When Leila Hart, the
new sideline reporter, is introduced to Jackson Gray, the senior
football analyst, there's instant chemistry. She's a sexy, sassy,
little thing trying to hide her knowledge of football. Jackson
wonders why. The chemistry draws them together, but each has secrets
that keep them from a more committed relationship. As their romance
progresses keeping the secrets becomes more and more difficult. They
not only lust for each other, they like each other.
If you like romance,
Leila and Jackson are good characters. She's sexy, but intelligent
and has a strong desire to make her own way. Jackson is a hunk, but
basically a very nice guy. He wants a committed relationship, but his
secrets keep getting in the way.
Depending on your
perspective, this book has features that will be pluses for some,
minuses for others. The first chapters are devoted to Leila and
Jackson having lustful thoughts about each other. The actual plot
doesn't get going until about a third of the way through the book. If
you want fast action, you'll be disappointed. However, if you like
the romantic back and forth, you'll enjoy the opening.
Another plus or
minus is the background in football stats. Personally, I found it
fascinating, but if you're primarily reading for plot and romance all
the discussion of football can be distracting.
The book is easy to
read. There are plenty of twists that keep the plot interesting. I
enjoyed the book and recommend it if you enjoy well-written romance.
I received this book
for Net Galley for this review.
