About This Audiobook

Field Goal isn’t just another sports romance—it’s a sharp, heartfelt dive into fatherhood, second chances, and the messy, beautiful chaos of starting over. Lisa Suzanne crafts a story that’s equal parts tender and tough, following Marcus, a widowed NFL coach suddenly navigating single parenthood while coaching a team of overconfident freshmen. When a fiery new physical therapist joins the staff, sparks fly—not just between them, but between Marcus and the unruly players he’s barely keeping in line. Suzanne balances the grit of locker-room politics with the quiet moments of Marcus’s private struggle, making this more than a love story; it’s a testament to how love can rewrite our future when we’re brave enough to let it.

The audiobook’s strength lies in its narration duo: Lance Greenfield’s gruff, measured delivery nails Marcus’s stoic vulnerability, while Callie Dalton’s bright, no-nonsense tone captures the warmth and wit of the female lead. Their chemistry isn’t just audible—it’s electric, pulling listeners into a world where football is the backdrop, but human connection is the real game. The production enhances the intimacy, especially in the quieter scenes, though some repetitive sports jargon might frustrate casual fans of the genre.

Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I’ll admit, I approached Field Goal with skepticism—another sports romance where the hero is a hunky athlete with a tragic backstory? But Suzanne’s writing and Greenfield’s narration sold me by the end of the first chapter. Greenfield’s voice is a masterclass in understatement; he makes Marcus’s grief and determination feel raw without ever resorting to melodrama. Dalton, meanwhile, balances humor and heart, especially in scenes where her character challenges Marcus’s stubbornness. Their interplay feels authentic, like two people who’ve known each other far longer than their on-page history suggests. That said, the story stumbles slightly in its middle act, where the plot relies a bit too heavily on contrived team conflicts and melodramatic training montages. The resolution, while satisfying, wraps up a little too neatly, as if the messy edges of real life were ironed out for convenience. Still, the production is polished, with just enough ambient sound—crowd noise, locker-room chatter—to immerse you without drowning out the dialogue. If you crave a romance that’s as much about found family as it is about passion, this is your play. Just don’t expect a deep dive into the X’s and O’s—this is a love story first, a sports story second.
