Fortune Parker is the star wide receiver for the Miami Matrix and his coach has one rule for his players:
Don’t date my daughter.
As the public relations manager for the team, Lea Sterling’s entire job revolves around covering up the players’ darkest, dirtiest secrets with the press. She never minded that her dad set a precedent with his players to keep them away… until the day Fortune signed with the team.
It’s been nearly four years since then, and while the two of them haven’t talked much at work, they’ve spent hours messaging behind hidden identities.
Then, one night changes everything. And the only question is whether they should stay away from each other until his contract is up at the end of the season or risk ruining their careers?

The Silent Count is a full length romance that ends in a happily ever after. While it can be read as a standalone, it is recommended to read the first two books in the series as this book contains spoilers and has a partially overlapping timeline with The Red Zone.

5 Stars! PLEASE, CAN I HAVE FORTUNE? PLEAEE 😊???
It didn't need to take two days to finish this book because it was that excellent. I passed out yesterday when I was on the second-to-last page. The other day, I was overflowing with homework. These are my entirely legitimate excuses. I'll get to the point now.
Lea is a natural leader, which is her best quality. Her keeping the team organized and trying her best to ensure everyone is on the same page is what makes her an excellent leader. She has a knack for delegating tasks and motivating others to give their best effort. She also has to take care of the team's image, which is hard, especially when she is the coach's daughter.
Fortune is a skilled player who is also the quietest person on the team. Despite his quiet nature, Fortune's skills on the field speak volumes. His ability to read the game and make precise passes makes him an invaluable asset to the team (this is me assuming based on some context). While he may not be the most vocal player, his actions and dedication inspire his teammates to step up their game.
Overall, Lea and Fortune complement each other so perfectly that my heart broke in the process, but it's well since they are adorable together. Now read this damn book people :)!!

What a beautiful way to end the series ❤️
This was so cute how it started off. Lea being a Boss @$$ B and not being afraid of the many men in the locker room that she has to deal with as not only as the coach’s daughter but the PR extraordinaire for the Matrix. What started off as pen pals for 3 and 1/2 years lead to later them transforming that into a friendship/attraction in person where they had a wild night in the back of Fortune’s SUV. Talk about hot! 🥵 little did they know that they both knew they were messaging each other but didn’t know if the other knew about it. It was a mess and honestly made this more funny because like hello revealing secrets and gathering information without thinking the other person knows who you are. Such a good idea! I was scared there for a moment when Fortune’s dad found out about them and was gonna let that slip and be petty towards his son. Anyways such a great way to end the series and I just loved the friend group’s dynamic. 🫶🏼 -
This was a nice feel good book. I’m glad Fortune and Lea got their happy ending. The whole them being pen pals thing for years was super cute as well.

i really wanted to like this, but i just couldn’t.
i didn’t read the blurb before starting this book (that’s on me), so i didn’t know going in that it was going to be a ~coach’s daughter~ trope. the fact that a woman’s father (or brother) would think that he should have ANY say in who she dates is so gross to me. there’s a line from the MMC in this book about “not respecting the boundaries” created by the FMC’s dad. why the fuck is the FMC setting HIS DAUGHTER’S boundaries? 🙄
while i did like both of the main characters + the pen pal plot, i couldn’t get over the characters’ insistence on letting the FMC’s dad control his daughter’s dating life. this trope is officially not for me. -
Story 4/5
Spice 3/5
The Silent Count is book 3/3(???) of the The League series. This entire series is super cute. I always recommend Meg Reading for readers looking to get into the spicy sports romance world. These characters were so cute and fit so well in the world of The League. I appreciate that the "I have a secret" trope didn't bring down the momentum that the main characters had built. They approached the problem like REAL people and REAL adults in a REAL relationship. It nice to read two fully developed characters who could communicate and not get in their own way. And did I mention my very favorite part??? NO 3rd ACT BREAK UP. Overall-cute, quick read, and I really enjoy this series. -
A quick and easy read. This friends to lovers book was adorable. Fortune and Lea were perfect for each other, even in the very beginning. It was so funny that they were under the impression neither of them knew who the other was in their pen pal situation. The way they found out about each other was so funny. It just slipped out. There were also some spicy scenes, but I didn’t feel like it was too much, or like it overshadowed the plot. I also liked how supportive her dad ended up being. The two of them were expecting to be yelled at, and Fortune relight he’d be kicked off the team, but that didn’t happen at all. It was the opposite. He was just upset that Lea felt like she couldn’t tell him.

I really liked the first two books but this one wasn't as good. Everything was very fast paced and I felt like many of the more important scenes were either very short cut or not even in the book. The book only had 200 pages or so and I think that is the reason why I just didn't like it. It had so much potential and I think if Meg had written a hundred pages more, the book would've been great. I really liked the dynamic between Lea and Fortune and would've loved to see more of them. The same goes for Lea's dad.

this is amaazzz, love this book, its soo good, almost a little short like i want so much of them, i wish it had more texting between lucky charm and ladybug in it. loveddd that they both knew it was the other, that is so much better than the one sided knowing and the heartbreak it causes.
love that the trio is finally completed with significant others, love as well fortune and abels friendship
just love, thanks meg for this gem🧡 the long wait was worth it🐞 -
4 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I have loved The League series and the way different characters were introduced, had their stories and helped in others. The thread of the coach telling the players to stay away from his daughter, the PR manager, and this player being besotted was a nice through line in the series. I wish this book was longer, everything was there but more detail and side chats with the girls and guys would have been nice. -
Cute
I love this series so much. I wish we had seen some more of what went on towards the end with Fortunes dad, but all up it was a really good read. I felt faster than the other books and kind of like there was stuff missing, I wanted to know more, hence the four stars instead of five. Definitely read this series in order! -
A short read, it helped wrapped up the trio in this series. It had a lot of troupes, office romance, pen pals, he falls first and falls harder, coach's daughter, etc. My only big issue was a personal pet peeve in that I hated that they called the football league "The League" often and conversationally, it was a little too dramatic. Overall, a light and easy read.

3.5 ⭐️
I love the first two books of this series & I love Lea and Fortune!! but…. this book was definitely not as good as the first two. it was sweet but like I feel like we missed out on them falling in love?? I felt like we just jumped right into it. and the major conflict like wasn’t even major. but overall still a great read! -
This felt very rushed and the storyline was nowhere near as developed or interesting as the other books in this series, I wish they'd taken a bit more time before pushing out another in the series to make this book feel as good as the others and a good conclusion to the series
-
Pen pals- secret crushes- player and couch daughter - he falls first - no 3rd act breakup
I loved it ❤️ the perfect romance book to read as a medicine after a horrible book🙌
Loved both characters and their story🤩
An easy read, Non toxic , spicy 🌶️🌶️🌶️ and so damn sweet 🥰❤️
i recommend 💯 -
This book is too cute. There’s not a lot of spice but the storyline is fast paced and keeps the pages turning. This is the type of book you read to get out of a rut or if you need an easy romance after a long book.
-
2.5* - bit of a disappointing read after the first two books were so good. I think one reason why I didn’t like this book as much was because it seemed a bit like insta love vibes so that also links into the fact I didn’t feel connected to the couple.
-
I really enjoyed the other books in this series and was really anticipating this one, but it fell a bit short. There were times I felt like the vibes from the other books came through, but this story felt a bit rushed.
-
3.5!! This book is a sweet and short pallet-cleansing sports romance! I loved the tropes in this book, but I felt like it was very rushed with not a lot of depth. It was still a great romance and I loved Fortune and Lea and how sweet their story was. Overall a quick and easy football romance!
-
I loved this book. I dont really start/finish a book in a day. But with this book i did.
-
4.5⭐️ but I rounded up because it was just so cute I could die
-
3.75 ⭐️
-
It was so cute however I did feel like it was rushed a little bit
-
I loved it so much, Fortune was such a cutie and I loved to his relationship with his coach Lea's father. ❤
-
Meg packed a lot in for how short this book is and how much I was looking forward to it from the previous books. It was so good!
-
Eh not sure how I felt about this book.
I did love the main characters. -
4.5
fast read
