Intercepting Daisy
When Daisy Spencer wrote an erotic novella about the Seattle Sharks’ backup quarterback and her #1 crush, Grant Parker, she never expected it to become a runaway bestseller. If anyone discovers she wrote the sexy story, her days as a flight attendant for the Sharks would be over. But once she gets to know the real man behind the fantasy, her heart may be in more danger than her job.
Having Seattle fans think squeaky clean Grant is wild in bed is the last thing he needs—even if it might be closer to the truth than he will ever say. As he spends his days, and nights, with the gorgeous Daisy, he’s not interested in going back to the lonely life he once led. But when the real author of the novella is finally outed, Grant and Daisy must both reveal the secrets they’ve hidden away or risk losing a love that’s better than any fantasy.

Intercepting Daisy was the sixth book in the Love and Football series by Julie Brannagh.
Grant was the backup quarterback for the Seattle Sharks. He had a pristine reputation as a pastor’s kid and was expected to live up to it. The Sharks also had a previous QB whose reputation was a nightmare so they were incredibly strict with Grant’s expected image.
Daisy was a flight attendant who took on a second job as the flight attendant for the Sharks corporate jet. She also had a secret hobby under a pen name that wrote an erotic book about her fantasies with Grant.
As expected, Grant and Daisy’s secrets eventually blew up on all accounts. Although the story was well written and well developed, it felt mechanical to me and I desired more feeling. It was probably more of a personal preference. Additionally, I wanted to see more of a conclusion with the reporter - no spoilers forthcoming, so no elaboration here, just that I wanted more closure.
True to the series, Brannagh included all of our past favorites throughout the storyline. It was great to catch up with them and see the big picture of their friendships and team bonding.
All in all, it was enjoyable. Next up is Tanner. We weren’t introduced yet, but my guess is that he was the veteran QB that was referenced as being injured near the end of the book. Either way, we’ll see in Necessary Roughness.

I have become a fan of the Love and Football series for many reasons. One of them is how different each and every story is and Intercepting Daisy was no different and stood out.
Daisy is a flight attendant and has a crush on Grant who plays football. While she might work on some of the flights he takes to his games they really haven't spoken much. The next best thing was writing down all her dirty fantasies about the rising football star. Daisy had no idea it would become a bestseller or the heat it would cause.
Grants team has worked hard on keeping his image clean, after all his parents are pastors but he has needs. One night stands are what he does and as long as it's done quietly no know will know until he discovers someone has written a book which is completely false. Now that he's met Daisy and wants to get serious with her he isn't sure she will stand by him when the news breaks on this book.
I really enjoyed the whole she wrote the book idea after her crush. While it did seem stalkerish at times Grant should have really been flattered she liked him like that. I mean it wasn't like she went around taking pictures of him or stealing his underwear but I like the idea of the story. I felt Brannagh really used her imagination with this one because hey anyone could do this.
I understood the characters and liked them not only as a couple but individuals. Daisy was nice, sweet and had a great job. Grant was in the spotlight so deserved his private life but you could see he was a good guy and did what he had too.
The dialogue was good and the story was entertaining but sometimes I did find myself wanting it to speed up or be a little more on the juicy side after all Daisy did write about what she wanted to do. But overall I enjoyed it and felt this one fit right in with the other books in this series.

Having read and enjoyed all the other books in this series, I was excited to pick up INTERCEPTING DAISY. I also follow the author on social media, and I was aware that she'd stepped out of her comfort zone with this one, which made me very curious and eager to give it a read.
That being said, this one was a flop for me. The story was imbalanced; the relationship between the characters took a back seat to the detailed sex (both between the characters and in the snippets of Daisy's self-published erotic novel). Yes, the sex scenes were hot, but I saw zero chemistry between the H/Hh. Zero. They barely spoke for the majority of the novel, and I kept thinking, "Seriously, you've been on one date. Get a freaking grip." The hero, Grant, is a quiet guy - but he was positively silent when it came to talking with Daisy. Daisy was more outgoing but didn't seem overly bothered that she was now dating the subject of her erotic novel (come on, that's just weird).
Another thing that bothered me about this storyline was that a single conversation, which had plenty of opportunity to occur (as each of them "really wanted to talk" but decided against it for no good reason EVERY TIME) would've fixed their issues - and it had me rolling my eyes, as I saw through what she was doing there. I hate this trope. I mean, come on. That reads more like an NA where the characters are too immature to know better. Brannagh can - and has - done better.
The storyline felt forced and unnatural, and I was quite disappointed in it.
With all this being said, I do see the potential for Brannagh to continue writing in this vein (quite sexy, very hot), but perhaps with the next one it'll concentrate equally on the relationship development and the sex. I will still read this author, and have to chalk this one up to a learning curve on her part. There's potential, but the balance of the story elements needs work.

I don't know what it's about fall but I love a good football story. I can't even say that I'm a football fan, I'm more of a fall fan and have to admit that who doesn't love a hot football player?
Intercepting Daisy is book #6 of Brannagh Love & Football series and I have to say that I really enjoyed it. This is a very quick read that once you start it you'll not want to put it down until your done.
I have to tell you that I really loved Grant even with him being a player. Of course I didn't see him being a player, for me he a just a single guy having some fun. Why else be single if you can't have some fun!
Daisy is a great character too. She's so sweet. I have to say that I think this is the first time I've ever read a story where the heroine was a flight attended. I really liked it, something a little different. I also thought it was funny that Daisy writes a erotic story and self-published it about one of the football player that's on her flight.
The part I wasn't thrilled about is how upset Grant got when he found out. Yes she didn't tell him but give me a break, it's worth being pissed about, not throw a tantrum about. I also felt like the story line with the reporter was dropped a little too.
Even with what I didn't care for I still enjoyed the story as a whole. I really enjoyed visiting with the past characters for the other books in the series.

As much as I enjoy a gut-wrenching and emotional novel, I also sometimes like to read an uncomplicated and predictable story that is well written and entertaining. This is exactly what Julie Brannagh delivers with her sports romance Intercepting Daisy, where the professional quarterback falls for the team’s flight attendant with a couple of bumps along the road to their happily ever after.
Grant Parker is hired as a backup quarterback for the Seattle Sharks to help clean up the team’s image. He’s scandal free, quiet and the son of famous megachurch pastors. He even looks a little like Jesus! The team’s public relations department markets his good-boy image by arranging dates with girls from the local Christian colleges and by making sure photos of the innocent evenings find their way to the Internet. Grant is fulfilling his role as the churchgoing football star, but he has a secret that threatens his image and his career. Grant’s nights do not end when his vanilla dates end. After praying over pasta with a Bible co-ed and leaving with just a kiss on the cheek, Grant frequently heads out to find a no strings attached one-night stand. His bosses, his parents and his fans believe he’s chaste, even celibate, when he is quite the opposite.

Adorable with a flair for cheeky is the best way to describe Intercepting Daisy. Daisy's good girl image hides a naughty girl's fantasies. Her heart and hormones belong to the one guy who is out of her league. When her dirty thoughts are exposed to the world, her secret fantasies may have the chance to come true. Julie Brannagh awakens that hint of imagination that turns dreamers into romantics and fantasies into reality. Her stories are hopeful with charm.

I loved this new addition to one of my favorite series! The story line was sweet, sexy, and original!

I was disappointed. I felt like the story spent too much time belittling Grants' parents and their beliefs...

Daisy is a flight attendance who in secret wrote a "smutty" romance novel, aka an erotic romance and self published it. It was supposed to be a one-off type of book to help her get her sexual fantasies on paper. But the big problem is, her sexy romance is a big hit (made her $50,000 in one month), and her muse, the object of her affection, is Grant, the backup quarterback for the Sharks. The Sharks use her airplane company for away games, and Daisy usually ends up working on those flights. If Grant or the Sharks ever find out she is the author of the book that has Grant as her hero, she may lose her job and her dignity.
Grant is great at his job, but one of the reasons he was hired by the Sharks is because of his reputation. His father is a pastor and religious, just like his mother. Grant must show the public he lives a very proper and moral life by volunteering at the hospital and visiting sick children (which he loves), and keeping his dating on the down low. He can't be a player, as a player when it comes to sex and women because the guy he took over for was basically fired for being out of control off the field, as in a man ho. Grants keeps his "dating" a secret, as in having one-night stands, but making sure his "dates" are happy so they won't spill the intimate details in the press. But he has made one big mistake. A year ago he had a one night stand with a woman he met at a bar. He had no clue that she's a reporter. She's angry he dropped her after having sex, so now she's out to ruin him. Grant shrugs her off because what scoop does she have other than he's single and he likes women?
Around the time Grant is trying to deal with this reporter, he is interested in Daisy. She appears open to getting to know him, and unlike other women he's been with, he feels Daisy is something different. He takes her out on a first date, and it's near perfect. He's not interested in taking her home for a night, but he does want more. Daisy is open to more but he's really trying to be a gentleman. Then they have a second date, and one thing leads to another...
Daisy loves the way Grant makes her feel and how he goes out of his way to be involved in charities, but she's carrying a lot of guilt over the book she wrote. She needs to tell him before he finds out. But if she does tell him the whole truth, is he going to cut and run because he may think she made him look like a fool?
Intercepting Daisy is your typical Contemporary Sports Romance with two likable main characters. Both Daisy and Grant are very lovable, and overall nice people. Daisy comes across as a very independent woman with a job she loves. She does like writing, but has a bad habit of putting down her writing and the fact she has written a naughty romance, aka an erotic romance. She has this big sense of shame because of it. Her shame is compounded because of Grant and his attentions toward her. She's stuck in a corner, because if she tells him upfront about the book, and his role in it, their relationship would be over before it began. Some readers may be on the fence about his drama or angst. Then there is Grant who's life is open for interpretation in the public eye. He can't be honest about his romantic entanglements and whether or not he has one night stands, or the amount of sex he has. It's a big of a role reversal because usually the heroine is torn about her sexual personal life. This was something different from what I read in my romance, and even though it was a nice tough to have the hero in the spotlight about his sexual past and present, I found it a little too much because it almost came down to him losing his job if he's found running around with women in secret or having too much sex with random women, and isn't monogamous.
If you can put aside the issue with Daisy's guilt over her book, and the constant spotlight on Grant's sexual private life, Intercepting Daisy is a pretty solid, and entertaining romance. I love how Julie has created many different types of heroines with interesting careers, and how they fall for these superstar football heroes who are just finding their soul mate they can spend the rest of their lives with. Also, the love scenes are well written, and Daisy and Grant have great chemistry. The dialogue between these two is also very entertaining.

Intercepting Daisy was a fun romantic read. It delivered a story full of a few twists that immediately sucks you in and holds your attention.
Grant Parker plays for the sharks and he's supposed to be their token 'good guy', the player who isn't involved in scandals or known as a player, but the truth is, he's just better at hiding his escapades. So when Grant finds out an erotica book has been written with him as the main character, he's not quite sure what to do. Outside of dealing with that, Grant's also found himself in a new situation, trying to date a woman who is unlike all of his easy conquests of the past, one of the teams flight attendents, Daisy.
I liked Grant's character, he's not a sweet, innocent guy as some people believe, but he's also not the awful manwhore other sports players are made out to be, and he's honest. He also knows that he wants something more from Daisy, other than his usual hook ups, and he awkwardly figures out how to proceed.
Daisy's hiding a huge secret, she's the author of the erotica novel featuring none other than Grant Parker, and if that information comes out, a lot is at stake for her. But when Grant asks her out and the two get to know each other better, Daisy's scared for more than her job.
Daisy was such a fun character, she's funny, sweet, and loyal, but also a tad impulsive. She never expected her fantasy story to become so popular or grow so big, and she loves it, but also regrets hitting publish because she knows the truth has to come out.
I loved Grant and Daisy's interactions throughout the whole book, they really felt real and seemed to move fluidly showing thier growing bond. But both of them are keeping secrets, and when the truth comes out, can they work it out together or will everything they've been building implode?
Intercepting Daisy will grab your attention and leave you wondering what will happen when the secrets come out. The characters are fresh and fun and the story adds a different twist to the usual sports romance tale.

Daisy Spencer never set out with the intention of becoming a bestselling author, she was just looking for a way to express her deepest darkest fantasies, and it just so happen to spawn a really good story. Writing about hunky quarterback Grant Parker let her live out all her naughty dreams about him, with the hope that he would never find out who penned the story, let alone find out the story even existed. But with his star in the sports world shining a little brighter he is drawing the attention of the public, and before she knows it her naughty little story is front page news! In the mean time Grant takes a shine to her, and asks her out, now her faux relationship with him is about to collide with her real relationship with him, and she is certain it's not going to end pretty!! She knows the minute he finds out what she's done, he'll walk away... and she'll lose her chance to see if he lives up to all her crazy fantasies of him that are floating around in her mind!
Grant Parker's dream to be a starting quarterback in the NFL is about to come true, and he couldn't be more ecstatic, but with the big promotion comes more publicity, and he's worried all his dirty little secrets might be exposed. Everyone thinks he is a good boy with an impeccable image, but that couldn't be farther from the truth, he has wild tastes in the bedroom, and dabbles in things most would be appalled to learn. His agent assures him his secrets are safe, he just needs to do something to live up to the squeaky clean image he's created, and encourages him to find a good woman to date, and hopefully draw the attention of the public. He has the perfect woman in mind, now he just has to work-up the courage to ask her out, he knows a relationship with Daisy could be just what he needs, but he's afraid if she learns about the real man underneath the public image that she'll run the other direction. So he has to find a way to not let that happen... and prove to her he's worth the risk!
I have been dying to meet Grant for sometime now, and I have to say he was well worth the wait, Ms. Brannagh never ceases to amaze me with her writing talents, Grant and Daisy's story was nothing short of AMAZING!! From the moment I opened the book I was hooked, and before long I felt an addiction settle over me that I knew would not be satisfied until I had devoured every last page!
Barely a paragraph into it and I immediately felt myself being pulled into Daisy and Grant's world and completely entranced by every printed word. These two well crafted characters were definitely a match made in literary heaven, the chemistry they shared could be felt from their very first encounter, and continued to burn intently throughout the entire story... and it also help to create some very steamy encounters that left me blushing!! This series has been one of my all time favorite literary discoveries, and I have truly enjoyed meeting each and everyone of Ms. Brannagh's Seattle Sharks, each one has left an indelible impression on my heart and earned themselves a prestigious spot on my all time favorite book boyfriends list!! I can't wait to see what she has in store for us next!!
If you like your fairy tales a little on the spicy side and equipped with a smooth talking and oh so charming football players, then I HIGHLY recommend you meet the men of the Love and Football Series!! They are sure to score a special place in your heart and leave you highly satisfied!!

Everyone thinks he is a good boy with an impeccable image, but that couldn't be farther from the truth, he has wild tastes in the bedroom, and dabbles in things most would be appalled to learn. His agent assures him his secrets are safe, he just needs to do something to live up to the squeaky clean image he's created, and encourages him to find a good woman to date, and hopefully draw the attention of the public. He has the perfect woman in mind, now he just has to work-up the courage to ask her out, he knows a relationship with Daisy could be just what he needs, but he's afraid if she learns about the real man underneath the public image that she'll run the other direction. So he has to find a way to not let that happen... and prove to her he's worth the risk!
I have been dying to meet Grant for sometime now, and I have to say he was well worth the wait, Ms. Brannagh never ceases to amaze me with her writing talents, Grant and Daisy's story was nothing short of AMAZING!! From the moment I opened the book I was hooked, and before long I felt an addiction settle over me that I knew would not be satisfied until I had devoured every last page!
Barely a paragraph into it and I immediately felt myself being pulled into Daisy and Grant's world and completely entranced by every printed word. These two well crafted characters were definitely a match made in literary heaven, the chemistry they shared could be felt from their very first encounter, and continued to burn intently throughout the entire story... and it also help to create some very steamy encounters that left me blushing!! This series has been one of my all time favorite literary discoveries, and I have truly enjoyed meeting each and everyone of Ms. Brannagh's Seattle Sharks, each one has left an indelible impression on my heart and earned themselves a prestigious spot on my all time favorite book boyfriends list!! I can't wait to see what she has in store for us next!!
If you like your fairy tales a little on the spicy side and equipped with a smooth talking and oh so charming football players, then I HIGHLY recommend you meet the men of the Love and Football Series!! They are sure to score a special place in your heart and leave you highly satisfied!!

I have always enjoyed American football, I like to watch the games, and have my favorite teams, yet rarely have I stopped to think about what kind of life they live outside the field, about the pressure from peers, the team, the media, the fans, family, and friends. In Intercepting Daisy one journalist with a personal vendetta changes lives for many, and makes life rather uncomfortable for Daisy and Grant, both with their careers and with their personal lives.
I liked that the story had a balanced mix of the game and life outside of it. And that the life of a football player wasn't painted as dancing on the roses, but at least to me sounded rather realistic, stressful, and tense, trying to live up to everyone's expectations of themselves. Many of the ballplayers do charity work on their off time, and I was glad to see that given attention in the book.
Daisy and Grant are rather adorable in an awkward sort of way. They have an obvious connection, they enjoy each other's company, and they seem to understand and accept each other as they are. And when the conflict comes, the sadness each of them feels because of it was evident.
What I never was able to grasp was why would Daisy write and publish the erotica story with Grant's name and his picture on the cover, if she didn't want to get caught as an author and the book to get so much publicity.
I struggled a bit at the beginning of the book with Grant's attitude towards his parents and their faith, and the level of maturity both Daisy and Grant were proclaiming. But if you take the story as a young adult tale, maybe Grant and Daisy fits better to the expectations.
But as the story unfolded I got more and more into it, the characters grew on me, and I found myself rooting for them. It turned out to be a great football romance, mixing the game with conflicts on and off the field, as well as moments of joy, cheer, and accomplishments.

Grant Parker is a very private man, yet that doesn't stop him from dating Daisy Spencer. But when a reporter with a grudge sets her sights on the Seattle Sharks backup quarterback, determined to expose that Grant is just like the hero depicted in a sexy novel and reveal the name of the anonymous author, will Grant be able to handle the battle or will he lose the one person that has become important to him?
This is the first book I've read by this author, and I've got to say I was not disappointed. Right from the beginning, this book was engrossing, fast-paced and I loved the growing relationship between Grant and Daisy. The heroine's crush on the hero was a tiny bit endearing, and there was no doubt in my mind that it was going to get her in trouble further into the story.
I really liked both the main characters, and the dialogue had me flipping the pages quickly, determined to read what Grant and Daisy would go through to be together. Would the reporter destroy their growing relationship? How would Daisy's secret be revealed? What would happen to Grant when it came to his career, since he worked so hard to get onto the team he plays for? Moreover, the dialogue was a nice combination of intense and playful, and the teasing banter between Grant and Daisy when it comes to things he can't do because it may jeopardize his playing future had me smiling. Also, that teasing banter increases the sexual tension between the pair until eventually their chemistry spills over onto the pages in hot sex scenes.
Daisy is strong, brave and she goes through a lot in this book both personally and professionally. Indeed, she's lucky she has good friends and great parents; people that support her through ups and downs. While Grant, he really surprised me. He's hard-working and persistent when it comes to his career. Yet, what I liked most about him was how kind and caring he was, especially when it came to his charity work. He really cares about the kids he visits, and would do anything to make their days brighter.
Overall, Ms. Brannagh has penned a wonderful novel that ended really well in the way Grant won Daisy back and then what happened in the epilogue. I would recommend Intercepting Daisy, if you enjoy heroines with a crush on the hero before he realizes just how right she is for him.

Daisy is a flight attendant who loves to write. Her first self-published book just went live, it’s an erotic novella about the football player Grant Parker. She doesn’t expect it to be noticed, but it becomes an instant bestseller. It's a bit of a problem, because Daisy actually knows Grant. She’s met him several times at work. They are getting along surprisingly well and when Grant asks her on a date Daisy says yes immediately.
It’s important for his employer that Grant has an exceptional reputation. In his free time he likes to have one-night stands with women who are just looking for a good time, which isn’t something that would be appreciated by his bosses. Grant needs an image change and dating Daisy is the perfect way to achieve this. Only Daisy has a secret, what will happen when he finds out she’s written that smutty book about him?
Intercepting Daisy is a fun and sexy book. I immediately liked both of the main characters. Daisy is independent and confident. She’s a strong woman who knows what she wants. Grant is a bit of a player, but he’s looking for more than just one night this time. He’s a kind and caring guy with a good heart. He’s introverted and shy, which makes him absolutely adorable. I loved the chemistry between him and Daisy and hoped true love would make them overcome every obstacle they have on their way.
Julie Brannagh has a nice cheerful and flirty tone of voice. She knows how to write a good romantic story. I had a smile on my face most of the time when I was reading Intercepting Daisy. I liked her way of thinking and couldn’t wait to find out what would happen when the big secrets of the main characters would come out. It’s clear from the start there’s going to be trouble, which makes irresistible reading. Julie Brannag has chosen an interesting direction bringing an author of a steamy book and an athlete who’s being accused of man whoring together and I enjoyed reading every detail of her calamitous plot. Intercepting Daisy is a terrific romantic story filled with fascinating twists and turns that result in a wonderful sweet ending.

I was given this book for an honest review
2.5 stars
If you are looking for a book that is quick and has great characters in it, well this is it. This was a bit different from my everyday reads. Yes its about football and it has the romance part in it, but in all I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would. Daisy, is unique. She is a flight attendant for the football team and has an interesting pastime, writing steamy books about the backup quarterback. Now what I was frustrated about is how you can take a pic of a player write a story that is not true and then post it on Amazon without anyone's consent. It set me off at that point. Yes Daisy is smart, funny and very enjoyable to read about, but some of the things she does makes no sense to me. I don't understand when it came out and gave Grant so many problems why she didn't tell him either. The book dragged at that point for me. I enjoyed Grant. He was a player, but he wanted more from life, what Daisy did was awful, but the reporter was so scorned during this book he could have been an angel and she would have found something wrong. I think Grant was trying to make an impression with the team and when it was getting better for him everything came out. I'm just upset that he had to keep proving himself throughout the book even though he did what he was suppose to do on the field. I don't want to dwell on all the negative in the book, because I did like parts o fit. I loved the football wives, I think the interaction during the book was fun. The last chapter was sweet and enjoyed how it ended. I also loved how there was part of the story the dealt with the charity that Grant helped with. It shows I think in part what footballers really do. The help where they can.
Being in the eye of the media always sucks and you see that a lot with football. Sometimes it doesn't matter what you do on the field, because everyone want to see what your personal life has in store for us. This book shows how that can happen. Although this was not my favorite book, I do see the good in it. I liked the author and hope her the very best.

Julie Brannagh’s INTERCEPTING DAISY is an entertaining addition to the Love and Football Series. Shark’s flight attendant, Daisy Spencer, writes an erotic novella staring her favorite backup quarterback, Grant Parker, under a pen name. She doesn’t expect the book to end up on the best-seller list. Furthermore, she doesn’t expect Grant to ask her out and the subsequent guilt she feels from not telling him she authored the blockbuster he stars in. This contemporary sports romance primarily takes place in Seattle. It is suitable for adult audiences.
I enjoyed Grant’s character. He is the son of nationally known pastors. The Shark’s PR team portrays him as a sweet and saintly boy next door when dating, when, in reality, he is a one-night-stand kind of guy. That being said he is always upfront with the women he is with. I felt bad for him; he doesn’t have the best relationship with his parents. Plus, he doesn’t do anything wrong other than not actually play the part of the image the Shark’s PR team created for him. Quite honestly, I didn’t really think it was fair for the PR team to do that, but considering the circumstances that lead to it; it is understandable. Grant is a likeable character.
Daisy gets herself in a bind. She is a really nice person; that is a fun and hardworking flight attendant. She writes her fantasy and decides to publish it on Amazon. If she realized the ramifications, I doubt she would have done it. This story shows that even the nicest people make mistakes.
Reporter, Harley McHugh, caused some interesting controversy in the story. This also backs up my previous statement about nice people making mistakes (cough…Grant).
I love that the characters from the previous books are in this story. The Sharks are like a family and have a great bond.
INTERCEPTING DAISY was well-written and believable. The characters are likeable and credible. Julie Brannagh continues to do a great job with the Love and Football Series.

"Intercepting Daisy" by Julie Brannagh. I found this story to be a delightful tale. The two main characters find each other and find love despite not realizing that is what they wanted. Daisy, a flight attendant and author, is funny and kind. She's independent and hard working and loyal. Grant, a pro football player, is, of course, hunky and sexy and likes to play the field, both literally and figuratively. When they meet, they find that rare thing called love. I did enjoy this story but found, at times, the story seemed a bit choppy and didn't flow well. The connection between the two also seemed a bit off and not always that soul mate type of relationship. However, the other times that the connection was there, was thoroughly enjoyable. Ms. Brannagh did do a wonderful job of portraying the emotions the characters felt as both were dealing with some stressful stuff. I found I got a bit teary and my heart ached a bit for both when things got tough. The author also does an excellent job with descriptions - I found myself envisioning the scenes and believed I was right there with them. Not having read all of the previous books of the series, I wasn't sure who everyone was but that didn't take from the story itself. I would have liked to have seen a bit more background for some of the secondary characters since I didn't know them all. But is wasn't a major issue for me. Overall, this is a sweet, enjoyable tale that is a fairly quick read - just perfect for a brisk autumn day! (received copy for honest review)

I'm not entirely sure what the author was trying to do with this book but it didn't work for me. Grant bordered on ridiculous and tacky, and I found it impossible to engage with him. Daisy could have been an interesting character however everything about the publication of her "erotica" novel was unbelievable. 1) She'd never be able to use a photo of someone on a cover without permission, especially a football player. 2) She used him as the actual character making the book fan fiction. 3) I have NEVER seen fan fiction published like this and I think I'd drop dead if it made it to number 5 on Amazon's bestseller list. 4) Just... nope. Everything about this screamed 'unrealistic' to me. In a contemporary romance, I want to at least believe in what is happening. I also didn't buy into the "relationship" between the hero and heroine. Like Daisy says, he asks for her number, but why, when they've never really spoken to one another. Overall, I couldn't continue with this one. It was a DNF for me.

Posted on What I'm Reading
Where do I beginning with Intercepting Daisy? First off, Daisy is a flight attend for Sharks and she has a secret passion, writing. Well, she had written a steam story about Grant Parker. She may have gone about it the wrong way when she published the story, but it happen. I had a few issues with how Daisy went about this, and to the average reader it probably won't bother them. However, that is a minor detail compare to when she starts dating Grant. Grant is curious about who wrote this book about him. He's kind of turned on, but at the same time worried about his image. After all the guy he replaced was bad news to the Sharks and he doesn't want to lose his job, because his image might be tarnish.
Overall, I did find the story a cute read even with my little issue with Daisy's writing and how she went about publishing it. I have no problem with the self publishing, but it has to do with a few of the things that she did. I thought they were cute together. Looking for a cute quick read, Intercepting Daisy might be for you.

Emotional drawing? Highly dramatic? Nail biting intensity? Sorry if you are looking for this you must find another read. This was light hearted and entertaining. Daisy was an outgoing young woman that was a flight attendant for the team players on some flight. During her occasional interaction with the servicing of these flight she formed a crush on backup QB, Grant Parker. That crush turned into downright dirty fantasy material for her diary. That said diary turned in to a bestselling short story. That short story that put the backup QB in the headlines. Not so good.
Grant Parker never imagined that his sexual exploits would be published in a book for the masses to consume. He never guessed that this book would interfere in a promising relationship. Things have a way of changing and making it all work out.
I found this a light entertaining read. Highly predictable and enjoyable. When looking for a light, humorous read with a good outcome jump right into Intercepting Daisy.

I really liked this book. It was fun and entertaining and combined two things I really, really love: football and sexy writing. What’s not to love about that, right?
The characters were dynamic and engaging, and the storyline unique and well thought-out. I found myself smiling quite a bit while reading this book because not only did the story stand out, but so did the characters.
Charming, sexy, and fun, Intercepting Daisy is the perfect book to usher in Autumn. And if you’re like me and fall in love with this story world, it’s also the perfect book to make you snatch up all the other books in the Love and Football series, too.

I didn't love the description of this book and was trepidatious going into it. And it was fine. The erotic novel that Daisy wrote was mostly dealt with but Grant was kind of an alphahole.
Daisy is a flight attendant who often works on the Sharks' team plane. She has had a crush on backup QB for a long time and even wrote an erotic novel about him, not even bothering to change his name (really?). So when he asks her out, Daisy is ecstatic.
Grant needs a girlfriend. He is supposed to have this squeaky-clean image but the series of one-night stands he's been having aren't exactly in line with that image. So in come Daisy. Will he stand by the woman he's falling for when the truth comes out?

A stupid mistake makes life difficult for the one person she never meant to hurt. Julie Brannagh has written another great story. Grant is a back up quarterback & for some reason his team has him looking like the poster boy of a Christian church, when in fact he's not. Daisy is a flight attendant for the airline Grant's team uses. What he doesn't know is she's written a scorching novella about him with all her fantasies about him which is about to bring trouble into his life in the form of a jilted ex one night stand who is now a sports reporter. Wonderfully written with lots of humour & sadness in their journey to each other.

Not my cup of tea
Really did not find the plot of this story believable. Reminded me of a book I read by Rachel Gibson several years ago. That one was relatable. This one was not. It was hard to believe the heroine, the flight attendant, also wrote a smutty book about the hero. Way too farfetched and not in any way admirable. No relationship building in this one. I was turned off in the beginning and stayed that way as I endured this one

I love a good book. Daisy and Grant's story did not disappoint. It was cute and fun and I loved the scene with the difficult family on the flight and the preachers talk before the vows. Everything was so beautifully well written. Life is full of challenges and hardships, and Julie Brannagh always gives you a happy ending!! In life and in fiction we need more happy endings! Happy reading!

3.5 stars. It was really fun to get back into this series. I was going to reread the other books and start this one later, but I couldn't wait.
A pretty quick read and not a bad story. I think my rating suffers a little bit because my favorite book in the series was Chasing Julian which came out last year, so it's hard to live up to that.

Another win!!
As with all of Julie Brannagh's Love and Football series, I totally fell in love with the characters. Grant and Daisy are wonderful, as well as their storyline, but I think some of my favorite parts are when we get to hear from characters that we loved and read about in previous books.
