Bellamy
I watched my parents’ marriage crumble when my father chose football over family. His love for the game destroyed us. It’s why I loathe it. It’s also why I don’t trust easily.
So when I meet a handsome stranger at a hotel bar, we trade nothing but first names. I’m miles from home and I’ll never see him again.
Until I do. At a family event with my dad, he’s there—my mystery man from weeks ago. Only now, I know who he is: a football player on my father’s team. Which means I need to forget him… and his tight end.
Reid
The night I meet the dark-haired beauty at the bar, everything changes. We talk, laugh, and our connection is unlike anything I’ve ever felt. The next morning, she’s gone, leaving me with only her name.
I think I’ve lost her, until she walks into my stadium, standing right beside my coach. Fate hands me a second chance, and I’m not letting it slip.
To her, I’m just another football player. But I’ll prove to her that I’m not her father… I’m my own man. And my dream girl, she was meant to be mine.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars
In this latest book from Kaylee Ryan’s Nashville Rampage series, Reid has a one-night stand with a sexy stranger at a hotel… and several weeks later, Bellamy shows up at a team event because it turns out that she is his coach’s daughter. Add on the tropes of he falls first, forbidden romance, a heroine who doesn’t want to date athletes, a golden retriever hero, and a surprise pregnancy, and this story was a joy to read.
Learn The Play is a low-angst read, and was a much-needed escape. Once Bellamy discovered who her sexy stranger really was, she had her walls firmly in place. Reid really had his work cut out for him, but he was such a swoony hero. This book also has a secondary storyline with the fractured relationship between Bellamy and her dad, and I enjoyed seeing them repair that and find a way to move forward. I have really been enjoying this series, the found family, and the support system between all the guys, and I liked how Bellamy was adopted into the friend group.
I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
