everywhere.

Review by Lisa Kane
I love hot football romances! In real life, I don't even watch football, but for some reason those wide shoulder pads, tight abs and thick thigh encased uniforms check off all my boxes!
Lucas Carrington has dreamed of this day. The day he will get drafted to play for the Patriots. He and his older brother have sacrificed everything to get to this point. So when a twist of fate leads to Lucas being drafted as the new quarterback for the Chicago Bears, he sucks it up and accepts. He wants to get out of Chicago, but it looks like he is here to stay. But his crappy attitude just might lose him his big chance.
When it turned out football contracts weren't as ironclad as I had so naively thought, I got a new and improved attitude, and fast.
Gillian Whitney is almost done school. She'll have her doctorate in athletic training and more than likely will lead a normal life other than in football. That's what her father wants for her. She, on the other hand, was raised in the world of football, her dad was a former hot shot player and is now the coach for the Bears.
Football wasn't an option, though. Even if I could get a permanent job in the field, my father insisted I stay away from it. He didn't want me spending anymore of my life on the road. The guilt he felt for the years we'd done just that was enough to make me agree, even if begrudgingly so.
Personally, I'd love every minute of it.
Lucas and Gillian's first meeting is unconventional to say the least and he gets injured as a result.
"Hey, there, Strawberry Fields," he said, with a wink.
Gillian feels a ton of guilt since it kinda sorta was her fault and she's determined to get him back in fighting shape. Lucas might be attracted to her, but she's the coach's daughter and def off limits!
This insanely hot, flirty, bold player with a brooding side was my father's golden egg.
Work together turns to playing together which means hiding out their relationship together. How can they keep business separate and still be together? There's lots of angst and heartbreak. Score!
Closer. I needed to be closer. I leaned my forehead against hers. "Please, Gillian, tell me what I need to do to make things right and I'll do it. Anything. I swear."

Disappointed, she unwrapped her arms from her body, and then
pivoted on her toe in the direction of the open door. “Then it looks like we
have nothing further to discuss, Lucas.”

I reached for her and tugged her to me. “I don’t want to
want you,” I breathed, my mouth hovering just centimeters from hers.

Gillian tried to pull away, but not whole-heartedly. If she

I took her face in my hands. “I can’t. I don’t know how to.”
“Neither do I,” she whispered.
Unable to stop myself, I crashed my lips to hers and drove
my tongue into her mouth to retrace every inch that I had explored days ago.
