A sweet sports romance for fans of happily-ever-afters.

I really like this author and this book did not disappoint! There was a plot twist near the beginning that made the book so much more interesting.
Two things that made me not give it 5 stars - one, the spiritual element was lacking for me, and two, the ending, while happy, was a bit abrupt. It could have used another chapter of resolving all the issues before the epilogue.
Very cute story about all things football. Samantha and Wiley Black clash on the field as owner and coach. But more is heating up because the attraction results in a touchdown! Laugh out loud moments as they spar and compete in drag races with their trucks and a donut eating contest. Ms. Lowe writes great characters and great comedy. Fans of football will thoroughly enjoy this book. Faith is the underpinning. I especially liked the scripture verse on the wall of the tunnel from the field to the locker room. *I purchased this ebook from Amazon. All opinions are my own.*
Romance, clean; Christian faith elements Gorgeous read. Loved the professional football setting and backstory. I loved the honest, hurting hearts and the secrets, the buildup to who Samantha is, her care and concern for football, her team, and her grounds made for some fun, cute moments, and of course, the chemistry was incredible as always. Wiley's backstory, and the way the Sam introduces it, as we gradually find out what she already knows and her passion about the sport, is a fun addition to this story. T. I. Lowe is fast becoming one of my favorite go-to reads. I rarely re-read anything, and have re-read her novels. This will be one I am sure I will turn back and read again.
Cute story and a quick read. Some parts felt abrupt and there were a few places where I reread it a few times and still couldn't figure out what was happening, but the fast pace of the story made up for it.
T.I. Lowe has succeeded in The Reversal in doing what most authors cannot - making a novella feel like a full-length novel. The characters had enough depth to feel real, and the sports analogies were superb. I enjoyed the twists and turns, along with watching Sam really come into her own. Wiley Black is fantastically written, making him easy to fall for right along with the heroine. I will likely never hear the word "peach" again without momentarily thinking of one memorable scene. This author has made it to my "always read" list.
Any Given Moment by T.I. Lowe book review. Rating: 5/5 stars ✨
Accomplished reading this in one day too!!!
This book stands at 129 pages, is a super quick and super lighthearted read, and it kept me interested throughout the whole book. T.I. Lowe does clean Christian romance novels SO WELL, I love every single book I read of hers. This book is about Sam (Samantha) Shaw, who is the head Groundskeeper and co-owner of Cooper Stadium, and Wiley Black, a former Pro-football player turned head coach. The flirting and the sass, the funny remarks, and the serious moments were all so perfect. And the fact is, to be a book (or novella) about football… I’m not a football fan in the least, and this was the first sports romance novel I’ve read and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Even though I know NOTHING about it.
Ten out of ten, would recommend!
I’m definitely trying to make my way through reading all of her books, cause she writes them so well, and I love how faith-based they are. It’s a bonus that they’re set in the south. ☺️😆
As a fan of football, ANY GIVEN MOMENT is a pure joy to read! I love it! This sweet, romantic story is just sachery sweet enough to not be overwhelming. I adore these characters of Harper and Wiley. T.I. Lowe is an amazing story-teller, and I keep getting sucked into her books and reading them in one sitting! I can't seem to help it! I promise myself that I'm only going to read for a few minutes or just one chapter, but I end up reading the whole book in one sitting! LOL! My favorite part of ANY GIVEN MOMENT is when Harper and Willey fall asleep together on the football field. Someone HAS to be tired to be able to sleep on the ground all night like that! I can't wait for the next book on my list, ORANGE BLOSSOM CAFE!
I absolutely loved how this book started. The unique setting immediately grabbed my attention. When I found out who the main character really was, I got even more intrigued. It all fell apart after that. The main character and Wiley just start to get romantic, and the author literally skips ahead several months to them being in a relationship. Why wouldn't the author have teased that relationship and built some tension/longing?! Eventually, they come to a disagreement in their relationship, and the author skips ahead another several months to where it has been smoothed over and they go right back to happy. This story had so much potential, and so does the author, if you go by the witty banter, but this felt like the author got tired of writing and skipped over huge chunks at a time.
When I started reading Any Given Moment, I had my doubts that this would be my kind of book. I WAS TERRIBLY WRONG!!! At the very beginning it captured my attention and didn't let go until the end. I really enjoyed reading and love this book. Unique characters and a thrilling storyline gives an amazing book written by a wonderful author. This is my first book to read by Author T.I. Lowe. I highly recommend reading Any Given Moment.
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book. This review is one hundred percent my opinion.
I love the enemy-to-lovers trope. This was a sweet football romance. I don't care for football, but this cute love story certainly made me appreciate it more. I love Sam's independence and how she wanted to make her own way. The only thing that turned me off of the story was how Wiley sometimes manhandled Sam and stole kisses from her.
~Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, & let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. -Hebrews 12:1
Thoroughly enjoyed this story. Loved the characters. Sam's sass was filled with wit and humour and her personality full of life and fun. It was great the way the main characters worked through their differences with love and respect always winning out. Being an Aussie I don't understand all the game references but the book was so well written it didn't matter. I'll definitely read more from this author.
It took me a minute to get into, but I ended up really liking the dynamic between the main characters. Playful sass and flirting but with a sweetness and just the right seriousness to really want the main couple to make it. Fun football backdrop to the story, too.
I started reading this because it was recommended by a friend and the story did not disappoint! If you like football, romance, and humor this book is for you! Of course, I'm not much on football, but I still really enjoyed Any Given Moment! And there's a fun music playlist at the end!
Certainly not my favorite from the author... I adored the 2 previous reads from this author (Lulu's cafe, goodbyes and second chances) I didn't like this book at all I didn't expect I'd be giving a review like this Whatever, the romance didn't click at all for me.. i felt there is something always lacking
Any time I read a book by T.I. Lowe, I know I will have a reason to smile. This was a fun novella. If you enjoy the game of football, this is a sweet romance that still includes plenty of the game. I loved all of the unexpected connections between the management, staff, coaches and even players. I highly recommend this novella!
T. I. Lowe had me laughing out loud. It’s a good love story infused with sports. The two both managed to reconcile their differences, recognizing that they were both stubborn.
Live each moment to the fullest, because at any given moment, it could be your last. T.I. Lowe strikes again with this fun quick read . . . Character development intriguing and captivating plot twists FUN Arms up TD
I’m not even a football fan (I have nothing against it, I’m just not into it), but this romance was just so stinkin adorable! The main characters were fantastic, and I loved the other characters too. The story was sweet. Definitely a rereader book.
