Get ready to fall in love with this new standalone sports romance from New York Times bestselling author Kim Karr.
He’s the newly drafted quarterback.
Hot.
Arrogant.
Too sexy for words.
Ready to score.
I’m an athletic intern, and the coach’s daughter.
Driven.
Determined.
Prepared to conquer the world.
Completely off-limits.
The NFL is full of rules. Rules I’ve never broken. Never challenged. Never even scratched—until the day Lucas Carrington crashes into my life with his hard body and I-don’t-give-a-f*ck attitude.
After I almost injure my father’s star player, I volunteer to make sure he’s in top shape. At first, it’s hell. I don’t like his attitude, his cockiness, his easy smile. Don’t like the way he oozes sex. Or how his penetrating eyes follow me everywhere.
That doesn’t stop me from wanting him.
He’s meant to be a distraction—something to occupy my mind for these precious few remaining hot summer nights before I’m forced to leave football behind forever.
I know what we’re doing will lead nowhere good. I know we’re crossing the line. And I know my father will never understand.
None of that matters.
But maybe it should.
Rules aren’t meant to be broken.
Or are they?

REVIEW:
4 stars
****
This was a really good and sweet, easy read! This is Gillian and Lucas's story. Lucas was just drafted to the NFL to play quarterback for his hometown of Chicago. He is conflicted about his draft because he did not want to play for Chicago, due to some past family history with his dad. So he doesn't have the best attitude when he heads to training camp with his new team before the season begins. Gillian is in her last semester of college to be an athletic trainer. Her father is the Head Coach of the Bears. So Gillian is spending her last summer before she finishes school interning at the training camp. When she meets Lucas, sparks fly. They both know it is not the best idea to get involved. Lucas has to focus on football and Gillian is going to finish school and get a job in another state. But they decide to make the most of their time and embark on a short term relationship until training camp is over. They end up falling in love and they must decide what they really want for the future in order to be happy together.
It took me a little bit to get into this book. I didn't feel the couple's chemistry right away. But I did start to feel it and enjoy the book before too long. I really liked Lucas and Gillian. They were sweet, honest characters without a lot of relationship experience - just falling in love and figuring out how to make it work in their lives. There was no OW/OM drama and low angst. In fact, most of the book is just Lucas and Gillian together on page, with hardly any other characters. There was a lot of detail about football and training for football. I could tell that Karr put a lot of research into that aspect, even if it made my eyes glaze over at times. Overall, though, Kim Karr is becoming a really solid, consistent, go-to author of mine. This book was sweet, funny and sexy. It was a simple, easy story that I very much enjoyed!
