💭Super adorable with feel good vibes. I love a good sports romance, especially when they grew up together and now are into each other as adults. It’s a trope I adore. I would rather read that trope than just random strangers. This book also had the fake relationship and the struggling college student with the rich boyfriend. TBH, there are a lot of tropes in this book. The plot isn’t really complex, and the relationship is very back and forth. Even with those two things, the book was able to keep me drawn in and emotionally invested in the story. The book does get quite spicy once the spice happens later on in the book. Until then, there’s just a lot of spicy tension. I thought the narrators did a good job. Teddy Hamilton is my favorite male narrator. Even though the book isn’t a duet, it is still a dual narration, which is great.
💬This is a cute contemporary romance. The romance in this book is a fake relationship. The book is quite spicy with numerous open door spicy scenes. August and Penelope grew up together. August needs to get his PR back on track and proposes a fake engagement to Penelope. Little does August know it isn’t as fake as he expected.

If you're a fan of sports-themed romances, "Only On Gameday" by Kristen Callihan offers a compelling blend of familiar tropes that come together to create a story that's both entertaining and emotionally engaging. The fake engagement plotline is a classic romantic device, but what sets this story apart is the depth of the characters and their history—they grew up together, which adds layers of friendship, trust, and nostalgia to their evolving relationship. The audiobook format adds an extra layer of enjoyment, with dual narration enhancing the perspectives of both protagonists. Teddy Hamilton stands out as a favorite male narrator, delivering a performance that brings authenticity and charm to August’s character. The female narration complements this perfectly, making the slow burn and build-up of romantic tension feel natural and immersive. In addition to the romance, the sports backdrop provides a dynamic setting that appeals to lovers of both romance and sports drama. August's struggle to get his PR career back on track introduces stakes beyond the romantic plot, grounding the story in real-life challenges. The spicy scenes, thoughtfully paced, add excitement without overwhelming the storyline. The gradual build-up of emotional and physical tension keeps listeners engaged throughout, making "Only On Gameday" a satisfying listen for those who appreciate multifaceted contemporary romances with substance. Overall, this book is a fantastic choice for anyone looking for a feel-good, spicy romance with relatable characters and a heartwarming connection that comes from a lifetime of friendship. It’s especially suited for audiobook listeners who enjoy well-executed dual narration and authentic character voices.
