After a divorce from her cheating football player ex, PR whiz Kim Matlock would rather drive a pine tree through her walled-off heart than work at the Seattle Wedding Expo. And the last thing she expects is to be grabbed and kissed breathless by a hot giant of a man looking to fend off a stalker. She doesn’t want emotional entanglements, but she can’t say no to one scorching night with the sexy … sexy stranger.
To her shock, she finds out afterward that a) he’s a pro football player, aka her kryptonite, and b) she’s pregnant.
But nothing could have prepared her for his response…

Loved this book! What was suppose to be one night turned into a lifetime connection when an unexpected pregnancy results from Ronin and and Kim’s one night of passion. Ronin a rough and tough football player with a heart of gold. Kim appears to be tough as nails and that may be true in business but when it comes to her personal life she’s scared and insecure. Can these two wounded souls open their hearts and let love in?
This book is wonderfully written, scorchingly hot, with a romance at the center that will steal your heart. I highly recommend it to everyone.
Rated 4.5 Stars
Scoring The Player’s Baby was funny, sexy, so damn hot and amazing. I found myself laughing loud many times while reading this book.
The sexy times damn near burned me to cinders. I loved every minute of it.
I loved watching Kim and Ronin not only fall for each other but grow as well. I loved that they found strength in each other, strength to overcome the things that had cast shadows over their lives.
I also loved the fact that the book highlighted the ways in which women, especially women of colour are treated/viewed in the workplace and relationships juxtaposing it with men.
I simply adored this story and highly recommend it.

This is my favorite book so far in the WAG’s stand alone series. Naima Simone did not disappoint. The characters and story kept me so interested that I did not want to put it down.
Ronin Palamo is a star player for Washington Warriors football team who is very close to his family. Kim Matlock is a divorcee from another football player that had sworn off all sports men. She has a great job as a VP in her family owned business that she doesn’t have a great relationship with her father. These two meet by accident do not exchange last names, but decide on one night together. When they go their separate ways little do they know that Kim will end up pregnant. They try to just co-parent but will it become more.
I highly recommend this book to anyone along with the other books in this series and also Kim’s brother and sister in law are from a millionaire at midnight.
***5 ‘Oh My Giddy Aunt’ Stars***
After finishing Scoring Off the Field I had secretly prayed that Ronin would be getting his book next, because he was my fav of the bunch, so imagine my giddy joy when the cover dropped (which is all KINDS of nummyness) and it just so happened to be Ronin’s??
Yup, you got it, squealing and internal happy dancing commenced and his, and Kim’s, story was everything I’d hoped it be. Sweet, smexy, frustrating (okay, maybe not this one, but expected) funny and filled with all kinds of heartmelting swoony goodness that made turning those pages so easy and has me wishing it didn’t end.
Ronin is so much more than the sum off all his parts and had my heart all kinds of twitterpated and my lady bits cheering. His past and his family have all molded him into the man that he is and while he has constructed a few walls around himself, he has a huge heart, charm and charisma which combined with his looks makes him absolutely lethal.
I adored Kim. She’s sassy, snarky and intelligent and despite what happened with her ex, she has picked herself up and taken charge of her life. This isn’t to say she isn’t a little bruised and nursing some wounds, but she is definitely a force to be reckoned with.
The whole one night stand with a stranger that ended up with me being pregnant thing was already going to be all kinds of interesting, but add in both Ronin and Kim’s pasts and all bets were off. I actually really enjoyed the push/pull between these two because it was so obvious that they fit well together in so many ways and the smexy was HAWT! OMG HAWT! The major roadblock wasn’t all that much of a surprise, but I loved what was done to get them back together and couldn’t have been happier with where they were at when the book was done.
This was another fun, smexy read and I really liked how the whole “Surprise! You’re a daddy!” situation was done. As for the crazy, wonderful supporting caste of characters, it was a lot of fun hanging out with all of them and meeting a couple I hadn’t met before, but now need to add their book to the never ending TBR list. But now the question is…will Jason and Renee’s book be next???
P.S. The muse for Ronin is spot on and I never saw the movie but I know the scene 😀
