The rules: no kissing on the mouth, no staying the night, no telling anyone, and above all… No falling in love
Anna Jones just wants to finish college and figure out her life. Falling for star quarterback Drew Baylor is certainly not on her to do list. Confident and charming, he lives in the limelight and is way too gorgeous for his own good. If only she could ignore his heated stares and stop … and stop thinking about doing hot and dirty things with him. Easy, right?
Too bad he’s committed to making her break every rule…
Football has been good to Drew. It’s given him recognition, two National Championships, and the Heisman. But what he really craves is sexy yet prickly Anna Jones. Her cutting humor and blatant disregard for his fame turns him on like nothing else. But there’s one problem: she’s shut him down. Completely.
That is until a chance encounter leads to the hottest sex of their lives, along with the possibility of something great. Unfortunately, Anna wants it to remain a hook up. Now it’s up to Drew to tempt her with more: more sex, more satisfaction, more time with him. Until she’s truly hooked. It’s a good thing Drew knows all about winning.
All’s fair in love and football…Game on

I have reread this book more times than I know. I am forever hooked on the chemistry between Drew and Anna. I also treasure how Drew has to overcome Anna’s reluctance and by far he chooses compassion and patience. I love her feistiness and unapologetic independence. They feel like two separate people who fully love and believe in each other!
When I can’t put a book down and I constantly think about it, it’s then I know it’s a damn good book. I loved Drew with a passion. Such a strong character and He had me for page 1. The same goes with Anna. Insecure but so strong in her beliefs. These two people and their love towards each other was such a beautiful thing to experience. Kristen writes flawlessly and I treasured every word.
I am totally in love with this series ! Man the super steamy scenes almost set the pages on fire (Fanning Self) i mean Wow ! plus there are some really sweet scenes too:)
Omg Drew is pretty freaking perfect ! i totally don’t get Anna at all ,if someone like Drew was interested in me i would totally be more friendly then she is ! but i loved all the banter between them ,they are so funny and i loved every scene with them 🙂 Drew falls head over heels for Anna pretty fast but when you know you know 🙂
I get Anna but at times she almost let her insecurities ruin what she and drew had ,i mean i know we all have issues but i feel like Drew never really gave her reason to doubt him ,she finally sees that he loves her and that he wants her for her! then Drew gets hurt and he tries to push Anna out but she refuses to let his fear destroy what they have ,Drew finally gets the help he needs to get past his fear of losing Anna and never playing football again ,its hard but they don’t give up 🙂
I blew through this book ! it was Fun and sexy and sweet with a bit of Heartbreak thrown in 🙂
Loved this so much!!!
I could read and re-read this book for a milion times…. and I would feel like I’m doing this the first time!!! I adore these characters, this authors and the whole story line!!!!
The Hook Up is amazing read, delicious, steamy with sooooo much angst in the backgroud …. GAHHHH YOU NEED Drew and Anna in Life !!!!!! IMMEDIATELY!
I just finished “FAll” by Kristen Callihan and loved it. So, I went back into my library favorites and rediscovered: “Game On”. Also by Kristen. Such a good college romance / sports story. Book 2 in the series is also delightful. Happy reading!
Amazing, deeply emotional epic love story!
This story goes way beyond the usual meet-cute/conflict/resolution/HEA story arc that we usually find. The highs are stratospheric, and the lows are devastating. The wide range of topics addressed head-on include Anna’s insecurities, her mother’s romantic issues, Drew’s tragic loss, his football-enhanced academic career, his own insecurities and sense of self, friendships, trauma, misunderstandings, and so much more. Just when you think they’ve battled it all, there’s more heading their way. By the time the story’s done, you know they’ve fought hard to guarantee their HEA.
Throughout the roller-coaster story the humor is smart and snappy, the steamy times are melt-your-kindle hot, and the writing keeps the story flowing and the pages turning. I’ve borrowed this entire series through Overdrive, and I can’t wait to get started on the next one.
