First Touch (Manchester Athletic Book 4) Kindle Edition
I figured it wouldn't be dissimilar in a relationship, only even though I was one of Manchester Athletic's star players, I didn't actually know for sure.
I'd never had a girlfriend.
I'd never, you know -scored.
I trained, I joked with my teammates, I helped my mum out with my cousins who she was bringing up. I was studying for a degree, even though it was going to take me years to get it. I hung around at Kitty's café.
The coffee was good, but coffee wasn't my thing.
Kitty was.
And I think she could be the one.
First Touch is a 12,000 word novella in the Manchester Athletic series.

They cross paths alot since Nicky helps her alot at the Cafe. But when Nicky tells her a big secret Kitty offers to help him. What will happen when they embark on a different path than friends?
- Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2022If you have read any of the Manchester Athletic you would know that Nicky Price-Jones has an unrequited longing for Kitty Carruthers who owns the café that the team knows that can serve food that fits their nutritionists plan. But can Nicky finally do more than hang out and write his papers for the degree he’s working on?
- Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2022Omg. The spice in this short novela!! Annie!!! I have loved the three prior books in this series. This one is short, but the heat is there. I do wish Nick & Kit had a more developed book, like a couple chapters. But I loved the tie in with the next one. I can’t wait for more of this series.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2022This friends to lovers short novella is a change of pace, lots of spice, and just everything nice. I loved how strong the heroine was. The steamy scenes will melt you. I love Nick & Kitty.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2022I absolutely love this series and this was a perfect novella. So well done with emotions and hot heat! I’m so glad to see how they found their way to each other!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2023Nicky and Kitty's story was a nice treat to an already beyond brilliant all the feels everything and more series.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2022This is Nick and Kitty’s short love story. I remember he’s a sweet guy, one of the younger players in the team. She’s the owner of the cafe where they all visit, hang out and eat their nutritionist-approved foods. They’ve been friends for a long time until one day things change with a friends-with-benefits arrangement. Wow! It’s awesome. I wish it had been a full-length book only to get to know Kitty better because she is feisty and fun! Loved it!!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2022I read Target Man first and saw the outskirts of Nicky and Kitty, but going and reading their story was so fun and hot. Their story was easy to read and was well written for being a novella.
While I think this book could be read as a standalone, I do find the story to be much stronger coming off of Target Man

5.0 out of 5 stars A lovely short read
A short and sweet novella for Nicky and Kitty. They have known each other for years, he sits studying in her cafe whilst she stands behind the counter serving people. Talking one evening he lets his secret out, 23 years old and still holding his V-card. How will the woman he has fantasised about react?

5.0 out of 5 stars An offer he couldn't refuse.
Nicky and Kitty were friends for years. But when Nicky told her his secret they became the teacher and the student. Then things got very hot and steamy very quickly. This was a lovely quick read, I really enjoyed it.
