    About this audiobook

    A sapphic rivals to lovers rom com for fans of Ted Lasso and A League of Their Own, where two soccer teammates are at odds before falling in love as their team gears up for the World Cup.

    Grace Henderson has been a star of the US Women’s National Team for ten years, even though she’s only 26. But when she’s sidelined with an injury, a bold new upstart, Phoebe Matthews, takes her spot. 22-year-old Phoebe is everything Grace isn’t—a gregarious jokester who plays with a joy that Grace lost somewhere along the way. The last thing Grace expects is to become teammates with benefits with this class clown she sees as her rival.

    Phoebe Matthews is too focused on her first season as a professional soccer player to think about seducing her longtime idol. But when Grace ends up making the first move, they can’t keep their hands off of each other.

    As the World Cup approaches and Grace works her way back from injury, a miscommunication leaves the women with hilariously different perspectives on their relationship. But they’re on the same page on the field, realizing they can play together instead of vying for the same position. With every tackle the tension between them grows, and both players soon have to decide what's more important—being together or making the roster.

    The perfect blend of funny and steamy, Meryl Wilsner’s Cleat Cute is about being brave enough to win on and off the field.

    A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

      The voice narration in this is not very good / didn’t fit the characters well i’d suggest reading it in print instead it might have improved the experience
    • 4/5
      Cute with typical misunderstandings between the main characters. I liked the energy from Phoebe and Grace's dignity.
    • 5/5
      I can’t wait for the tv show to come out! It’s very sapphic!

    • 4/5
      One star minus for the derogatory comment on women's right activists and the fact that you can't read a lesbian romance without the mentioning that they are oh so trans inclusive... The romance itself is sweet and hot.
