The Playmaker (Big Play #1) by Jordan Ford
This is an awesome début for Jordan Ford - it has everything here that a Young Adult Contemporary Romance should have. Tori and Colt are both fantastic characters, with enough quirks to make them interesting and 'real'. Of course, the miscommunication and confusion lead to some amazing scenes, that will make you laugh and wince at the same time.

Well-written, with no editing or grammatical errors that I could see, this book was a delight to read from the first page to the last. I loved the different characters and situations that were brought into it. I honestly can't wait for more! Absolutely and definitely recommended.

Something new is being written, and I wanted to introduce it here first. 😁

Only in Fairy Tales is a contemporary romance set in Monmouth, a small Welsh border town where the castle ruins are free to enter, the river runs past a medieval gatehouse, and history sits in the stone of everything. A story about a woman who has quietly, without drama or bitterness, stopped expecting love. A man who, from the moment he sees her, pays attention in a way that doesn’t leave him much choice about where it leads.

It's a slow-burning story; a patient one. Set against Welsh border landscapes, old stones, and the particular atmosphere of a place that knows what it is.

I started writing it this week. I'll be sharing the journey here as it unfolds; the setting, the characters, the world of the book, without spoilers, but with enough to give you a feel for what's coming.

Only in Fairy Tales — 2026.
