Is the Dragons’ new wide receiver: A) a fallen NFL star looking for a comeback, B) the sexy player your boss wants you to write an exposé on, or C) the former love of your life? For Milwaukee Dragons beat reporter Natalie Griffith, he’s clearly D) all of the above. Three years ago, Natalie’s bombshell report on her ex-boyfriend’s off-the-field scandals landed her the job she loves, but she … the job she loves, but she still feels guilty about destroying his career. Now Quinn Lowry’s back, and he’s taking over her locker room, flashing his charming smile and reminding her exactly how hot they were together.
After two years out of the league, Quinn is sober and on the field again. He’s worked his ass off and he’s not going to blow his second chance, not even for the woman who broke his heart—twice. Having Natalie around is the last thing Quinn needs while he’s trying to prove he deserves to stay on the team.
Maybe one final night together will give them both some much-needed closure. But with Natalie’s boss pressuring her for another headline-grabbing scoop, can she admit to herself that she’s falling for Quinn all over again?

This book was really good! Natalie and Quinn had a lot to work through as they restarted their friendship and relationship, but their story was written wonderfully. My favorite parts were when as the story flipped POV you could see the characters feeling the same things but believing the other didn’t. It really shows how we should share our feelings when we are scared since you never know what the other person might be feeling.
4 1/2 stars. I really love this story and the relationship between Natalie and Quinn. This is a second chance for them and while it is definitely not easy because of what happened between them in the past, it certainly seems a natural progression for them to fall back into a relationship again. I was rooting for them so hard!! Of course they do not acknowledge that it’s an actual relationship for quite a while, but it is fun to see what the other is thinking and feeling when they are not together. That’s one of the things I love about this story; they both have feelings for each other that they dance around for quite some time because of their past. The sexual tension and chemistry is off the charts and makes for some great interactions between Quinn and Natalie. I really enjoyed this book.
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC.
From the very first chapter, I knew this book was going to be a fun read. I was not disappointed. Quinn and Natalie are characters well fleshed out and you get invested in them very quickly. You can’t help but to love them more when get to know their back story. Watch these two try to figure out how to (re)ignite fire between them. Beware that the pages in this book might combust when you read them! I don’t typically care for the third-person pov writing format, but this one moved and flowed exceptionally well and was more seamless than other author’s style. The story moved along very well, and there weren’t any unnecessary droning descriptions of people, places or things that made me want to skim and move on. It had the right amount of fun, right amount of drama, right amount of steam, and it never hurts to have a happy ending.
Quinn Lowry has spent the last two years getting his life back on track, and regaining his focus on whats important to him… his football career. He once had everything he could want out of life, but his addictions got in the way and not only cost him his career, but also the woman who once owned his heart. Now after lots of hard work and dedication he is back on the turf and ready to get back to playing. But that also means facing the one woman wrecking crew who derailed his perfect life two years ago, his ex, beat reporter Natalie Griffith.
Home Field Advantage pulled me in almost instantly and had me flying through pages to see if if these two would be able to find common ground after such a heartbreaking separation. It was a well crafted story brimming with hope, healing, passion, and heart squeezing emotion that had the tears welling a couple of times. These two had a lot of healing and making amends to do, but underneath all that hurt there was also a deep seated attraction that neither could deny. One that kept drawing them in, and forcing them to face the fact that they belonged together. This was such a wonderful addition to the series, the words were addictive, and the characters were hard not to love! Highly recommend!
I requested an advanced copy of this title from NetGalley, and I am voluntarily leaving my honest opinion.
I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley for my honest review. Quinn Lowry and Natalie Griffith were college sweethearts. Before graduation, and Quinn’s draft in the NFL, Natalie left in the middle of the night and broke up with him via email. Five years later, Natalie is the Sports reporter who wrote an expose about Quinn’s off the field problems that halted his career. Quinn is now two years sober and trying to resurrect his career with the Milwaukee Dragons. Of course Natalie is a reporter that is covering them, and is shadowing his roommate. This is a classic enemies to lovers/second chance sports romance. I really liked Quinn and his realistic struggles with his sobriety. Natalie did drive me a bit crazy, her occupation is all about communication, but she had problems with communicating in her personal life. Overall, this was an enjoyable read and I would definitely recommend this series.
