Barnes & NobleMaven Wood is ready for a fresh start. After an injury on the soccer field leads to her dropping out of college, she needs a change.
When her godfatherāthe coach of the hottest team in the NFLātells her about an open position as a sports photographer, she jumps at the chance to apply. The pay is good, but it doesnāt cover her rent after her roommate moves out. Out of ideas, sheās not sure how sheās going to afford to make ends meetā¦ until the cute kicker comes to her rescue.
Dallas Lansfield never thought heād be a single dad, but heās embracing the role as best as he can. With a four-year-old that has too much energy and not enough time on his hands, he needs help.
Desperately.
So when he hears that his coachās goddaughter is looking for a way to make more money, he practically begs her to come be his nanny.
Maven and Dallas arenāt allowed to fall for each other. Getting involved with a player on the team is off-limits and a quick way to get fired. But what starts as a professional relationship turns into something deeper.
In front of people, theyāre colleagues. Behind the cameras, though, their attraction only grows. Late night talks turn into sharing a bed, and soon, Dallas would rather give up his career than give up the feelings he has for Maven.
He canāt have her. So why does he want her so damn bad?

Add to GoodreadsBuy on AmazonOverall, this was a fantastic little love story. Kat and James were adorable together, and although I typically dislike a third-act breakup, the writing of this one was superb. It’s not a breakup as much as a “we need to work on ourselves independently before this relationship can work” situation. It’s much better than miscommunication or, even worse, not communicating at all. Kat and James approached challenges maturely and made relationship choices that set a solid foundation for the future. It was a breath of fresh air to read a romance novel featuring a “healthy” couple, as opposed […]

Add to GoodreadsBuy on AmazonEh, it was ok. Honestly, I feel kind of icky now that Iāve finished it. The FMCās name is Christmas (Chrissy). Because she was born on Christmas Eve. Her brother is Forth. Because he was born on the Fourth of July. Seriously, I canāt make this shit up. Really, REALLY cheesy. I feel like MMC, Wyatt, threw up red flag after red flag. I just didn’t like him. He was too protective & alpha. In a creepy way. Maybe itās because this is a novella & there wasnāt time to develop the characters as much. Or maybe itās […]
