Outside Blitz

Texas Tornados #2

by Britney Bell

Contemporary sports romance author Britney Bell brings you a fun, light-hearted, short story with a smokin' hot Texas Tornados football player.

Zane

No matter how many years I play professional football with the Texas Tornados, the city life doesn’t change my heart. I will always be that Texas guy who’s learned the value of getting my hands dirty with hard work on the farm, and I’m finally able to bring a piece of the farm to the city. Some people may look at this old truck as a piece of junk, but for me, it’s the memories that are embedded in each dent, scratch and chip to its paint.

Lily

It’s a good thing that the family business is my passion. The hours I put in at work do not allow for much of a social life. With the responsibility of the business currently being solely on my shoulders, there’s no room to even think about dating.

See what happens with two busy people, one old truck and a highway of endless possibilities.

Small and mighty read! I adored Zane and Lily and how an object set the common ground for them to meet and create a bond. This is a short story with all the feels!

[Nicole Chu · Rating 5 out of 5]

Omg this story was so short and I need more Zane and Lily! I love how she loves what she does! The story of the truck was the best. Even had a little drama! Now I need more!

[Ebonie · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely loved this short story from Zane and Lily - my only complaint is that it wasn't long enough! I wanted more!
This story packs quite a lot of emotion, drama, and steam into such a short book, which was awesome. I loved the story behind the truck, I loved the chemistry between Zane and Lily, I just loved it all. If you've got a few minutes and are looking for a great storyline, definitely read this book.

Thanks to the author for an advanced copy of this novella. What a great addition to this series!

Lovely introduction to the series. 

Fast with attraction filled short story leaving you wanting for more. When the sparks fly you can almost feel them around you.  

Lilly works in a car body shop that got Zane's truck to restore. She loves to do just that, giving older cars some  TLC. 
And this car means a lot to him because of its past. Is the truck the connection they were looking for? 

With a little twist and just the right amount of hotness. I loved every word and can't wait for more.

This short little story has all the feels and emotion packed in this novella. Zane is a good country boy, who just happens to play professional football and Lily is the unexpected lady mechanic who loves what she does, bringing life back to vintage cars. Loved the instant sparks between this couple, storyline was fantastic and fun. Definitely a must read and looking forward to the rest of this series.

I am voluntarily leaving a review for this book that I received free.

Oh my goodness! I adored Lily and Zane! This was a fun quick read that really grabs you!

Zane has an old truck that belonged to his Dad that means so much too him but it needs a lot of work.

Lily, along with her brother runs and owns her Dad's old body shop.

Sparks fly instantly when these two meet!

Looking forward to the next novella in the series

I loved this short story of Zane and Lily. I especially love the stories that come with the truck Zane has dropped off for restorations. There is an instant attraction and calmness that surrounds Lily and Zane. My only complaint is I want more. I wish there was more.

[Summerlynn83_reads · Rating 4 out of 5]

I zoomed through this novella! Although it was short it covered all the bases with a sweet and sexy football player, a feisty and cute girl next door type and the nostalgia from an old family truck that has stories that brings tears to your eyes. It’s just one of those stories that makes you do a little happy dance.

[Christine · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed this sweet story. My only complaint is that is was too short! Just when I got into the book, it was over. While this is a short story, I want you to be aware that it IS A SHORT STORY, lol. You can literally read Outside Blitz in about 30 minutes. I have recently discovered this author about seven months ago and already read a handful of her books since. I truly enjoy her writing style. In addition, I appreciated how she created a well-rounded story in under 40 pages. Even though I wanted more of Zane and Lily, I felt the author gave enough that I enjoyed the book. Another great aspect with reading this short story is that it steered me toward Britney Bell's Texas Tornados series. I've already got book one waiting on my Kindle and can't wait to dig in. Hopefully I'll get to see a bit more of Zane and Lily. If you are looking for something very quick to read with heart and emotion and an old truck that holds many memories with a few sweet stories to go with it, I recommend this little gem.

This is my honest and unbiased review and I appreciate you taking the time to read it. Thank you! :)

This may be a short story but it definitely packs a bunch .

They say opposites attract, and that is definitely the case for Zane and Lily.

Zane is a well know athlete , he plays for the Texas Tornados.
Lily runs her families mechanic shop.

Sparks fly off the page when these two meet .

Great read

[Katslovesbooks · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a short but great story!!! I need more !!!

Zane and Lily’s chemistry was instant and their connection was super hot and fun. Both of them are not looking for a relationship but as soon as they see each other they just need more from one another.

This story was the perfect sweet, cute read that was an amazing beginning to the series.

[Jennifer D. · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved Zane and Lily's story! It is super sweet with the perfect amount of sexy. I was sucked in from the beginning and wasn't ready for it to end! The perfect summer romance!

[Rebecca · Rating 4 out of 5]

A sweet, down home romance that leaves you wanting more. I can’t wait to continue reading this series.

[Jenn the Readaholic · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed the quick read of this short story. Lily and Zane had chemistry from jump and let their shared love of a certain vehicle be the reason they start hanging out together. And Zane proves just how much he cares by saving the day when Lily needs him most.

[Sarah_Loves_Reading_Romance · Rating 4 out of 5]

I loved my first Britney Bell book, a short and sugary sweet introduction to the Texas Tornadoes. I loved both Zane and Lily, though their story was pretty limited so we don’t get much info on them, they were both fun, strong characters and I’m looking forward to the next book.

[Britney Bell]

Zane and Lily are two people who wouldn't normally be together, yet through a connection with a common thread of passion for an object, they are brought together. Their story was great fun to write, and I'm excited to write more in this series and see where the Texas Tornados go.

[Angie Todd · Rating 4 out of 5]

“Outside Blitz” is the story of Zane and Lily. This is a fast read that’s as sweet as Momma’s sweet tea on a hot sunny day! What brings them together first off is the connection that builds their common interests. Would love to read more of Zane and Lily. ~Angie❤️

[Misty · Rating 5 out of 5]

The story is too short! I want more.
I loved this. Zane is such a great guy I can't get enough. Lily and Zane together are hot and adorable. I love all of Britney Bell's books.

[Karen Sedgman · Rating 5 out of 5]

Something' 'Bout a Truck that's what l'm talking about! Loved Zane and Lily! This was short with drama, but had heat and passion with this story! My only wish was more of these two!

Outside Blitz is a prequel novella in the Texas Tornadoes series. It’s a fast read about a football player, his old truck and the gorgeous mechanic who is fixing it up. Throw in a shady character and Outside Blitz sucks you into the story. Outside Blitz is a quick and fun read that’s great for a relaxing evening.

I received this book for free. This is my honest and voluntary review.

[Anelise | 2kidsandagoodbook · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a cute short story about a pro football player and the woman who runs the body shop that is restoring his old truck from his childhood. Once they have that first connection the chemistry is off the charts. What started as a on the fly saying they were in a relationship to get someone to back off turned into both Zane and Lily enjoying each other’s company and looking forward to it.

[Kylee · Rating 5 out of 5]

Outside Blitz is a novella in the Texas Tornados series that might be short but this seriously sweet romance has you enchanted right from the very first page. Zane and Lily have an instant chemistry that you feel radiating off the pages. Their story is fun, flirty with a side of heat and steam with just enough drama to have you captivated as these two take a journey to love.

[Isabel Debono · Rating 4 out of 5]

What a sweet little read! Zane and Lily’s story was adorable and was the perfect summer novella!

[reader_dreamer_4life · Rating 5 out of 5]

Britney Bell proves that good things can come in small packages. Outside Blitz is a short but sweet contemporary romance story that manages to pack in a whole lot of emotion, a little bit of action, and some serious sizzling chemistry. This sweet insta love story between famous football player Zane and Mechanic Lily will warm your heart while proving opposites can truly attract.

[Curvy Girl Book Nerd (Jen S) · Rating 5 out of 5]

Outside Blitz is Book 2 of the Texas Tornados series. It's a short and steamy, instalove, OTT, girl gets her football player romance. Lily is a young and sassy mechanic. Zane is a burly, hunky, defensive end for the pro football team, the Texas Tornados. When his parents decide to retire and sell the family farm, Zane gets his Dad's old truck that holds lots of special memories for him. He ends up taking it to Lily's shop to be restored, and the two bond over the truck and spend a lot of time together. Love blooms. Their chemistry is pure fire, and we end on a happy note. This was a great short and spicy read.

Zane and Lily had sparks from their first meeting that didn’t take long to explode. I’m so glad that jerk Bob got his for thinking he could just take what he wanted!! So not cool! Quick read that I wish was longer...
