Marlee thought she scored the man of her dreams only to be scorched by a bad breakup. But there’s a new player on the horizon, and he’s in a league of his own…
Marlee Harper is the perfect girlfriend. She’s definitely had enough practice by dating her NFL-star boyfriend for the last ten years. But when she discovers he has been tackling other women on the sly, she vows to never date an athlete again. There’s just one problem: Gavin Pope, the new hotshot quarterback and a fling from the past, has Marlee in his sights.
Gavin fights to show Marlee he’s nothing like her ex. Unfortunately, not everyone is ready to let her escape her past. The team’s wives, who never led the welcome wagon, are not happy with Marlee’s return. They have only one thing on their minds: taking her down. But when the gossip makes Marlee public enemy number one, she worries about more than just her reputation.
Between their own fumbles and the wicked wives, it will take a Hail Mary for Marlee and Gavin’s relationship to survive the season.

I’m just going to make this review short and sweet. Intercepted is the debut novel from author Alexa Martin and I gotta tell you, when I first heard about this book, I couldn’t get over all the buzz over it. I knew I had to take a look at it. I had to read the synopsis. I had to get my hands on this book. And for me, this book was totally worth the wait. It is a great debut novel. The story was fun and engaging. I found it to be refreshing and loved this author’s take on a sports romance. I loved that it wasn’t your typical sports romance, but that it gave you a more behind the scenes look at things.
Intercepted is a fast paced read with terrific flow. The characters hooked me right away and kept me on my toes. From laughs to drama to romance and great chemistry, this book had it all. Intercepted is a great read to spend the day getting lost in. It’s fun. It’s easy. And it will leave you with a smile on your face. For me, Intercepted was worth all the hype and has me really excited to see what fun stories this author has in store for us next.
I am not a big fan of sports romances. I am not sure why. However, this is one of few that I read recently that I really enjoyed. I am finding that my tastes are changing, yet again, in regards to what I find entertaining. This author is definitely on my list of authors to keep reading in the future.
I loved these characters. They were written and developed so well. They aren’t perfect, but that is what makes them so likable. I couldn’t get enough of Marlee, Gavin, and their band of secondary characters.
I was sucked into this one from the very beginning. I read this book in no time. I am not sure I put it down once I started it. I started it, then I finished it. I love books like that. The plot flowed and kept my rapt attention. I was entertained and amused all of the way through.
If you are looking for a fun, easy, and entertaining book. This is definitely a book for you. All of you happily ever after lovers, you definitely want to read this one.
