CANDACE: KAT & YASMINE! DO NOT DALLY! Come straight home after work. Kat, don’t take the long route from the subway station just so you can pass by Cute Hot Dog Guy. This is important!
I’ve had THE BEST DAY. You won’t believe it. There I was in my preschool classroom, washing a bit of poo out of some soggy trousers, when this absolute babe came to collect his nephew from my class.
Truthfully, I thought I’d blacked out for a moment when I first saw him. He was a proper hunk with glorious brown hair, quite tall, and he had these arms. Are muscly arms supposed to turn me on? I’m panting just thinking about them.
Anyway, he told me he’s a professional foosball player. At least, I think that’s what he said. The tots can get quite loud near pick-up time.
YASMINE: Foosball? What are you on about? Have you gone mad?
KAT: Oh sod off. So what if I like to have a good look at Hot Dog Guy’s arse on my trek home after a hard day’s work? It’s called self-care.
CANDACE: Kat, you’re hopeless. Yasmine, yes—foosball! I suppose it’s a big thing over here in the States? We must investigate and learn everything we can.
By the way, he’s called Logan.
Logan + Candace. I think that sounds quite nice! I can hear the wedding bells now. Dum dum da-dum.
YASMINE: Oh good grief. I suppose we can do some snooping when I get home. I’ll grab wine on my way.
KAT: I’ll grab hot dogs.
THE TROUBLE WITH QUARTERBACKS is a hilarious romance about unlikely love found between a British preschool teacher and the professional quarterback who sweeps her off her feet.

Review
4.5 stars!
Candace is a preschool teacher by day and a waitress by night trying to make ends meet and still send some money home to her parents in England. She has little time to date and no one has caught her eye…until she meets Logan, the uncle of one of her students, and everything changes.
This book is so much fun and it kept a smile on my face from the first page to the last. The story is a unique take on a sports star and opposites attract romance, and I really enjoyed it.
I loved that Candace was an English school teacher in New York City, and I enjoyed her accent and phrases. She’s funny, quirky, awkward, and endearing. I liked her immediately and could totally see myself being friends with her. I wanted her to get her happily ever after and I couldn’t have chosen a better person for her than Logan.
Logan is sweet, sexy, and has a great personality. He is a sports star but he is down to earth and doesn’t let his fame go to his head. He is used to being recognized and it is refreshing that Candace has no idea who he is. He is adorable as he tries to get to know her, and I loved that he is sincere with his feelings and shows Candace his romantic side. He just made me happy.
Logan and Candace are fantastic together. The banter is great and the chemistry is believable. It takes a little bit before they actually get together but when they do they really know how to turn up the heat.
The moment our lips touch, it’s like I’m uncorking a champagne bottle that’s been shaken until the contents are ready to explode.
It’s not all sexy times though. I loved the sweet moments and the fact that they really understand one another. I loved watching them fall for each other, flaws and all, and that they knew how to have a good time together. There are some ups and downs throughout the book but overall, it’s a lighthearted, feel good read that made me giddy. I loved Logan and Candace, and I loved their story!
I love you and it feels like too much sometimes. I love you to an extreme.
I have to add that I also loved the secondary characters. Candace’s relationships with Kat and Yasmine are wonderful and the three of them are hilarious together. I desperately want Kat’s story after getting a glimpse into her and Jay’s relationship, as well as Yasmine and Marcus’s story because I just want more from this group of fun friends. Another entertaining rom com from R.S. Grey!!
