The only problem: She doesn’t know a tight end from a running back or a sleeper from a keeper.
It doesn’t help that she almost immediately finds herself drawn to her two biggest competitors. There’s the bad boy former college football star, who is now a minor celebrity, and the mild-mannered high school coach, who may have a few tricks up his sleeve.
Harper is out to prove that when it comes to love - and fantasy football - if you can’t beat ‘em, you’d better join ‘em. Then beat them.
From the award-winning author of Playing House and Counting on You, First & Goal is laugh-out-loud romantic women’s fiction about starting over, learning to trust your heart, and building your own happily ever after.

Story
When Dani gets a flat tire on her way home one evening, she is, at first, less than thrilled to be helped out by a man that is clearly too charming for his own good. Even if he is handsome. And buff. And the king of the thousand watt smile. However, prickly Dani is eventually charmed by her hottie knight in shining sunglasses. And a brief moment spent on the side of the road on a hot summer evening quickly leads to a first date.

I met my dream girl. That’s right. She’s stunning and the worst bartender I’ve ever seen. I should have gone home and gone to sleep—dream girl or not. I had an early morning and the season was starting soon. But when she threatened me with boy band karaoke, I couldn't help myself. I went. The stars aligned. I have never felt more alive or wanted anyone more than I want her.

Single and jobless again, I return to Boston, needing old friends to comfort me from bad decisions, like dating my boss, moving in with him, and being dumped, fired, and homeless all in one night. Note to self, never ask a man “Where is this going?” when you have no place to go! So when my bestie tells me an old friend from high school happens to be looking for a roommate, I jump at the chance. What she didn’t tell me was that this "old friend" was Carson Hill, Mass High School’s center hockey player and the guy who didn’t know I existed while I knew every detail about him.

Then his boss drops a bombshell: Cole has competition. Female competition, in the form of a fresh-faced tomboy who can hang with the dudes and write circles around them, too. Penelope Pope knows all too well that she comes off as just one of the guys.

Story
With Olympic tryouts on the horizon, the last thing 19-year-old Kinsley Bryant needs to add to her plate is Liam Wilder. He's a professional soccer player, America's favorite bad-boy, and has all the qualities of a skilled panty-dropper. A face that makes girls weep - check. Abs that can shred Parmesan cheese (the expensive kind) - check. Enough confidence to shift the earth's gravitational pull - double check. Not to mention Liam is strictly off limits. Forbidden. Her coaches have made that perfectly clear.

Amber McCloud’s dream is to become cheer captain at the end of the year, but it’s an extra-tall order to be joyful and spirited when the quarterback of your team has been killed in a car accident. For both the team and the squad, watching Robbie get replaced by newcomer Jack Walsh is brutal. And when it turns out Jack is actually short for Jaclyn, all hell breaks loose. Amber tries for unity, but it quickly becomes clear that she's only got a future on the squad and with her friends if she helps them take Jack down. Just one problem: Amber and Jack are falling for each other.

I can't say they didn't warn me. Right now, I realize: I probably should have listened. Because if there's anyone who has no business playing a sport that requires a helmet, pads, and a liability waiver, it's this girl. The same girl who once knocked herself out during a game of backyard baseball. I stepped up to the plate, pulled the bat back a little too far to swing, and clocked myself in the back of the skull. Boom. Lights Out Lucy. That's how I got my roller derby name. So yeah. Maybe I should have known better.

Great Book!
Any additional comments?
This is a great book; this is the first book in the Queen of the League series written by Laura Chapman and narrated by Annie Abate. When Harper Duquaine's no-nonsense approach to work unintentionally ruffles the wrong feathers at her new job, she joins her co-workers fantasy football league to prove she can hang with the guys. The problem is she has no clue when it comes to football. Embroiled in a world of lineups, stats, and trades, Harper's quest to make nice topples when her competitive streak emerges. And her promise to herself that she'll be a strong, independent woman and leave the drama and heartache behind is seriously tested when she catches the attention of her two biggest competitors: J.J., a local celebrity determined to win a fantasy championship, and Brook, the mild-mannered coach who seems too good to be true. Both threaten her resolve to remain single and, more importantly, her chances at winning the prize pool.
The narrator Annie Abate did a wonderful job with this book. She did a great job with the different voices of each character in this book. It was very easy to listen to and I didn’t want to stop listening until the end.
If you are looking for a great book with well-developed characters then you need to listen to this book. I am looking forward to listening to the next book by this author and narrator.

Sweet sports romance
Would you listen to First & Goal again? Why?
I would not listen to this story again. While I found the story enjoyable I wasn't overly fond of the narration and it wasn't a story I would listen to/read again. It just didn't take me away
Would you be willing to try another book from Laura Chapman? Why or why not?
I would be willing as I think there are a lot of good bones to her writing style
Did Annie Abate do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
Annie did although I found her voice a little whiny in parts and that was difficult for me to listen to
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No :(

Enjoyable Sports Romance :-)
To be honest I've heard about Fantasy Football but I didn't know much about it. This book takes Fantasy Football to a whole new level. It's a flirty and romantic sports adventure that takes an unfamiliar subject and makes it an interesting and fun story. If you love sports romances put this one on your list for sure. :-).
Note: This one does have adult language and non-explicit sex.
I would like to thank the author, narrator or publisher for providing me this review copy in exchange for my honest review.

Fantatsticly flirty
What did you love best about First & Goal?
It really captures the passion of a newly discovered fandom. In this case it was football but anyone who try's something new and ends up enjoying it can relate to this story.
What other book might you compare First & Goal to and why?
I don't really know of any comparison.
What does Annie Abate bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
She brings a flirty vibe with her narration and I swear you can picture the character rolling her eyes just by the tone of the narration, her exaggerations and personality really make the character lively.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Football and flirting.
Any additional comments?
What I really loved is how Harper made me think of my crazy football fanatic Aunt who will totally jump up and down on the furniture when her team scores. But more than that I loved how she learns to not be so serious, and ultimately gets that it's just a game. Her romance was cute and Brook was a total sweetheart...JJ was not my favorite character, but you be the judge for yourself. I would recommend this book, though I would add a warning that there is a good amount of football technical jargon, though a lot of it was explained and you don't really need to understand it all to enjoy the story. I obtained my audiobook copy for free from audiobook boom for my unbiased review.

New narrator please!
First think right off the bat were the voices. I tried to suck it up and get invested in the story. The problem was is the main character, Harper, came off as a total brat. I’m not sure if the voice had something to do with it or it was really how it read but regardless, I had a hard time liking her.
The more characters the book introduced the worse the voices got. I could not picture the guys being attractive or cool or normal because they all sounded so stupid. I had to stop.
