Rate this book
Hayes Vogt commands the field with his unyielding focus on victory, determined to lead the Milwaukee Majestics to the Super Bowl. However, one unforgettable evening at a Jersey Matthews concert changes everything. When he hears her voice, he feels a new ambition ignite—a desire to win more than just games.

As football season intensifies and Hayes faces the pressure to perform, he finds himself drawn into a whirlwind romance with the pop sensation. Just when he thinks he has it all figured out, a season-ending injury forces him to reassess everything he holds dear—

Especially the future he envisions with Jersey.

Jersey Matthews is the pop princess of the decade, yet her heart feels shackled under the weight of her label’s constraints. She longs for the freedom to express herself, to write and perform songs that resonate with her soul. Amidst the chaos, Hayes’s unexpected affection becomes her refuge, a spark of hope in a dim reality. As they navigate the throes of ambition and love, both must confront their fears to carve out futures—

Together or apart.

I enjoyed this book a lot. It had a nice balance between sweet moments, romance, and some emotional tension. Hayes was a great character, supportive, respectful, and really easy to like. Jersey was strong and determined, and even if her situation wasn't easy, she kept going. Their chemistry was clear, and I liked how they slowly got closer. Some scenes, especially with Hayes's family, made me smile. The story didn’t feel too heavy, but it still had meaning. A few parts felt a bit too perfect or rushed, which is why I didn’t give it five stars, but overall, it was a really fun and feel-good romance. Thank you so much to the author and Epica Book PR for giving me the opportunity to read the book in advance, I received this for free, and I'm leaving an honest review.

Everything In Between is such a sweet and swoony sports romance between football star Hayes and popstar Jersey. He sees her when he goes to her concert with his sister and is instantly drawn to her. After they keep running into each other, they exchange numbers and begin getting to know each other. Hayes and Jersey were such great characters and I loved their banter and chemistry.

A cute little popstar/sports romance. Everything In Between definitely gave Taylor Swift and Travis Kelse love story vibes. A great amount of banter and chemistry between Jersey and Hayes which made this a entertaining read.

4 star rating, thanks to Epica Book PR and Aria Harding for an advanced copy for my honest review.

Title: Everything In Between
Author: Aria Harding
Genre: Sports Romance
Pages: 366

Rating: 4⭐️/5

“Three years is a long time that you’re stuck with him and the label, and I’d hate to see you miserable that entire time.”

Jersey Matthews is the world’s reigning pop princess, selling out arenas while quietly suffocating under a controlling label. Her brother Roman—Hollywood’s newest heartthrob—sees how much it’s wearing her down, especially after her messy breakup. Meanwhile, Hayes Vogt, the league’s golden-retriever quarterback, is chasing a Super Bowl while nursing both physical and emotional wounds. He doesn’t expect to be captivated when he takes his sister to Jersey’s Milwaukee concert—but he can’t stop thinking about her afterward. When they finally meet at the VMAs, a playful autograph request for Roman sparks a string of flirty texts, secret meetups, and undeniable chemistry. But as Hayes’s injury threatens his career and Jersey begins questioning everything she’s built, they’ll have to decide if love can survive the pressure of fame—or if it’ll crack under the weight.

My favorite part? Definitely their flirty FaceTimes—I was giggling the whole time! The cozy Christmas scenes with Hayes’s family were total comfort, and watching these two slowly heal while navigating fame and fighting for their freedom was everything. It’s giving serious Travis and Taylor vibes, and I was all in for it. EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN blends the high-stakes world of pro football with popstar drama perfectly, delivering heart, heat, and all the found family feels. If you love cinnamon roll quarterbacks, popstars with angst, and romances that hit you right in the heart, this is a must-read!

A big thanks to Epica Book PR and Aria Harding for providing me with a digital ARC of this book!

Releasing 06/26/25 on Amazon, KU and paperback.

Calling all Taylor Swift fans! If you’re a big Swiftie (🙋🏻‍♀️ Proud 0.01% of Spotify listener!) and you’ve loved seeing Taylor’s romance with Travis Kelce, then you need to add Everything In Between by Aria Harding to your TBR list. Our favorite couple’s love story loosely inspires this romance book that highlights what it’s like for a famous pop star to fall in love with a professional football player.

From the very beginning, we learn that Jersey Matthews may appear to have everything a pop star could want… sold-out concerts, adoring fans, a record deal, etc. However, appearances can be deceiving, as Jersey is locked into a very restrictive record contract that doesn’t allow her to have any control over the type of music she makes or her schedule. It doesn’t help that the life of a famous pop star is also very lonely because you never know who you can really trust, and her ex-boyfriend did a real number on her. Her goal is to keep her head down and get through the next few years of her recording contract, then finally take control back over her life.

Until Hayes Vogt comes in. He first sees Jersey at one of her concerts at his team’s stadium (sounds familiar?) and immediately becomes entranced by her. It doesn’t take long until he runs into her at an awards show and shares his phone number. He’s a man on a mission who knows exactly what he wants…Jersey. And he’s not afraid to be very clear about his intentions while also making sure she’s extremely comfortable while he pursues her. It’s a masterclass in how to get the girl.

If you’re looking for a romance book that will make you kick your feet and swoon with a dash of fun spice (both in-person and long distance), then you have to check out Everything In Between.

This book was received as an ARC, but the review is completely independent and reflects my genuine opinion.

This was such a cute and a bit spicy romance. I loved every bit of it. Gave me a little bit of Travis and Taylor vibes, but with a QB.

Jersey is a very popular pop princess. From the outside it looks like she has it all. The game, money, fans, career, friends, but deep down she wants to be able to have more control over her music. She has such a big heart and truly loves to sing and she loves her fans. But she needs to have. Bit more confidence in her voice when standing up for herself.

Hayes is the top QB in the NFL. He loves football and has a great life. But when his sister drags him to a pop princess concert everything changes. He is now entranced with the beautiful and talented star, Jersey. He is so sweet and protective. He wants her to see how strong and talented she is. That her agency is not really in her side and holding her back. But he is there by her side no matter what.

Jersey and Hayes keeps ending up in the same place. After he slips her his number and they start to chat, things take off. It’s butterflies right away for them both. They are so cute together. Both cheering one another on. Both learning about the other and their career, but also wanting to know each other, not just who they are publicly. They will fight whatever it takes to be together.

Wow. I started reading this book tonight and couldn’t stop, and am writing this review at 2:30 in the morning!

I absolutely love Jersey and Hayes oh my gosh! They’re present, you know? They listen intently and genuinely care about what the other person has to say, and they took the effort to learn about each other’s passion. Both of them are incredibly talented too! ❤️

Also I won’t say too much to avoid spoilers but I got no good words for Cal and Carter. Thank goodness for other supportive people in Jersey’s team 🙌

I highly recommend this book if you like the following tropes:
- Sports romance
- Quarterback MMC x Popstar FMC
- He falls first
- Protective MMC
- Career driven FMC
- Us against the world

Thank you so much to Aria Harding and Epica Book PR for the ARC opportunity! Definitely a book that I would read again and again ❤️

I received this book as an arc, thank you for giving me the chance to read it.
This book follows Hayes, a quarterback & Jersey a pop singer! Hayes has an instant attraction to Jersey when he hears her sing. Jersey has been a pop princess for over a decade but felt weighed down by her label.
This book was good & cute. I really enjoyed the dynamic between the two main characters and how they lifted the other up, was there when they needed it, and got each other quickly.
My one complaint- which might not be a complaint for some- is it reminded me WAY to much like the Taylor and Travis story we know. Of course this book was its own story and not everything was the same, there was just enough that I wished wasn’t there. But once again- you might love it. It was a good book- and a cute story.

4.5*

I really enjoyed this book! 🥰 It’s a well-written, sweet, and fun sports romance that draws you in right from the beginning.

You quickly grow attached to both main characters. Hayes, the protective and charming quarterback, is impossible not to love, while Jersey, the big-hearted pop star, brings so much warmth and passion to the story. Their chemistry is steamy, magnetic, and totally addictive.

Both are at the top of their game professionally, and what makes their relationship even more special is how deeply supportive and encouraging they are of one another. They’re adorable, passionate, and absolutely perfect together.

Thank you to Aria Harding and Epica Book PR for this arc read.

I really enjoyed this he falls first, slow-burn romance by Aria Harding that had me hooked from the first page. The characters, Hayes and Jersey have great banter and chemistry.
Hayes the top QB in the NFL takes his sister to a Jersey Mathew’s concert, and is immediately attracted to Jersey’s natural beauty, strong personality and talent as a singer. As luck would have it, they keep running into each other and eventually exchange numbers.
Jersey is having a hard time with her record label, and Hayes ends up being her sounding board, pushing her to be her true self. This was a great romcom with the right amount of spice.

I appreciate the opportunity from Epica PR and Aria Harding to read this ARC. Looking forward to reading another book by Harding.

Thank you to Aria Harding for an early copy in exchange for a honest review.

Jeremy Matthews is the pop princess signed to a label that doesn’t appreciate her or give her any creative freedom. Hayes Vogt is the quarterback for the Majestics.

What I liked:
The chemistry between Jersey and Hayes was amazing. I loved how Hayes pushed her in the best ways and helped her find her voice. The characters were witty and felt relatable even though they hold celebrity level professions.

What I didn’t like:
It felt a little repetitive at some points and at times the grammar/spelling mistakes took me out of the story which did knock it down a star.


I loved this overall. Very cute and fluffy.

Sports Romance is one of my favourite genre and this book made it to my top favourites. I love Love this book. It made me swoon and had me giggling and kicking my feet. Jersey is such a cutie. Her character was so real. I felt her restlessness and her need to make her own music. I loved the way she absolutely owned it at the end. I read the book for the plot. The plot - Hayes. Just kidding. Love the way his character was written, the easy going attitude of his and his devotion to Jersey. The chemistry was off the charts. They had me rooting for them since the beginning. Riley and Hayes are cute siblings. I loved their bond. This book is literally so perfect and should be your next read.

Everything In Between is a sweet, open-door sports romance between a protective quarterback and a career driven popstar with us-against-the-world vibes, found family, he falls first, no third-act breakup and spicy FaceTime calls. The story is very Taylor Swift x Travis Kelce coded, which I absolutely loved. Both MCs are strong, supportive and career driven—and they are definitely not afraid to fight for each other. I loved how sweet and supportive Hayes is. He is such a rock for Jersey. This was such a fun read! Thank you Epica Book PR for a copy of this ARC!

Listen, I am a huge Swiftie. This book did a great job with throwing call outs and easter eggs about Travis Kelce x Taylor Swift, without becoming a fanfiction. When Hayes takes his sister to a Jersey concert, he isn't expecting to fall hard for the popstar. I loved the way they fell in love, in texts and facetime calls. I love that they were willing to give and receive with both of their schedules and their careers. This was such a feel good romcom!

Thank you to Epica books and Aria Harding f0r the ARC!

Everything In Between was such a cute sports romance that had me swooning fiercely for Hayes Vogt. How do I find me one of him?? This book gave me total Travis & Taylor vibes and I loved every single part of it. Jersey was an amazing FMC, who just needed a little support from Hayes to really find her voice and stand up to her management company. This book captured my attention and I could not put it down. I loved the love between Hayes and Jersey and now nothing was staying in their way of their relationship.

Loved this popstar x football player romance, Jersey and Hayes are really sweet together.
Apart from the romance side which got me routing for them from the start, there was also tension in both their lives which added to the storyline.
Hayes is so supportive, a dream boyfriend with an awesome family too.
Jersey although famous is also down to earth, but can they make things work whilst outside forces come in their way.

What a fun read! You learn about Jersey and Hayes so quickly, about what Jersey is going through and how much Hayes just wants to help 🤭

Jerseys manager and ex are buttheads and I was so glad that Hayes came in cause he's a GIANT walking green flag, how invested they both got of each other even before being official and how cute their interactions are along the way was super cute!

It was such a sweet quick read, I cannot wait to read more by Aria! 😍

Aria Harding is a fairly new author to me but I have enjoyed reading this book.

Jersey is a pop princess music icon and Hayes is a pro football player. They both are kind of broken and needed to find each other to heal from their past. I really enjoyed reading there story and getting to know each other while reading this story.

Reading about Jersey & Hayes coming together and helping lift each other throughout their career was so uplifting and fun! A great cute romance that wasn’t loaded with smut. An overall happy and cute vibe!

I was hooked from the very start! Jersey and Hayes make the absolute cutest couple. I loved how Hayes wanted to take things slow to prove just how serious he was about her. Everything they worked through together, and how supportive they were of each other was just perfect. I’d love to see this story come to life as a movie!

Thank you so much, Aria, for this ARC. I absolutely loved it!

Thankful to read this book through ARC. This book was every bit cute love story, with a little bit of spice. I was so glad that there wasn't the cliche break up at the end. And loved the protectiveness of Hayes. There were a few parts were you wanted Jersey to get around the label, and was frustrating but all worked out well in the end. Great book!

This was quite a cute and sweet read! I was hooked from the first chapter mostly because I could not help seeing Taylor/Travis in my head as I was reading.
Also this was the first time I was reading a popstar/sport romance and it was really enjoyable.
It's perfect for you if you enjoy hot romances with a cinnamon roll MMC, some dramas, and a FMC fighting for who she is.

Rate: 5/5 Spice:5/5

I loved this one! Who doesn’t love a pop star and football romance? Definitely gives some Taylor Swift/Travis Kelce vibes. Jersey is a pop start and Hayes is a Super Bowl winning quarterback. Both characters are at the top of their individual industries. Jersey just got out of a relationship when she meetings Hayes for the first time. Their relationship is long distance and very modern day romance. I loved the stories of these characters. You will love this book if you love sports romance, pop stars, long distance, spicy FaceTimes, crazy exes, and found family. This book needs to be on your tbr. I highly recommend!🎤🏈💜

I devoured this book. Jersey and Hayes have a connection that starts with a glance and only gets stronger with every page. Their playful texting had me giggling. Their hidden meetups gave me butterflies. And when they opened up to each other? I felt every word.

Jersey is all glitter and grit, a girl carrying the weight of fame and expectations. I wanted to wrap her in a hug and tell her she deserves so much more. Hayes is the softest soul in a star quarterback's body. He is charming, caring, and so completely gone for her from the start. Watching him be patient, supportive, and quietly devoted was everything.

Their chemistry is electric, but it’s the tenderness that truly made my heart ache. From snowy family scenes that felt like warm blankets to moments of quiet courage and vulnerability, this story isn’t just about falling in love. It’s about choosing it, again and again, even when the world is watching.

🖤 𝐉𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐄𝐘: tired of pretending, desperate for something real
🖤 𝐇𝐀𝐘𝐄𝐒: the kind of man who remembers your coffee order and listens with his whole heart

💫 What begins as a spark becomes something slow, steady, and soul-deep. Their love isn’t loud. It’s real, raw, and healing.

🌟 𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐨𝐦 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞:
This book is for every reader who loves a good pining hero, a heroine fighting for her freedom, and a romance that holds your heart and refuses to let go. It is giving Travis and Taylor energy with its own soft, powerful spin. I LOVED it.

Thank you @epicabookpr and @ariahardingbooks for the digital ARC. This story left me smiling, swooning, and just a little bit wrecked 💌🎤🏈

Hayes and Jersey were so sweet. The banter and chemistry between them was on point. The side characters (especially his family) added another layer that made this even more enjoyable. The softie football star and the determined pop star brought the romance. A truly enjoyable read!
