The Winner Takes All Complete Collection
Five sexy, passionate, MM sports romances in one collection for the first time! Indulge in the Winner Takes All Collection from #1 New York Times Bestselling author Lauren Blakely writing MM romance as L. Blakely…
The Boyfriend Comeback…
Some men are just off-limits. Like, say, all the other football players in the league….
I have to stop replaying the one night I spent with my rival. Trouble is, that white-hot encounter with the other quarterback answered a lot of questions I’ve had about myself, but it also led me into this mess where he hates me…
includes the prequel The Boyfriend Kickoff
Turn Me On…
The first rule of being an attorney is don’t sleep with your clients.
The second rule is–see the first rule.
Those guidelines don’t account for a man like Zane Archer though…
includes the short stories Turn Me On & Try Me
A Very Filthy Game…
When the British billionaire wants to teach the cocky athlete a brand new kind of game…
Lately, I’ve been full of questions. One hot summer night, I find all the answers when I kiss another guy for the first time. But he disappears, leaving me wondering who my mystery man was.
Limited Edition Husband…
One night with no strings was supposed to be the plan.
I stick to that strategy when I bump into a charming Brit I met once before. He’s newly out and eager for all the things he’s never done, so I make the helpful suggestion we jet off to the city of sin for the night, then say goodbye.
But instead, thanks to a bet and some bourbon, we’re saying I do…
Manhandled…
I didn’t plan to bid big on a date with my baseball player best friend at the auction. But he looked really good in that tailored suit, and I can't resist a dare.
The media jumps all over the story – the city’s new quarterback nabs a date with the bigshot star shortstop.

If you are looking for silly smutty tropey gay romance, you can’t go wrong with L Blakely

This was such an enjoyable run of MM sports romances! Five couples, plenty of heat and emotional moments, and enough variation in the stories to keep things from becoming just a parade of sexy athletes falling in love.
And the variety is what I liked most. We've got rivals, forbidden attraction, friends-to-lovers, unexpected marriages, first times, and plenty of push and pull along the way. Some couples definitely stood out more than others, but I enjoyed getting to know all of them. Beck and Jason were ridiculously adorable, while Maddox and Zane had that extra something that made their relationship particularly memorable. Nate and Hunter were another favorite, with their own brand of adorable chaos. Not every couple hit quite the same way for me, and a couple of the MCs were a little too similar for my liking, but overall, there was a lot to enjoy.
I also appreciated that the stories weren't just about the physical attraction. There's plenty of spice, obviously, but there's also vulnerability, figuring out what you want, taking chances, and learning to let someone in. That emotional progression was a big part of what made these romances work for me.
And the extras! Having the prequels, prologues, and bonus stories all together makes this a really fun reading experience. Even the little bonus fantasy scene was a definite highlight. It's nice getting those additional glimpses of the couples beyond their main stories.
The audiobook experience was another big plus. There are some fantastic narrators here, including several of my favorites, and they brought a lot of personality to these characters. Not every narration pairing worked equally well for me, but overall, it was a really enjoyable listening experience. And I especially loved the audiobook blooper sections. Just an unexpected but hilarious break between books.
All in all, a great set of sexy, entertaining MM romances with likable characters, plenty of heat, and happy-ever-after goodness. Some couples left a bigger impression than others, but I had a really good time with this series, and I'm glad I listened to the whole thing.

5* for the voice acting - she must be paying good to get such talented actors to read her books.
2* for the books.
Never reading any of her books again.
If it hadn’t been for the voice actors and the audiobook, I would have DNF-ed this bundle 3 books ago.
It’s spicy alright. It’s the only thing that’s good. The rest is empty. Dialogues are atrocious, the storylines/plots are empty. There’s no substance. It felt like reading the writing of a 15yo who doesn’t know how social interaction works.

🌶️ 4/5 🎧 5/5
I devoured this audio book I had it on at least 6 hours ago day. I was lowkey obsessed with this audio book and the narrators are amazing and I gotta say the bloopers at the end was brilliant I think every book should have them

Great series
This was a great series. I enjoyed how everyone was friends and the relationships developed from that. Each story had their own little twist, but basically, it was the same story. They just had to figure out how to get their HEA.

This is a popular M/M fairly silly & tropey sports romance series. All 5 books are in this 1 collection and the audiobooks are well done... Teddy Hamilton, Jacob Morgan, Shane East... all the good male narrators. Also there are some blooper reels thrown in and they are really funny....

A smoldering, sensual, sexy and entertaining series that had me swooning, smiling and clutching my pearls. I enjoyed each book equally and will definitely re-read over and over again. Fantastic series!

Lauren Blakely writes some of the BEST MM novels, seriously.
Read them and fall in love with these characters. They are THE BEST.
The spice - 3/5 - but how she writes it?! I can't.... it's that good
The story - 5/5 seriously this novel could be closed door and I would still read it (thank GAWD it's open door because DAMN I need water while reading these)
Read these books, you won't regret it ❤️
