BLURB
Sydney Carr knows better than to mix business with pleasure. Sheโs had a long, hard road to get to where she is now. She landed her dream job, and sheโs not about to risk it all for the newest basketball recruit.
The stakes are high for Colson Rush. When heโs traded to the Miami Blaze, his focus is on one thingโwinning. But when he helps a fiery redhead fight off a mugger, he canโt deny the sparks between them. Although she tries, neither can she.
Too bad sheโs his new coachโs daughter.
Giving into the temptation is one personal foul neither of them can back down from.
Personal Foul was previously featured in the Playing to Win Anthology and is now expanded to a full-length novel.

Caroline's Review

3.5 to 4 stars
โYou have no idea how much I want you, how badly I need to feel you wrapped around me.โ
On his arrival at his new home, Colson Rush rescues his beautiful neighbour from a mugger, never realising how his life is about to change. By the time he finds out who Sydney Carr is, heโs already pretty smitten. However, in spite of the blistering chemistry between them, Sydney is skittish about entering a relationship with Colson. She has her reasons but those reasons start to diminish when she realises no one else has an issue with it, least of all Colson.
โI love how my name sounds on your lipsโฆI want to hear it every day for the rest of my life.โ
So, overall, I enjoyed this story. I loved the connection between Colson and Sydney. They were both hard workers and wanted to do good in the world. Sydney totally blew hot and cold โ often she was the initiator and then sheโd completely back off. The one thing about this novel was that I felt there were missing bits of development in their relationship. I sort of missed the idea that Sydney really didnโt want to start anything with Colson. To me, it was never quite blatant enough, so I got a tiny bit confused when I realised that that was main crux of the story because she kind of blasted her way into his life at the beginning. Colson was patient with her but I totally understood his frustrations and I really felt for him at the way she dealt with him. When her affection for him was tested, I was disappointed that she assumed the worst when his actions toward her throughout spoke volumes. An engaging, sexy novel overall but just needed a little bit more development.
