BLURB:
Can the Devil of the NFL keep his hands off his coach’s sister-in-law?
The only way to win is to score…
With a reputation for fast moves on the gridiron and even faster moves off the field, Shane Devlin is a player in every sense of the word. Unfortunately, his bad boy persona has made him a risky prospect as a quarterback—and only the Baltimore Blaze are willing to give him a chance. But he’s about to take a hit he never expected.
Working for the Blaze, Carly March knows too well how jocks think—and what they think with—so she’s always made a point of keeping ballplayers at arm’s length. But when she shares a kiss with the devilishly handsome Shane, she finds it hard to play by her own rules—and even harder to resist him. Can a football hero and a business-minded beauty try to take it all the way? Or will their mutual attraction cost them the big game?
Game On is the first book in the Out of Bounds series featuring the Baltimore Blaze professional football team. This novel features a sexy alpha hero, a forbidden romance, lots of sexy fun and a satisfying HEA without cliffhangers. Each book can be read as a standalone or as part of the series in order.
““You know what I think, Shane Devlin?” she whispered. A muscle twitched on the side of his mouth as he opened his steely eyes. “I think the bad-boy persona you’ve cultivated all these years is just a ruse. A way to get back at your dad for hurting you. You’d like everyone to think you a selfish jerk, but I know for a fact you’re not.””
MY REVIEW:
I absolutely loved this book! Shane and Carly were so perfect together!! I loved that Carly was able to look behind Shane’s mask and see that he was a hurt, lonely boy! In addition to being a sports romance, there was a bit of suspense in this book as Carly finds herself with a stalker!
Tracy had my emotions running the gamut in this book and I can’t wait to dive further into this series! If you like sports/football romances and you like the forbidden romance trope and a grumpy, slightly a-holish hero, why not give this book a try?
