Book two of the Playing Dirty series. Can be read as stand-alone, told in dual POV with HEA! Quinton a quarterback for a professional football team has women falling at his feet. His world is turned upside down when a newborn baby is left on his door with a note. Callie is lonely living thru the worst betrayal by her husband and her sister.

Loved Quinton and Callie! Loved how pure Quintons love for Callie and Brady are and how determined he is but yet tender and compassionate at the same time.

Quinton finds a baby on his doorstep. Tracking down the mother doesn’t have the intended result. Instead he finds Callie and everything changes. But can Callie trust him?
Letting go of their pasts isn’t easy and almost details them.
I Fell hard for Quinton in Ballbuster book one of this series but OMG I LOVED him in this book!!!!
I absolutely LOVE Lane Hart and her books, This book picks up right where ballbuster left off with Quinton finding the baby on his doorstep.
I laughed hard so many times while reading this, because well there were parts that were so well written that I know I have experianced the same thing, one being the scene in the car when Quinton had to roll all the windows down due to the smell, and then the scene in the baby store where he used the changing table, I could go on and on but wont you HAVE to read this book. I LOVED how Callie was with Quinton, He had to earn her trust and earn her love, They were so perfect for each other and the fact that she was a bit older then him for me that was a wonderful addition to the story, you just dont see that often in books. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this book and I also recommend that you get Lane Harts Cocky Cage Fighter series as well. another AMAZING set of stories!!
I was torn between 4 and 5 stars for this book. Normally I will only bestow 5 stars on a book that has blown me away. This is too lightweight for doing that BUT the sheer quality of writing has to be recognised.
Quinton really grew on me and despite his many conquests was neither arrogant or full of himself. I loved that deep down he was searching for ‘the one’, and he was quite humble about his intelligence and also his future.
Cassie carried so much pain and mistrust that even though , at times, I wanted to shake her I could understand her insecurities. Quinton’s calm strength in dealing with them was refreshing different to read.
The story flows smoothly, the pace is good and I thoroughly enjoyed this entertaining and soul warming read.
5*
Callie sister bianca betrayed her by having an affair with her husband.
Quinton is a famous quarterback with no problem getting the girls love & leave em is his motto. Unfortunately a baby dropped on his door step proves challenging when no name is attached to the note is he the father & where is the mother?
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.
Brilliant must read
Loved Quinton and Callie! Loved how pure Quinton’s love for Callie and Brady are and how determined he is but yet tender and compassionate at the same time.
Callie and Quinton . This is a story of circumstances and two people being thrown together that need to try to work as a team.
Quinton is a quintessential bad boy football player. He spends his days on the field making his team proud and then spends his nights with his female adoring fans….tough life. He finds a baby on the doorstep with a note and now the game begins. He knows that he always practices safe sex but that one night with a beautiful waitress he thinks he knows. He lands on the doorstep of Callie and that waitress was her sister. Callie is going though her own mess. She is divorcing her cheating husband and a playboy footballer has just landed on her doorstep with the last link to her sister. I loved how they came together for the sake of the child and learned a bit more each day about one another.
Loved it !

We first met Quinton in Ballbuster. He’s a player on and off the field but this time all that action has one small yet big consequence, a baby left on his doorstep! In Quinton’s search for the baby’s mother another surprise pops up…her very angry and attractive sister Callie. Callie has a lot of reasons to be angry. Life has always given her the short end of the stick despite the fact that she’s a really good person and has been always taking care of everyone around her. The one thing that she’s always wanted has been a baby and here her sister had that and left him with some playboy football star! Perfect Spiral is loaded with laughs, angst, heat and surprises. I always recommend reading the first book in a series because of the inter-connected characters however it does stand alone. It’s told from dual POV and it’s a fun surprise baby sports romance.
A wonderful book! Great characters and plot, a definite must read! I lived it! Well worth five stars!
Funny, sexy, and a little bit sweet. This sports romance is a good blend of heat and heart. A good storyline that will make you laugh and then touch your heart. The chemistry between Quinton and Callie is hot and they generate plenty of sparks, whether they are verbally sparring or giving into their mutual attraction. A very pleasurable read.
Having read the first book in the series I enjoyed getting to read Quinton’s story. He’s a quarterback with women throwing their panties at him and he is not averse to sharing himself around. One night a baby is dropped off on his doorstep with a note saying he is the father. In his search for the baby’s mother he encounters her sister Callie. Callie doesn’t know who he is and she’s not one to fall all over him. Their journey is a little tempestuous but also very sweet.
This is a great series!
Quinton Dunn, the hot shot QB for the Wilmington Wildcats…. Callie Clarke, your average 30-something woman. What brings 2 people like this together??? A baby! His son/her nephew. He wanted a challenge and she gave it to him. When he finally wins her over, she still wasn’t making it easy on him. I love that he never gave up on her. He never gave up , or let her give up , on getting her pregnant. He never gave up on getting her to trust him. And in the end, they both got what they wanted.
I was in love with Kohen and Roxy. I fell even more in love with Quinton and Callie. From what I have read of Lathan in the first 2 books, I know I will love him too and I can’t wait to read about the special woman he’s saved himself for.
Perfect Spiral by Lane Hart a perfect five-star read. This is the second book in the second book in the Playing Dirty series and it just gets better with each book, I am eagerly awaiting the third book as the Wildcats have me hooked. Quinton is a star quarterback, it’s all he knows, that and drinking and having fun. But when he opens his door one evening the thing he wasn’t expecting to find was a baby, seems his wayward past is catching up to him. I loved Quinton when we met him in the first book if the series Ballbuster, where his cheeky attitude made him a lovable rouge. In this story, he has to grow up fast and it shows him in a different light, a light I loved.
Callie is a woman with the world on her shoulders and it’s about to get heavier, she is beaten down but in typical Lane Hart fashion she doesn’t let her leading lady stay down, she writes them with the skill to be more than they ever realised and she allows them to be the strong leading lady they deserve to be.
Lane Hart is one of those authors you leap at the thought of them releasing another book, I am fast working my way through everything she has written, my only worry is what will I do when I have read them all? I can only harass her so much to get writing, I know she has a family and all. But I do secretly hope I win the lottery so I can do a misery style affair but I would be kind and wouldn’t chain her up, and I would invite the family. But no distractions as we need more books. Mmmmm a girl can dream and buy more tickets.
I received an ARC of this book for an voluntary honest review. I enjoyed this book as much as the first book, Ballbuster. The story pulls you in quickly, keeps you guessing & hoping that Quinton can win Callie’s heart & get her pregnant, cause they are perfect for each other! This is a fast paced story, that I found it hard to put down. Loved that Quinton recognizes that he wants a challenge in a relationship & not the loose women throwing themselves at him because he’s a star football player or super wealthy or good looking. This tied in with the first book, but readers won’t be lost if they didn’t read the first book, & this has the HEA we readers all want!
Callie’s been cheated and mistreated by both her husband and her sister. All she’s ever dreamed of was being a mother but after years of trying she concedes it isn’t in her future. But the worse of it all is when she learns her sister is pregnant and it’s more than likely Callie’s husband is the father.
Quinton is tired of the easy pickups his position as starting quarterback for the Wildcats allows him. He doesn’t say no to them, but he keeps waiting for the one woman that can see him as more than his job, name and bank account. When a baby is deposited on his doorstep he doesn’t have a clue who the mother could be. But when he follows the barely remembered trail of a night long forgotten he meets Callie. And suddenly, that dream of a woman who sees him as just HIM, is standing right there.
This book had a lot of hits and near misses for me. At times I was upset by the decisions the heroine made and that the hero yielded to. But suddenly one or the other took a different step that I wasn’t expecting and that near miss was the perfect hit. I felt the struggle Callie had and the despair Quinton experienced as they faced a standoff that had the potential to destroy the promise of a future together.
This was a fast paced read, just a bit angsty at times, the steam factor in the red zone and with great secondary characters. I’m extremely curious about Lathan’s story and will definitely be checking it out ASAP!
I am a huge fan of Lane Hart and let me start off by saying she definitely did not disappoint with this book! I was so excited to see what happened with Quinton’s story after getting a glimpse at the end of Ballbuster and to say I couldn’t put it down is an understatement. I’m not sure how Lane can possibly top each book but she did and definitely scored a “Touchdown” with this one! I loved that bad boy Quinton was truly looking for the one woman who would love him for him and not the fame and fortune they could get by being with him. If you are looking for a fun, sweet and sexy read this is definitely the book for you! You will definitely not be able to put it down, it will pull you in and leave you wanting more! Thank you for another amazing read Lane!
