Contemporary sports romance author Britney Bell brings you a fun, light-hearted, short story with a smokin’ hot Texas Tornados football player.
Zane
No matter how many years I play professional football with the Texas Tornados, the city life doesn’t change my heart. I will always be that Texas guy who’s learned the value of getting my hands dirty with hard work on the farm, and I’m finally … work on the farm, and I’m finally able to bring a piece of the farm to the city. Some people may look at this old truck as a piece of junk, but for me, it’s the memories that are embedded in each dent, scratch and chip to its paint.
Lily
It’s a good thing that the family business is my passion. The hours I put in at work do not allow for much of a social life. With the responsibility of the business currently being solely on my shoulders, there’s no room to even think about dating.
See what happens with two busy people, one old truck and a highway of endless possibilities.

Texas Tornados 0.5
How fun to read a book by a new-to-me author that provided the perfect story for me today. It was a short, sizzling, almost instant falling in love that occurred between Zane and Lily and yet…it felt oh so right! Zane is a talented professional football player but not a “player” off the field…at least he doesn’t seem to be. AND, when he finds the woman that is right for him, he knows it. Lily is a skilled body co-owner of a body shop and is hired to work on Zane’s truck.
With a great meet-cute, two admirable main characters, great chemistry, a bad guy to thwart, family memories to share and just enough heat this was delightful! I would definitely be willing to read more by this author and know that Zane and Lily will have a great life together as they drive down the road in the refurbished Ford family truck.
Thank you to the author and StoryOrigin for the copy to read – this is my honest review.

Another awesome read by this author. I loved this short story with Zane & Lily.
This story packs quite a lot of emotion, drama, and steam into such a short book which is awesome. The only thing I didn’t like is that this story was so short and I need more Zane and Lily!
Zane has an old truck that belonged to his Dad that means so much too him but it needs a lot of work.
Lily, along with her brother runs and owns her Dad’s old body shop.
*4 stars*
This was a short novella story that after finishing it you just can’t help to want more. A lot happened and wished it was a bit longer but then again novella stories are always too short!
Taking over the business from her dad and being now more left alone in the store due to circumstances, Lily has a lot going on and when she and Zane first meet, sparks fly. They have an instant connection that just slowly grows much deeper although they haven’t known each other that long.
Will they get a happy ending?…
Great short read. Loved the characters! Wish it had been longer.
This is the second book of the Texas Tornados series. Zane is professional football player who is looking for someone to fix his old “piece of junk” truck that has sentimental value for him. Lily is the gorgeous mechanic who will help Zane fix his truck.
This is friends to lovers short read, filled with funny moments, lots of sparks and steam.
I voluntarily reviewed this book after receiving a free ARC.
A quick read for Zane and Lily’s story. A great instalove story. A great addition to this series.
Really enjoyed this short but oh so sweet novella. Zane and Lily’s have an instant attraction and was so much fun to read.
Outside Blitz is Zane and Lily story. It might be short story but it tells love at first from their generation and his parents generation. You can’t help but falling in love with them.
4.5 Stars
I liked this story so much more than the first one in the series. It is a really good, quick story. Loved Zane and Lily.
Wow. What a great story in the Texas Tornados. It is well written, steamy and sweet. I just love this series.
Texas Tornados Book 2
Zane is a defensive end for the Texas Tornados pro football team. His parents are selling the farm he grew up on and have an old truck that he still wants. So he has the truck taken to a body shop to have it restored. Enter Lily, who owns this body shop with her brother and agrees to do the work on the truck.
Over the weeks that it’s there she and Zane get closer and the attraction grows. There’s a history to the truck, one they hope will continue.
My only complaint is I wish it was a longer book with more of their story.
4 stars
Zane and Lily’s story was a short and sweet sports read. Zane has no time for anything other than football – except his family. Bringing a piece of his home back to Dallas, he looks to restore his old family truck. Lily is focused on making her auto shop a success and has no time for men. A chance encounter and shared love for trucks and this story is off with a bang. Another great albeit short story by Ms. Bell. I do wish it were longer as I loved these characters.
Short, sweet & hot!
I thought this book was very good from the beginning to the very end.
I thought the story line was fantastic from beginning to the end.
The characters were great and worked in the story in my mind.
I got this book for free with an honest review freely given.
I loved this novella that is a quick romance story. A female mechanic (you go girl!) and a football player fall in love while restoring his old truck. It was so cute and a perfect quick read to make your day a little brighter!
I absolutely adored this short novella about Zane and Lily. I was hooked from the beginning. I loved their connection and instant attraction. A sweet, fun and perfect read.
I am so happy to get more of the Texas Tornadoes! I love these novella’s.
Britney Bell writes some of the best novellas that get right to the point and suck in you within minutes. She did no wrong with Lily and Zane. I just loved them. I loved that Lily worked on cars, you don’t see that too often in books.
If you are looking for a fast, sweet and lovely read, than look no further than Britney Bell! All her books are just amazing!!

recommendation
Short and fabulous, love the story between Zane an Lily, the chemistry between them is tangible and I wish that I can see more of them, reading this one was worth my time, hope you enjoy it too.
I loved my first Britney Bell book, a short and sugary sweet introduction to the Texas Tornadoes. I loved both Zane and Lily, though their story was pretty limited so we don’t get much info on them, they were both fun, strong characters and I’m looking forward to the next book.
I zoomed through this novella! Although it was short it covered all the bases with a sweet and sexy football player, a feisty and cute girl next door type and the nostalgia from an old family truck that has stories that brings tears to your eyes. It’s just one of those stories that makes you do a little happy dance.
