This was a fantastic sports/best friends little sister romance. It was steamy with a Touch Of the forbidden. Blaze and Gaia were steamy and sweet and so perfect for each other. This is a pretty short story so it’s a nice easy read.

A fantastic short story. It's instant attraction at first sight. I hope there is more with this couple down the road.

I just simply adored this book! It packed everything in one small package. It also has one of my favourite tropes as well, which made it so easy to fall in love with it!
Gaia and Blaze were hot together, and their chemistry was off the roof! And I just loved them as people as well!
Overall, a wonderful and steamy read. Highly recommended!

This was an amazing Insta-love novelette. You can feel the sparkle all around you while reading Gaia and Blaze's story. The pull of attraction, one single kiss, and fate's intervention in Venice bring you a great, smoking hot read.
If you like something short in between this is the right length to read. I enjoyed every single bit of it.

Blaze and Gaia are hot. There is the instant attraction with the longing to know more. I love how even after a heated kiss they cannot stop thinking about the other

A delightful little story. Gaia has a strong personality and a surety of purpose. Ends well with the potential of an HEA.
Easy-to-read. Entertaining. Romantic. Steamy. Unpredictable. Wonderful characters.
I received a review copy of this book from a third party. This is my honest review.

Gaia’s brother Luca played soccer in the USA and played for six-years. When he was on a team in Texas he was roommates with Blaze. Luca comes back home finally and Blaze gets picked up by the Milan team too. What could be better?
For Blaze? Meeting Gaia at the first home game changed him. When their eyes meet their lost. Now, Blaze has, game, but with Gaia, he wants to get to know her too. He sees she is the total package. He also knows she is his buddy’s sister too.
Walking the straight line will be tricky but Gaia wants her own line to walk. Checking online to know about Blaze proved fruitless. So, who’s Blaze? Is he a man she feels her heart says he is? This is a cute story of two hearts meeting and bonding for the first time ever for both.
They had a connection. Not sure why or how it happened it just does. But when they kiss sparks fly and they are willing to risk it all to be happy or at least try. Found this free on Amazon. I give this: 5 stars. Follow us at www.1rad-readerreviews.com.

Yassssss!! I love this story.
Sweet, sexy and super fun to read. Amazing characters, incredible plot and a HEA, what else do you need ?
A brother's best friend/sports romance, taking place in Italy with all the holidays feels. Giai and Blaze had the perfect chemistry, their attraction was insta perfection. We definitely need more of then.
Great start to the series!!

If your looking for a great short read I highly recommend Blaze and Gaia's story. This is the first book in the Christmas in Italy series.
Gaia owns a little store on the island of Venice in Italy its a book and trinkets store which I would love to visit.
Blaze is a professional soccer player from Texas but is currently playing for an Italian team. He is also the best friend and team mate of Gaia's older brother.
I loved this story. I do wish it was longer but I can't wait to read the next book Jersey Love.

Game On is a sweet, quick, steamy Insta-Love, brothers best friend, sports romance that will hit you with all the feels. Gaia and Blaze have a magnetic connection and you can see the steam coming off the pages with each interaction they have. This is a very fast paced story that can be read when you are looking for a romance to squeeze into your busy schedule and wanting to do a little world travel via a book. I want to take a trip to Venice now during the holidays to see the sites the author describes in the story. I enjoyed the quick get away this story provided.

Ok, insta-love is not my thing...however, insta-lust I am all for and that’s what I felt Blaze and Gaia’s was all about. I loved this quick and easy read that was part forbidden romance as Blaze is Gaia’s brother’s best friend and part sports romance. While their story was definitely a whirlwind it didn’t lack in the heat or sweetness department.

Blaze and Gaia . . .
This is Blaze and Gaia's story. Blaze, originally from Texas, is the best friend of Gaia’s brother Luca and plays soccer in Italy on an Italian team. When Blaze and Gaia meet after a game, they fall for each other. Tough decisions may have to be made. Will Luca have an objection to their romance? (It makes for some angst in a story, but once the sister reaches adulthood, big brother should have no more say in whether she dates his best friend or anyone else he knows. It is quite frankly none of his business at that point and he needs to get over it. And best friend Blaze should be strong enough to stand up to his friend and tell him so. If the friendship is strong, it is not going to fracture because two people fall in love.)

Awesome read, Gaia and Blaze narrate their points of view. She’s got a quirky book and trinket shop in Venice , he’s a Texan pro footballer playing in Italy. He’s also very good friends with her brother Luca who plays on the same team…. It’s Christmas, it’s close proximity romantic , they share a kiss is it game on or no goal for them? Read on the chemistry between them is ablaze ( sorry couldn’t resist the pun) A jolly good romance from the prolific pen of Britney Bell that is well written with good backstory and characters.

This was a cute, sweet romance. I really enjoyed how the characters came together. The way the story played out was really well put together. I love a good sports romance and this one was really good, I love a good soccer story and too top it it it’s her brothers best friend! They share a steamy kid and one thing leads to another and they both know they can’t be together but they also can’t deny how they feel about one another. Try his was great! I can’t wait to read another one.

A quick and steamy read about a soccer player and his best friend's younger sister. She was born, raised and living in Italy and he's recently transferred from Texas to Milan to play in their soccer league. When the two of them meet the sparks fly and a chance encounter months later leads to a promising romance. It leaves you with the promise that this couple will have a happily ever after, but I would have enjoyed a bit more of the story to see more of their struggles to work through the obstacles.

Blaze and Gaia's story is a fast sexy romance that warms your heart and ignites the pages. Blaze is from the Texas, but is playing in Italy on the same team as Gaia's brother.
When they meet, the sparks fly, but distance and family stand in the way. When Blaza is invited for Christmas, they both have to make a choice of what they want.
Good quick read.

I enjoyed this brother best friend story. Giai is a from Venice, when her and her parents go to watch her brother play soccer in Milan, it’s there she meets Blaze. Through their first eye contact you can tell it was love at first sight.
Britney is a new author to me and I’m looking forward to reading more.

Game on by Britney Bell is such a sweet ,swoony and steamy novella with so many of my all time favorite tropes entwined in what was such a fun story to read . Brothers best friend , sports romance, and insta love . Once you meet both Gaia and Blaze you are going to have such a hard time not falling in love with them .Blaze is a soccer player from Texas who is playing on a Italian soccer team , and Gaia is the little sister of Blazes best friend Luca . If you are a lover of feel good romance, filled with angst , off the charts chemistry, push and pull , witty banter , love second chances and many emotionally charged moments them look no further
