When a wronged bride and an NFL quarterback find themselves sharing the same Hawaiian vacation, a no-strings, just-for-fun encounter quickly becomes unforgettable in this warm-hearted, extra spicy football romance for fans of Sarah Adams, Tessa Bailey, Monica Murphy, Kristen Callihan, and Lucy Score.
Iris Benedetto’s wedding day just went viral . . . for all the wrong reasons.
After a heated blowout with her lying, cheating fiancé at the altar, Iris storms off on a solo honeymoon—loudly announcing that she’s finally going to find out what good sex is all about. Rebranding from small-town preschool teacher to #Horny Runaway Bride was not the plan, but the insanely hot stranger who ends up double-booked in her bungalow on the island of Kauai is an opportunity even devastated Iris can’t ignore.
It’s not often NFL quarterback Roman Maguire meets someone who doesn’t recognize him. Even rarer to have that someone barge in while he’s taking a shower and quickly make him an irresistible offer. Roman is in Hawaii to secure the deal that could finally land him a Super Bowl ring—and closer proximity to his son. A sexy fling in paradise is a perfect way to spend a week with a surprise roommate . . .
Except . . . suddenly a week doesn’t seem nearly enough. And once the truth about Roman’s identity, Iris’s internet infamy, and all kinds of loyalty-testing secrets are revealed, will they both be willing to step into the real-life spotlight together?

After Iris learns that the man she is supposed to marry has been keeping secrets, the relationship wrecking kind, she decides to call off the wedding and exact a little revenge while doing it. She has invested so much of her time and love into their relationship and he was investing his time elsewhere. Which is quite disheartening and feels like something she'll never heal from...she needs an break, a little time to heal. So, with a honeymoon ticket still waiting to be used, she decides why not...
Chasing the Ring comes brimming with steam, laughs, and a whole lot of heart! When Iris wanders into her vacation bungalow she never expects to find a hot hunky football waiting for her in the shower, it's a surprise neither saw coming, but very much welcome. What happens after is a pleasant surprise for both of them, since neither was really looking for anything other than a break from life and some sand between their toes.
From beginning to end this wonderfully penned romance hit all the right notes. It's words left my heart soaring and put an unshakable smile on my face. I loved my time with these characters and I look forward to more titles in the series! Highly recommend!!
