Hate the Game by Winter Renshaw
Talon Gold is a lot of things: good at football, bad at love. Obsessed with scoring, refuses to play by the rules. Cruel. Relentless. Brilliant. Intoxicatingly attractive.
Despite his demanding reputation and propensity for being the most arrogant a-hole ever to strut Pacific Valley University’s picturesque campus, everyone wants a piece of him: coaches, scouts, and pretty little campus fangirls with pouty lips and perfect top knots.
But Talon … he only wants a piece of me.
And four straight years of infuriating rejection means I’m almost positive he’d take a night with me over a national championship trophy.
But I’m no fool—he only wants me because he can’t have me. And with graduation approaching, time is running out. He’s more desperate than ever, pulling out all the stops and doing everything in his power to get in my good graces.
They say, “Don’t hate the player, hate the game.”
But to that I say, “Why not both?”
I have my reasons ...
Sorry, BMOC. This victory? Not going to happen.
Caroline's Review
✮✮✮✮✮
Gorgeous, easy read!
“This happens every time – the ongoing war between my mind and body every time he comes around.”
Irie Davenport has successfully dodged Talon Gold for nearly four years. Never mind that she secretly enjoys his attention but there’s no way she wants to get involved with someone like him again – a popular quarterback. She’s been burnt before and her walls are like a fortress.
“I tend to be numb to most things, most of the time, but not this. Not her. Not us – or rather, what we could be.”
Talon has wanted Irie since the first time he laid eyes on her in freshman year, but no matter what he does, he just can’t catch a break with her. When an opportunity to work closely with her presents itself, he grabs it with both hands. Time spent together gives him a chance to finally show her that he’s more than his façade and, as they grow closer, Irie finds it harder and harder to resist him. But, at what cost?
“You’re the real deal…And I know that if we walk away from this, I’m never going to find anyone half as real as you.”
I really loved this college-based, sports romance. I loved the push and pull between Talon and Irie. Honestly, Talon is so gorgeous that it’s amazing that she’s fended him off for so long! I loved how Talon broke through her walls and just how much he wanted her. Both have got issues to work through but I enjoyed how they supported one another. Their chemistry was beautiful and Talon’s enthusiasm for her was so addictive! Such a fab read!
