Playboy. Flirt. Womanizer. I know what they say about me, but none of it is true. Despite the parade of girls leaving my bedroom, I’d rather stay a virgin than wind up like my famous dad.But one flirty conversation with Lauren Andrews, a sexy chef from California who’s been hired to cook for the team, and I’m all in. One kiss, and I yearn for more. But between our age difference and the fact … difference and the fact that she’s going back to America in two months, convincing her to give me a chance is harder than I thought. I’m used to women falling at my feet, not pushing me away.
But I won’t give up.
I’m willing to do what it takes to make her mine … even if that means leaving Dublin—and rugby—behind for good.

Younger hero. Relentless and sweet
So if you haven’t been following my blog for a while you won’t know how obsessed with Rebecca Norinne I have become since first reading Trying Sophie, and then carrying on to read Ruck Me and Ashes to Ashes I am obsessed. I love her writing and what it does to me like it just makes me feel all the emotions and feelings! So starting this book I knew that no doubt I was going to fall hopelessly in love with this story and I did!
I loved Donal, the way he acted so cocky and so sure of himself, so when he wasn’t feeling like that it was so nice and sweet. Also when we saw some of his insecurities when it came to being like his father it melted my heart. Also discovering he was, in fact, a virgin was a surprise and I loved the fact he managed to confide in Eoin about it as well as Lauren. I loved how fast he actually fell for her too it was so sweet and he really didn’t care about the age difference between them.
I loved Lauren and although she knew she was good at her cooking skills sometimes she was unsure about them. I also thought it was honourable how she wouldn’t flip on her old boss when he was a cruel asshole to her. She was very insecure about her age when it came to being with Donal and even more when he told her he was a virgin. Although one of my favourite things in this book is that scene when she finds out and she’s shocked because and his response was he’s not celibate. If you’ve read the book you know which I mean but yeah that really did make me chuckle. I loved her insecurities and although it took a time she did finally share them.
I loved their relationship and although they fell for each other fast, I loved them getting to know each other. The sex was very well written and mature. I loved the bond that they created and the fact Donal was willing to sacrifice and move with Lauren so they could be together. It was also very nice seeing a couple that didn’t want kids, although for Lauren she couldn’t but yes it was very nice seeing a couple that didn’t want kids.
I loved the appearance of Eoin and Aoife in this novel it’s always nice seeing the other characters appear in the novel.
OMG I LOVED this story! After seeing the glimpse of the real Donal in the last book, he did not disappoint and was even better the more you got to know him. Loved him with Lauren!!
This is a story of a Rugby player that takes an infrequent line that sportman deal with. Family angst, life circumstances angst and fear. A very cute romance to love and Happy ending. Descriptive to fill out the book, and plot enough to keep me engaged. Sex scenes x2 descriptive but then maybe appropriate for the story. I enjoyed it. Not letting others issues run their lives and how they learned to depend on each other was admirable.
