Jaxsen Wild has landed himself in hot water with the NBA.
After letting his temper get the best of him during a game, he’s slapped on the wrist with a warning—get your act together, or your career and the championship with the Miami Blaze is on the line.
He wasn’t looking for love, and he certainly never saw Emmy coming when she crashes into him at the airport. Jaxsen is used to women using him for his money and the media dragging his name through the mud.
The last thing he needs is another scandal with his name plastered in the headlines. Still, something about how she has no idea who he is, draws him in.
Learning her ex cheated on her has Emmy swear off men and relationships forever. All she wants is one night of passion to forget everything—no strings attached. Who better than Mr. Tall, Dark and Dreamy staying at her hotel after their cancelled flight leaves them stranded in the city?
Except Jaxsen wants more than one night with Emmy, and he isn’t ready to let her go so easily.
When word gets out about their relationship and Jaxsen finds out the secret she’s been keeping, Emmy fears he’ll believe she’s using him like all the women before her.
Or worse, he'll live up to his bad boy reputation and turn out to be as much of a player off the court as he is on it.
Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Loved this story! It was funny, sexy, and melted my heart! Jaxsen and Emmy were made for each other.
"As much as she wants to play it off as one night, I sense from the way her body reacts to me, she feels the connection between us too."
Jaxsen Wild is the bad boy of basketball, but his hothead ways has him close to throwing away everything he's worked so hard for. Emerson 'Emmy' Kincaid is striving towards her dream of being a fashion designer, whilst working as airline cabin crew. When they end up being grounded due to bad weather, they give in to the hot attraction between them. Jaxsen is wary of women getting close to him for his fame and money, and Emmy just got out of a relationship. However, there's no denying there's a very real connection between them. Six weeks after giving Jaxsen a dud telephone number, they bump into each other again in Miami, where he lives and where she's interning. This time, Jaxsen is determined not to lose her again.
"I'd let Jaxsen wreck my world any day."
This was an easy, thoroughly enjoyable read. It flowed really well and I loved the characters. Initially, Jaxsen came across as an arrogant jerk but, underneath it all, he was thoughtful, loyal and determined to be a better person for Emmy. Emmy was brilliant! I loved her gutsiness and the way she dealt with people who tried to bring her down. She knew her own worth and was not willing to put up with being treated poorly. She was genuine and never tried to be somebody she wasn't, and I loved her connection with Jaxsen. They were insanely hot together and I adored the trust that built between them. This was a fab read!
