Review / Release Blitz: The Game by Vi Keeland

Title: The Game
Author: Vi Keeland
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Release Date: January 16, 2023

BLURB
It started out like any other Tuesday.

I spent twelve hours writing algorithms for one of the largest companies in the world and then came home to work on a pet project of mine—feeding facts about the men I knew into a formula to find my perfect match before my twenties came barreling to a close.

But then a man knocked on my door and handed me some papers that turned my life upside down.

Apparently, a father I never knew existed had left me something in his will. That something turned out to be part ownership in a professional football team.

Next thing I knew, I was learning a sport I knew nothing about by spending time with the team’s quarterback who was out with an injury, a man who my formula would definitely determine was all wrong for me.

Christian Knox was too handsome and confident for his own good and could have any woman he wanted. Only lately the only woman he seemed to want was me.

But there was no way I was getting involved when I was now his boss, even if he was insanely gorgeous and had the dirtiest mouth I’d ever come across.

It would be wrong, wouldn’t it?

Probably. But you know what they say about things that are wrong...sometimes they feel so right.

MY REVIEW


Bella is a smart af math genius who's inherited a pro football team from a father she didn't even know existed. Now she's in charge of a team that plays a sport she only knows through her research. She doesn't necessarily know faces, so it explains why her first meeting with the team's quarterback is...well the stuff of romcoms. No matter, though, because Christian has every intention of letting his new boss lady know what he thinks of her, even if he what he feels is off limits.


Christian's not used to women who act like his new boss. Not only is she smart and sweet, she's unintentionally funny, and she doesn't fawn all over him. In fact, she's dating someone and shows no interest in him outside of him being on her new team and possibly a platonic friendship. How can this quarterback make a TD with his boss, with a woman who doesn't seem to care that he's a superstar?

Bella is adorable. A new billionaire with a brain as big as her heart, who still lives in a tiny apartment, cares for her found family of a teen and his mom, and her new grandfather, who's just met a superstar athlete who is actually interested in her as a person, not that she's now rich and owns his football team. She could only be paired with someone her equal and Christian is equally lovable, at turns cocky and vulnerable, with as big a heart as the woman he loves. Their connection set my Kindle to smoking, and the way their emotional connection grew and developed is really why I keep reading romance, always looking for a couple like this whose relationship is not only strong and enduring, but develops organically and naturally. And I can't forget Grandpa, because he's awesome! Sports romances really do not get better than The Game. Vi has most definitely sprinted into the end zone with The Game and Bella, Christian, Grandpa, Wyatt and Christian's family.

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
