Description
One wrong number. Two stubborn hearts. And a whole lot of texts in between.
Scarlett Simmons apologizes for everything. For existing, for speaking up, for accidentally dousing grumpy British football managers in scalding coffee. Her therapist says it's a problem. Her ex said she was "too much." So when she lands in Manchester to resurrect England's worst football club from PR hell, she's determined to be less... herself.
Except she can't seem to stop clashing with Theo Ross, the club's infuriatingly proper manager who wears ties like armor and treats her American optimism like a personal offense. He's all cool professionalism and withering glances. She's all big ideas and nervous necklace-fiddling. They're a disaster.
But then there's the mystery man she's been texting since she landed. A wrong number that turned into late-night conversations, random questions about eye color and neckties, and a connection so easy it makes her forget to apologize. With him, she's not too much. She's exactly enough.
As the football season heats up and the stakes get higher, Scarlett finds herself caught between the job that could make her career and the feelings that could break her heart. Because sometimes the most complicated plays happen off the field.

This book was like a cup of coffee. It warms you up but also keeps you hooked. I loved the characters, the tension, but what was most surprising was that this book made me not mind football after hating it for so long. It actually made it seem interesting as you get a look into behind the scenes.
Thank you to net galley, Matilda Madison and Honey Blossom Press for allowing me to receive an ARC in exchange for my honest review

Thank you to Honey Blossom Press for the advance reader copy of Text Me Maybe by Matilda Madison! I’m loving the books by Honey Blossom Press!
In Text Me Maybe, Scarlett has just arrived in the city of Manchester for her new role with a football club that needs PR help. Upon landing, she ends up texting a wrong number and suddenly the unknown person on the other end becomes a texting companion. Trying to accomplish the goals set out for her at her job, Scarlett also tries to navigate her working relationship with the football manager, Theo.
I absolutely adored so much about this book. The soccer setting, the workplace romance, the chemistry in the main pair’s texting relationship. There’s a moment in the story when these two play soccer against each other and the scene is everything - a favorite of mine from the book. This, along with another scene that involves football kits. I was engaged with this story from the moment I started it and it kept such a great pace all the way to the end. I enjoyed how the story played out and the eventual revelation.
