The Wrong Quarterback

The Wrong Player Series, Book 1

By: C.R. Jane

Narrated by: Lucas Webley, Alexis Paige

A star quarterback plays for keeps in the first book of a seductive dark-romance series from the USA Today–bestselling author of The Pucking Wrong Number.

Two years ago an accident shattered Casey's world. Now, college promises a new beginning, a chance to truly breathe again and leave her past behind—with the exception of Gray Andrews. Through it all, Gray has been her lifeline, her hope for a happy future, the only guy she's ever wanted. Until she sees him . . .

Parker Davis is everyone's fantasy. He's a star football player, painfully good-looking, and charming as sin. Casey more than understands his appeal. What she doesn't get is why the Tennessee Tigers quarterback is interested in a quiet freshman nerd like her. But for whatever reason, Parker wants Casey to be his girl. He says she's his endgame, and he's not taking no for an answer.

Casey thought she knew who and what she wanted, but now Parker has smashed her reality all over again. She knows she should be wary of his intense focus on her, but instead she's starting to crave it. And as the line between attraction and obsession begins to blur, Casey finds herself falling for the completely wrong guy.

Narrated in duet style.

Love this continuation series

Love this continuation of The Pucking Wrong Series. It is so funny to see the same “Circle of Trust” his brother is a part of play out in this story. This narrators do a great job to bring the story to life. They make it so easy to imagine everything the characters are doing. I cannot wait for the second book to come out as an audiobook.

Loved !!

Couldn’t get enough!!! Need Jace and matty now !! Who doesn’t love some crazy ! The narrators did amazing!

Dark romance and humor

The dark romance was on point and the humor was amazing. I like that the lead man was not a bully, just obsessed.

Steamy

The male voice was just the right amount of southern. And both voices were used during the narration.

Exciting and Funny

Parker and Casey’s story was so much fun! Just like his big brother Walker and his friend’s circle of trust, he’s a tad unhinged when he meets Casey. I was here for it all! I really loved Parker and he’s stalker ways it almost came across an adorable and funny to be honest. I was grinning the whole time. Casey was a sweet h, but I prefer my FMCs to have more sass or fight. She just kind of went along with things. But it was a really fun read. All of these guys are so freaking ridiculous and I adore them! I’m really excited for Jace’s story, he’s a total goofball with the best dad jokes!

MIKE DROP!! A 4.5 star read!!!

Freaking loved this book like no other!! C. R. Jane is a genius, a mastermind, an artist, a magician, a queen!
As always, the story was gripping full of possessive, alpha heat, steam love and intrigue. And I cannot forget all of the laughter, the laughing out loud was out of control and real folks!
I love finally getting Parker story after meeting him and the other series with the Disney, Walker. I’m assuming Cole story is gonna be coming at some point but right now I’m enjoying the college years with Parker. He was not necessarily as psychopathic as his brother and the others and the other books, but he sure held his own as far as the crazy possessiveness went.
Then we have our h, Casey. I fell in love with her, literally from the prologue. I felt for her, and I wanted to be her friend as well. Her story was so gripping and heartbreaking that I was totally rooting for her HEA. She had been through some things in her life and she totally deserve to be happy. There was a part in this book, but it was actually with Parker and his mother, that almost made me cry. I was listening at that point and the narrator Lucas Webley, almost had me bawling like a baby sitting in traffic at a stoplight with the car next to me looking at me like I’d lost my marbles. I completely had to pause and take it back up after I got done with what I was doing because I knew I was going to cry. No spoilers here! But I did cry.
The other narrator Alexis Paige did an amazing job as always as well. She really brought Casey to life and added another dimension to the story.
All in all, I loved this as I knew I would. C. R. Jane cannot write anything that I won’t love. I’ve literally been excited to get my hands on everything that she’s ever written. I can’t wait to hear Jason story hoping that comes out soon!!

Solid start to the spin off series.

Okay, let me preface this with the fact that I adore CR Jane and her writing style. The Pucking Wrong series and the Rich Demons of Darkwood co-authored with May Dawson, were unhinged in the best ways. This book is kind of light on the unhinged part and that was a little disappointing. I do think it is a solid start to the new series though. I would say that maybe it was because of it being young adults in college, but ahem... clears throat, Rich demons of Darkwood. Seriously unhinged and delicious. Read it is you don't mind why choose and suspense with your brewing romance. Definitely enemies to lovers, but I digress.

Now, let's talk about the narration. Alexis Paige is fantastic. She knows how to act and it shows. She really feels the part and sinks herself into it. She has become one of my one click purchase narrators. 5 stars all the way.

Lucas Webley. Sigh... Where do I start? While he does have a nice voice, his acting in this book is very stiff and weirdly punctuated. It was a lot of "I. ran. onto. the field. It. was. a. great. feeling." Very distracting. Now, while I know it is hard to compete with Troy Duran, Lucas should be able to produce a more smooth and believable character. The accent was cringy and I kept realizing that he was reading me a book. Very sad since readers immerse themselves into a story for a little escapism from the daily grind. At least that is my goal. That being said, I hope Lucas sees this and takes it as constructive criticism. He could be great if there was more emotion applied. I really wish Troy would be doing series this as well, considering the crossover elements with some of the characters we know and love from the Pucking Wrong series. Rating; two stars.

Overall:

Story: 4 stars.
Alexis: 5 stars.
Lucas: 2 stars.

Like I said, a very solid start to the spin off series and I will continue to indulge. It just may be in book form if the stilted, weird narration of the male characters continues.

Absolutely LOVE an unhinged 🚩 BOOK boyfriend!!!

I had already 👀 read this book last month, but knew when the audio was released I’d have to give it a listen. And I am NOT sorry I did! Alexis Paige was amazing as usual and Lucas Webley brought Parker Davis to life just perfectly!!! 10/10 recommend!!!

Parker Davis: Quarterbacking His Way into My Favorite Book Boyfriends List

I absolutely devoured The Wrong Quarterback by C.R. Jane! The seamless transition from the hockey world to football was a delightful surprise, offering a fresh yet familiar vibe. The camaraderie among the characters was heartwarming, and the banter between the guys had me laughing out loud—such a highlight! However, I did feel that the male characters bore a striking resemblance to those in the hockey series; a bit more distinction would have been appreciated. Overall, a fantastic read that kept me thoroughly entertained!

Casey, the female main character, is a quiet freshman navigating her new college life after a tragic accident. Her journey from vulnerability to strength is both relatable and inspiring. Parker Davis, the star quarterback, is everyone’s fantasy—painfully good-looking and charming as sin. His relentless pursuit of Casey, declaring her as his “endgame,” adds an intense dynamic to the story. 

I’m also eagerly anticipating Jace Thatcher’s story in The Wrong Play!
