The Story of Us Kindle Edition

4.5 for me. Good story and I love all things Italian, Well edited - nothing glaring to cause a hiccup in the flow of the story.Maggie writes sports for a men's magazine. She is assigned a story about Marco - a soccer superstar. She has rules, most notably no dating athletes. Marco is very reserved, sharing next to nothing about his personal life. How can Maggie write an article about a man who won't answer questions? And how exactly is she supposed to change his mind about retiring when she doesn't even like soccer? Maggie meets Marco before she knows he is Marco, and sparks fly. So much so, she kisses him in the heat of the moment. Surprise for both of them when they see each other at a press conference the next day. From there, they embark on a tug-of-war between their brains and their hearts. Which will come out the winner?Both characters are really likable. Marco keeps everything close to the vest, but he has depth of character that is quite touching. Really light, enjoyable read.

I loved Forever Rome! I cried in all the right places! I swooned. I sighed. I smiled!Brittney writes the tension, body language and tells between the main characters very well! I had a strong sense of both Maggie the journalist and Marco the athlete, and they were a blast to read and get to know.Marco is NOT your typical athlete. He surprised me, and I loved his quiet but endearing personality … and his accent! I could hear him speaking to me in Italian! Christo!The nerd that I am, I enjoyed the Superman references in the novel — star of the book, Maggie Lane (a nod to Lois), and even a sighting of The Man of Steel himself at a charity gala. Ahem…Ultimately though, it was the theme of Brittney's story that I carried with me long after the final page. I won't tell you what it is. Read. The. Book. Look inside... Trust me.

I absolutely loved this book. It was recommended to me by a friend and I AM NOT a sports person. The fact that it had to do with sports... I almost didn't read it. Turns out it was a fantastic book! The pace was nice and steady; I never got bored. Usually I am a really slow reader, but I literally was under the covers reading it so I wouldn't wake my spouse up with the light of my phone at the early morning hours. Could not put it down.Brittney immediately connects you with the characters and makes you fall in love with what the have. I loved Maggie's character and the respect she had for Marco. This book really takes you into the life of someone else and lets you walk in their shoes while finding the true meaning of all the little things in life and what is most important.

I don't like soccer and I loved this book! The book uses soccer as the background since the setting is in Rome and deals with a professional athlete. It was hard to put this book down when needed as the many layers to Marco were revealed. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a good romance with heartfelt characters and a well written story.

I loved Maggie and Marco! Brittney has done it again. I love her alpha males, they are everything you could want in a man. Marco is this macho athlete that breaks the stereotypical male in that role. He's hot, strong and yet vulnerable. He's dedicated to his profession until it comes to his family and children. You can't help but fall in love with him as you read about his life.Maggie is a sports writer with walls up about ever dating an athlete. Marco slowly breaks down her barriers. The more she learns about him, the more she falls for him and she no longer wants to do a story on him, at least not how she was hired to do. Maggie is funny with her one-liners and her thoughts.Both of these characters were very will written and I highly recommend this book, like all of Brittney Sahin's books.

Marco & Maggie's love story- wow!. they are both amazing. Feel in love with both of them. My emotions were all over the place. Brittney sure has a way of making sure you feel the emotions as the characters in the book - breathtaking - amazing job Brittney!

Great book! I totally devoured this one. I absolutely love Marco & Maggie!

I loved this! Being a Brittney Sahin book, I thought I knew what would happen and I was completely wrong! Lol This was simply wonderful and the sexual tension in this story is off the charts! This woman CAN WRITE!

Half way through and still waiting for something to happen, so far it has only been the heroine in Italy trying to get an interview with Marco and fighting an attraction to him.The whole book seems to be a on/off relationship, family secrets, cheating or not with a fair amount of angst, so much so that I got to the point where I don't care if the H&h get together or not. The supporting cast interest me more! It does eventually get to a HEA.There are some spelling, punctuation and grammar errors e.g. write/right but not enough to be a deal breaker.

It was such a nice relaxing love story thank you for giving me many hours of great and interesting reading

I don't usually read sports romances but because I love everything Brittney writes, of course I was going to read this. This did not have the usual suspence like most of Brittney's books but, that didn't matter. It did not disappoint and I loved this love story! I loved that it took place in Rome and it really made me wish I could drop everything in my life and fly somewhere and meet my Marco! Though Maggie and Marco's relationship was put to the test multiple times, it made it feel realistic. I loved the other couples in the story as well and was rooting for everyone to find their happy ending. Though football was an important aspect for the characters; Marco being a player and Maggie being a sports journalist. I didn't feel like I was reading so much about the sport that it was overkill, which is what I always worry about with sports romances and why I don't normally read them! I also loved the guest appearances from other Brittney books. Another Brittney book to put in the reread pile!

Highly recommended for a light evening read..Ms. Sahin did a great job on the book! Little bit cheesy at places but then romance is always cheesy that's what makes it a hit💕

Nice book to read on a holiday. Liked the characters and the story. Though the end was a bit far fetched.
