Playing Again
Arabella Smith knows from experience that football players are stubborn when they get injured, but Zeke Humphreys might be the one she can't help fix. Can she get her old school friend to listen to her, or will she find her task too complicated when she develops unexpected feelings for him?
Zeke Humphreys knows it all. He knows he needs to rest for a few days and then spend some time in the gym. He doesn't need a sports therapist; it's a complete waste of his time and hers. Well, that is until he realizes his old school friend makes his body hum with desire whenever she looks at him. Can he do what she asks to get his career back on track, or will he allow his strong feelings for her to get in the way?
Arabella and Zeke are about to learn that all the fun and games aren't just on the field. If you let yourself believe, it can happen in real life as well.
Playing Again by Anna Edwards is part of the Quick Snap Novella Collection and is tied to Kristen Proby's With Me In Seattle series through Will Montgomery and his football team.

Part of the Quick Snap Novella Collection and linked to Kristen Proby's With Me In Seattle series, Playing Again is a sweet, steamy second chance love story.
Zeke is battling to recover from injury before the Superbowl and is shocked when he finds his former high school sweetheart is now the doctor in charge of his recovery. Although they lost touch he's never forgotten Arabella and it becomes apparent very quickly that the spark is still there in a big way. Can she fix his hamstring and his heart? He's certainly hoping so!
This wasn't a long book, but I really enjoyed it, it was an easy, quick read. Although second chance their chemistry and love was pretty insta, but hot and it was a sweet, sexy reunion! I liked the banter between the teammates and their camaraderie on the field, they certainly didn't make things easy for the new girl! I liked both Zeke and Arabella, I'd have loved more about them and their backgrounds, but there was enough for a novella. I don't know a lot about American Football but I'm now intrigued to find out!
Rating 3.75 stars

I enjoyed this quick read romance. Arabella and Zeke's story had a good balance of fun and emotional. I loved the history between these two. I felt it really added some depth to this shorter length romance and made their tale more realistic. I found the characters exceedingly likable and their attraction and chemistry was easy to feel. I freely admit that this couple had me shipping them super hard. This is my elective, candid review.

Looking for a sexy, fun, second-chance sports romance, then this is most certainly for you. I love the connection between Zeke and Arabella and the beautiful tension of coming face to face with the one that got away again. Their banter is great, and the connection is oh so sexy!

Playing Again is part of a new novella collection tied to Kristen Proby's With Me In Seattle series and it is a great quick read.
I loved the characters in this story. Zeke plays for the Seattle football team and when his high school sweetheart is employed by the team as their sports medicine doctor, well let’s just say the chemistry between him and Arabella is even more potent after spending a few years apart.
This story shows Zeke with his team mates both on and off the field and I enjoyed the comradery between them. I loved witnessing Arabella interact with the team and also seeing her with the other player's wives and girlfriends too.
This is my first novella from the collection and I’m excited to see what the other author’s create for us. I award Playing Again 3.5 stars and what I would love to see in the future, if it ever becomes possible, is for the author to expand on this novella and write us Zeke and Arabella’s story as a full length novel.

Playing again was a quick read but it is a wonderful story of Zeke and Arabella who reconnect again after a few years apart. This was truly enjoyable and a believable story with great characters who shared so much chemistry I was shouting at the book for them to get together again. A feel good story that will drawn you in from the beginning. I wish there was more to read about them. I have read a couple of books by Anna Edwards and she is fast becoming one of my favourite authors. Congratulations on another great book
I received an arc copy and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

Playing Again by Anna Edwards is a sweet but steamy, second chance romance from the Quick Snap Novella collection.
Zeke and Arabella had a connection in high school, but lost touch when they started college. They're unexpectedly thrown back together after Zeke suffers an injury on the field and is sent to the team doctor, who is none other than Arabella. They've been given a second chance at what could've been, will they take it?
Playing Again was a quick read but gave the feel of a full length story. I loved following Zeke and Arabella on their second chance to find love.

I was pulled right into this super short story. The story has laughs, secrets, and heartbreak.
This is Arabella and Zeke‘s story. These two knew each other in school but now he is playing ball, and she is a sports therapist. She knows what he needs but he thinks he knows it all and ever thing he needs. Can they come to an agreement? Or will the chemistry between them get in the way?
I loved these characters and the side characters. I felt I could connect with the characters and the story was a great read.
I highly recommend this book.

I loved this second chance romance. This is a well written story that has characters that made the story pop. I had no problems connecting with them. This is an engaging story that is fast paced and kept me turning pages. I enjoyed watching Zeke and Anabella grow throughout the story. Their chemistry is great. I found myself hoping they would find their HEA. You will have to read to find out what happens with them. I highly recommend reading this sports romance story and this author's other books.

Arabella and Zeke were high school sweethearts but haven't seen each other in years. Now that she's the new sports medicine doctor for the same team where Zeke is playing the spark is ignited. Playing Again is a sweet, quick read and a great addition to the Quick Snap collection. This is my first novella from the Quick Snap collection and I can't wait to read the rest of them. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this novella.

This is a novella from Anna Edwards Quick Snap world, and the best way I can describe it is super hot. The chemistry between Zeke and Arabella is so hot, and my fantasies will now include a muscular football players with dreadlocks, thanks to Zeke. The story is fast paced, as it's a second chance romance, and the insta-lust is endearing and sexy. It made me want to read the other books in the series! Grab this one today and you will not be sorry!

What a book I absolutely loved this book. From the first to the last word I was hooked devouring every word. We get to catch up with Will Montgomery from the with me in Seattle series. Zeke and Arabella is a second chance sports romance. Having lost touch with each other they are both surprised to see each other when Zeke walks into the physio office at the Seattle football team grounds. What follows is an exciting fun loving love story.

I love that there’s no huge drama or drawn out separation or suspense in this story. This is a short and sweet second chance romance with some football action. Zeke and Arabella are sweet together but also hot. The chemistry is explosive and there are also some funny moments.

A second chance romance. Arabella and Zeke were high school sweethearts but lost touch in college. Now they both are working for Seattle football and it's like they were never apart. The feelings are strong. It's a great quick read! Loved getting more on Will and Meg too!!
October 14, 2020
Each of these books only takes a few hours to read so if you don’t have the time to sit down with a book one of these short stories is ideal. I started off with this book and enjoyed how they found each other after drifting apart after going to collage.

Zeke and Arabella were high school sweethearts, they lost touch when he went on to the NFL and she went to school to become a Sports PT. They find each other again when he gets injured in a game and she is his PT.
They work through a lot of things but in the end they find their HEA.

This story was awkward. The romance was rushed and forced. The sex scenes were....awkward and unnatural; who says those types of things in the heat of passion.
