Resumen del Editor

A forbidden, small town, sports romance from Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author Devney Perry.

A coach. A student. The rules were concrete. We broke them anyway.

The night I met Toren Greely was the night I learned how to lie. He was a Treasure State football coach. I was the star of the volleyball team. Coaches and students were forbidden. My future was on the line, so I told myself it was only one night.

That was the first lie. They got easier to tell after that. The lines blurred. The boundaries shifted. Our relationship became a game of its own.

A chaste smile. A knowing glance. A veiled touch or a hushed kiss. We hid in plain sight. We were invincible. Or so we thought. Neither of us saw the blitz coming until it was too late.

Game over. The night I left Toren Greely was the night I learned how to lose.

Review

Ugh I freaking love Toren!!!

He would do absolutely anything for Jensyn. I do wish we had more closure on Torens job status after Jensyn graduated.

Not DP’s best, but still worth the listen

This story had a wonderful premise, but was two hours too long! It just became a flat story until it picked up again. I love Devney Perry and I will still continue to love Devney Perry, but this was not her best.

perfect forbidden sports romance!

Blitz delivered at every turn! it has the small town Devney Perry charm we know and love with all the fun and excitement of a forbidden, sports romance. it was so easy to get sucked into their effortless and obvious chemistry, and you can’t help but root for them despite all the rules they’re breaking. it was the perfect balance of tension and sweetness. Jason Clarke & Vanessa Edwin brought these characters to life perfectly!

Cute story with fantastic narration!

Forbidden romance between a coach and a student without any of the ick. I liked how we see glimpses of the characters and story from the first book. I look forward to reading the third book.
Narration was fantastic.

Coach & Student Athlete🤭

Let me start with saying Jason & Vanessa are two of my favorites, & they did NOT disappoint here as Toren & Jennsyn! Loved how they brought these characters to life & portrayed their story!

Now for the book/audio:
Age gap? ✅
Forbidden Romance? ✅
Sneaking Around?✅

Toren & Jennsyn have that insane instant love/lust thing going for them, & after one night, neither can stay away, no matter how hard they try. I loved the angst throughout this one, both from what they are trying to fight & also Jennsyn’s inner struggle with her volleyball future.

Even when it’s wrong, they are just so right! I loved them & their journey to their happily ever after🫶🏻

Love this small-town sports romance in audio!

Give me all the volleyball romances because this former player now coach is here for it! Blitz by Devney Perry was a sweet and sentimental small-town sports romance that enraptured my heart from start to finish. I loved everything about Toren and Jennsyn’s football coach/ volleyball player romance that had the perfect touch of forbidden, age gap, and swoon! This is book two in Perry’s Treasure State Wildcats series.

Vanessa Edwin and Jason Clarke perform this audiobook in dual-style narration. This narrator duo could not have been more perfect to portray Jennsyn and Toren. Vanessa’s vibrant, expressive tone perfectly conveyed Jennsyn’s passionate and vulnerable persona as she finally put her true desires and ambitions first. Jason’s signature growly voice gave Toren depth, charm, and an allure that made him an absolute dream. Plus, both narrators bring the heat with Toren and Jennsyn’s undeniable chemistry.

Overall, I LOVED this book! If you are a fan of a small-town sports romance with a hot dedicated coach, a fiercely determined volleyball player, Fourth of July party meet-cutes, neighborly love, borrowing movies, night chats under the stars, cheering from the sidelines, an overbearing mom, forbidden steamy times, doing what makes you happy, creating new dreams, and a HEA that is sure to win your heart, then you will love Jennsyn and Toren’s story. I always look forward to more from Devney Perry.

They felt like they were meant to be

Blitz is the second book in the Treasure State Wildcats series. Toren and Jennsyn met on July 4 and had a one night stand. Then weeks later, they reunited at football coach and a student athlete. They tried to stay away, but eventually they started to sneak around and quietly dated as their relationship was forbidden by the college. The plot and pacing was well done, and romance was good. They felt like they were meant to be.

LOVED this!

I absolutely devoured this book! The age gap, the depth of the characters…Devney does it all PERFECTLY! The narration was absolutely brilliant. Vanessa was amazing and Jason, well he’s Jason and I can’t get enough!
I need more of Treasure State!!

Unexpectedly loved it

Toren Greely, one of the Treasure State football coaches, is having a 4th of July party. He was roped into hosting these a while ago when his neighborhood was pretty empty. Now, he's basically hosting a block party and he's done. Never again. Until he sees her - a tall, svelte blonde, barefoot in the grass. She smiles at him and he's a goner. When everyone leaves after the fireworks, he thinks she left too only to find her cleaning up. A smile, a touch, some nice banter and it all leads to a night with a woman who shook him to his core. So much so that he's afraid to call the number she left on a paper towel the next morning. She's a neighbor, he assumes, so they'll probably see each other around, but he needs to figure out how affected by her he is. Well, they do meet again, sooner than he expected, when he's introduced to the new volleyball star, a transfer from Stanford. There she is. A student. His career is over. 
I loved Coach and I was a little apprehensive with this one as it's one of the few things that give me an ick - student/teacher (coach/athlete) romance. Being a former teacher, they always make uncomfortable. However, Devney Perry writes this one in such a way that not only was I okay with it but I was rooting for Toren and Jennsyn. I was biting my nails hoping their secret affair is never found out, at least before she graduates. 
It's a lovely story. Jennsyn is 22, a senior and very mature. Toren is torn by the fact that she is younger and a student and their romance rings very true. A lot of it is because of the wonderful narration by Vanessa Edwin and Jason Clarke. Vanessa's voice conveys the vibrant and yet vulnerable spirit of young Jennsyn. Jason is charming, also vulnerable, making Toren an absolute dream. 
A lovely romance with forbidden moments, furtive glances, 80s movies, a loving aunt and cousins, a "dance mom" who wants what's best for her daughter, secret moonlight meetings and heartwarming HEA.  Loved it.
