Description
The Long Game by Elena Armas is a contemporary romance and the first book in the Green Oak series. Adalyn Reyes has built her career around proving herself at Miami Flames FC, but after an embarrassing altercation with the team mascot goes viral, her father sends her to rural North Carolina to revive a struggling local children’s football team. The problem is that the team consists of nine-year-olds who wear tutus to practice, keep pet goats and are terrified of their new coach.
Her other obstacle is Cameron Caldani, a retired football star whose mysterious presence in town makes him an ideal person to help Adalyn. Unfortunately, their first encounter involves a rooster, Cam’s leg and Adalyn’s car, leaving him determined to get her out of town. But Adalyn needs the team’s success to redeem herself, and she is determined to see the job through, whether Cam helps her or not. A good choice for readers who enjoy small-town romance, enemies-to-lovers tension, sports romance, forced proximity and plenty of humour.
