He was football royalty. Legendary quarterback. A champion. Reiner Strickland had led his team to three national championships and playing a knight in shining armor was all in a days work for the NFL star quarterback. Only his damsel in distress had no idea who he was, and it threw him off his game. He was the face of his organization and was used to everyone recognizing him. Her innocence, … innocence, charm, and beauty captivated him. It wasn’t until after they parted ways that he realized that he never got her number or even her last name.
Jada Dalton had no idea who her sexy knight in shining armor was, but knew that she’d probably never see him again. She was focused on building her business and didn’t have time for love. Just because she was determined to become a successful businesswoman, it didn’t mean she couldn’t dream about her sexy as sin rescuer.
Another chance meeting brings the two together and this time, Jada discovers who exactly Reiner is. She learns quickly what goes along with dating a football legend and is not sure she can handle it. Reiner refuses to let Jada go. He’ll have to dig deep and call out the most important play of his life to ensure that Jada Dalton remains on his team.

This was a quick cute read. I really wanted more details, a lot of stuff just seemed to happen “behind the scenes”, and this story could have been fleshed out a bit more. With a bit of drama, some good sexy times, I give this 4 stars.
She has no idea who he is except her savior on the side of the road
*** 3 1/2 Stars ***
Hard Love is the story of Jada and Reiner. I thought that this second chance meeting story-line was good but there were something that I was not a fan of. The characters were interesting but the racial “issue” was just not there nor were a few other things that I had expected. Overall it was an okay book that had potential to be more.

I was so intrigued that I couldn’t even put this book down. I truly enjoyed this book that I read it in less than one day.
Each page had just enough sauciness, just the right amount of sassiness, with each turn . looking forward to seeing MORE.

Rainer may be a star quarter back but his mother brought him up to have impeccable manners and there is no way he would leave a woman stranded at the side of the road in a thunder storm When he stopped to help Jada he discovered something he hadn’t had for quite a while anonymity she had no idea who he was a novel thing for him. After he has helped her they head off on their own ways and shortly after he realises he never got her name and number even though he found her attracted. Fate plays a hand when they end up at the same charity event and this time he won’t let her get away no matter what it costs him. Can they have a future together when family is against them
“Hard Love” is passionate and emotional. Reiner and Jada meet once, regret not getting each other’s contact info, meet again and the sparks continue to fly. This relationship builds over long phone calls and Reiner’s determination to make Jada his. They show love and respect for each other long before the words are spoken. They are willing to make sacrifices for the well-being of the other. This is a sweet story with city girl/country boy vibes but Reiner and Jada are also multi-layered characters who will touch your heart with their sincerity. There is a good supporting cast of family/friends that bring up realistic issues to be addressed. I love the way they communicate and the ending is very satisfying. Great read!

First things first! The story is very good. It has a good storyline and the characters are really well written and balanced. But as this was an ARC copy that I got and the story was just about to be published there should be very few typos and other errors. That sadly was not the case. There were just sooooooo many of them that I have no option but to take it down a star and am giving it nice three stars.

Jada met Reiner on the side of the road on a rainy night. She had no clue he was which made him very surprised. He stayed with her like a true Texas gentleman and waited until the tow truck came to take her car away. After she left they both realize I did not exchange numbers fast forward about maybe two weeks and he meet up again with her at a charity auction. From there things just get absolutely spontaneous. He makes plans for their date. And from there on the reality impossibly realistic romance comes to life. She does not realize that he is a well-known athlete and gets a little bit of social media issues. The only problem now is will his Texas family except her cityfolk family considering that race could be was split them apart. There is no cliffhanger.

Reiner is the star quarterback and head spokesman for his team so when he played knight in shining amour for Jada he just thought she like everyone else knew who he was. Her innocence in not knowing who he was threw him for a loop. She was not falling all over him or asking for anything! Jada was building her business and didn’t have time for fun and games. When she did find out who he was she was more determined to stay away but Reiner was hooked o the little lady. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
