Bad boy quarterback Tyler Harris plays ball for a living and breaks hearts for a hobby. With two championships in as many years, Tyler is the best quarterback in the league. Gorgeous and rich, he’s at the top of his game. Women love him. Men want to be him. Only Tyler’s not feeling the love. In fact, he’s not feeling anything at all. Licking his wounds after a scandal and a breakup with his … breakup with his longtime girlfriend, he retreats to a run-down mansion on a remote island in the Pacific Northwest. Once there, Tyler is blindsided by the sassy redhead next door. He knows that he’s met his match and possibly his soul mate. There’s one problem. She doesn’t feel the same way.
Lavender Mead has a good reason to dislike jocks, namely an absentee father who deserted the family to coach college football. By all accounts, her new neighbor is everything she deplores in a man. But Tyler’s not the shallow superstar she expected, and she’s reluctantly drawn to football’s unabashed bad boy. Once she gives in to his considerable charms, the two are so hot together, they’re combustible.
As the clock ticks down, can they commit to each other forever? Or will they both fall short of the goal at the last minute?

Thank you Jami Davenport for bringing us into your world! I have enjoyed my time spent reading Snap Decision and I hope you take the time to enjoy the perfect writing that draws you into not only the story but the characters minds and struggles.
Tyler and Lavender are two kindred spirits. Hurt, lost and searching for peace from personal heartache in Lavender’s case and professional uncertainty in Tyler’s situation. They may not like each other in the beginning but their chemistry was hard to deny and that was enough to catapult them into a relationship that neither of them ever expected.
I just loved these two and was rooting for them to finally find their HEA.
4 1/2 sassy stars. I really liked Tyler and Lavender’s story. I just love her spunk and sass and the way she verbally spars with the cocky yet very sexy Tyler. He is not used to women not falling all over him and much to his surprise he is thoroughly enjoying the attitude his fiery new neighbor gives him. Tyler is not everything she thought he was though which she learns through their “ I don’t like you sex” relationship. Their chemistry is off the charts so they are super sexy, hot and steamy together. But they are so much more and that is what sneaks up on both of them without them noticing. I love the storyline all around.
I had a hard time getting started with this book. Once I finally did I enjoyed it. Tyler’s long lost uncle has passed away. When he find out he has inherited a mansion he just wants to sell and move on. Lavender is beside herself and has plans for the property that she thought was to be left to her by her elderly friend. Fate and Tyler’s uncle had other plans. This was a good book. I wish I would have known there were other books in this series. That way I would have had some of the back story that I was missing.
This bad boy just might have met his match! Tyler needs to get away from life for awhile, and when an opportunity falls into his lap, he takes it. He might complain about it while doing so, but he’s needing this time away more than anything. His feisty neighbor on the other hand, might be just what he needs indeed! I had a hard time connecting with these two at first. There was a good bit of a drag for awhile, but eventually their personalities started to meld and I found myself rooting for them. A little slow, but a solid read in the end.
Star quarterback Tyler Harris is coming off of the high of winning two Super Bowls, but he’s not feeling the excitement that he should. He’s losing his love the game, and he needs to try to get his head back into it before anyone notices. The inheritance of a run-down family home on a hard to reach island might be just the down-time that he needs … especially once he catches sight of his sexy neighbor!
Lavender Mead despises self-absorbed jocks! She was abandoned by one as a child, dumped by a few along the way and she’s officially sworn off of them in recent years. Now she’s got the most egotistical one of all smack dab in the middle of her peace and quiet. If she can run him out of town quickly she might be okay … but having to spend time with him just might be her downfall!
Snap Decision is an enemies to lovers story that hooked me from start to finish and I really enjoyed it.
Tyler is a football player who doesn’t feel his game anymore,Lavender is a sassy woman with a deep loathing for jocks.
When they meet on a remote island in the Pacific Northwest they seem lost,both of them fearing the future but the chemistry between them is off the charts.Between an energetic sex escapade and a good bantering we see them growing up as individuals and as a couple.
I don’t have read every book in the series but I recommend this author to all the sports romance fans,you won’t be disappointed.
