A Sweet Football Romance with Christian Themes


She refused to date a playboy, but would she accept his job offer?


Katie Kennedy admired football player, Tucker Jackson, from afar, but she never imagined she’d run into him at the popular restaurant she worked at. He was gorgeous, wild, and completely off limits. After dealing with unstable parents, she was determined to find a man who met her standard of “safe.”


As a wide receiver for the Georgia Patriots, Tucker received plenty of attention, but he was tired of the media blasting him for being a player, thus earning him the reputation, “the playboy patriot.” He wanted to settle down one day but wouldn’t let anyone steamroll him into a commitment he wasn’t ready for.


When a friendship developed that neither of them expected, along with more sparks than they knew what to do with, something changed between them.


If they’d foreseen the explosion their relationship would cause in the media, they might have thought twice about their actions.


Then again, Tucker was never one to back down from a challenge.


*This is a contemporary Christian story with strong Biblical themes and Bible references.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Evangeline Kelly is the pen name I use to write contemporary Christian romance books. I married my husband (my perfect bad boy hero) in my early forties so I understand the longings of a single woman desiring love, as well as the contentment and sweetness of marriage.

And now, a little bit about me. When I was a kid, I had two dreams. One was to work with at risk youth and the other was to write books. After pursuing my passion of working with foster children for over twenty years, I finally decided to pursue my childhood dream of writing. My grandma kept all of my short stories in a box as a keepsake, and I read them occasionally when I need a good laugh. Not only do I love to write, I enjoy the pleasure of sitting down with a good book. I’ve always said that a good book is way better than any movie or television show!

I’ve witnessed suffering in my line of work, but I’ve also witnessed God’s redeeming love. A good Christian romance features both hardship and delight. My hope is that my stories not only entertain, but encourage, and most of all, that they bring glory and honor to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Who would have thought Katie would get to know a famous football player? An extremely handsome one, at that! Even though I don’t think anything like this would happen in my own world, I found the story to be enjoyable, believable, and full of fresh-air.

The Playboy Patriot (A Georgia Patriot Romance)--G
Violence: no
Language: nothing offensive
Sex: no

Just because this wasn't my favorite genre, doesn't mean I will mark it down. For what it is, I like it very much. The hero is flawed, the heroine has a past, and God helps them through it all. I felt the religious aspect was very heavy handed. I do not like to be quoted scripture and have it discussed. I would go to Bible study for that. I did love the meet-cute, the big misunderstanding, and the resolution. The romance was smoldering, but clean.

Love this book… I love how Tucker stood by her and showed her what really love is from a Christian man. I hope she writes more about his teammates in the future.

The Playboy Patriot is one of those books that I know I will re-read as soon as I have reached the end! Ms. Kelly has written a well crafted romance with very human characters. Tucker suffered when his brother was killed. Katie suffered because of her parents life style. Through faith both have turned their lives around. Tucker hires Katie as his house manager. The dialog is outstanding. Katie's replies to the pick up lines are awesome. The plot has many ups and downs, twists and turns, before moving on to an HEA. I could not put this book down. If you like clean, sweet, Christian romance with real characters and great dialogue, you will not want to miss this book!

You painted the picture of two young people who had struggles within their past that influenced the present. It was reasonable for both to be cautious as a result.
Yet their faith in Jesus drew them together in a wholesome way that caused each person to grow into a more Whole and loving person. I was concerned that you would have let Katie s secret become a wedge between them when it was revealed in the public arena, but was very pleased with the way you had them handle the situation. It showed Christian maturity. So often a writer will use an antagonist to divide a coup!e and you just shake your head and wonder why the main character would even listen to the words of a person who hates them? It's a great way to draw out your book length but so frustrating as a reader.
I also greatly enjoy the Scripture you use in your stories that renews my faith as well as the characters.
You offer a clear view of the Christian life,not perfect but one that seek the hand of God in all events.
Way to go, girl. Another winner!

I could not turn the pages fast enough.

The Playboy Patriot was a great Sweet Romance.

Author Evangeline Kelly gives the reader a good read without language or bedroom scenes.

The characters are Christians and have/had a strong faith.

Although Tucker is a believer he struggled and made mistakes that he feels he needs to make up for.

Slowing down the Playboy lifestyle and finding a lasting relationship seem to be a good goal especially when he meets Katie and is smitten.

Katie's had her own struggles with the past and the choices her parents made that Katie feels still affect her life several years later.

I loved the way Tucker handled finding out about Katie's parents.

I also enjoyed Tucker's sister and her sneaky way of Match Making.

It was refreshing that Tucker and Katie managed to get their Happy Ever After without a bunch of drama.

I have read several books by Evangeline Kelly and will happily read any that I get the chance to add to my library.

I purchased my copy on Amazon.

My review will appear on my Amazon and Good Reads.

It's a while since I have read one of Evangeline's books, and had forgotten the pleasant, warm feeling her stories leave, and this story was no different. Katie and Tucker were a sweet couple made for one another. Their friends were decent and offered support when it was needed, more so Katie's friends. 'LL' The blogger was a witch and Tucker had let her get away with the things she said and her comeuppance was a long time coming, to be sure, but all ended well in the end, and I would thoroughly recommend this
book.
