Wildcat was the first book in the Mavericks Tackle Love series by Max Monroe, an author duo. It was my first book by the authors.
Quinn Bailey was the quarterback for the NFL team, the New York Mavericks. He was gorgeous, famous, focused, admired, well liked and well respected.
Catharine “Cat” Wild was a flight attendant that Quinn met when he traveled from New York back to his hometown in Alabama. She was not a sports lover so she had no idea who he was other than the sexy and nice man in 2A.
It was a story of a famous professional athlete and the everyday girl next door. It was well written and developed, but was slow for me for the first half. But with that said, I loved the second half. And I really grew to love both the hero and heroine.
Although the sex level heightened when they were fully a couple, it had a sweet vibe from beginning to end. And from a practicality standpoint, the storyline was probably representative of true life since our typical daily grind is fairly uneventful. Overall, it portrayed a journey of two insanely busy schedules within a famous and non-famous couple. It also tossed in a southern upper crust conflict. Hopefully, that aspect wasn’t real for today’s society, but unfortunately, it may be real for some.
I also enjoyed the cast of secondary characters, although I could have used more depth with them. And please let there be a story between Casey and Denver. Even if not together, they need their stories – although they would be perfect for each other.
And finally, through Quinn and Cat the authors set the stage for the remainder of the Maverick series. I loved the bantering and the bonding. Sean Phillips, the Mavericks funny and loud star wide receiver, is up next in Pick Six.
Fantastic read! Quinn is everything! Alpha, flirty totally swoon worthy and a sexy football QB. Absolutely loved the storyline, the chemistry between Quinn and Cat is scorching! Their banter will swell your heart and make you laugh out loud! Can’t wait to read Pick Six.
The story was not what I expected. Very good!
This was categorized as “erotic romance”; it’s not. It is a sweet enough story, and there is enough character development that you can like or dislike the players, and why they get together follows one of the common “romance formula”; handsome man sees stunning woman and does what he must to have her. Using “50 Shades” as the Rated X, erotic end of the spectrum (not because its the best,but its the most well-known), and “Harlequin Romances” as the G-Rated end of the spectrum – this book is more Harlequin than 50 Shades. I’d rate it a PG, a “Danielle Steele”, definitely not erotic, but PG because it does contain sex scenes that are skimpy on details. If you like Harlequin Romance, you’ll enjoy this. It’s quite simple and easy to read.
Enjoyed the characters. Easy to read
Loved this! Both characters are actually likable
This was a fun story. You never knew what was going to happen next. Quinn was in predictable. It was a fun flight attendant romance.
Loved the story line and the bi-racial relationship! Finger’s crossed that there is a future book on Quinn’s brother Denny!
I thought this was a great book. Many times I was laughing out loud!
I love this series. If you haven’t read anything by Max Monroe – now is the time. Characters that will make you laugh out loud and root for their happily ever after!
Fun read. Loved the interaction with all the characters.
A good read.
Loved it!! Really awesome (and hot!) story.
Max Monroe always writes a quality romance. This is not literature by any means but so many romance novels are poorly done. Good characters as well as a full plot. Enjoyed reading it and will look for more books by Max.
I started this book thinking who does this guy think he is at 10pm….I looked up it was 4am!! This book drew you in like you had a first hand seat in the minds of its characters. I could not put it down!! Each character it introduced may you laugh harder! You seriously could feel each emotion as the characters worked through thier life. It introduced topics in a way that you didn’t expect a love story to do. Okay…I loved it!!!
So WOW. Way more than I was expecting. This book dealt with some very real everyday issues, in a sometimes blunt but always tactful manner, had a good dose of humor, and of course the HEA. I’ve already read the next one and can’t wait for the series to finish out.
I found this book hard to get into.
Slow difficult to get into, had to make myself to read it. Did not like Casey character.lack of substance.
Great romantic, funny and steamy book!
