The Long Game Audiobook Review
A woodsy small-town romance pairing a guarded girlboss with a former footballer who is better at caretaking than he expected.
A little more about the listen
The small-town setting gives the romance room to breathe, but the emotional centre is two people who have been running from their own disappointments. The former athlete and the guarded heroine are not reduced to their chemistry; their ambitions and recovery shape the way the relationship unfolds.
The listening experience
Frankie Corzo and Shane East make the dual viewpoints easy to settle into, with a warm contrast between guardedness and open-hearted charm. It is a good fit for listeners who like a romance to come with a place that feels worth returning to.
Best for
Listeners who want a small-town setting, caretaking energy, emotional healing, and a former-athlete hero.
The honest note
The sports element is part of the hero’s history rather than the constant centre of the plot, so choose this for the romance and setting first.
Worth considering for listeners who want a small-town setting, caretaking energy, emotional healing, and a former-athlete hero. The honest note is the deciding reservation to weigh before spending a credit: The sports element is part of the hero’s history rather than the constant centre of the plot, so choose this for the romance and setting first.
