When Killian assists Rebecca off the floor, she’s stunned into silence while staring at the sexiest man alive.

MICHELLE’S REVIEW
Oh. My. God.
I loved this book.
Loved.
So of all the athlete books out there- a story of a football player is going to be my favorite. I love football and I love football players. This book was no exception.
So Killian. Jesus. I want to have his babies. So I totally don’t blame Rebecca for saying that over and over and over. Killian is a super sexy, top notch football player. He has some major anger issues and eventually we find out why. And the story is pretty heartbreaking.
But back to how sexy he is.
I mean seriously ladies and gents- football players. This.
The sex in this book is OFF THE CHARTS. So sexy. I wanted to have threesomes with them cause that stuff was so damn hot.
So Rebecca. I did like her for the most part. She was very aware of her flaws and insecurities and that made me like her. For example, she was in love with Killian after about 2 minutes. But she knew that falling fast was something she did. And she embraced it. I did get a little annoyed after a while that she was always expecting the worst. But luckily Killian hated that too. And even better was the fact that Killian was into her. Way into her. And loved her just as she was. Killian is total alpha male and these two really go from zero to 60 in about 5 seconds. And it’s ok because for them it works.
But eventually, Killian’s anger issues surface in a nasty way and their relationship takes a major fall. One thing I loved it that we got a lot of them being happy and sexy and figuring each other out.
Here is my one major complaint: The end of the book moved lightening fast and not in a good way. It was like:
and then we were done.
I loved that Rebecca made Killian work for her but at the same time I felt like the whole end of the book just moved so fast that you didn’t get to savor what was happening. The book wasn’t very long so I definitely think we could have gotten more of them.
Other than the rushed ending, I thought this book was great. It’s a light read, has touches of humor, is SUPER SEXY and perfectly romantic. If you need something light to read that will make you feel good- check this one out!
EXCERPT
I dissolved into the seat of his amazing car. A low moan escaped my lips but Killian just showed his dimples and buckled me in. I wondered what he’d do if I pulled him tightly against me and sniffed… for an hour or two.
He opened his door and folded into the seat with absolute grace regardless of his size.
“Ah hell,” he muttered and turned my way. Unlatching my seatbelt, he pulled me in for the most mouthwatering kiss I’d ever had.
His lips, soft but firm, molded to mine. His tongue ran over my teeth, tasted, dipped deeper, and then plunged. He effortlessly slid out the elastic holding my hair before spreading his fingers to either side of my scalp. The kiss intensified and Killian made promises for the night ahead with his lips.
He tasted so damn good.
When he pulled back, I actually whimpered and smiled at the low rumbling growl that came from Killian’s throat. He took my lower lip between his teeth and pulled slightly before letting go. He put distance between us leaving me bereft.
“We’ll eat at my house.” He kissed my forehead, reached over, grabbed the seatbelt, and fastened me in again. My hands went to my hair as I looked around for the hair tie.
“Leave it.”
I stopped my search but couldn’t help running my fingers through the mussed tangles. Killian’s hand captured mine. “No.” He released my fingers just as fast as he verbalized the one word.
I wasn’t a pushover, didn’t have much experience with guys, but I had some. I should have argued, straightened my hair anyway, or even voiced some sort of displeasure. An electrically charged pulse shot straight to the junction of my thighs, and there I went and tried to stain his car’s upholstery.
I kept my mouth shut.
