Description

Sean Decker takes pride in his reputation as the best kicker in the league. His other reputation—for falling in love with every girl he meets—is more of an urban legend. Sure, he likes women, but he just wants to meet a nice one and settle down, especially since his latest hookup has gone all kinds of wrong. If he can just extricate himself from that suffocating mess, he swears to learn from it. And when he meets the blend of fresh air and independence that is Tess Colby, he knows she’s the one to help him.

Tess has no interest in being Sean’s latest conquest. Not only has she heard the rumors, but she’s focused on making the jump from bartender to sportswriter. In exchange for an interview, she’s willing to give him the same in-depth advice she always gives brokenhearted guys across the bar. But date him? No way.

Sean claims he doesn’t want to date. Just hang out. Although for some reason, his definition of hanging out includes kissing. It’s fun, but Tess knows she needs to stay strong. Not just for her own sake, but maybe for the kicker’s, too.

I love this series and this is a great addition to it! I was telling my husband as I was reading this book that pretty much all the characters in this book are certifiable but they are SO fun, I love every one of them. This book could be read as a stand alone but because some of the backstory for Sean is told in earlier books and because of the deeply entwined relationships I highly recommend reading the whole series in order starting with Play by Play. This book finally tells Sean Decker’s story. Member of the Triple Threat, excellent kicker, forever falling in love, trapped in relationship hell Sean. I loved Sean, I have since the beginning and it was tearing me apart watching him with Kerrie (just like his friends) I was so glad he met Tess. Tess is an amazing free spirit with such capacity to love and she and Sean are perfect together. I loved watching them take it slow (unusual for Sean) come together, reach for what they want together…it was a really beautiful love story about acceptance of who a person is without trying to change them but with a heavy amount of crazy fun. Like I said I love all these characters and I was so glad to see them all again, in fact I see a full series re-read in my near future. I was also glad to see some new characters introduced so I have great hope that even though the Triple Threat is all happily paired off now that there will be more to come in this series….pretty please. I received a copy of this book from the publisher through Net Galley in exchange for an honest review. A positive review was not required and all views expressed here are my own.

There are times when we think we're in love and fall for the wrong person at a very wrong time and end up continuing the charade for different reasons .... This book deals with one such scenarios ... Sean Decker is stuck with a girlfriend who is totally wrong for him but is not able to get rid of her... He's strong but sweet and romantic at heart ... Enter Tess, a lively and charming girl who makes Sean realize what he's been missing but they don't plunge into the relationship right away and take their time knowing each other ... This is a sweet and romantic journey with a great mix of humor that will ensure you thoroughly enjoy the read. Plus, when the story involves hunky sports icons, what's not to like about it?
