Look, I had a rough week at work. So I put on a bikini and escape to the beach, where I wind up rescuing the city’s hot new quarterback from a rogue paddleboard, and then he rescues me that night from a s-e-x drought.

Hello O-Town. Nice to see you!

The charmer with the magic hands wants another date too, and I say yes so fast.

But the thing is I’m the team lawyer for The Mercenaries. And the morning after the sexiest night of my life, I find out the guy I plan to see again was just traded to our team.

Dating the brand spanking new star quarterback?

Off-limits.

Especially when my boss blindsides me with this twist – I’m in charge of managing his reputation.

I really shouldn’t invite him over late tonight then.

Truly, I shouldn’t.

Contents include: sex hacks, text snafus, bedroom dares, major league dirty talking, and twists you won’t see coming in this sexy sports romance.



Drew Erickson just wanted a day off at the beach after another crappy practice as a quarterback with his NFL team. He is a funny and good guy, and a team player, but is struggling. He never expected to meet the best distraction. 

Brooke is a smart and sassy lawyer who has also had a bad week with her professional and personal life and she just wanted to get away, read, and enjoy her day. Meeting Drew proved to be a big bonus. 

From Meet-Cute to afternoon delight, these two dazzle each other with their personalities and their chemistry together is amazing. But of course, things in their life could not be THAT simple...

When full disclosure and some life changes occur, they find themselves in a situation they never saw coming with added complications. 

What do you do when you meet someone with great potential, fabulous chemistry, fun banter, and who understands your work world, but then they become off-limits?

Follow the rules?
Ride a thin line?
Totally break them and hope you do not get caught?

This is a sexy, sweet, witty, forbidden romance set in a football world. Drew and Brooke and fire and fun. I totally loved them both. Brooke is more of a deep thinker, risk-averse, and afraid of getting hurt. Drew is more of a gambler and risk-taker. They are both good-natured people-pleasers that like to set a good example, but it does not stop their want, need, and the fact that they also want to be happy. Together they challenge each other and truly enjoy time together even when they are sneaking around. They have some unique challenges and will have to navigate them to figure out what they really need to succeed in life and in their careers. 

I loved seeing cameos from quite a few characters in the LB universe. I liked her sister, Ally, and his friend, Patrick. I am so intrigued by Carter, Maddox, and Gabe. Bring on more stories set in the LB sports world! 

Brooke and Drew each needed to let go of a rough week, which is what sent each of them separately to the same beach. When their meet cute turns into an easy date and then into a spicy encounter, they make plans for a second date to see where things go. But before that second date can happen, news of Drew’s trade hits and throws a complication in their plans.

These two were hot together. From the moment they met the sparks were flying. Once they learned there was a work complication, the brakes were thrown but it couldn’t truly hide the spark. The forbidden aspect was a strong part of what kept them apart and did help to build heir friendship outside of the bedroom, but there were a few times I just wanted them to figure it out so it wasn’t the big elephant in the room.

I loved the addition of Drew’s family to the story. He is so sweet with his mom and sisters and I loved that softer side of him. The team added some fun moments as well. This is a good group of teammates and I look forward to seeing more from them.

This was a spicy, swoony forbidden romance with football as the backdrop. I always love returning to Lauren Blakely’s worlds and the way the characters are interwoven between all her books. This is entirely a standalone, though there are two books slated to follow in the series, each focusing on a different couple. I look forward to returning to this line again!
