game plan- adriana locke

published 9/16/26

I received my ARC of Game Plan on Sunday night around 9 p.m. I was in bed reading by 9:09 p.m., so ready for Poppy and Finn’s story. Finn and Poppy are BFF’s with a side of serious benefits (spice, spice baby). Poppy is fine with the arrangement, but Finn wants more, unbeknownst to her. Poppy keeps a few secrets at bay, especially when it comes to romantic relationships she normally shies away from. Finn, the senior NFL football player and super famous, gives an interview to an outlet where he says it would be better to tell people he’s “engaged” instead of being America’s most eligible bachelor. If you enjoy stories with romantic tension, secrets, and a touch of celebrity drama, this book delivers.
Well, one thing leads to another, and the headline breaks that Finn is engaged, but before he can call the outlet to complain, his agent has him hold off because he’s suddenly besieged with endorsement offers. Deciding this might play to his advantage and give him a shot at REALLY romancing Poppy, he talks her into becoming his fake fiancée, knowing it’s definitely not fake on his side.

Poppy takes the bait and their ‘fake relationship’ hits the world. But hidden secrets threaten the happiness Poppy has found with Finn. Finn is determined to make this relationship feel real and safe for Poppy at all costs, showing his deep commitment and emotional growth. How far will a man go for the woman he believes is the one for him? Make your Game Plan right now to grab this book for your next book club read. It’s perfect for football season and will keep football fans entertained with swoon-worthy moments at just the right times.

As always, Adriana Locke gives us incredible backstories, a found family, amazing character development, and humorous, romantic banter that makes the story fun and engaging. It’s no wonder I stayed up until the last word last night.

Thank you to the amazing Adriana Locke and Umbrella Publishing for the chance to read this book ahead of its release.
