I don’t play dirty, I play to win.“The more innocent a girl looks, the wilder she is in bed … and that goes double for Natalie”I went to see my childhood idol but instead I saw the girl I could never forget. People always say there’s always one that got away, and for me that was Natalie. We spent one amazing summer together but then I never saw her again … until now.“Good girls love bad boys … again … until now.
“Good girls love bad boys always seemed like such a cliche saying to me.”
From the moment I saw him on my doorstep I knew I was his, whether I wanted to or not. Our time together was sinfully sweet but also short, as we both knew it had to come to an end. Only for me, it was just the beginning, as after Chris left I found out I’m pregnant with his child.
This is a full-length novel. It is a standalone so you don’t have to read the series in order to understand it. There is NO cliffhanger, NO cheating, and a guaranteed happy ending!more
A second chance romance at its finest. To find your soulmate for a second time and find out that you have also made a child together definitely makes a great story and Roxy Sinclaire did that beautifully in this book. Such a great series so far.
“I’ll always make time for you” Great secret baby, sports romance. Chris tries hard but it takes him a while to get his life together. The famous athlete drama was normal for this genre but the interference of Natalie’s father was way over the top, I wanted to tell him a thing or two, lol. The road was rough but this couple is so drawn to each other that they can’t fight it. I like that Natalie was a good girl and though she loved football, she was not a groupie.
This is the last of Roxy’s sports themed series, and it’s a great way to end the series. It’s a second chance, secret baby football romance that’s by turns sweet and sexy. Chris is a free agent quarterback in LA for a meeting with his potential new team, the LA Tigers. He knows his childhood hero, Russell Boyd, lives in the area and he’s determined to meet him. So he gets his publicist to find his address and walks up and knocks on his door. He doesn’t get to meet Russell that day, but he does meet the woman who will come to mean everything to him: Russell’s daughter, Natalie. Natalie answers the door and Chris is immediately attracted. As they get to know each other during the time Chris is in town, they strike up a friendship with sexual tension. Chris is determined to “score” with Natalie, but he has come to realize that she’s not just some easy football groupie, she’s smart, sweet and not a party girl at all. So he takes his time getting to know her. When they come together, it’s sweet and steamy and they both fall pretty hard.
Unfortunately, Chris’ playboy, out of control reputation comes back to bite him, as Natalie’s father forbids Chris from seeing his daughter ever again, even going as far as threatening his career if he ever contacts Natalie again. So, Chris, knowing he has to think of his future, blocks Natalie’s number from his phone and walks away. 5 years later, though, he sees a beautiful face in the crowd of fans at one of his games. Only she’s not alone, there’s an adorable little boy sitting next to her in the bleachers. Chris is determined to talk to Natalie again, and figure out who the little boy with her is.
They’ve got a bumpy road ahead of them, though, because Chris is still a playboy, and Natalie’s father is still determined to keep Chris out of Natalie’s life. Only, Russell doesn’t know what Natalie knows, Chris is Michael’s father, and Michael is Chris’ biggest fan. Those two factors, and a helping hand of fate, mean Chris is going to be around forever, even after Russell finds out Chris is back and still tries to threaten him.
As always, Roxy has given us a sexy, well written story with likable characters and an entertaining plot. Chris is both sweet and sexy, and Natalie is amazing, she’s strong and independent and a great mom. Their reunion is more emotional than anything, and their connection hasn’t dimmed at all in the 5 years they’ve been apart. I’m going to miss Roxy’s sports romances, I’m hoping she starts a new sports series!
