Maven 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 godfatherā€“the coach of the hottest team in the NFLā€“tells her about an open position as a sports photographer, she jumps at the chance to apply. The pay is good, but it doesnā€™t cover her rent after her roommate moves out. Out of ideas, sheā€™s not sure how sheā€™s going to afford to make ends meetā€¦ until the cute kicker comes to her rescue.

Dallas Lansfield never thought heā€™d be a single dad, but heā€™s 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 coachā€™s goddaughter is looking for a way to make more money, he practically begs her to come be his nanny.

Maven and Dallas arenā€™t 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, theyā€™re 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 canā€™t have her. So why does he want her so damn bad?

Overall, 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 […]
