Meet Graham Tettersaw, former star quarterback. He blew his first shot at success, but now he has a second chance at playing football . . . and at having a life.
Graham’s not about to squander this new opportunity with a rising team. No way. They’re about to make his dreams come true, even If they did just add a weird clause that he’s supposed to pretend some random chick is his girlfriend.
Whatever.
Teams can be weird about stuff. But Graham can play along. After all, it’s all about forward progress.
In football, getting the ball down the field and scoring is goal number one. Life isn’t all that much different. That’s why Graham is hoping to do some scoring of his own off the field. Especially when he finds out the pretend girlfriend the team has picked out for him, Eden Vetterly, is beyond hot.
But it’s not all about sex.
Graham really likes Eden.
And she likes him too—a lot.
Too bad the team just changed all the rules.
Forward Progress is the first book in the new Men of Fall series, where football meets romance.

This was a first read for me by Ms Grey. I was pleasantly surprised and hooked quickly. Who doesn’t love a quirky sports romance?
Graham royally messed up his football career. Now he has a second chance to be signed to a team, but they are asking him to pretend to be someone’s live-in boyfriend. The catch is, she is a total stranger.
Eden is a waitress that is supporting her teenage brother. It’s tough making ends meet but then she is offered a deal she can’t resist. Who wouldn’t want to play house with the sexy Graham Tettersaw? I mean, what could go wrong?
This story had a good flow to it. It was kind of on the long side but a great way to start the series. For the most part it was light and had an airy feeling to it. I loved having both of the perspectives and I absolutely loved the chemistry between Graham and Eden. I just thought there was something missing…I can’t put my finger on it though. All around it was a solid book and I enjoyed reading it. Would I recommend it; YES!!

“You want me to do what?”
Irritated, I grab a water from the mini-fridge, take a swig, and slam the bottle down on the table in the middle of the living room of the hotel suite I’m in.
“You’re fucking crazy, Jock,” I sneer.
“It wasn’t my idea, Graham,” he replies, unfazed by my outburst as he sits quietly on the sofa.
“I told you the added stipulation in the new contract the Comets are offering was completely new to me too.”
“It’s fucking loco is what it is,” I grumble.
It’s true. This latest development in contract negotiations is truly nuts. They want me to pretend to have a fake girlfriend.
Are they off their rockers?
“How’s this even supposed to work?” I ask.
“We’re hammering out the details.”
“Great. Do I at least get to meet this mystery woman before I sign?”
“No. There’s no time for that. You will meet her, though, before the season begins.”
“Whatever,” I huff. “I can’t believe I’m supposed to pretend to be dating a girl I’ve never even seen. To top it off, I get to meet her just once, then I’m expected to act as if we’re in a serious relationship.”
“Pretty much,” Jock confirms.
This is bad, but there’s something more I’m struggling with—I’m supposed to also fucking move in with this pretend girlfriend.
Could it get any worse?
