He can’t help claiming her. But can he love her?MaxThe ladies have always liked me, and I’ve always returned the favor. Now Abby’s messing with my head. And, if I’m honest, my heart.I didn’t even recognize her at first―the girl I grew up with. She used to be one of the guys, but now she’s a stubborn, redheaded bombshell.I don’t want to hurt her but I’m damned if I’ll let anyone else touch her.… hurt her but I’m damned if I’ll let anyone else touch her.
She’s mine. Even if I can’t bring myself to tell her that.
Abby
I can’t believe fate brought Max back into my life. He’s the only jock who was ever nice to me, and I hid my feelings so I could be his friend and hang around him.
I don’t think I can hide anymore.
But Max hasn’t changed―women want him and he wants them right back. I don’t have a shot at being anything but another notch on his bedpost.
I can’t be near him without craving his touch. If I dance too close to his beautiful flame, I know I’ll get burned.
But maybe―just maybe―the heartache will be worth it.
Stadium of Lights is a very steamy standalone, full-length football sports romance novel. It’s only recommended for audiences 18+. No cheating. No cliffhangers. Guaranteed HEA.

After reading Tia’s debut book, Draw Play, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this one! I love a sports romance, but I love them even more when they involve second chances.
Max is the cocky QB of a football team in NFL. Sleeping with new women every night isn’t a big deal- no commitments and he still has his life free to do what he pleases. What he wasn’t prepared for was an old childhood friend joining the teams PT department or the feelings she would cause in him.
Abby was never one of the pretty popular girls. After moving to Europe with her dad, who was in the military, she was able to meet some females who helped create her new image. Accepting a job with a NFL team on the states, she had no idea it would lead to her long time friend who she has loved forever.
Max and Abby’s story was about friends to lovers, second chances and happily ever afters. I loved their story and how they came to be a couple. I didn’t see a few of the situations coming, but that aspect bad the book even better.
Abby Morrison spent most of her youth in love with a boy who didn’t seem to notice she was alive, that was unless he needed to vent about his latest failed relationship or things not going well on the field… and it hurt like hell to be used by him, but she always allowed it to happen. She has long since moved on from the heartbreak caused by the star quarterback, and found true happiness working in the physical therapy field for a European rugby team. Everything in her life is going perfectly until she gets a call from her hometown NFL team and they want to offer her a job on the team, she is thrilled about returning home, but her excitement is short lived when she walks onto the field and finds her past staring back at her! And he has no idea who she is… it’s like history repeating itself all over again!!
Max Anderson goes from ogling the cheerleaders as they practice to being somewhat hypnotized by the teams beautiful new physical therapist, and the instant he sees her there is some kind of familiarity there, but he just can’t seem to place her. She of course recognizes him, and begins to shock him with her vast knowledge of his childhood and teen years, to the point he briefly wonders if she has been stalking him, but then a memory of a certain redhead always shadowing him pops into his head and the memories of them together assail him. Only she doesn’t look anything like the awkward teenage girl he use to confess his problems to, oh no, now she is hot as hell, and a distraction he isn’t so sure he wants or needs right now… but he just can’t seem to walk away from her no matter how hard he tries!
This enchanting little tale had me hooked from the synopsis, football infused romance stories are my absolute favorite to devour, and I have to say that this one definitely held it’s own against my long list of favorites!! It had it all… a sexy quarterback you can’t help but fall for, and an feisty heroine who means business and has no qualms about letting him know just what she wants, and knows exactly how to get it… these two were a pure magic!! They had me laughing one moment, reaching for the Kleenex or a fan the next, and flying through the pages as fast as I could devour them… Loved every moment I spent with them!! This is my first time reading something from this author and I have to say she completely won me over with this story, and I look forward to reading more of her sexy little stories in the very near future!! Highly recommend this one, it’s sure to satisfy!!
