  HARD LINES Austin Falcons - Book One by Kelly Fox Release Date: November 11, 2026 Review I love rugby romances! I need more rugby romances! These two are adorable.  Especially Lala.  That man is chaos and fun. So much passion and love. And Bear.  A stand-up guy, a true leader. With one problem.  His father. The controlling, unloving man is a really terrible father and terrible leader. I love how these two come together to really support each other and make each other's dreams come true. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Lala Robichaud was a tiny menace. An irritatingly attractive menace with zero survival instincts on the rugby pitch. It made me want to throw him over my shoulder and drag him to bed every chance I got. A one-night stand should scratch the itch. I hope. All I'd ever wanted was to see our scrappy rugby league succeed. But it was hanging on by its fingernails, and my father was convinced my coming out would kill it dead. I didn't have ...

  WINNING SEASON Lancaster Legends - Book One by Felice Stevens Release Date: November 10, 2026 Review An emotional story with some beautiful growth and care. Xavier is BITTER.  I mean it, bitter all caps!  And he’s taken that bitterness to the level of an anonymous podcast troll - taking down sports people one barb at a time.
