“Are you sleeping with my daughter?”

Not a question I want to hear from my coach. The man holding my pro future in the palm of his hand. 

The answer: No, sir.

The real answer: I’d sure as hell like to be.

Marisa’s been my best friend since third grade. And now she needs my help—and a place to stay. Senior year was supposed to be the year to keep some distance until the season finished and my draft prospects were safe. 

But resisting her is becoming impossible. Movie Thursdays under the blankets. Study sessions on my bed. Wild party nights where I kept any guy interested at bay with a single glare. 

Her dad can bench my ass for the entire season, so she’s off limits—for now. 

She’s the only woman I’ve ever loved. And one heated night, I can’t stop fighting every cell in my body and can’t stop myself from sampling her sexy smile, her sweet smell, and her sultry curves. 

We’re walking a tightrope with my future on the line. Let’s just make sure Coach doesn’t find out...

This book was amazing. I loved the story and these characters so much. 

This book follows Marisa who is struggling with a lot at the moment. She has a growing passion for her best friend. She knows where she wants to end up at the end of college but isn't totally sure if it's the right move. 

LJ is just the ultimate cinnamon roll hero. He cares so much for Marisa and it makes me swoon every time. He is totally my new book boyfriend! He also is aiming to play pro football at the end of college. Guess what? Marisa's dad is his coach. 

The reason why I really loved this story was because of Marisa's relationship with both of her parents. It just was really heartbreaking. I also loved how the author built up the romance between the two characters and created this epic feeling of longing between the characters. This book is one of my new favorites of all time. Please go pick this up when it comes out this Thursday.  This book will also be on Kindle Unlimited!
