Publisher Description
Author Robyn M. Ryan delivers a light and fresh sports romance where a fake relationship fails into a happily ever after.
When Tampa Suns star David Martin welcomes his younger sister to Tampa to attend grad school, he doesn’t know she left behind a messy breakup with a manipulative ex. Relieved to be thousands of miles away, Kim seeks to find herself again by completing a challenging one-year degree program. And swearing off relationships.
Haunted by making the final out in college baseball’s National Championship, captain Chatham “Spence” Spencer commits to another season, bypassing the MLB draft. The charismatic All-American shortstop vows to lead the team to a second chance at the national title—and take the extra classes needed to graduate. He has no time for extracurricular activities despite the attention of the many who hope to score a date with the popular athlete.
But when Kim literally trips over Spence at a game, they both experience an attraction they’ve never felt before. They agree to stay just friends - without benefits. But when Kim’s ex shows up, and Spence steps forward to declare that they’re in a relationship, lines start to blur.
When ambitions collide with matters of the heart, Spence and Kim must determine what it truly means to win. Can either deliver a winning play that ensures the other’s success, even if it means sacrificing personal happiness?
WINNING PLAY includes a protective older brother (who happens to be an NHL Hockey Player), a manipulative ex, and a fake relationship that fails into a happily ever after.
The perfect read for fans of light and fresh sports romances.

Romance and hockey…and baseball! It doesn’t get better than that!
Another fantastic sports book in the “world” of the Tampa Suns professional hockey team created by Robyn M. Ryan, but with a little deviation into baseball. And I am here for it! I’ve read every one of her books, and they just keep getting better. The “Tampa Suns world” feels like family now, but I definitely enjoyed the baseball twist.
I don’t know that I can improve upon the blurb that the author provided, but I can say is a fun and sweet love story. Kim moves to Tampa from Canada to continue her education and to get away from her controlling and abusive ex-bf, and literally stumbles into the greatest “meet-cute” ever…with lots of popcorn.
Fate must be bringing Kim and Spence together, because they just keep rolling mining into each other and become fast friends. The attraction is there from the beginning, but they each have other priorities above dating…at least for a while.
The storyline in this book is wonderful. Realistic and lighthearted for the most part. Supportive friends and family (but with the one troublemaking family member), sports, a fake relationship that progresses into a friends to lovers trope. It’s just all-around great. Not too steamy, but plenty of “feels” and emotional scenes, and lots of love.
I just couldn’t put it down. Read the whole thing within 12 hours of receiving it…and that included sleeping a full night. I’m always excited to read Robyn’s books because they never disappoint. Can’t wait for the next one! But I’ll read this one again while I’m waiting.
