Hands down, my favorite thing in the world is to score. Touchdowns. Don’t let the fact that I’m the leading pick in the Most Valuable Playboy charity auction fool you. These days, I’m only a player on the field. I’ve kept my pants zipped all season long – and it is long – because nothing’s more important than leading my team to victory every week. Except maybe escaping from the team owner’s recently widowed and handsy-as-hell sister, who’s dead set on winning more than a date with me. Enter Violet and a well-placed Hail Mary. She’s my best friend’s sister with a smile as sweet as cherry pie, and a mind that runs quicker than the 40-yard-dash.
After Violet saves the day with the highest bid, I don’t even give her a two-minute warning before I kiss her in front of the whole crowd, and then announce that she’s my girlfriend. Which would be fine, except my agent tells me we’ve got to keep up the act while he’s negotiating my contract. Violet takes one for the team and pretends to be mine, but our boyfriend-girlfriend scrimmage quickly turns into a full contact sport, and I want it to go into overtime. The problem is – I’ve been riding the bench for years. How can a guy like me, who finally has a chance to prove his worth on the field, convince the girl she’s most valuable to his heart?
A Touchdown plus the Extra Point!!! “My heart seems to take on a different shape when I’m near her. A new and wholly unfamiliar shape.”
TOUCHDOWN & EXTRA POINTS GAME ON! Itâs that time of year again and football season has me shakinâ my pom-poms and doing a shimmy/shake victory dance! And so does that easy-on-the-eyes book cover! Lauren Blakely may have given us one of the sweetest and most generous players ever â but it is this author who is the âMVP.â Her writing drops five perfect touchdowns into the end zone with two strong and lovable fun-to-get-to-know main characters whoâll treat you to a real good time in their all-star game.
Cute and Fun Cute, fun read with a good storyline that we’ve seen before but is still good! Loved their history and seeing them come to terms with everything that was happening between them.
