This was the perfect romance novel. It has everything you look for in a love story. Piper and Levi’s journey to love was a slow burn but I couldn’t put the book down. This book proves that being best friends first can lead to an awesome relationship. Thank you, Mary J Williams, for another awesome book!
Another great entry into the Seattle Knights series. Levi the second string quarterback finally gets his chance to show the world what he can do. The only person he really wants to show his skills to is Piper. This is a perfect friends to lovers story with a fairytale ending. Levi is swoony and Piper is smart and sassy.I am n love with this series.
Oh I just loved Levi and Pipers story. It’s a friends to lovers tale that’s cute and sweet and swoon worthy as well as hot and full of chemistry and passion! A wonderful read from start to finish and just couldn’t put it down!
Loved it!!!! Absolutely amazing!!!!
This was such a sweet story. I can’t think of one bad thing to say about it. Piper and Levi were adorably sweet and I even loved the bromance between Levi and Dylan. It was so nice to read a truly happy story when all around us things are sad and broken. It really helped raise my spirits and I just want to thank the author for writing it.
Sizzling hot! A perfect beach read for the summer! The Backup Plan is a fun addition to the One Pass Away series by author Mary J Williams. As with her other books, The Backup Plan can be read independently of the other books in the series, but after reading this one you will be anxious to add the others in the series to your collection.
I found the heat from this book to exceed other books I have read recently, and was thrilled it was written in a style that was exciting without being too explicit. Ms Williams has a talent in writing exciting story lines that draw you into the lives of her characters where you feel as if you are right there in the story with them.
I received an arc and the opinions and views are my own. As the saying goes Always a bridesmaid never a bride, so it is with Levi and Piper. Levi is never the starting quarterback until fate kicks in and Piper is never a bride! The two met at a wedding and became fast friends. I like the dialogue between the characters and I enjoyed Levi and Piper’s story and cannot wait for Dylan’s story. I would recommend this book.
I’m loving the, One Pass Away, a New Season, series. The Backup Plan is book 2 and was just wonderful. We met Levi and Piper as secondary characters in book 1. They come into their own in this next chapter.
Take an accountant who works with many high-level athletes, masters the double entendre when talking about her clients, and mix with the backup quarterback of the Seattle Knights football franchise. They’ve been friends for over 2 years. They’re content with their friendship, maybe.
When an accident changes the dynamics of the team, can Piper and Levi keep their friendship, or will the changes in the team make or break their relationship?
A great second chance story without the angst that some of these stories have. I read it in one sitting. It’s just that good.
This was a very cute quick read. I loved that Levi was so patient with Piper. It took him awhile but he finally got his chance and the girl.
Levi’s and Piper’s book “The Backup Plan” is beautifully written. I’m always guaranteed a great story from Mary J. Williams, her story’s never let me down, they are always warm and wonderful. I really love all her the male characters in her books are strong and kind, they are exactly the type of male I’d want to be with. I liked that the characters got together earlier in the book, making less conflict. Can’t wait until Dylan’s book.
The Backup Plan is a really nice romance. The characters are well developed and the story is excellent. Levi is the perpetual backup quarterback for the Seattle Knights and Piper is his girl buddy whom he has been in love with forever. One particular scene in the book brought tears to my eyes. You will know it when you get there. I figure that a story that can do that is a well written and wonderful read. I really really liked The Backup Plan.
Wow! I don’t know what to say. This book is everything you could want in a romance novel: sweet, romantic, passionate, with some twists and turns I didn’t expect, insta-chemistry and a slowly building suspense.
Levi and Piper are old acquaintances/ secondary characters from the first book of the series (The Devil Wears Blue Jeans). It is really great to get to know them better in this book.
After being the backup quarterback for a decade, Levi finally gets the chance to be starting quarterback for the Seattle Knights. The moment this happens, he decides that he’s done with putting it all on the back burner, and he takes his chance with his longtime buddy Piper …
Piper is tough, something she has to be after having experienced her parents’ catastrophic marriage and being the family’s unloved outsider ever since. Always standing up for herself, she is not used to the principle of letting someone else take care of her …
It is wonderful to “watch” how Piper and Levi’s relationship changes from friends to lovers.
This book is heartwarming on so many levels. I loved it so much and can’t wait to read Dylan’s story.
I loved Piper and Levi’s story. They start out as friends and really get to know each other. Love happens along the way, but neither is sure the other feels the same. Finally, Levi gets his big chance at football and decides to stop waiting on the sidelines in all aspects of life — including his relationship with Piper.
All of Mary J. Williams’ stories are top notch! Wonderful characters, settings, writing style, love and humor!!! She is my favorite modern romance writer.
