"Playing to Score" delivers a deliciously tangled romance between Skylar, the ambitious captain of Calderdale Ladies, and Dr. Reece Forster, the team’s supportive yet off-limits doctor. As Skylar navigates heartbreak from a toxic relationship, her vulnerability leads her to confide in Reece, igniting a chemistry they can’t ignore. Reece's long-held feelings for Skylar add depth to his character, creating a palpable tension as they grapple with professional boundaries and personal desires. This revised edition expertly balances heart and steam, making it a compelling read for fans of contemporary sports romance. The stakes are high, and the connection is undeniable!

I enjoyed the third book int his series. You can read them as stand alone books, but I enjoy reading them in order as you follow the characters through each story. This wasn’t my favourite of the three, but a good storyline and a happy ending as expected, with some spiciness throughout. Can’t wait to read for the fourth one! Thank you for accepting my request for this book.

another fabulous read in this series - I really enjoyed this book and I loved reading Lanas story and seeing the characters from the previous books swell

Oh I’m back again after reading book 1 & 2, now finished book 3 and moving onto 4. I genuinely cannot get enough of these books. I’ve read all 3 in less then a week and I will clearly have book 4 done just as quickly (when it releases).

Lace has very quickly become a must read author for me, and I will not get enough of her. She makes these boring romance books come to life, and it just screams real life? Oh I hope that makes sense.

We follow Lana and Alex in this story and I just felt so many different emotions throughout, it was insane. I was happy, then I was sad, I was giggling and then I was crying. Honestly, I cannot cope with the way Lace writes these books. She’s a hidden gem.

We continue in this women's soccer league series with single dad, Alex, and Lana. This, so far, was the most emotional to read of the series. Alex has gone through a lot and is doing the best he can for his son. They both are scared to love and have to overcome some of their pasts. Such a great addition to the series!

Via Netgalley, I was given the opportunity to read the four books in the "Playing the field" series written by Sasha Lace:

Playing the game
Playing to score
Playing for keeps,
Playing to win

As I had all four downloaded, I read them all one after the other. They are quick, feel-good reads, bringing back my own footballing memories from playing for one of the top women's teams in my country.

Lane has created some great 'book role models' for aspiring young female footballers. The male lead characters are supportive, sweet, suitably geeky and all round cinnamon roll book boyfriends...

Book 3 in the series which i am loving! I think i liked this one the most as i really connected with the characters more emotionally. Loving the series which i don't want to end! I recommend this series to everyone who loves an easy romance to get stuck into.

Ladies football player, Lana, is always in search of a good time. After having a one night stand with the men's team newest goalie, she finds herself wanting to get to know him better. But the fact that Alex is older and has a child makes things complicated.

4 stars!!

ME AND SINGLE DAD BOOKS WOOOO I love them so much

this was such a fun read, yet so enjoyable.
the characters have such great emotions that make them feel so so so real.

My second Sasha Lace book (thrid in the series)!
And also loved this one!

In "Playing for Keeps" we follow Lana (the Wild child) and Alexander (the single dad) which is a troupe that allways works ;)

Yet another sweet, quick and esay read, that hits you right in the feelings!

This is the third book in a series but can be read as a standalone. sweet quick read. I read in two afternoons.

This has got to be my favourite of the series. Alex and Lana were a couple I was rooting for from the start. The single dad trope is always a weakness of mine but I also loved how misunderstood Lana was with everyone. She was a character that I wanted to see succeed. Fast-paced, action-packed and full of romance!

Good quick read. She really knows how to write the spice scenes! I loved Alex and Brodie. Lana was a little pushy? I get she had some serious stuff weighing her down, but dang do these adults make dumb decisions in the means of handling issues themselves. I was hoping the dad would also make a statement calling the journalist out and taking responsibility for his actions, but at least he got help.

This series gets better and better with each book. I adored Lana and Alexander - he was an absolute sweetheart and I love the single dad trope, so I was completely hooked!

It was good. It kept my attention but i didn’t really connect with the characters. If you are looking for a fun light hearted read then read this book.

Such a fantastic read and series. I loved the characters and all the connections from book to book. They all felt like a family by the end and really linked so well together.

I think this Alex & Lana are my favorite out of the four! Plus, I'm a sucker for single dad 😌 This was well-done in all aspects!

I rated this book 3.5 stars I think this may be my favourite in the series so far had the perfect balance of romance to context. I also really enjoyed that it covered some difficult topics such as grief as I think it could really help people going through similar struggles

This book along with the last one f the series were my favorites. Its a 4.5 star read. The only thing is that i didn't get the five star feeling but other than that it was perfect! The character development was amazing. The third act break up wasn't too much and the communication was almost perfect in the books. I loved both of these characters and felt so close to them! It did deal with difficult subjects which is something that everyone should check out before reading this. But i will for sure re read this book in the future!

Really enjoyed this age gap romance, and the footballer heroine is such a well written character!
I’ve read the entire series and enjoyed it so much - it’s got the feel good factor and humour of “Ted Lasso” with the juicy WAG moments of “Footballers Wives”, which just happens to be 2 of my favourite TV series
