SACKED
Aleatha Romig
Release Date: July 27
“Power, legacy, secrets, and emotional warfare… I ate it UP.” —Review
Second chance romance. Football dynasty. High-stakes betrayal.
My life, my career, my future—was built on the Hubbards’ legacy: honor, heritage, tradition.
Or so I believed.
Now it’s all falling apart.
The Coopers aren’t just a football team.
They’re power, secrets, and emotional warfare.
Under the bright lights of Crystal Light Stadium, the real game is finally clear.
This isn’t just about the Super Bowl—
It’s about protecting my family’s dynasty at any cost.
And this is when he walks back into my life.
The man from my past.
My biggest regret… and my greatest weakness.
He wants a second chance.
A place beside me in a game ruled by loyalty, lies, and betrayal.
But in this world, trust is a risk.
And desire is a liability.
Because what we share…
It’s explosive. Dangerous. Impossible to ignore.
And it might be the one thing that brings everything crashing down.
Because football isn’t just a game.
It’s power. It’s legacy. It’s survival.
And I’ll stop at nothing to keep it alive.

I kind of have this thing against rockstar romance. Which is not the genre it's more the person I imagine you would have to be to be anyone famous like that. And while I know it's my own bias it does jade the way I view the characters and it was a major factor for me reading this.
Because I instantly loved June. And I wanted to go find her ex and run him down with my car. And I feel like half of the residents of the bend would ride with me and the other half would have put in for petrol. On top of that you have her fractured family relationship, and I was relating so hard I felt like we were actually related.
Then along came Nash and he was so good with words but not getting his point of view made me wonder if he was just a beautiful wordsmith. Throw in his history and I wanted June to be cautious, so I kept waiting for the big gutting drama. And when it did arrive it was so human and not at all the soul crushing experience I expected and Nash stood up so perfectly and we got the tiniest bit of his point of view but enough to win me over.
And honestly it makes me think back to who this author is and the books of hers I've loved and wonder why I was expecting to be shattered. Because this story was awesome. The secondary characters were such actual characters and so well written I could actually picture them at the bar. I sincerely wish the epilogue was longer or, even better, that Charlie and Audrey or Angus get their own book at a later date and we can get a little more Nash and June.

We spent a decade in two different cities.
Chasing two different dreams.
And were supposed to be falling in love with two different people.
Only I never did.
He was busy becoming the NHL's newest superstar, while I was fighting to become one of the biggest names in professional soccer.
Now, after years spent convincing myself we could never work, it only takes one look, one searing kiss, and one forbidden night to unravel everything I thought I knew.
It also only takes one day to shatter it all.

But the more time I spend with Ares, the harder it becomes to ignore the way he looks at me.
Like I'm something precious.
Like I'm his.
Then my husband ends up dead. And suddenly other dangerous men are coming after me too.
Men who fear Ares Zervas.
Next, I’m married to him. Bearing his name. Wearing his ring. And sharing his bed in a fake marriage with benefits arrangement I fell into because I could no longer resist him.

I have been both dying to get my hands on this and super nervous to read it. Friends to lovers when they are older and one has been married with kids always has me expecting a lot of pining and an imbalance that's awkward and makes me either sad or stabby so I wasn't sure.
Especially since the breakdown of Archer's marriage wasn't particularly anyone's fault. So, it wasn't like we could hate his ex-wife and see how he needed consoling. So, when Sydney first packed up her life and went to help Archer I kind of thought she was an idiot. But as the story played out, I completely appreciated how she literally put her feelings aside and showed up as a friend. And the fact she was such a girl's girl, I couldn't fault her.
Which ordinarily would cast Archer in the role of the bad guy, but he just wasn't. He genuinely loved Syd, he just didn't want to cross that line, so he went about his life with her as his best friend and didn't realise she was wanting more. And it was nice that all the adults put the children first and acted like adults.
So, I guess, long story short I really shouldn't have worried because this author has never done us wrong and she nailed friends to lovers. I can't wait for the next book.
