A No Strings Attached Romance in the bestselling Wild Men series by USA Today bestselling author Melissa Belle Jasalie I’m no waitress. I’ve never carried food or drinks through a restaurant in my life. Except when I was stealing to feed myself. But I’m not that person anymore. Tonight, thanks to my crappy boss, I’m standing in front of Dylan Wild at the Super Bowl after-party, asking him if he … the Super Bowl after-party, asking him if he needs a refill.
And just like a stereotypical professional athlete, he hits on me.
Sure, he’s the star quarterback. Sure, he’s hotter than hellfire and sin. And finally, a man who’s taller than me.
One wicked glance, and my whole body is screaming his name already.
But I’m not the kind of woman Dylan Wild wants, not if he knew who I used to be.
So I say no. And walk off, telling myself I’ll never see him again, anyway.

Awesome story of a Quarterback that does NOT have the ego that most have….and a girl that has been literally pooped on most of her life. This author takes you with the h thru her most trying times and letting you see and feel how she comes out with the love of her life, realizing his life was not much different than hers with family. We get to see and feel the angst, love and irrational worries they go thru.
Dylan, pro football player, MVP and all-around party guy, has had some trouble settling down. He’s been seen with some of the most famous celebrities on his arm, but no one has captured his heart. That’s the problem. Even after their team has won the Super Bowl, putting him in the hottest spot he’s ever had, there are those who don’t wish to have him represent their products because of his attitude toward relationships. What they don’t know is that Dylan has a soft spot, and though he isn’t sure about the way his mind and heart are turning, he might just be on the lookout for someone who could make him as happy as his cousin and teammate, Colton is with his wife. But being in the spotlight isn’t easy, and dragging someone else into it could put her at risk too.
In walks Jasalie. She’s playing the part as waitress for the Super Bowl winners because the waitstaff is short, and her boss wants her waiting on the Super Bowl team. When she comes face to face with the quarterback, Dylan Wild, she feels the sparks fly as much as he does. But she has secrets from her past she’d prefer not to reveal to anyone else. And that includes the Super Bowl’s MVP. So, when he hits on her, she turns him down.
Dylan isn’t one to be deterred. The next time they meet, he offers to help her with her financial situation if she’ll be his date for three days, no strings attached. Feeling backed into a corner, she takes him up on his offer. As they navigate the ins and outs of this situation they find themselves in, they also discover they have more in common than they realized. It makes leaving each other more difficult as the time ticks away. Will they find some middle ground, survive the media storm that continues to close in on them and threaten to tear them apart?
I am loving this “wild” bunch of men who only wish to find some happiness in their extraordinary lives. And even more, I admire the strong women who push against the grain to capture these men’s hearts and give them their HEA. This author has a special style and an unusual insight into the minds of the men she writes and the professions they choose, along with the unique ingredients that make up the women who come to mean the world to them. As she introduces this band of family and friends, we gain an awareness of the kind of woman it will take to tame the heart of the next one in line. I’m excited to read the subsequent Wild story she has in store for us.
