From the New York Times bestselling author of Tapping the Billionaire comes a hilarious and sexy standalone about fate, chance, and one heck of an epically awkward meet-cute.


4th & Girl, an all-new standalone romantic comedy in the Mavericks Tackle Love series from Max Monroe, is available now!

I’m Leo Landry, one of the best shutdown cornerbacks in the nation, and the New York Mavericks’ first round draft pick.
If James Bond spent his days running drills and his nights shutting out quarterbacks, he’d dream about being me. But professional football is on a whole other level from college, and as the new guy, I’ve got everything to prove.
No problem.
All I’ve got to do is focus, right?
Too bad life’s got other plans.
Blond hair, long lashes, and criminal blue eyes, there’s a pint-sized bombshell that I can’t stop thinking about.
I don’t even know her name, but she’s completely screwing up my game plan.
It’s too late to turn back now though. I have my eye on the prize, and I won’t settle for anything less.
4th down and only one goal in my sightsthis pretty little mystery girl.
Good thing I’m at my best when the pressure’s on.

REVIEW:


3.25 stars

***

 This was a pretty good book. 4th and Girl is Leo and Gemma's story. Leo is the rookie on the Mavericks pro football team. He meets Gemma when she is working a temp job collecting the players' urine samples for testing. When she is flustered by Leo, she accidentally spills his pee cup on herself and gets fired. Neither of them can forget about each other and Leo tries to find Gemma, but he doesn't even know her name. The two meet again later by chance and begin a relationship. There are some funny and sweet moments and they fall for each other.

I liked Leo and Gemma. They were cute together. I did think it took a little too long for them to get together. They met once at 3% and didn't meet again until 34%. I thought the chemistry was only okay and I'm not sure I fully felt the love between them. The book felt a little short, probably because it took awhile for them to meet again. I felt like there were a few plot holes that were never fully explained, like what was the deal with Gemma's weird friend Abby or why Leo pushed Gemma so hard to sing. Gemma had dreams of being a musician and a love of music, but I didn't really feel that she had a love of performing, so I didn't get that. I felt the book in general lacked a little depth and emotion. Also, it is very much a HFN, with I love you's exchanged in the last few pages and no real plans for the future made or even discussion about relationship status (although there is a good epilogue).

Still, while this is not my favorite Max Monroe book, it is still an enjoyable, easy read. It was cute and entertaining. I liked Leo and Gemma, as well as catching up with the other couples from the series. I'm still a Max Monroe fan and I can't wait to see what they come up with next.
