The Romantic Pact: Kings of Football (Unabridged‪)‬

utstanding Story & Narration🎧 A Mesmerizing Delight!

I loved everything about this audiobook, from Meghan Quinn’s wonderful writing style to the fabulous characters and storylines she created to the perfectly casted narration performed by the mega talented Kelsey Navarro and Tim Paige. This story grabbed my attention right from the start and captivated it the entire book. The characters are likable, easy to relate to and connect with, I loved how much they grew by the end of the story. I also loved the natural flow to the story and the descriptive details that brought you in right along side the characters allowing you to see what they saw and feel what they felt, we’re given a glimpse of what they are thinking as well. I adored the two lead characters, Crew and Hannah, I have to give a shout out to Pops, Crew’s Grandfather, who masterminded their trip. Crew and Hannah met at Pops’ farm, they became good friends but they fell out of touch when Crew went to college and stopped replying to her emails. Pops did not give up on them and before his death he planned for these two to spend time together on a trip to Germany, a nostalgia trip, since that was where he spent time with his wife years ago. Crew was not only heartbroken when Pops died he was angry that he did not spend more time with him instead of focusing on football and making pro. Hazel did not have much growing up, her saving grace was Pops, he took her under his wing showed her the ropes and taught her everything she needed to know about running the farm and then some. Her life is in limbo right now not knowing what is going to happen to the farm now that Pops is gone. But she agreed to go on the trip he planned for her and her former best friend, Crew. Crew was surprised to see Hazel when she joined him on the plane, Hazel is a true sport about meeting him again, not going off on him asking why he stopped calling her. Clearly these two were made for each other, Crew was almost out of his funk before the plane took off. Their trip to Germany was magical, each stop brought them closer to Pops and each other. They had a great time not only rekindling their friendship but taking a step further and becoming lovers. But when the week was over it was back to reality, could they be a couple, he is on the west coast, still in college with hopes of going pro, she is in NY and wants to keep Pops’s farm going and his dream alive. And it is looking like her biggest fear, the farm going to developers may happen. I loved how everything played out in this book, the story is beautifully plotted with plenty of drama, some angst, humor, heartfelt and emotional moments and a wonderful friends to lovers romance. Meghan Quinn, thank you for this wonderful story, the emotional rollercoaster ride and the laughs.

🎧📚🎧And for the fabulous narration, Kelsey Navarro and Tim Paige did an awesome job portraying the characters, bringing them to life and humanizing them with their emotions and personality. I loved how they took each role and made it their own, Kelsey Navarro played the perfect Hazel and Tim Paige’s Crew was perfection too, sounding just as I pictured them to sound. Both were great covering the secondary characters as well. They are
entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another fantastic listen🎧
