Football pro Mick Riley is an all-star, both on the field and in the bedroom. But a sexy, determinedly single mom just might be the one to throw him off his game…
For years Mick has been taking full advantage of the life available to a pro athlete: fame, fortune, and a different girl in every city. But when he meets and beds confident, beautiful event planner Tara Lincoln, he wants much more than the typical one-night stand. Too bad Tara’s not interested in getting to know football’s most notorious playboy any better.
As the single mother of a teenage son, the last thing Tara needs is the jet-set lifestyle of Mick Riley; even though their steamy and passionate one-night stand was unforgettable. Tara’s life is complicated enough without being thrust into the spotlight as Mick’s latest girl du jour. Tara played the game of love once and lost big, and she doesn’t intend to put herself out there again, especially with a heartbreaker like Mick.
But when Mick sets his mind to win, nothing will stop him. And he has the perfect play in mind.

Can we talk about the cover first? LOL.... I'm in love with it :) I'm not into really too big-muscled guys, but heck, who wouldn't love this cover? It's sexy, hands down... As author Jill Shalvis said in her blog,
Let’s all have a moment in silence and give thanks to the cover gods for that one…
Amen! LOL...
Going to the story itself, yes, I did enjoy reading the book. Of course, the love scenes were wayyyy hotter in most of the ones I've read so far. I'm thinking, maybe, it too hot for my own taste... But, really, I was able to handle it (well, as long as there's no BDSM, I think I can handle it... =p). And it has a story.. a heart... it's about being a single-mom and of course, Mick's own issue that he's battling with. It's about family... and of course, about love (why would I be reading romance if not for that?).
Can't wait for the next book! :) This time, it's all about Gavin, Mick's brother ;). I wonder who I'd want more - Mick or Gavin? :)
