From the bestselling author of Infidelity and Sin comes an addictive football romance series filled with power plays, forbidden passion, and jaw-dropping twists.

He was her past, now he might cost her the future.

I was born into a football dynasty built on power, money, and secrets.
Now those secrets are unraveling.
The truth about my family threatens everything, from the franchise to the locker room. Allies I trusted have their own agendas. And in the NFL’s ruthless good ol’ boys club, there’s no mercy for a woman who dares to challenge the league’s power structure.
This isn’t just football.
It's an empire. It's a legacy. It’s war.
With the franchise and my future on the line, there’s only one man I might be able to trust.
Fin—Griffin Graham.
Elite NFL quarterback. The new face of the team.
My past. My weakness. My second chance.
Our chemistry still burns hotter than game day lights. But in a professional football world ruled by contracts, media scrutiny, and billion-dollar reputations, falling for the star quarterback again could destroy everything we’re fighting to protect.
With more than our season on the line, I’m forced to choose a side.
Will it be the right choice?
Have you been Aleatha’d?
Rushed is book two of The Coopers, a second chance sports romance wrapped in betrayal, dynasty drama, and high-stakes romantic suspense set in the seductive, cutthroat world of professional football. RUSHED ends on a cliffhanger—an unforgettable Aleatha blindside.

The Coopers is a four-book football romance saga following one explosive couple, beginning with INTERCEPTED, which must be read prior to RUSHED. Perfect for fans of the ruthless tension of Succession and the dark, aching obsession of Wuthering Heights.

Rating: 4.5⭐️
🫧 Vibes: taking over the family empire
🎶 Song: champagne problems - taylor swift
📚 Would I recommend? YES
💬 tldr thoughts: this series is so underrated and more people should be reading it!!

In the package:
📦 family dynasty
📦 boss x footballer
📦 drama
📦 billionaire FMC
📦 2nd book in the series

Plot: The second book follows Vee as she fights to protect her position and legacy within the Coopers organization while dealing with the turmoil from book 1 (keeping this spoiler free). While some are supportive of her, not everyone in the family business agrees with her choices.

Thoughts: oh my goshhhh. I said this last time but I need the next book after that cliffhanger. I was actually so convinced I figured it out but I was so wrong. I devoured this in two sittings. This book is filled with more family drama as Vee is now the CEO of the family-owned football team. She's resilient and doesn't take shit from anyone, despite working in a misogynistic environment dominated by men. I loved seeing her and Fin's relationship evolve in this second book and how he continuously showed up for her time and time again. I'm just obsessed with this series, I love sports romance books but this one blends family business and drama with high stakes which makes it extra juicy. You can't trust anyone 👀

Thank you Hambright PR and Aleatha Romig for the eARC!

In all my favorite series, the second book is usually my favorite. The first book is really just an introduction and in the second book, you’ve built a connection to the characters, you’re deep in the plot, and the stakes are much higher. Rushed is a perfect sequel and already has me dying for book 3 in this series!

Picking up right where we left off, Vee and Fin have hashed it out and decided they can’t stay away from each other any longer. With everything out in the open, they feel free to give their love another chance and won’t let any misunderstandings get in their way this time. But when Vee arrives at the Stadium to meet with her dad and tell him about their relationship, she learns he has died in a car accident and she is now the sole owner of the Coopers organization. Over the next week, we see Vee battle her family, the coaches and the media, who feel she is not fit to run the team. With twists and turns around every corner, Vee can’t help but feel thankful to have the sexy Quarterback at her side through it all.

This was an excellent continuation of the first book. It was so great watching Vee and Fin come back to each other in the first book but watching them be completely in love and by each other’s side in the second was even better. With all the plot twists that came up, it really felt like I was reading a thriller rather than a romance. This book ended on another cliffhanger and I really don’t know what is going to happen next!

Oh my goodness! Aleatha Romig never fails to bring in a well written book that has a multi layered plot and strong, interesting charaters, and Rushed more than delivers on every front! Vee is reeling, as are we, from the news at the end of Intercepted, and, picking up from that point we are treated to a fast moving story which just becomes more and more intriguing with each page. Having the dual POV, further enhanced my reactions to everything I was reading and I already want to see some comeuppances happen!!
Being a Brit and knowing/understanding very little about American football, I found the detail of play both confusing and interesting! So complicated!! But it all served to add another layer of richness to the story and underline the size of the role Vee is taking on her shoulders.
With another astounding cliffhanger Aleatha has again delivered a fabulous, immersive read. I cannot wait for what happens next!! 💖💖💖💖💖

I was given this arc on behalf of Hambright PR!

This series just keeps getting better and better!! Just when you think you know what is going to happen in comes the plot twist! I cannot get enough of Vee and Finn. I need more! I cannot wait for book 3 to come out this summer!

At the end of book one we find out they Reid was killed in a horrific car accident. This book takes you through the days after finding everything out, up until the funeral! There is spice, there is tension and of course there is family drama! It wouldn't be the coopers without drama! I have so many questions about Grant snd Daphne, but I guess I have to try to be patient and wait!!! Also BRE?! How is this going to play out?!

This book is addictive and compelling, and I devoured this book, loving every moment.

Until the cliffhanger I knew was coming, still blindsided me and left me craving to read the next book.

The dysfunction, secrets, maneuvering and the potential for backstabbing in the Hubbard/Marsh family is much more evident in this second book. With the sudden power vacuum in the family it’s clear the next books in the series are going to be appointment reading for me. I’m so eager for the next books!

This book includes a depth of football not typically included in sports romances, and I loved that deep dive into terminology, game play and the dynamics of everything surrounding the game. Seeing Vee gain confidence in her competency is fun to see. I think she’s definitely going to be a powerhouse in the last half of this series.

I received a free ARC from the author and Wildfire Marketing Solutions; and I am voluntarily leaving an unbiased review.

This series!!! I cannot get enough of it, just when I think I know where it is going, bam the author blows me away and that ending....book 3 can't come fast enough. This book continues the story of Vee and Fin, he's the quarter back of the football team that her family owns. The twists and turns this story takes had me reading any chance I got. This book continues on with the family thee and the drama and complexities that come along with it. Such a well written series and I cannot wait to see where it goes from here. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book for my honest opinion.

I Rushed to read the second installment and I was not disappointed! I love Vee and Finn’s blossoming relationship. Vee is learning more and more about what it takes to operate the Coopers franchise. And of course, it wouldn’t be an Aleatha Romig series without a shocking ending. Can’t wait for more!

Aleatha did me dirty again… And I’d still crawl back for more

4.75 ⭐️ | 3.5 🌶️

I swear I know better by now. I KNOW what Aleatha Romig does. And yet here I am, emotionally wrecked, pacing my room, and side-eyeing my Kindle like it personally betrayed me. Because that ending? Absolutely criminal.

Rushed picks up right where the chaos exploded in book one, and from the very first pages, it’s clear this isn’t just a continuation; it’s a full-blown escalation. The stakes are higher, the tension sharper, and the emotional punches hit way harder. Vee’s world is cracking open, and watching her navigate the fallout is equal parts gripping and stressful (in the best way).

Vee remains that powerhouse FMC we fell for: sharp, resilient, and completely unwilling to be steamrolled by a system designed to keep her quiet. She’s not just surviving in this ruthless, testosterone-fueled football empire; she’s challenging it. And honestly? Watching her step into her power while everything around her threatens to implode is incredibly satisfying.

And then there’s Fin.

Griffin “Fin” Graham is that kind of man: the calm in the storm, the grounding force when everything spirals. Their chemistry? Still very much alive and kicking. It’s not just heat; it’s history, tension, vulnerability… all wrapped up in a connection that feels inevitable and dangerous at the same time. The romance here leans more emotional than physical, but when the spice does show up? Oh, it delivers.

What really got me, though, is the layering. This isn’t just a sports romance; it’s power plays, family secrets, shifting loyalties, and a constant sense that no one is fully trustworthy. Every chapter feels like it’s building toward something bigger… and just when you think you’ve got a handle on things, boom. Aleatha pulls the rug out from under you.

Again.

I won’t spoil anything, but let’s just say: that twist? I audibly gasped. Possibly yelled. Definitely questioned my life choices.

This book is raw in a quieter way: less about explosive drama and more about emotional depth, loyalty, and the kind of love that shows up even when everything is falling apart. It’s about standing your ground, choosing your battles, and holding onto the one person who might just be your safe place in the middle of a war.

Bottom line: addictive, intense, and impossible to put down. And yes, I am once again begging for the next book like my sanity depends on it.

Because apparently… I have been Aleatha’d.

A huge thank you to Hambright PR for sending me an eARC of Rushed, I’m so grateful to have had the chance to dive into this one early. And congratulations to Aleatha Romig on the upcoming release on April 6th: this installment is absolutely going to live up to (and maybe even surpass) the hype of book one.

This isn’t just a sports romance. This is power, legacy, secrets, and emotional warfare wrapped in designer suits and stadium lights. It feels like stepping into a glittering empire where everyone smiles with their teeth while hiding knives behind their backs. And I ate it UP.

The tension?? Off the charts. Every chapter feels like it’s vibrating. You know something is about to explode, you just don’t know when or how bad the fallout is going to be. And when the truths start peeling back… wow. The drama is rich, messy, and deliciously toxic in the best way.

And FIN. GRIFFIN. GRAHAM.
This man is a whole problem. A walking, talking, heartbreak-inducing, swoon-worthy PROBLEM. The chemistry between him and the Vee is not just “sparks flying” — it’s a full-blown electrical storm. The kind that fries logic and leaves you making terrible decisions… and rooting for them anyway.

Second chance romance is already my weakness, but this?? This is second chance with history, baggage, power imbalance, AND stakes so high they’re practically suffocating. Every interaction between them feels loaded. Every glance, every touch… it all means something.

And can we talk about the Vee for a second? Because I LOVED her. She’s navigating a world that was never built for her to succeed in, surrounded by men who underestimate her, and she’s still standing there like “try me.” The pressure she’s under?? Insane. The choices she has to make?? Brutal. I felt that stress in my bones.

Also… the way Aleatha writes twists should honestly come with a warning label. Because just when you think you’ve got a handle on things—NOPE. Rug pulled. Sanity gone. Trust shattered. I literally had to stop and stare at the wall for a second like… “excuse me???”

And that ending????
ARE YOU KIDDING ME.
I have never felt so personally attacked by a cliffhanger in my life. I need the next book like I need oxygen.

If you love:
• messy powerful families
• football but make it ruthless and political
• second chance romance that HURTS so good
• jaw-dropping twists that leave you spiraling

…then welcome to your new obsession.

Review of advance copy
March 24, 2026
I could have very easily read this book in one sitting - and I would have if real life hadn't got in the way. Rushed picks up Vee and Fin's fabulous story right where Intercepted ended, and after that incredible cliffhanger, I was desperate to find out what happened next. Now that I've finished Rushed... I'm desperate all over again!

I absolutely love the anticipation and suspense that a great cliffhanger brings, and this is something Aleatha Romig does brilliantly.

The Coopers is a four-book football romance saga, and I already know I'm going to need signed copies of this series on my shelves. I'm absolutely loving learning more about the game and the behind-the-scenes running of an National Football League team. This series feels different from most sports romances I've read due to Vee being an executive within the club while Fin a player. I have to say that reading about the twists and turns life within the club brings is perfectly balanced with the romance between the couple once they've left the stadium. It's fascinating to see how they navigate it all.

I cannot get enough of either Fin or Vee. I'm so glad we still have another two books to enjoy so we can witness more incredible moments between them. Of course, there's also the club drama and suspense that keeps me desperate for more.

I found Intercepted to be fresh, emotional, and thrilling - and I named it one of my top reads of 2026. Rushed sits right alongside it. These first two books in the saga have been absolute perfection for me, and there is honestly nothing I didn't love.

Now I'm counting down the days until Sacked and Scored because I need to know what happens next.

5 stars - a top read of 2026!

Left reeling after an accident that changed everything, Vee finds herself having to make big decisions for her own future, and that of the Coopers. When secrets start coming out, she finds it hard to know who to trust, especially as those she thought were her closest allies seem more concerned about advancing their own agendas than anything else. As it’s made clear that the good ol’ boys club is alive and well, she is underestimated at every turn, but with the support of the players, she finds her strength.

Needing calm in the chaos, she leans on Fin in a way that she hasn’t allowed herself to trust anyone else in her past, and even when rumours threaten to break them apart, he shows her that this time, he plans to stay.

I received an early copy of this book from Hambright PR and boy did it ever leave my head spinning. I thought the ending of Intercepted had thrown me for a loop but this one was on a whole other level. First and foremost, I love Fin and Vee together. While they hurt each other terribly in their youth, they prove that sometimes timing is everything, and while this may seem like a terrible time to restart a relationship, I loved how seemlessly they worked together, and how Fin wordlessly gives her exactly what she needs. Despite the weight of the organization on her shoulders, Vee proves how strong she is, and finds unlikely allies to help her focus on what is important. Once again the cliffhanger ending could change everything, and I can’t wait to see what happens next when book 3 comes out in July!

Book Tropes: Young college love. Second chance romance. Sports Romance. Family legacy drama. Family secrets.

This is book #2 in the series. You do need to read Intercepted (book 1), as Rushed (book 2) picks up where Intercepted (book 1) left off.

Griffin (Fin) Graham - 36 was the back up quarterback, but after the main quarterback was injured he was moved into the starting quarterback position. He is older and a lot of the younger players do look up to him to see how he is handling the pressure. Fin is there for Vee more than her family has been. Fin wants Vee to lean on him more. They both have been trying to keep their relationship on the down low.

Maeve (Vee) Cooper - at the end of Intercepted (book 1) she just found out her father passed away in a car crash. Now, she is the new President of The NFL Coopers Football team. Her dad was in the middle of revising his will, but, he never finished the will / signed a new one. So, the will he had made when she was 11 is what the courts will honor. It turns out that her dad had some skeleton's in his closet she didn't know about. Will her family now fight to take over the NFL team from her?

Vee and Fin have decided they can’t stay away from each other any longer and are done with hiding. Most of the football team and coaches know they are together. They have been trying to stay out of the spot light with the media as they want the focus to be on her father and football team not their romance.

RUSHED ends on a cliffhanger!

Rushed was a strong continuation that felt necessary following the cliffhanger in the first book.

Rather than focusing on secrecy, the story quickly shifts into what happens after Fin and Vee’s relationship becomes public. This allowed the book to move forward without repeating the same conflict and instead explore new dynamics.

Vee’s storyline stood out the most. Navigating her father’s sudden death, dealing with the pressure of stepping into his role, and proving she is capable of leading added depth to the story.

The added mystery surrounding her father’s death brought another layer to the narrative. The discovery of benzodiazepine in his system, along with details about his personal life, created questions that kept the story engaging beyond the romance.

Fin’s role as a supportive and protective partner balanced the story well, allowing Vee’s growth to remain at the center.

Overall, this was more than just a romance continuation—it was a story about grief, responsibility, and uncovering the truth.

Dang it Aleatha Romig… how many times are you gonna rip my heart out and leave me hanging like this?! 😩
Okay, buckle up because the emotional damage is REAL with this one.
After Reid’s death, everything just starts spiraling for Vee. And I mean everything. Her own family? Against her. Secrets? Still piling up like we’re not already stressed enough. And listen… I’m side-eyeing HARD because there has got to be a mole in the mix 👀
Then there’s Fin. Their relationship is finally out in the open, and I love that he’s there for her, steady and supportive when her whole world is basically crumbling. But the real question is—can Vee step into the woman her father always believed she could be?
Because things come to light… and not the cute, tidy kind. The kind that forces you to either break or fight.
And Vee? She’s standing right on that edge.
This book had me stressed, emotional, and completely hooked. The tension, the betrayal, the “who can you even trust anymore?” vibes?? Ugh, SO GOOD.
But that cliffhanger?? Ma’am. I need answers immediately because my heart cannot take this kind of abuse 😭

Rushed by Aleatha Romig is the kind of book that pulls you all the way in and doesn’t let you go.

This is a love story, a true tale of togetherness, and a deep dive into family, both the comforting side and the downright scary side. The relationships feel real, layered, and sometimes intense in a way that keeps you turning pages.

The football element is done right. It adds drive, structure, and energy to the story without taking away from the emotional core. You can feel the passion for the game, and it blends seamlessly with everything else.

The love is sincere and steady, not rushed, just real. And that’s what makes it hit.

When you combine all of that, the romance, the family dynamics, the tension, the football, you get what I’d call being “Aleatha’d.” Pulled into a story so completely that you don’t even realize how deep you’re in until it’s too late.

And that cliffhanger?

Whew. It will leave you needing the next book immediately.

It's definitely a 5-star read.

Rushed is Book 2 in the Cooper Series, and this series just keeps getting better. The story picks up right where Book 1 left off, with Vee’s world turned upside down and the future of the Cooper legacy hanging in the balance.

I loved seeing Vee grow stronger as she fights to prove herself while dealing with her vulnerabilities. And Fin? He is the calm in Vee’s chaos—loyal, steady, and exactly what she needs. Their relationship development and chemistry were a highlight of the book. 🔥

This installment brings more twists, family drama, business politics, and secrets, along with the football elements that make the story even more exciting. It’s fast-paced, engaging, and I finished it in just two sittings.

And yes… that cliffhanger ending! Aleatha definitely Aleatha’d us again. Now the long wait for Book 3 begins. 📚

My gosh, what an epic rollercoaster of emotions this book brings.

Vee is utterly amazing! When faced with the ultimate tragedy she shines bright by being fierce and strong.

Fin is truly amazing too. Especially with his "Fin’s-in-control plan" being a super supportive partner to Vee.

With all the little spanners being thrown in to the mix I'm super excited to see where the next book takes us.

While the spice was insanely hot it's the emotional connection between Fin and Vee that has me hooked. The truly belong together.

Aleatha has done it again with that cliffhanger, it truly was a surprise!

Absolutely recommend 👌🏻

Rushed is just as good as Intercepted and this series is getting addictive.
Football is my life from September until February every year and I devour romance novels. So this series is so my cup of tea and I can’t get enough of it.
Vee and Finn’s relationship is out, everyone knows but it’s not stopping them from falling more in love.
I love how Finn is always there for Vee, helping her through this new life, being the owner of The Cooper’s plus dealing with the death of her father and her ruthless family. And now with what she finds out in the doozy of a cliffhanger, I’d be loosing my mind. Can’t wait for the next book.

Rushed by Aleatha Romig picks up right where Book One left me reeling—the cliffhanger ending had me desperate for more! Vee and Fin finally seem to be finding their footing, but the death of Vee’s father throws everything into turmoil. Fin’s stability and nurturing personality are a lifeline as Vee navigates this storm, but with more secrets unraveling, trust is in short supply.

And that ending… wow. I did not see that twist coming. Now I’m left on the edge, unsure who to believe, and not so patiently waiting for the next installment. Aleatha Romig has done it again—emotional, suspenseful, and utterly addictive.

Book one introduced us to all the characters and gave us great backstory. Setting us up for book 2.
Picking up right at the SHOCKING ending.
Now we watch everyone deal with the aftermath.
In Aleatha style we are hit with twists that no one saw coming. I loved watching our couple grow closer as they deal with such a heartbreaking and stressful time.
I don't know how I feel about some of these family members I thought they were a tight loving family but it looks like tragedy is making them show their true colors. Secrets are revealed and people are not all who they seemed. This family drama is getting juicy!!
And the ending OMG???

The romance where the owner’s daughter has a second chance with her college love, now their quarterback of the team. I’m invested in this world, Vee and Fin go against the odds, move on from their past, and confront head-on the legacy tied power and greed, family drama, and secrets. Their passion is steamy, their trust is questioned, their chemistry and love undeniable. And the cliffhangers at the end of each book?! Goodness, I’m ready for more in this saga!
This review is repeated from Book 1, Intercepted,, as I read them back to back like one book!

When I read book one, I was eager to get my hands on the next book. That cliffhanger was... well, it did exactly what Ms. Romig intended: it created a rope that left us hanging, waiting for more.

Vee and Fin's connection is beautiful. He is a source of comfort for her in this time of turmoil with the death of her father and the future of the team and its ownership in a fight.

I thoroughly enjoyed the continuation of this story but, man! Another twist? More doubts? And possibly betrayal? I need book 3 ASAP!

July is too far away to wait for the next book. Rushed starts off where Intercepted ended. After that ending, I was prepared for more twists and turns and another shocking ending. This book did not disappoint. Once again, a lot of the football jargon went over my head, but that did not take away from my enjoyment of the story. I found myself unable to put the book down. There are still two more books before all of our questions will be answered. I cannot wait to see how the story continues.

The thrilling second book in this series and it picks up right where the Interference left off. Vee and Finn seem to be finding their footing but with all the secrets that are being revealed, trust is becoming hard to come by.

Vee’s world has been turned upside down and shattered. And after the death of her father, the family drama has her questioning who will be supporting her decisions or going behind her back.

Oh the twists and turns!

The cliffhanger from book one took much of this book as Vee and Fin’s relationship continued to strengthen, especially after they were outed to the media. But with the death of Vee’s father, it’s now uncertain who she can trust in upper management with the Coopers, especially because some knew of the new but never filed Will and the one that currently stands. As Vee learns how to be the new owner, she also learns things about her dad that she didn’t know before. So just when she’s about to make her decision public, another twist happens.

This is book two of four that need to be read in order.

I love how much Fin was Vee’s rock through all this. I was a little worried that Fin was going to be the next twist, but there’s still time for that to happen. I do wonder how much more trouble Vee’s uncle and cousin are going to be, as it seems like her aunt and the rest of her cousins are okay with her being the owner and CEO, unlike them. Though the one problem cousin bringing Vee’s ex to the funeral seems like he has something up his sleeve. And I wonder how much the cliffhanger will affect the Will?

I received an advance review copy from Hambright PR, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Book 2 in this series will have you hooked from the beginning. Great chemistry with twists and turns that’ll keep you on the edge of your seat. Add in that ending and you’ll be begging for book 3.
