Lorenzo Ricci is a big-shot footballer known for his talents both on and off the field. In his hometown of Milan, he’s the divinity of all men. Women want to be bedded by him, men want to be him. However, during his one-off visit to the land of the free, he can’t even get final-year college student Skylar Maine to talk to him. She has dreams in the works—dreams that don’t include a … height-restricted Italian who wrongly believes football is played with a round ball.
With Skylar’s wish to find an altitude-breathing mate on the forefront of her mind, Lorenzo will face more than a red-card to secure her attention. If his record-breaking deal, newly acquired gay best-friend, and smoking-hot accent don’t free him from the penalty box, he’s certain a big hairy bear named Percy will.
Ain’t Happenin’ is a hilarious sports romcom that brings together two clashing personalities in the most brilliant way. It has several laugh-out-loud moments and steamy you-aren’t-who-I-want scenes. Scroll up to one-click this standalone new adult romance!

had to go back and reread pages where I’ve either laughed so much or can’t get my head round what’s going on, absolutely spellbound loved Lorenzo and Skylar with a special place in my heart for Danny, fabulous read I voluntarily reviewed this book.
I really enjoyed reading this story about Lorenzo and Skylar. Skylar is a spunky college student who is a huge football fan. Skylar is trying to help Willow with something when she runs into Lorenzo. Skylar has expectations of dating a tall man, over 6′, but Lorenzo is only 5’9″. When he saves her this leaves them both in a tricky spot because he wants to find her again and her because she’s attracted to him but she isn’t quite ready to admit that little detail to anybody yet. They develop a crazy relationship over there next several weeks. Great book and can’t wait to see what she writes next.

This is book two in The Ballsy Boy Series. I had the pleasure of reading book one but it is not necessary to enjoy this one. This book is where two people meet, Lorenzo and Sklyar, and they just clash. Lorenzo is the star athlete used to not having to work to get a woman’s attention. Sklyer has her sights straight ahead to her goals and what Lorenzo calls football, is not right. The chemistry between these two is instantly hit and the dialogue will have you in fits of laughter. I did not think it would be possible to enjoy a book more than book one……it is. I cannot wait to read more in this series. Enjoy!

I volunteered to read this ARC for an honest review. I really enjoyed this story about Lorenzo and Skylar. She’s a spunky college student who is a huge football fan. She also happens to be best friends with Willow, who’s dating the star quarterback Elvis. She’s trying to help Willow when she runs into Lorenzo. Skylar has expectations of dating a tall man, over 6′, but Lorenzo is only 5’9″. When he saves her this leaves them both in a tricky spot, him because he wants to find her again and her because she’s attracted but isn’t ready to admit it. They develop a crazy relationship over there next several weeks until he can convince her to being his fake girlfriend. But even the breast laid plans hits serious snags. Great HEA in the end. This still builds on the previous story but focuses on a different couple.

Overall an interesting storyline which made for a good read. Highly entertaining with the quirky character like Skylar, she will definitely make you laugh. It gets better with Lorenzo in the picture, a hot Italian soccer player who for some reason wants Skylar. This was my first read by the author and the series and I would definitely read more of this sport genre that doesn’t disappoint.
I’m not a sports lover of any kind, so my first glimpse of the cover of the book had me grousing about the “football” term in the blurb where they obviously had a soccer ball in the picture. Duh… I did finally catch on. Oh, THAT football!
Anyway, this is a funny, enjoyable story that basically is about Skylar who chooses to avoid Lorenzo who is just one item short on meeting her list requirements for the “perfect” guy. Thereafter, he chases and she runs because she doesn’t want less than perfect. Seriously, this is a story that will keep the reader laughing as Lorenzo won’t give up trying to connect with Skylar. Will he finally get the girl? Grab your copy and see who wins this round! (Or have I just switched to a golf comparison?)
Hot Italian Footballer anyone?
Ain’t Happenin’ is the second book in The Ballsy Boy Series. It is the story of Skylar, who was introduced in Just Playin’, and “sex on a stick” Italian Footballer (soccer for the North American’s) Lorenzo. He is smitten with her and chases her down no matter what she does or says to him he wants her and is determined to have her.
This is a fun filled book that will make you laugh out loud and cry while you are doing it. The witty banter between the characters and even the supporting characters are smart and funny. Plus the smoldering chemistry was great.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
I liked this story so much. It has a hot Italian soccer player trying to get the hot American girl and the fun ensues. I laughed and cried from the laughing and enjoyed the banter so much.

Ahhhh, I was disappointed, I know I know we can’t have all of them awesome, but still I wanted to like it more than I did. So we met Skylar in the last book, football obsessed I understood her since I myself am a lover of football, in any language. So back to Skylar we met her in the last book, and not that I loved her but I got her so here she is sticking with Willow to assist (I love Willow, like love her) and help her get her man continuing the ending of last book (please read the first book you truly need it) and let me tell you you will love that book. So Skyler meets a hot Italian man and I have to ask is there any Italian guy that is lot not hot, because if there is I have never met nor seen any and then there accent (fanning myself) so she keet Lorenzo who she has dubbed Shorty J and they begin there story, and that is where I start losing interest because it wasn’t very romantic, it was her putting him down and him chasing her. What saved the story for me was DANNY, he was hilarious, hilarious anytime he had a part in the book. Even Willow who is funny as heck to didn’t have many funny parts but I still loved reading about her and Elvis, those two have stolen my heart. So do I recommend you to read it? Well if you read the first book you have to, if only to get Danny…
One last thing the bathroom Danny and Skylar situation was hilarious..I saw a vagina!!!-too funny

This is a sports driven booked filled with humour sexual attraction and so many misconceptions about the game and how much her heart and head battle lorenzo is determined to win her over. Highly recommended read.
This book is so good. You will laugh, cry, and even swoon at all the lovely Italian word Lorenzo says Skylar. Lorenzo knew he loved Skylar the moment he laid eyes on her and he was going to make her his. Skylar had other plans. The humor and love and tears that come throughout this book is amazing. Such a good book.
Absolutely incredible book. I loved that Shandi started it with willow and elvis and i finally got to know how elvis got willow into her performance at the end of their book. Skylar’s book was amazing and i wouldnt have expected anything less. I love Skylar and the way she just says whats on her mind. I am already ready to reread it just so i can enjoy it all over again.

A 10 stars out of five star!
I reviewed a complementary copy of this book!
This is a wonderful book full of humour, hot, hot sex and romance and I laughed till I cried and my husband threatened to send me out of the room. If you liked “Just Playin” you will love this book because it is even better and Willow and Presley are involved with Skylar and Lorenzo as well as some new characters. This book will lift you sprits during these difficult times but I would recommend it all the time it is fantastic.
