Quarterback Austin Reid's got it all--talent, looks, women. The only thing missing? A national championship. Something he intends to rectify. With his kicker laid up and the university's home opener in three weeks, he's not above poaching talent from the women's soccer team. Or recruiting a sassy, STEM-loving brunette who wants nothing to do with football or him.
Kennedy Carter is no jersey chaser. Hell, she doesn't even like football players. They're all swagger and no substance. Guys who like to play games on and off the field? Hard pass. She knows exactly how those stories end. But when Waverly's sexy quarterback dangles the prospect of a full scholarship under her nose, it's game on.
Sparks fly and the more time they spend together, the harder it gets to fight the sizzling attraction. Austin's always done what's expected of him, but when the clock runs out, he'll have to decide what's more important: fulfilling his legacy or following his heart.
Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
What a fab read!
"We've been on a collision course since you told me you'd rather streak across campus than play ball with me."
Austin Reid is the star quarterback for the Wildcats and his kicker has just broken his leg. It's his senior year before the NFL draft and he's desperate to make sure that his college finishes on top. So desperate that he looks to the women's soccer team to find a replacement kicker. When his eye zones in on Kennedy Carter and her fantastic leg, he knows that she's the one.
"Just one kiss. One taste of the forbidden fruit. We'll get it out of our systems and move on."
Kennedy has no interest in football players in any shape or form. She learnt the hard way to mistrust them. However, the undeniable lure of a full scholarship has her trying out for the popular football team. A talented kicker, she only has her eye on the prize - to graduate with as little debt as possible and place in a top engineering firm. She can't afford any distractions, especially in the form of the dimpled, cocky QB.
"I don't want to go another day without her sexy, STEM-loving nerd power in my life."
Ooh, I really enjoyed this story. There was a slow-burn start as Kennedy struggle to gel with the team, mainly due to her own hang-ups about football players. She was determined to think the worst of them, especially Austin. However, the chemistry between them was irresistible and when Austin proposes a TWB (teammates with benefits) arrangement, she finds it impossible to turn him down. I loved the development in their relationship - the trust they built, their connection, and the support they showed one another. I felt that their relationship evolved naturally into something that they were both heavily invested in. They each struggled with personal things and the pressures put upon them, but I loved how Austin refused to give up on Kennedy. I loved how they made each other stronger and their feelings gave them courage to follow their dreams. This was a heartfelt, sexy read. The tension between Kennedy and Austin was really taut and scorching! Thoroughly enjoyed this book and looking forward to the next one in the series.

Meet Jennifer Bonds
Jennifer Bonds writes sizzling contemporary romance with sassy heroines, sexy heroes, and a whole lot of mischief. She’s a sucker for enemies-to-lovers stories, laugh out loud banter, and over the top grand gestures.
While she’d like to tell you she’s always loved reading, it just wouldn’t be true. In second grade her mom had to bribe her to read (and learn multiplication tables), but by the time she reached middle school she was hopelessly addicted to all things fiction. Amazingly, it didn’t help her popularity level, but did inspire her to write her first book, which (thankfully) is buried in the basement where it will never see the light of day.
Ten years of professional insanity and one MBA later, Jennifer decided to take a chance and pursue her dream of writing. Because, honestly, what could be better than spending your days reading and writing swoonworthy romance?
She also writes YA paranormal romance as J.J. Bonds.
Jennifer lives in Pennsylvania, where her overactive imagination and weakness for reality TV keep life interesting. She’s lucky enough to live with her own real life hero, two adorable (and sometimes crazy) children, and one rambunctious K9.
Loves Buffy, Mexican food, a solid Netflix binge, the Winchester brothers, cupcakes, and all things zombie. Sings off-key.
