As MVP tight end for the Rough Riders, I’m used to getting what I want. When I want. If my sexy as sin looks don’t seal the deal, my larger than life bankroll does.Plus, once women see what I’m packing below the belt, they always come back for more. And I’m happy to oblige, before sending them on their satisfied way. None of that matters now. My sights are set on a Super Bowl ring—kicking ass on … sights are set on a Super Bowl ring—kicking ass on the field and staying focused are my only options, getting distracted is not.
Then Shannon Hale shows up and suddenly I’m fumbling like a rookie over the quarterback’s sassy little sister.
She’s not like other women. Wants nothing to do with me… NFL’s resident playboy. The harder she pulls, the more I push.
Now the only game I want to win involves getting her in my bed, but I still have one little problem. She’s very much off limits.
Good thing I’ve learned when you’re playing for keeps, sometimes you have to play dirty.

The title is extremely accurate.
If you enjoy sizzling, steamy erotic romances with a lot of dirty talk and even more dirty, filthy action, you will love this book. It is heavy on the sexy scenes, though the story is good as well bit there is not as much of a story as you would expect for a book this long.
The characters are well developed, even the supporting characters. The Hero is Oliver Powell, a 30 year old NFL star running back who wants to win a super bowl this year. He knows he only has a few more years in him before retirement and he thinks this will be his best chance. The team came close the previous year and this year they picked up a new quarterback who is a rising star.
The heroine is Shannon Hale, sister of Beaux Hale the new Quarterback. She basically raised Beaux though she is only three years older and she sacrificed a lot to give him his football dreams. She took him to all his practices, threw the ball around with him, payed for his college and more. She just got out of a long relationship when she found her fiancé cheating on her at a party his boss was throwing for them.
The attraction between her and Oliver is immediate, but he is jaded after his ex wife left him right after he got traded from New England to a team in the south, she wanted to stay where she could shop and have fun. Since then he only does one night stands. Beaux tells Shannon to stay away from Oliver, but that doesn’t work for long. Then one night just isn’t enough for either of them.
The book is fun and hot and definitely a good read if you’re in the mood to get down and dirty.
Shannon Hale thought she had everything she could possibly want in life, then in an instant her entire life was turned upside down, the wedding dress she had planned to wear down the aisle became a shredded heap of material, and the life she had created with her fiance was only visible in her rear view mirror. Finding out he was unfaithful crushed her, and the only thing that felt right was to run, so she loaded up what belongings she could and headed to the one place she knew where she’d could find support, her brother’s place. She has every intention of starting over, creating her own life, free of men, but the minute she meets Tight End Oliver Powell, her plan goes to hell… as much as she tries to resist the sexy football players charms, he finds a way to sneak under her radar and into her heart. And into her bed…
Oliver Powell has been burnt by love once and he has no intention of ever letting it happen again, so he takes on this arrogant playboy persona to keep woman from wanting more than just a night, and it seems to be working just fine, until he meets Shannon Hale. Something about her has him abandoning every plan he has in place when it comes to love, and relationships, and it’s got him totally off of his game. He sets out with the intention of only one night with her in hopes it will quench his desire, but he soon learns that one night will never be enough when it comes to her… she has ingrained herself into every facet of his life, and as much as that should scare him it doesn’t…
This sinfully sexy tale had me completely addicted in a matter of minutes and ready to abandoned everything else around me just so I could get my fix…. and man did I ever find it!!! These two definitely had and used every tool in their arsenal to heat up the pages!!! The chemistry they shared was evident the minute they laid eyes on one another, and with each encounter that followed it just continued to smolder, and there was no denying it… no matter how much Shannon tried! She was a worthy opponent to the OH SO powerful Mr. Powell, and she did all she could to resist his charms, but his dirty one liners eventually wore her down!! And I have their steamy little battle made for one hell first read for me, and definitely one of the most memorable I have had in a while!! It not only introduced me to a very talented new author, but also made for one completely blissful, and sinfully delightful reading escape!! Highly recommend you get your hands on this one, you will not be disappointed!!
