Pro football might see me as their favorite underdog, but Madison Westfield would rather see me six feet under.
My ex-best friend’s little sister has every reason to hate me. I took her boyfriend’s spot on this team, her brother might lose his too, and our short-lived engagement years ago is part of the reason our families are locked in a grudge match that has the whole league on edge.
Ruining me would fix most of her problems, but she's stuck trying to work a PR miracle with my career instead.
Making my way through her build-a-better-image checklist is the kind of torture I'll gladly sign up for, especially if I get to help her prove everyone wrong.
But it means we're spending a lot of time alone together, and when it comes to Madison, I'll take any chance she gives me. Even if it means there's hell to pay—on and off the field.

I don't know why I've held out for so long to read this book from my TBR but it exceeded expectations. You are guaranteed loveable main characters, an interesting and well paced storyline, and supporting characters (that will have you chomping at the bit for their story too). There's great spice, a little laughter and a lot of emotions through each of Maggie Rawdon's books. Definitely read the novella prequel first but dive into Rival Hearts as soon as possible! (On second thought, if you haven't already, scroll yourself all the way back and start reading with Play Fake so you know all the favorite players who pop up here and there).

Jumping through Hoops

new state and a new team, Chaos. His Uncle, the team coach, worked a deal and it looks like his ex-fiance may be the one to help him and he will jump through any hoops to get another chance with her.

Madison Westfield is in a fake relationship with her friend from college and she's also accepted a PR position with Chaos, her brothers football team.

Her first job will be with her ex-fiance, Quentin, who ghosted her 10 years ago. She makes a list that will ensure he will be jumping through a lot of hoops. A little payback never hurt anyone.

Quentin doesn't care that she has a boyfriend, he wants to spend all his time with her and makes it known right from the start that he wants her back.

Madison builds walls to protect herself and Quentin has never stopped loving her. He needs to confide in her his reason for leaving years ago and she intends to leave for her dream job when the season is over.

With things coming to light on and off the field Quentin will let her go if he must but what will her decision be when her dream job opportunity comes earlier than expected?

This Deserves More Than 5 Stars ♾️⭐️

Everything about this book is perfection. I couldn’t wait to read this after I read the prequel story. Not only was the prequel amazing, but it had me begging for so much more. And let me tell you, this story gave you that and soooo much more!!!

Quentin! Yup, only that one word needs to be said. Do not get me wrong the female character, Madison is incredible. But Quentin Undergrove made the story. He pours his heart, soul and everything into this book, he had me turning the pages so fast, I could not get enough.

This book has something for everyone. It is a football romance. It is teenage friends to lovers to enemies to lovers. The angst and hate at first was soooo entertaining. Madison’s family hates Quentin abd yet he is her new Public Relations client that she doesn’t know if she wants to punish, hate or love him. She might have done all three and it was amazing!!!

This book deserves infinity stars. It just bumped up to a top read for me. I loved this soooo much. Quentin and Madness as he calls her are soooo cute and complicated but also soooo swoony. Read this, you absolutely will fall head over heels in love with them.

Vibes:
This author is a QUEEN! These characters are PERFECT. It’s truly a fantastic continuation of all the goodness from Before the Chaos! Quentin has the bad boy exterior but is a complete obsessed when it comes to HIS Madness. Mads has grown up so much, is a little jaded, but is so fierce in her job and for her loved ones. I cannot gush enough about the chemistry and spice between these MCs - so yummy. Every single thoughtful gesture and heart felt confession had me swooning. As usual, our side characters bring the whole story up to another level. I love all the cameos! My only ask - I need to see justice for the villain - like a full fledged take down. I’m still boiling about all of it. But also, I’m so very much here for the Bea and Cooper’s story next!

To get the full effect of how Madison and Quentin got here, you should read Before the Chaos, the prequel novella. In the novella, we can read about how their connection formed, what happens when they give into the temptation, and what happens when hearts shatter.

This book had my heart all over the place. It’s hard not to feel for Quentin in this book. The way he grew up, the way he was passed along my family members, and the way he is still treated by some people has me wanting to fight for him. He is a genuinely good person who, like a lot of us, made mistakes that changed his life. He made some poor decisions, and that was before he even got to know Madison. His biggest mistake was letting Madison go and letting people have space in his head who had no place being there. It took him ten long years to be in the right place to win Madison back and the opportunity fell into his lap when he got transferred to play quarterback for the same city she was in.

Madison never truly got over Quentin in the ten years they were apart. The minute they run into each other in their new city, is the minute their lives change again, this time, for the better. Madison fights the good fight and tries to tell herself that Quentin is not her person. When he says the right things, makes her feel like the most beautiful person in the world and knows how to work her body into pure bliss, she knows there will never be another person like Quentin.

These two had a blazing connection and such a magnetic pull toward each other. Quentin has always known Madison was his person, but it took her a while to get there. This book put me through a roller coaster of emotions (including the prequel), but I could not put this book down! Five amazing stars!

better than I even expected

I had high hopes for this coming off the back of the Xander/Colton/Tobias series and boy does this beat it all.

I wasn’t sure if I would get over Madison being in love with Xander but this story untangles so much of the history (helped if you read the prequel but it’s not required reading!) as well as being the most swooniest of romances.

Family drama brings the tears but this book is all about the big (and little) gestures that help knit together the frayed edges of Quinten and Madisons relationship.

Appearances by all the favourites which round out this fabulous read.

Now, not to be too demanding but I now need Coopers story as well a 2 certain NHL players and a lady who is dangerous with a sword….

My favorite Maggie Rawdon book yet.

I'm not usually the good boy type of reader, but Quentin was the perfect hero and Madison too.
The prequel novella was exactly the history needed for the book and it all was hot in the best way possible.

I’m so glad I read before the chaos before reading this book as it gave so much more context to the story. The story of Madison and Quentin was so good I didn’t want it to end. It has all the tropes we love - forced proximity, second chance, secret relationship, boy obsessed not to mention sports romance. I also loved seeing previous characters from the Seattle Phantom series.

4.5☆ Quentin and Madie

Reviewed in Australia on March 2, 2024

Maggie has quickly become one of my one-click authors for sports romance reads. She never fails to disappoint with any of her books. I loved Quentin he was everything you want in a second chance romance, and he'd never moved on from his obsession, that was Madison. He may have made the wrong choice the first time around, but he'd never make it again.
I did read the prequel novella, but personally, the insta love in it turned me off a bit, not my fav trope. I don't think it's a necessity to read this story. In my opinion. Can't wait for Bea's story next ♡

Ten years after he left her in pieces, Quentin returns to her life. He's still as handsome as ever and could break her all over again. This time around, she's his PR rep trying to get his off the rails career back on track. Quentin never stopped loving Madison, and she was the reason her took the transfer to his new club. He may have let her go once, but he'll do anything to win her back and get a second chance. Madison tries to fight the pull, but in reality, every man after has been cheap knock off of the man who stole her heart all those years ago. But when the real reasons surface as to why he disappeared, it'll turn Madison on the path of revenge against a man who's always tried controlling her. She won't let her father rip them apart a second time even if it means severing their relationship forever.
She'll turn her back on everyone just to have her true forever by her side.

Before I jumped into this review, I just want to mention the prequel novella ‘ Before the Chaos’. This is a great intro into their story because it explains the history that torn them apart and why Quentin is on the outs with the entire Westfield family.

“ This woman’s going to be mine again, whatever it takes. “

It’s been 10 years since Madison since she saw her ex fiancé, who broke her heart. Now he has been traded to play football on her brother’s team and she has to work with him.

“ I don’t like the idea of moving on from Madison. “

Quentin has spent that time regretting his actions and getting himself in a better standing so that when he gets back his ‘Madness’ no one and nothing can separate them again.

“I’m right here. Always, Madness. To take care of you however you need. “

Madison and Quentin were everything. Their story took me on such an emotional journey because you can literally feel their desire and longing. She tries out to let him affect her but his determination is hard to avoid.

“I like your filthy hands. And your filthy mouth. And just really everything.”

The things this man does for her, the reasoning behind them and his sneaky methods had me swooning all over the place. He could also go from a sweet man to a filthy dirty mouthed with the moves to back it up.

While their story wasn’t an easy one, it’s definitely my favourite second chance I’ve ever read.
