About this eBook

I want to.

I can’t.

 I’ve been friends with Cooper Rice from the moment we met. He was just as famous a decade ago on our college campus as he is now being the star quarterback for the Chicago Grizzlies.

 But he’s not only talented on the field, he’s also the gorgeous football star women fawn over, posing in underwear and razor ads.

 Here’s a secret those women don’t know—Cooper Rice isn’t a playboy. He’s the kind of man who wants to settle down with a family. He’s content ordering pizza and massaging my feet after my long shift as an emergency room doctor. He listens to me as if he’s as invested as I am in my patients. He has never let me down.

 This is exactly why I refuse to live without Cooper in my life. Eight years ago, I made him promise me that we’d never cross that line. And just like I knew Cooper would, he’s held to that promise.

 Despite our best efforts, our relationship is evolving, shifting into new territory and I find myself unsure if I want Cooper to keep that promise. Ignoring the obvious could tear us apart, but so could giving in, meaning there’s a chance I’ll lose Cooper forever no matter what decision I make. 

 

Ratings and reviews

Audio/eBook Review: I’m really not sure where to start and even if my review can do this amazing story justice. So I guess I just need to say that I loved everything about this book and for me Something Like Love (Chicago Grizzlies #3) a perfect addition to one of my favourite football series. Cooper and Ellory aka Elle have been best friends since their college days but after one fateful night way back when, neither have wanted to risk their friendship by crossing the line.

Piper Rayne have outdone themselves with Something LIke Love, and that's really saying something considering how many terrific couples they've written. Cooper and Ellery are so good together, and their romance is super swoony. Cooper is an absolute sweetheart. I love how independent Ellery is even when she can't get out of her own way. The friendship between Cooper and Ellery is so sweet, and the way they act toward and about each other shows how deep their feelings run well before they get to the point of saying it, If course. there's gotta be some angst, and it's not hard to see where it's gonna come from, That didn't stop me from wanting to shake the daylights out of both of them - I'd have been happy if a couple of their friends would've done it for me. Instead, we had to take the emotional route, but you know what? Even that was exactly as it should be. I'll stop there before I give too much away and just say this is one more must-read in a whole long list of must reads.

Friends to lovers is a beautiful trope and Piper Rayne delivered a more than perfect one in Something Like Love. Ellery and Cooper's emotional rollercoaster has everything that makes me swoon and fall hard! The sweet connection and easy bonding of two best friends. The slow build up of Something more potent and breathtaking beyond just friendship. The tension and the angst of the road from friendship to love. Something Like Love has everything and then some more. Like the amazing bromance and found family. Like the right kind of adrenaline rush of sports romance. I cannot get enough of this story. I reviewed an early copy voluntarily
