The Way We Touch by Tia Louise
The Bradford Boys #1
Release Date: June 10, 2024
My brother’s best friend might be a cocky wide receiver with an ego the size of Texas, but I did not mean to almost kill him with a ghost pepper.
Logan Murphy should come with a warning.
He’s as hot as a Carolina Reaper on black asphalt in the middle of July.
With perfectly messy dark hair and smoldering blue eyes—and don’t even get me started on the way that black tee stretches across his toned chest…
He’s my brother’s best friend.
He’s also a football star on track to win the first wide-receiver MVP in league history.
Good thing I only date golfers… or I did.
Good thing he’s only visiting for a month, because the more I see he’s not a player, the harder it is to block him from running away with my heart.
I’ve always loved football, but after eight years pro, everything about it leaves me cold.
So when I agree to head south with my best friend, the last thing I expect is to have my face melted off by his pepper-loving little sister.
Dylan Bradford was supposed to be a kid, not a feisty pinup who looks at me like she’s never seen a man before.
She’s all curves and cutoffs, bare feet dancing in the warm summer night,
But I’m only in town a month, and she doesn’t date football players.
Then late-night talks turn to sharing past hurts and future dreams, and shy looks turn to confident kisses.
The heat between us can’t be denied.
It’s spicy and sweet, and it melts us together.
Until the way we touch becomes more than friendly—it’s forever.
(A small-town, brother’s best friend, sports romance with hilarious “accidents,” and a dirty-talking hero. No cheating. No cliffhanger. No third-act breakup.)

EXCERPT
“You don’t watch the games?”
She shakes her head no. “It’s too hard after what happened to our dad and knowing the risks. I wish they’d all retire, but you can’t tell my brothers what to do.”
I’m not sure how I feel about this new information. I do know how I feel about it. I don’t like it one bit.
Gentling my tone, I take a step closer. “Life is uncontrollable, Dylan. I could walk out the door tomorrow and get hit by a car.”
“Don’t say that,” she whispers, lifting her hands as if she’ll say a prayer to ward it away.
“My point is, you’ve got to do what you love, and we love the game.”
“Trust me. I know.”
“You can’t control who you love or what happens. Saying you only date golfers is crazy.”
“Maybe, but if I don’t date football players, I’m not at risk of falling in love with one.”
Our eyes meet, and the air grows quiet and still. My stomach tightens, and somehow I’ve gotten close enough to touch her again. She’s standing in front of me in that short skirt and tight shirt, and her soft breasts rise quickly with her breath.
It’s been a while since I’ve been around a woman so open and vibrant and full of life. Someone who likes to play and dance and experiment with hot peppers.
A woman who has no business settling down with a man who plays golf…

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I absolutely loved this story. Both our MC’s are a little damaged but from the moment they met the sparks flew and soon the connection was there. Dylan is struggling with him being a pro football player. She really likes him but her family history and her damaged heart is keeping him at arms length. But seeing how hard he works and how much he supports her, the walls come tumbling down.
Logan> never imagined what fate had in store for him when he went with his best friend to visit his hometown. Meeting Dylan turned his world upside down. He didn’t expect her but he was fully on board to convince her he was in fact a safe bet. I fell hard for him when he stopped at nothing to make sure she knew just how special she was to him.
These two made it so easy to fall for them and I’m more than happy to come back to this small town to her Dylan’s brother finding his overdue HEA.
