ABOUT THE BOOK:
NYT and USA Today Bestselling author Kaylee Ryan brings you a new standalone series surrounding the Nashville Rampage football team. Run the Play is a fake dating, found family, workplace, he falls first romance.
Rowan
I swore I’d never look twice at a football player again, especially after barely surviving the last one. But when my abusive ex gets traded to the team I work for, my past shows up to haunt me.
Not a moment too soon, star player Landry Reynolds runs interference, announcing that he’s my boyfriend. My emotions get the best of me, and I find myself playing along.
He’s charming, bold, and way too convincing. The more time we spend together, the harder it is to remember that it’s all pretend.
I might be falling for my fake boyfriend, but I can never have him for real. I could lose everything I’ve finally found, and that’s scarier than having my heart crushed by the wide receiver.
Landry
I didn’t mean to get involved. I just couldn’t watch her shrink away from him a second longer—not after knowing what he put her through.
So I did what I do best: I ran the play and told him she’s mine. Now I can’t stop thinking about how right that little white lie feels. How right she feels.
There’s a good chance I was never faking.
This started as a way to protect her. I never imagined it’d be so hard keeping my hands off her. Then again, I’ve never been very good at following the rules.

Run the Play by Kaylee Ryan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Rowan and Landry might just be my favorite couple to date from Kaylee Ryan. I know I say that about every new couple we meet, but damn… overprotective, supportive, and understanding heroes are my weakness—and Landry takes the cake.
Their relationship starts off as a tentative friendship and grows into something so much more. I loved how open they were once feelings started to surface. He was all in and willing to wait as long as it took to make her see that what they had was a forever kind of thing.
The resurfacing of the photo at the end of this book was the icing on the cake of an already amazing story.
Kaylee Ryan, you are a magician—and if it’s not clear from my review above, I 100% recommend this book!
