Playing For You: A Wearside Story Prequel (The Wearside Novellas Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Ellie White (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
A Wearside Story Prequel Novella

Natasha Borthwick is Wearside FC’s Number One, but after an embarrassing string of losses, she’s not so sure she deserves that title anymore.

Luke Ramshaw is the hottest developer in the gaming industry but as his deadline to complete his funding application fast approaches, he still has no game demo to present.

The pair are thrown together by a meddling mutual connection in a last-ditch attempt to save both Natasha’s team and Luke’s career. The problem? They didn’t exactly get off to a great start, but what happens when they get closer is a whole other ball game.

Previously published in 2023 in Anthology Twisted Tropes by AWE Press.

    Love the female athlete in this.

    Natasha was the goalie for a womans Football (soccer) team. She loved her job, but sometimes her parents got into her head. She was disappointment to them. When she didn't do great, all their words of her just having a hobby come flooding into her mind

    Luke was a gamer. He loved developing games. His next game was based on his mom and the team she loved, before she passed. Luke has always been a protector of everything/everyone. When he comes face to face with Natasha he wants to just wrap her up and never let her go.

    Can they get past all their baggage and be together or are they doomed because of the past.

    Great read.

    Another really cute love story by Ellie White. I really enjoy these quick reads that still packs a punch and doesn’t feel like the entire story was a rush to the end.

    Natasha is her football teams number one player but the team has suffered a string of losses and Natasha is starting to worry that her parents were right in saying that football was a waste of her time.

    Luke is a developer in the gaming industry and he needs a demo to present soon.

    Natasha and Luke end up an next door neighbours when Luke house sits for his sister and it is definitely not love at first sight for these two. But the more they get to know each other the clearer it becomes that they are exactly what the other persons needs most.

    A great read!

    This was a very cute love story. It's a fast read, and i can't wait to read the next novella. Luke is the sweetest, and the way he loves Nat is amazing. I love how well put 2gether this novella was it doesn't feel rushed and it's so good.

    5.0 out of 5 stars What a beautiful game-Love!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 12, 2024
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Natalie is a goalkeeper in a wearside football team, but her parents think she should get a "proper job" and join the family law firm. Nothing could be further away from what she wants. After a dismal first half of the season, who could predict that a plant sitting neighbourhood, with his own football past could change the outcome of the season? Luke loved and hates the game for his own personal reasons but he's playing his own game, one that he's created himself.
    Follow the unlikely pair's season through to the final love match and feel the ups and downs of the beautiful game, both of love and football.
