The Toughest Play (Silverbacks Football Book 1) Kindle Edition
My new role as the social media content manager for the Silverbacks is a dream come true—except for my ex being the team’s quarterback.
Then there’s Rogan O’Rourke, the backup QB with the smoldering blue gaze and irresistible smile—who’s proving to be an unexpected complication.
Although he’s battling for the starting spot on the field, it seems he’s also vying for my attention. His flirtatious advances feel like a game I can’t win, and he’s doing his best to turn my life upside down.
But I’m on a mission to keep my career on track and steer clear of any romantic drama… especially with another football player.
And resisting Rogan?
That’s proving to be the toughest, and most tempting, play of all.

The supporting cast truly shines, especially the best friend we all dream of having—loyal, hilarious, and always ready to lend a helping hand or crack a joke at just the right moment. The camaraderie among the characters adds layers of warmth and humor, making this story feel like a touchdown on every page.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2024I absolutely love this book. It’s one of those books that sucks in and keeps me on the edge of my seat. I love the chemistry between Rogan and Autumn. It’s so realistic and fun and the way they both have their own unique personalities that go together. They both finally have their happy ending.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2024Not my favorite style of writing, but the story was interesting. Rogan was super sweet. A lot of conversations told the story and it felt blocky at times. Good details about football.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2024Once again like always, Jacob delivered another good story. Rogan gets his story told, and we get a whole new team! Autumn is an amazing woman, who takes her time, but doesn't completely miss opportunities thanks to her friend. We also get new characters, we get to see Maeve and Niall again too. I loved the banter between Rogan and Autumn. I also liked that the conflict wasn't super huge either(will have to read to know what it is).
- Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2024Jacob did this story justice. Absolutely loved Rogan and Autumn, it was a sweet, sexy romance that grabbed you from start to finish. It was a slow burn that had compassion, friendship and so much more. They were the perfect couple. A fun read that makes you want more.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2024Rogan and Autumn are so fun together! The fact that she is the grumpy one makes him even more lovable in my eyes. Lots of fun banter, plenty of action on and off the field and great secondary characters made this a great start for a new series. Jacob never disappoints and I highly enjoyed and recommend!

4.0 out of 5 stars Sweet and funny
The Toughtest play is sweet and funny, a perfect feel good book to lose yourself in and forget about your everyday life. The reverse grumpy/sunshine has a nice ring to it.
- VivienReviewed in the United Kingdom on October 7, 2024
5.0 out of 5 stars Throwing for the win at love!
When Autumn gets the role of social media person at the Silverbacks football team, she knows her ex is a quarterback there but what she doesn't expect is to fall for the back up quarterback, Rogan. The chemistry between them is hot and the banter fierce. The more time they spend together, the more they fall. Can this relationship be the one or is it just a for now experience?
Oh Jacob, this was such a great read and the characters were perfect for each other. Can't wait to read the next one!
- Mawgan DippleReviewed in the United Kingdom on March 3, 2025
4.0 out of 5 stars She's the grump
This was a light-hearted romance where autumn didn't want to repeat the same mistakes as she had in her previous relationship and wanted to concentrate on her new job. Rowan only wanted a chance to be in the number one spot on the team, but when autumn catches his eye. Great banter between friends and this couple.
