The Way We Play by Tia Louise is now live!
How does one get to be a thirty-year-old virgin?
In my case, start with being risk-averse and cautious, focused on building your career, then inherit your 12-year-old, special-needs brother. Done!
Zane Bradford appeared at the perfect time.
He takes my brother to equine therapy, he gives me rides to work, and he rescues me when I collapse in the shower. (Yes, he saw me naked.)
He says he only breaks things, but I only see him fixing everything. Heck, his job is as a repair man.
This grumpy, angry god with lean muscles, silky dark hair, and ice blue eyes has taken himself out of the game.
But massage therapy is my job, and I'm ready to play.
Hello, I'm Zane Bradford, and I break things.
Starting with my little sister's dreams, followed by my football career.
Yes, I'm grumpy and distant; I'm following the script: No attachments; no one gets hurt.
Rachel Wells is ruining everything.
She walks into my workplace and argues with me, talks back, defends herself.
She gives me romance books to "improve my mood," and insists on massage therapy to ease my pain.
Chronic pain isn't my problem--she is, with her bright green eyes and sassy attitude.
Then she tells me she's never been kissed. (What's wrong with the men in Birmingham?)
The more she tempts me, the more I feel my resolve weakening.
She wants to play, but I'm not going to break.
(THE WAY WE PLAY is a small-town, grumpy-sunshine, sports romance with close proximity, enemies-to-lovers vibes, and a virgin FMC, and an over-protective alpha hero. No cheating. No cliffhanger. No third-act breakup.)

The Way We Play by Tia LouiseMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
In The Way We Play, Ms Louise takes us back to the Bradford family with Zane, the football dynasty's retired/injured kicker. He is paired with Rachel, the nurse for town matriarch Miss Gina.
The Bradford family is just pure fun. I love their dynamic, and even though this is the second installment of the series, it reads well as a stand-alone. Reading Dylan's story will help with understanding some of the baggage that Zane carries with him, but it's not necessary. (Dylan and Logan are worth reading though!)
As great as the secondary cast of Bradfords is, Zane and Rachel take centerstage and they are both easy to like. Zane takes everything to heart and is such a wonderful caretaker that I couldn't help but root for him to get out of his own way. Rachel is beyond generous with her time and spirit. She is a character that I would love to have as a friend. Seeing her invest in her younger brother's care just confirmed how nice she is.
To road to a potential happily ever after is never smooth, but I appreciated the fact that Ms Lousie didn't lean too heavily on the obvious issues that plague the early part of the story. Seeing Zane work with Rachel to resolve the conflict vs working against her was heartwarming.
We did get to know the community surrounding the Bradford family little better here. I am curious and excited to see which of the Brothers will get a story next!
