Pick Six is the second book in the Maverick’s Series, but it can be read as a standalone. Now, what do I think of Pick Six. I have to say if you are looking for a LOT of laughs, this is a MUST read. The laughter starts in Chapter 1 and continues throughout the book. Six has so much MOXY! She is a strong lady who is true to herself. Now for Sean. He is so … umm … the man! He thinks highly of himself and with good reason. It is so much FUN seeing how Sean reacts to Six, and visa verse. There are so many pranks and genuine feeling between these two, that in the end when Sean finally gets it you go … AWE!
If you love reading about a super HOT COCKY football player, and the one who succeeds in scoring this HOTTIE then hit the button to buy this baby.
I might just have a new Max Monroe favorite heroine after reading their newest release, Pick Six.
There’s just something about Six Malone that resonated with me throughout the entirety of her and Sean’s book. It might be the fact that she doesn’t back down or mince words, even when it comes to a certain manwhore Maverick who just so happens to be her favorite NFL wide receiver. Or, it could be her independence, her feisty attitude, and the powerful woman she is within her pint-sized frame. Whatever it is, I am beyond smitten with this talented and creative vlogger, and I couldn’t wait to see her put Sean Phillips in his place, giving him a taste of his own medicine and challenging his self-perception when it comes to the ease with which he gets or takes whatever he wants.
Six is definitely a woman I would adore hanging out with because she’s genuine and caring, and even though she cusses like a sailor, which only makes me love her more, she doesn’t do it to be offensive; she does it because that’s who she is and it’s that playfulness…that outspokenness that not only tantalizes a certain NFL star but also keeps him coming back for more…despite his assertion that he can’t cope with any distractions during the season.
I can’t deny that Sean Phillips absolutely backs up his arrogance, both on and off the field. He most definitely has a magnetic personality – one that proves that he has every right to be the self-assured and larger-than-life athlete he is. But taking Sean down a few pegs wouldn’t hurt either, and I think that Six is the perfect girl for the job because she won’t stroke his ego, even if she wants to desperately stroke Sean’s ‘peen-asurus-rex’ that she just happened to see close up before she even met the egoistical man himself.
Pick Six is one hilarious romantic comedy. The relationships that Max Monroe creates between Sean, Quinn, and the other New York Mavericks illustrate the close bond created when a group of men work together for a common goal. And, the way the players allow Six into their inner circle and treat her as an honorary member of the team, giving her exclusive behind the scenes access and helping Six’s video blogger career gain even more notoriety and popularity is a testament to who she is and just how comfortable she is around these sexy AF football players.
I can’t get enough of Max Monroe’s heroes and heroines. They’re funnier than hell with fantastic personalities and the witty exchanges and sexual innuendoes make me blush and laugh out loud on a regular basis.
I’m completely intrigued by Cam, so I’m excited that his story is up next, and hopefully, readers will get to catch up with previous couples because my girl crush on Six Malone is still holding strong even after I finished the book.
4.5 Poison Apples
If you loved Cassie and Thatch from Banking the Billionaire you are absolutely going to fall in love with Sean and Six. Pick Six will have you laughing until you cry, it will warm your heart, have you on the edge of your seat and will have the heat rushing through you from top to bottom. If you thought Cassie was crazy, well she has nothing on the little spitfire named Six. This girl is feisty, quick witted and knows how to seek revenge in the best of ways. Sean is the man whore of the Mavericks team because who needs relationships and commitment to distract you from being the best of the best, when those things can always come later. When the man with the ego the size of New York meets a woman who is tiny in size but has a personality the size of Texas he finds being distracted might be just what he needs after all. This book was a huge touch down for me with the celebratory dance to top it off.
I’m typically not a football girl, but that has changed thanks to the Mavericks.
Let’s chat about our heroine, Six. She’s hilarious and crazy and my spirit animal. She is a popular vlogger who has signed on to do a series of shows based on the hottest team in football, the Mavericks. With a hilarious introduction to the team and their…”friends”, it’s obvious from the beginning that Six will fit in just fine with these hot jocks.
Sean is a player. Cocky, conceded and handsome, he has every right to be all of those things. He’s one of the best players on the team. But gaining Six’s attention isn’t as easy as Sean is used to, giving the player quite the complex.
This story is cute, fun and hot. Another touchdown for Max Monroe!
Wow! Max Monroe, you two are the MVP’s of sports romance writing. This book — these witty, sexy characters — hilarious banter — the best of rom-com.
There is always something about these author’s writing and unique quality of their humor that sets them a level above the rest. There are plenty of rom-coms out there. But there is just something extraordinary about Max Monroe’s ability to capture and hold by attention with my giddy smile perpetually in place from start to finish. I copied more quotes in my kindle notes in the first chapter than I do in most books. Not using them – that would spoil the fun for of you reading my review. So many brilliantly articulated lines. Buy this book! Gah I can’t gush enough!
Six is a vlogger from California who lands a deal to film a few episodes with the Mavericks. She is sweet, sassy, beautiful and can hold her own in a room full of pro football players. Sean is handsome, talented, a bit of a one and done kinda guy. Until…until he meets his match with Six. These two feel an immediate pull. A strong attraction. Chemistry. I love that Six doesn’t give in to Sean’s charm and makes him work for everything. Gives him a bad time at every opportunity. Naughty boys like to be challenged and Sean definitely gets served some humble pie throughout this story. Their fling is cleverly written. Sexy as hell. Nonstop hilarity.
Will these two keep their hook up a secret? Will they catch a bout of the feels or part ways when the filming is done and go back to their lives unchanged?
This books is a standalone in the series and an absolute must read! Great supporting cast from Mavericks Tackle book 1 and from their Bad Boy Billionaire series. Love how these are intertwined.
Another epically awesome romcom from Max Monroe! I started reading this book after being woken up obnoxiously early one Sunday by my youngest, who then promptly fell back asleep. I was honestly worried that I was going to wake up my family because I kept laughing out loud so much.
Ever since being introduced to Sean Phillips in Banking the Billionaire, I had been wondering if we’d see him get his own book. Sean started out as bit of a cocky douche, but he got his comeuppance from Six and in the end, he ended up being just as great a book boyfriend as you’d expect. And let me just say that I have SUCH a girlcrush on Six. She’s confident, and manages to put Sean in his place without being a total evil witch about it.
I can’t wait to read the next book in the Mavericks series!
*I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.*
Pick Six …Six and Sean !
Get ready for a funny, sexy ride with the elusive manwhore Sean and the sassy ballbuster Six. This may be a match made in RomCom heaven!
Six is a Vlogger and has ben hired by the Mavericks to cover 8 episodes. They will include behind the scenes and funny cute skits. Six tells them make it fun, keep it mostly clean be yourself and show the fans that personality !
Six is all too aware of who and what Sean Phillips is and once she over hears him referencing her well game on! She is about to play the player . This is a laugh out loud funny road to figuring each other out! Falling for someone has never been so hilarious !! SO GOOD !
~~Michele McMullen ~~
This Romantic Comedy by the author duo of Max Monroe has again scored a touchdown! There are so many laugh-out-loud and snort-worthy moments!!
We start off with Six Malone, who is a popular Vlogger. She got a gig to make 8 episodes covering the Football team “Mavericks”, which is owned by Wes, if you’ve read their previous Billionaire Bad Boys series. From that series, we know Georgia, who works there and we know of Cassie’s brother Sean, who plays for the Mavericks.
Let me start off by saying both the female and male protagonists are POCs (persons of color) in a story where race is not mentioned beyond the description of the characters. I LOVE that, and I love Max Monroe for that.
We need more of that, where POC characters are featured in books but race isn’t made an issue in the story. Six Malone, the popular Vlogger is so charismatic, she’s one of these people you wish you could be friends with. She’s spunky and hilarious and you never know what’s going to come out of her mouth next. She might be short but her personality is HUGE. And she loves the Mavericks, so this is a dream opportunity for her to go behind the scenes and feature both their games and what goes on when they’re not playing.
Sean Phillips (Cassie’s brother) is quite simply best described as a manwhore with an over-inflated ego. He’s one of the best players and can get any woman he wants. And he’s vocal about it. So vocal about it that Six accidentally overhears Sean telling his teammates how he’s laying claim to her and HOW EASY IT WILL BE TO GET HER.
What happens next is a series of events Six plans to knock Sean’s ego down several notches no matter how much he pursues her. The results are hysterical. And the banter between them is so funny, it’s best to not drink any beverages while reading. Unless you want to spit your beverage out while you’re laughing.
Also the book is seriously sexy, because despite the lesson Six is teaching Sean, their chemistry is off the charts. This is a definite 5 out of 5.
I was generously provided an advanced readers copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I freakin love this book!!! Sean is the shit, Six is my new best friend, and everyone around me now thinks I’m crazy since I kept randomly laughing while reading this. It was awesome!
When I started Pick Six, I was suffering from an epic book hangover. All it took was half of the first chapter and I was already dying laughing and wiping tears from eyes.
Six is a vlogger who is doing a video series with the Mavericks. She’s sassy, outgoing, hilarious, and I could probably keep going with all of the amazing adjectives. When she meets Sean for the first time, it was off the charts chemistry; until he gets foot-in-mouth syndrome. Then, because Six is savage and hardcore, she decides to take him down a peg. Everything she did him had me dying laughing.
In true MM fashion, this rom-com is AMAZING!! I cried from laughing so hard. I can’t wait for more Mavericks!!
Yesss!!! Max and Monroe have scored another touchdown!! Pick Six is everything I love about a Max Monroe rom com. Fun and sexy with an outstanding group of completely crazy characters. I looooved this book. It had me cackling way into the early morning with its ridiculously funny dialogue and the abundance of penis jokes. (Lol. I’m a sucker for a good penis joke.) I don’t think you could wipe the smile off my face right now.
I’m always attracted to character driven stories. Max Monroe have some of the best. Sean and Six had some serious chemistry; in and out of the bedroom. I LOVED Six Malone. She’s a strong, independent and fierce heroine. With her humor and all her sass, she’s able to hold her own against the most self assured group of guys. The way she is able to put Sean in his place…gah!… she’s my hero. Speaking of Sean, I really enjoyed seeing Sean’s growth in this book. Yes, he’s a cocky, confident, player but as the story goes on, you see more of what’s underneath. You can tell how much her cares about Six. It’s really sweet. I always love to watch a manwhore fall and Sean falls hard.
If you’re looking to laugh, you need this book!! I was coming off back to back to back emotional reads so this book was exactly what I needed. The Mavericks Tackle Love series is becoming one of my favorites. First, I fell head over heels for the swoony Quinn Bailey in Wildcat. Now, I’m in awe of everything about Pick Six. Plus, It’s always fun to revisit the Billionaire gang even if it’s just a little bit.

Mary Jo –
Sean Phillips has his hands full when he decides he wants Six. Six is no shrinking violet and he doesn’t know how to read her. The only woman he knows that is remotely like Six is his crazy sister, Cassie. And if she really is anything like Cassie, heaven help him.
Six doesn’t play games, not even with pro football players. When she overheard Sean talking about her, she knows she will have to take his ego down a peg or two. Too bad he’s not.
Fluffing loved this book and I want the shirt!! Six and Sean are great together and the cameos by Kloergie was awesome! The only person missing was Winnie!!
Thatch was hilarious as always but Cass made a new friend and I can’t wait for the next Kelley/Phillips Holliday novella.
Ruthie –
This is the second book in the series, and it is a great follow on from Wildcat! It runs in the same world as the Billionaire Bad Boys, and loyal fans will enjoy encountering some of them again. Another great sports romance, this time with a vlog series about the Mavericks, bringing us the very energetic and happy character of Six. There is plenty of sport, both from the side of an invested spectator and the players, with just the right mix of success and hard work to be believable and interesting.
Once again, we get both sides of the story – which makes for a lot of fun, and as Six is making a series about the Mavs, the opportunity for fun and teasing is ramped up quite a lot. She needs to be around the team a lot… although her first encounter is not exactly scripted, lol! Both she and Sean fight their attraction to each other, and pass it off as an elongated hookup, but we know better, and fans of Max Munroe will know that somehow it is guaranteed to work… even with a number of twists along the way.
It was fab to catch up with Cassie, who is as crazy as ever, and as in lust with husband, Thatch, as much as when they first met. Her developing friendship with Six is a great addition to the book.
I highly recommend you grab a copy and settle down to read Pick Six, ideally after having enjoyed Wildcat, and no doubt you will add the next two books to your wishlist (just like I have!)
Reviewers on the Wicked Reads Review Team were provided a free copy of Pick Six (Mavericks Tackle Love #2) by Max Monroe to read and review.
What is it about Sean Phillips that makes him so irresistible? He’s arrogant, often cocky, and he definitely has a knack for putting his foot in his mouth.
Maybe it’s because he’s sexy, charming, and inherently likable even when he opens his big mouth. Or could it be that he’s not full of hot air? He’s more than capable of backing up his claims and that confidence he possesses is the sexiest of all. He’s just…fun! And underneath all that he’s actually a really good guy. He’s sweet, considerate, and capable of more than anyone gives him credit for.
And Six? Oh my gosh! I couldn’t possibly love her more than I already do! She’s so fun, quirky, no-filtered, bold, sexy, charming – you name it, the list goes on. She’s the perfect challenge to Sean. And when the two get together, not only do sparks fly, but so do the jokes, teases, and innuendos.
This book was so much fun to read! It may only be my second helping of Max Monroe, but it won’t stay that way for long! If you’re looking for a five-star read that’s both funny and sexy, you’ve come to the right place!
This book is exactly why I read. I am a huge Rom-Com fan. Always have been, always will be. I love when an author or an duo of authors can make me laugh like I have never laughed before. Pick Six is one of those Rom-Com’s that had me laugh and snort like a dang pig. I also might add , I never snort-laugh, and with this book you would have thought you were on a farm if you was around me while I was reading, because I could not stop snort-laughing. This book has it all. For the most part it is a light read with some very intriguing one liners. The insults were fluffing epic, and the chemistry… BOOM… explosive. Pick Six flows so effortlessly, it’s like you look up and then back down and it’s over, and then you wanna throw a tantrum because it’s like you never want it to end, even though the epilogue is legendary. Like the best of the best epilogues. But Six and Sean’s story is just so fluffing amazing you never want it to be over. So I am going to try and not be overzealous about both Six and Sean because you definitely deserve to meet each of them.
Six, gahhhhhhhhhh, when I grow up I want to be just like her. She is literally my most favorite heroine I have ever read about . This tiny but beautiful human is a spit fire with a huge personality to go along with it. Six is also known as having the “energy of a toddler and a body of a woman.”
Sean Phillips.. Can I just lick him first and say he’s mine because I got the first taste? Because holy crap he’s just all man with a HUGE “ego”, and a smile that will bring you to your knees. Also, let’s be honest he is great with his hands as well, being that he catches footballs for a living.
Look, I have went on and on about how amazing this book is. This is the best Rom-Com I have read this year heck, maybe ever, and I guarantee you many others can attest to that. As I said above, this book is just everything. I can not wait to see what else Max Monroe comes up with, because they are keeping me on my toes with everything they are writing, and I can never not read anything they write because they are brilliant in the literary world.
Pick Six is book 2 in the Mavericks Tackle Love series from Max Monroe. One of my favorite elements of this book was having the main characters being POC! I adored Six and Sean and their interactions with one another. It was steamy and sweet in all the right places. I didn’t quite feel the “spark” between them the way I felt it between QB & Cat BUT that’s not to say it wasn’t there.
I loved the ribbing Six would pull over on Sean and I really liked seeing the guys make her feel so welcome and like part of the team.
My favorite parts were the half time show (Go Rhi-Rhi!!) and the ending (swoon).
My favorite rom com duo has scored again with Pick Six! Max Monroe upped their game with this book. Pick Six is a very sweet story with a lot of sexy, steamy moments.
I have a huge girl crush on Six Malone! She is the type of person who doesn’t take herself too seriously. She rolls with the punches and has a sense of humor to rival the best of them (think Cassie Kelly). Sean Phillips is a superstar wide receiver for the New York Mavericks. Known for being able to score on and off the field. He is sexy AF and he knows it.
From the moment Sean met Six, he was under Six’s spell. As a man with lots of confidence, he went in for the kill. However, Six is not your typical girl who is going to fall to her knees and worship at Sean’s temple (although after getting an eyeful in the locker room, I wouldn’t blame her). Nope, she had Sean’s number. Six being a little ballbuster, does all she can to knock Sean’s ego down a peg or two. Hilarity ensued! The banter was hysterical. I loved how hard Sean had to work to break down Six’s walls. Once he did, talk about fire! Sean definitely met his match!
I knew this book was going to be a winner when I was laughing during chapter one. The thoughts in Six’s head cracked me up and were so entertaining. From the moment she screws up her first day of work by taking a wrong turn and “meeting” the team she will be doing her vlogs on you know Six is going to perfect for Sean. Sean is a wide receiver for the Mavericks and full of confidence on and off the field. Six overhears Sean staking a claim on her and saying he will have her before any of the others can have a chance well she won’t let that happen and decides to turn the tables on him. After a few tricks she pulls on him she has really knocked his confidence a little but it also causes him to start liking her more than just as a one night stand kind of thing. He does after all have a reputation with the ladies. Well neither of them can keep their lips or hands off of each other and start to fall for each other. These two were so great for each other. Sean needed a woman that didn’t fall all over him and be fake. Six was exactly what he needed, she didn’t fawn all over him and she hung with his teammates as if she was just one of the guys.
I chuckled throughout this book and would definitely recommend it. Loved seeing Georgia, Kline, Wes, Cassie and Thatcher pop up in this book. Always adds a little more humor to situations.
*5 Stars*
ARC kindly received in exchange for an honest review.
Max and Monroe are the best at writing a good old fashioned rom-com. Pick Six was so much damn fun! Right from the start when we meet Six, and her naughty and hilarious thoughts, I was hooked.
And Sean Phillips? Well, he’s Cassie’s brother so of course we were going to like him! Haha.
This book is perfect if you’re looking for a fun and light hearted read. I sped through it and I thoroughly enjoyed being in Sixy’s world.
Also her chemistry with Sean is awesome, and her bond with the other teammates was wonderful as well.
Full of laugh out loud moments, and some glimpses of the BBB gang, you can’t go wrong. There’s not really much that needs to be said, apart from the fact that this one is so much fun and you won’t be disappointed.
Definitely recommend.
This book! I thought I loved QB, however Sean was everything!
I was hooked right from the get go. Six had her very own #cockygate right at the beginning of this book, and it made me laugh so hard.
Six is the bomb1 I want to be her so much. She is funny, feisty, all that and a bag of chips!
I love how she knocks Sean down a peg or two, however I also love how he takes it all on board and goes after what he wants… Six.
I loved getting more of the Mavericks boys, especially QB! I freaking love him and Cat.
And #OhMyThatch he makes an appearance or two!
I love the push/pull between our lovelies, but ugh Six! Girl, enough with the I want him/I don’t want him bizzo! I will take him off your hands in a heartbeat.
Run, don’t walk to your nearest retailer, you need Sean in your life.
Pick Six is another amazing read by Max Monroe! I loved this! It was an amazingly hilarious read! I love love Sean Phillips! He was sexy, cocky and swoony! He’s my second favorite, next to Thatch of course! Six Malone was awesome! She was sweet and sassy and had a great sense of humor! She reminded me of Cassie! This is probably my second favorite read by MM. I loved that Cassie is Sean’s sister because she and Thatch were in this a good amount, because I love them! This is definitely a must read!
