Mavericks Tackle Love #1
משחק פראי
מה היית עושה אם הבחור הזר, הסקסי והמסתורי שהכרת במקרה היה מתגלה כסלב?
קתרין ויילד עומדת לגלות את התשובה.
קווין ביילי הוא אחד מהקוורטרבקים הטובים ביותר במדינה, וברגע שהוא רואה לראשונה את קאט ויילד, הוא לא יכול לעמוד בפניה.
כשכוכב הפוטבול עולה על המטוס שבו קאט עובדת כדיילת אוויר, חייה השקטים מקבלים תפנית פתאומית.
חיזורים בגובה שלושים אלף רגל ומרדף מאומץ כדי לזכות בליבה הם רק ההתחלה, ואליהם מצטרפות תשומת לב, תהילה, ואפילו חטטנות ציבורית. קאט מבינה שעליה ללמוד כיצד לנווט את דרכה בתוך העולם החדש והבלתי מוכר.
נשמע זוהר, נכון?
אז זהו שלא...
כי, בסופו של דבר, לא כולם שמחים לראות את הבחורה מהעיירה הקטנה זוכה בליבו של הכוכב הענק.
מזל שקווין ביילי נחוש להילחם עד לניצחון.
המשחק מתחיל, בייבי.
"צמד הסופרות מקס מונרו עושות את זה ובגדול! קומדיה רומנטית לוהטת, מצחיקה וסקסית שאתם חייבים לקרוא!"

Look. It's not that deep...
You wrote a book with a black heroine? Cool! Awesome, even! Representation is awesome!
But the part that makes me cringe is when you make race the CONFLICT!
Why!?
If it was white heroine, this would not have even been in the reader's radar.
This book was going to be 3star for me, even a 4star, but then we reached the climax.
The author made the main conflict of the story about the fact that the heroine is black and the hero's parents are racist...
Like, what?
What the fuck?
I don't want to read these types of romance books.
Same reason I don't watch Slavery movies or television and movies that include "black trauma." The real world has enough of it to last me a trillion lifetimes.
This is contemporary for God's sake. I read a bunch of these with white heroines and race is never even mentioned, and the moment I pick one up with a POC heroine, her race is suddenly the main fucking plot?
Why did you have to ruin the story?

Surely the sweetest hero these authors ever wrote. Good guy.
Nice likable heroine.
But her mother was the best. I wish more girls would be raised with such attitude:
Funny (not always my kind of humor) and safe 😉!

My mother would chastise me for sounding insecure. I could literally hear her voice in my head. She’d probably say something along the lines of, “Catharine, get it together, girl. I don’t want to hear that garbage coming from your mouth.
You are a strong, beautiful, and confident woman. Any man, no matter how famous he is, would be lucky to have you on his arm.”
Funny (not always my kind of humor) and safe 😉!

This was my first book from Max Monroe duo and I am not impressed at all...
2,5 stars but not 3.
***********************************************
The book is about the love story of an interracial couple and it begins in a very sweet way. I liked it up until their first date. The way he pursued her until she said yes to a date was good and I really had fun. But then, their first date came and it was awkward (in a studio painting pictures because she loves art). It ended with a kiss. Then, their second date was even worse because as they decided it was going to end in bed, he took her to a Mc Donald's and a car wash. !!?? And when they had their first sex, the couple lost all their charm for me. There was nothing wrong, gross or bad about it and I don't know how I can put it into words because it is just a feeling. I didn't like it. Maybe the easiest way to put it is to say that I thought he was bad at it :)))) And I didn't like any time they were in bed afterwards. You know, some writers write these scenes very successfully and some can't. The ones in this book are not written successfully in my opinion; or at least they are not written in a way I like.
***********************************************
What comes next is the so-called plot twist. It is based on her skin color - her Afro-American roots. I just found this plot-twist annoying. It reminded me that there may still be racist people in the world - so very frustrating!
The media and some fans of the hero (he is a famous football player) upset her, the hero's parents upset her. They didn't look at her or talk to her when they first met her - that was so unacceptable. Some news reports pointed out that she wasn't his usual type. Some fans wrote awful things in his social media accounts. I got really annoyed about it. Why would anyone make this a plot twist?
And if you ask me, the hero didn't act the way I expected when his parents and the media upset her. He said he loved her no matter what but that wasn't enough for me. I needed to see that those awful people were given a good lesson about racism! Nope, they all got away with it...
***********************************************
As far as safety goes, there is no cheating, no OW/OM drama so it is safe.
***********************************************
The book is long and too wordy (328 pages). It is written in dual point of view and the heroine's chapters are better because she has a fun way of telling things. She is indeed a sweetheart! On the other hand, the hero is not my type of hero - he is too passive in most cases.
***********************************************
All in all, the book was sometimes sweet, sometimes boring and sometimes annoying for me. In general, it didn't work for me. That's why I am not going to continue the series as I have a feeling that I won't like anything written by this duo.
***********************************************
Oh I forgot... I hated the dedication... Maybe it's just me but I hated it. It sounds so very superficial to me!
You know how it goes with dedications. You scan to the page, only to find that the book is once again not dedicated to you. Not this time, (insert your name here).
Because we are the best of friends/are absolutely crazy about each other/haven’t seen each other in a long, long time/are in some way related/have only shared a fleeting, longing glance/have the funniest conversations/have never actually met but already know we’ll love each other… You’re funny/funny/funny/funny… Yeah, we only really like funny people.
And this sexy, long, thick …book is for you.
(You thought we were gonna say cock, didn’t you?)
Um, I think I should have trusted my instinct and never started this book after this dedication. I felt I wasn't gonna like the tone of the book.
"Sexy, long thick book for me!"
Pffft, is this supposed to be funny or something?
I hate it when writers define their books themselves instead of leaving it to us. Please, let me decide if it is sexy or not. And I am answering: It wasn't sexy at all!

4.5 “You’re really something, Quinn Bailey” stars
Once again Max Monroe has aced the recipe for a written romantic comedy. The MC’s meet cute was... well cute. Their side characters are funny and interesting. Quinn is the perfect hero. The perfect mix of confident, self-deprecating, and swoony. Cat is sassy, fun, and relatable. Quinn and Cat together are the perfect mix of fun, sweet, and steamy! Wildcat is told from the dual POV’s of Quinn and Cat. The story isn’t necessarily a SLOW BURN, but it progresses in a way I haven’t read before, that actually made it feel realistic to dating and falling in love in the era of technology. Not only that but both MC’s are so busy that the pacing makes sense. Don’t you worry whenever the two MC’s aren’t actually bantering you to laughter or swoons, they are great in their own head, or with their friends/family.
I don’t want to say much, because this one was so sweet to read without any knowledge of what was to come. So what I will say is this is the story of a famous QB, and a working class girl who have that spark between them. Things get in their way, and this is the story of them figuring out if those sparks are greater than those “things.” Plus it’s funny and sexy AND sweet. Can’t beat that. Nope.

Quinn Bailey. Quarterback of the New York Mavericks is flying home to Alabama for a few days of family time before the new season starts.
On the plane he meets the most beautiful and fascinating and adorable woman he's ever seen. Catharine. Cat. She's a flight attendant. And Quinn is halfway in love before they even leave JFK.
But Cat is not really sure what to think of this mega-hottie who is constantly looking at her. And then he's also on the same train into Birmingham!!!! And they talk for hours and it's amazing. But then she finds out who he is. And such a famous guy could not really be interested in her, or could he?
YES HE CAN!
And the reader has an amazing time watching poor Quinn fight for his happily ever after with Cat, while also trying not to screw up his team's chance to go to the Super Bowl!
══════════════════════════
Eeeep - finally the start of a new Max Monroe series!
I already loved Quinn & Sean whenever we saw them in the Bad Boy Billionaire series! And now Quinn's got his own book!!! YAY!!!
And the book was amazing!
I looove football and football romances.
We're kind of more in airplanes than on the football field, but pfffft, it was still an amazing football romance!
It's so adorable how Cat doesn't know who he is and he just loves that.
Those two are so perfect for each other!
Quinn is such a great guy. I love how much he loves football and his fans and his teammates and his gay brother. He's so flirty and fun and sweet and poor Cat can't resist him for long!
This was such a funny and adorable romance - so full of sparks and the cutest conversations and texts and all that sexiness.... phew! But I also cried some tiny little tears here and there. There were some real serious parts too!
I just loved reading it!
WiLDCAT was such an amazingly adorable Airplane/Football Romance! Hurry to your nearest amazon - Quinn will be sold out in no time!!!
There's a tiny little thing I have to say I was a bit confused about. When I started reading, Cat seemed a bit mysterious. She is 24 and just started her job with the airline. What did she do the last six years? I expected some kind of secret, like an accident or a bad relationship or a stint in a psych ward. But in the end nothing about those years was mentioned. College was mentioned a couple of times, but still. It felt a bit weird. As if Max Monroe had a deeper story planned for her and then decided to not write about it.
Also - I HATE Quinn's parents!!! Horrible people!
BUT, I still loved the story so much!!!! ☺
P.S. I loved Quinn's brother Denver!!!!!! He needs his own story btw!!!!!
Can't wait to read book #2 now! SEAN!!!!!

The Hero: Quinn Bailey - He is a 6’6” quarterback for the New York Mavericks. His arrogance is about as big as his rising star, but he is a hard worker on the field, and a genuinely nice guy who loves his family and friends. He was traveling home to Alabama on a commercial flight on a small airline before the season began to spend three days with his family.
The heroine: Catherine Wild (a.k.a. Cat) - she is a stewardess with Royal Air, her and her best friend Casey do their best to make the flights a fun experience for their guests. They make a comedy routine out of giving the safety instructions and things like that. She was ogling the guy in first class seat 2A for most of the flight and even fantasized a bit about what he would look like naked.
The Story: Quinn meets Cat on his flight home. He noticed how pretty she was but was sure he would never see her again since the season was about to start up and he would be busy for the duration. Though a tropical storm in the area caused the plane to land in Atlanta Georgia instead of Birmingham Alabama. Cat was scheduled the next morning on a flight to leave from Birmingham to JFK and was stuck in Atlanta. Cat and Quinn both end up on a midnight train to Birmingham.
I loved how Cat doesn’t believe such a wealthy, famous and hot guy would want a normal girl like herself, but how Quinn was so into her. She was so weirded out when she found out he had 3.1 million followers on Instagram while she had 14 followers. It was sweet how much Quinn thought about Cat and wanted to be in her presence. I also loved how both of them loved that four-hour train ride from Atlanta to Birmingham. Cat loved it so much she wanted to live it all over again exactly the way it went. I remember times when I was so infatuated with a guy and just loved being around them like that.
I also loved how Quinn was with his fans. You could tell he was a really nice guy. He even posted his location at times when he was out at a bar or something like that and didn’t care that fans knew where he was and came to see him.
This audiobook was told in dual points of view via dual narration and was narrated by Jeremy York and Ava Erickson. Both of these narrators are very good, and Ava is one of my favorite female narrators she has a terrific voice. Jeremy is great at using different voices for different characters and you can’t tell either of these narrators are reading, so that is always a big plus.

Yes! Yes! A million times yes! I LOVED THIS BOOK! Gah! It's made me so darn happy. The writing duo of Max Monroe know how to write a romantic comedy. And even better they know how to write the best damn book boyfriend ever. The number one reason to read this book: QUINN BAILEY!!!! My god. I want a Quinn! Where do I find one exactly like him? He was all kinds of perfect from his southern manners, to his wit and charm, to his good looks and dirty talking ways. Not to mention he was a romantic. Gah!
He is now a platinum member of my Book Boyfriend Club.
And then there was Cat Wild. She was all kinds of adorable! Gah! And with Quinn they were all kinds of cute.
Just go on and read this book for the good feels. You'll be as happy as I am right now.

This one was pretty good. I could have done without the list online of his former girlfriends- especially since it was mentioned that he hadn't had any relationships prior to the h. And after the h saw all the stuff online it was never mentioned again. Quinn and Cat were sweet together.

Actual Rating: 3 stars
Wildcat by Max Monroe is a good start to the Mavericks Tackle Love series. While I did enjoy the story for the most part, I felt like I have read something very similar before (hence the reason why I gave it 3 stars). For me as a reader, I crave originality in the books I read and this was missing that. It's the story of an all star quarterback who meets a woman unexpectedly and has to hurdle a few hoops to find their HEA. Sounds familiar... Now, while this book wasn't original in the plot, I did like how the authors created an interracial couple. This is something I don't see a lot in the romances I pick up and I appreciated that they deviated from the norm here. Do I think the authors could have tackled some of the issues associated with interracial dating a bit more? Yes. In this day in age people can and do date whoever they want no matter their race, religion, gender, etc. However, we also have people who still DON'T agree with dating outside of their own race, religion, etc. (like Quinn's parents). So it would have been nice to see this play out a bit more. With all that aside though (I'm not trying to pick the entire book apart) it is a good read.
Sports romance fans, and those who enjoy Max Monroe are certainly going to want to pick up Wildcat. It features an amazing hero (he was my favorite thing about the entire story because he was not only funny but wanted love), and an equally charming heroine. The cover is eye catching as well, so... You know, if you like pretty covers it wouldn't hurt to read it either. LOL.
No matter what little things that I didn't care for about this book I do still plan to read the second one. Sean (who is set to be the hero) seems like a HILARIOUS character and it will be nice to read about his journey through love.
PS: Each of these books can be read as complete standalones.

I loved this book. Not your typical sports romance where the hero is a man-whore, but this hero is definitely a guy worth getting to know. His romance style was so fun, and allowed Cat to get to know him on a different level. I loved their banter and communication.
Quinn was a superstar quarterback, while Cat was a young flight attendant trying to make something of herself. Their meet-cute was perfect and their friendship became so much fun I just couldn't put the book down. There was some drama, and I felt the author addressed it so effortless. It made the story just flow so much better.

“Can I kiss you, Kitty Cat?”
I’m completely, utterly, and ABSOLUTELY SMITTEN with this book! I’m a goner! I’m a puddle of FEELS! I’m head over heels! I’m too far-gone! There’s no coming back from this! You haven’t met the perfect book boyfriend until you meet Quinn FUCKING Bailey! That man has RUINED me for all others. This series…these characters…the HILARIOUS banter all throughout…OMG! Ya’ll are in for one HELL of a SEXY TREAT!
Not only did WILDCAT keep my senses on overdrive, it gave me a deeper, more profound respect for flight attendants. And this, my friends, is where a WONDERFUL scene-stealing character named Casey STOLE the FREAKING SHOW! There were so many GREAT characters that were scene-stealers and I didn’t mind it one bit! I don’t think I’ve laughed this hard in quite a while, but I knew…I just knew that Max Monroe was going to take me there. I wish I had the time to list out every single character and what I adored about them, but that would take away from you discovering them for yourselves, and ALL OF YOU MUST discover and devour this book!
WILDCAT is the start of a brand NEW romantic comedy series titled: Mavericks and if this is just the start of it, I can’t wait to see what they come up with in the future, because this one right here is going to be SO HARD to beat!
WILDCAT was a tremendously EASY PICK for my TOP FAVORITE list of 2018! And this author is no stranger to my FAVORITES LIST, that’s for sure. I can’t wait for you to meet this set of characters, especially Quinn and Cat. These two just melt in your mouth! They give you the hilarity, the feels, the romance…ugh! It just has EVERYTHING you could EVER want in a romance read! And I’m not kidding about our hero. That man is EVERYTHING! You will find no one better right now…NO ONE! Get ready to fall head over heels in LOVE with Number 9!

4.25 Kitten Stars!
Wow, the conflict in this book is right on topic for the ignorant people we still have in the world today.
In true form this writing duo has created a funny sexy RomCom with a smoking hot hero and an independently strong heroine. Quinn, I already had a little feel for from some of the other Max Monroe books I have read that he appeared in and so I knew he would be a character I would like. Cat is a beautiful biracial flight attendant who just recently moved to New York.
Both of these characters have busy schedules so trying to make a connection is hard which seems to be most of their battle until Quinn introduces Cat to his parents. His folks clearly need to be schooled on multiple subjects. It starts with Denver and continues with Cat. Maybe it is my age and the fact that I don’t have the time or energy, but I just do not have the restraint anymore to deal with people like Quinn’s parents. They would have received an ear full from me and then I would have distanced myself from them.
Oh My Goodness as always in their books, the secondary characters (Denver, Casey and Nikki) are just as entertaining as the main characters!

Despite the potential of the story, I just didn't take to the characters. Overall,I was just bored and didn't want to return to it.

I've finished this feeling like I should have liked it much more than I did, but for some reason it just didn't have me sinking into my sofa and getting lost in the story. Depth was lacking and I didn't find myself drawn that much to the MCs.
I wish more had been done when it came to the so-called plot twist. What happened was so lacklustre, the prejudices and racism of the hero's parent's not dealt with, not inserted into the story as compellingly as they could have been.
No cheating and no OW/OM drama which was nice.

3.5* rounded up and possible spoilers
Quinn Bailey is the sweetest football player I've ever read. He's kind, thoughtful,considerate and everyone loves him. Cat was a beautiful,awkward shy flight attendant and the connection between these 2 was beautiful to read. From the moment I read Cat's description I was interested to see if these authors would boldly go THERE and they did! Quinn's thoughts on the matter were wonderful and exactly what was needed in handling the issue.
Although this book was funny and well written I had some minor quibbles, Cat's POV had a lot of f words. I have no problems with f words but it just felt overdone. Her response to his parents I found unrealistic, how could she not understand their problems with her? The mention of Quinn's seemingly long page of exes was unnecessary since he wasn't painted as a manwhore really but such a genuinely good guy and the initial parts of the book were slow as these 2 tried to find time to be together.
Cat's parents were absolutely awesome, but Quinn's parents embodied some of the worst traits of humanity and I would've liked to see them get their just desserts not only for their attitude to Cat but also to their other son but all in all I liked this one and am moving on to the next in this series.

Boring characters and storyline.
I loved Max Monroe's Billionaire Bad Boys series and was really excited for Wildcat because I love sports romances. Unfortunately, Wildcat fell short of my expectation. I found myself counting down the chapters until this book was over. The pace was really slow at the beginning with nothing happening in the story until about 40% in. In my opinion, both Cat and Quinn lacked any personality and I found myself wishing for more of the secondary characters Sean and Denver. I'm definitely a huge fan of this author and will continue with this series. This one just didn't work for me.

Quinn Bailey, the star quarterback for the New York Mavericks, is taking a few days off from preseason to visit his parents and little brother in Birmingham, Alabama. When he boarded his RoyalAir flight, he expected a few hours of quiet time, some music, but what he wasn’t expecting was to encounter Catharine, the extremely beautiful and charming flight attendant.
Cat, only a flight attendant for 6-months, was getting used to the on-the-go life of air crew. Luckily, her fellow attendants—Casey and Nikki—kept her laughing and entertained. When she sees the most sexy stranger in existence in seat 2A, she can’t help herself from staring. And it just so happens, he’s staring back at her.
Due to weather, the plane is forced to land in Atlanta and since Cat has a flight to catch in less than 12-hours in Birmingham, she boards a midnight train to her destination. And to her surprise, sitting across from her is none other than sexy stranger from 2A. He introduces himself as Quinn and for the next 4-hours, Quinn and Cat share laughs and witty banter until it’s time for them to part ways. They exchange numbers and at first Cat is hopeful they’ll meet again, but when she learns Quinn plays for the NFL—how did she not realize this before?!—she gives up hope of sparking a romance with Quinn Bailey.
But Quinn has other plans for Cat. He discovers her next flight from Birmingham to New York and takes it, knowing they’ll see each other again. Quinn makes it his mission to spend as much time as possible with Cat because she catches his attention like no other woman ever has. But Cat doesn’t truly believe that a sports celebrity would have the time of day for any girl—especially someone who spends have their life in the air.
The chemistry between Quinn and Cat is undeniable and they develop a whirlwind romance. But when Quinn’s conservative family learns that he’s dating a woman of color, they are less than accepting of his choices. It’s bad enough that his little brother’s sexuality is ignored by his parents, but now their judgment of Quinn’s girlfriend is too much to bear.
And on top of familial judgment, Quinn and Cat’s relationship is under a microscope after photos of them were released on the cover of a tabloid. People have something to say about their relationship left and right. But if Quinn and Cat shut out all the noise of his family, his fame and all the other complications, it’s obvious that what they have is special and more than worth the fight.
Wildcat by Max Monroe is the first installment in the Mavericks Tackle Love series. I used to say I wasn’t a fan of sports romances, but as I’ve read quite a few lately (and loved them), I guess I’ve changed my mind! Wildcat is funny and witty with plenty of sexual tension to keep me entertained. Cat is quirky and relatable. I instantly connected to her and enjoyed reading about Cat’s life as a flight attendant. Quinn is the ultimate southern gentleman that any woman would swoon over. Their romance was the perfect amount of slow-burn mixed with hot and heavy attraction. I can’t wait to continue on with this series—4.5/5 stars.

Wildcat was the first book in the Mavericks Tackle Love series by Max Monroe, an author duo. It was my first book by the authors.
Quinn Bailey was the quarterback for the NFL team, the New York Mavericks. He was gorgeous, famous, focused, admired, well liked and well respected.
Catharine “Cat” Wild was a flight attendant that Quinn met when he traveled from New York back to his hometown in Alabama. She was not a sports lover so she had no idea who he was other than the sexy and nice man in 2A.
It was a story of a famous professional athlete and the everyday girl next door. It was well written and developed, but was slow for me for the first half. But with that said, I loved the second half. And I really grew to love both the hero and heroine.
Although the sex level heightened when they were fully a couple, it had a sweet vibe from beginning to end. And from a practicality standpoint, the storyline was probably representative of true life since our typical daily grind is fairly uneventful. Overall, it portrayed a journey of two insanely busy schedules within a famous and non-famous couple. It also tossed in a southern upper crust conflict. Hopefully, that aspect wasn’t real for today’s society, but unfortunately, it may be real for some.
I also enjoyed the cast of secondary characters, although I could have used more depth with them. And please let there be a story between Casey and Denver. Even if not together, they need their stories - although they would be perfect for each other.
And finally, through Quinn and Cat the authors set the stage for the remainder of the Maverick series. I loved the bantering and the bonding. Sean Phillips, the Mavericks funny and loud star wide receiver, is up next in Pick Six.

Quinn Bailey stole my heart and kept it right in his pocket for the entire book! So if you read the Billionaire Bad Boys series from Max Monroe you'll definitely recognize Quinn Bailey as the playful, flirty QB from Wes's team the New York Mavericks. If you haven't read don't despair it's not necessary but it sure is fun if you recognize the mention and appearances of favorite characters in this one.
I was enchanted from the meet cute and the rest is history. Quinn is just a good guy. He's a good brother, a good son (despite his parents) and an awesome teammate. When he sets his sights on Catharine I'm pretty sure the smile never left my face.
I love the unassuming girls in books. Cat is cute and confident and totally out of the football loop. She has no idea who Quinn Bailey even is and that makes their beginning so much cuter. I mean Quinn Bailey could have any girl he wants and yet he makes unnecessary trips and logs a few frequent flyer miles all in the name of getting to know her. QUEUE THE SWOON!
This was a really sweet, a little sexy and a little feely book and I'm looking forward to the rest of the series. These football players are gonna be fun!

When you think that Max Monroe cant possibly create set of characters to rival The Billionaire Bad Boys - Kline,Thatch and Wes, hold on to your kindles ladies....Meet Quinn Bailey....sweet and a whole lot of swoonworthy, he is my new fictional boyfriend, ticking allll my boxes! Cat is a great character who deserves nothing but happiness and a hea. Brilliant,feel good 5 star read. I could read Max Monroe every day and NEVER get bored. Cabt wait for the next Mavericks instalment!

Okay, okay. I did it. I finally read a Max Monroe book. What took me so long? Hell, I honestly have no fucking clue. Is it a lack of time? Am I afraid the books won't live up to the hype? Whatever my excuses were in the past, I have to let them go. And I need to go find me a bad boy billionaire because after meeting Quinn Bailey, I'm sure I'll love all of the Max Monroe books. ALL. OF. THEM.
Quinn Bailey is the greatest quarterback ever. He's gorgeous, charming, and absolutely every single thing you could want in a man.
Catharine Wild is a flight attendant who knows absolutely nothing about football. So, when Quinn Bailey lands himself in her first class cabin, she has no clue who he is. When she stumbles upon him again, she's still just as clueless.
But Quinn can't hide from reality and the reality is: people know him. Or at least know of him. And that's when Cat learns he's more than just a charmer.
This is one of those feel good books. It feels good to read it. It feels good to go on this journey with Quinn and Cat. And this feel good book tackles (see what I did there?!) some seriously tough issues. Tough issues such as sexuality and race.
So, yes, this is a feel good book, but you'll be asked to deal with the closed-mindedness of others.
If Max Monroe did anything with this book, it was make me feel like I could find my very own QB. And now I have to see where this series takes me. Sean is up next and I'm more excited than I should be.

Another disappointing book by the authors! There was hardly any plot except for using cliche like the whites from Alabama being racist and anti-gay which shows the prejudices the authors have towards Southerners!!

You’re in for one wild ride. . .
Wildcat is another smash hit from the dynamic duo, Max Monroe! It has the feels, the laughs, the swoon-ability to sweep you right off your feet and never put you down. Wildcat has that “it” factor that takes the quintessential sports romance to a whole new playing field!
Everyone loves a sexy, gorgeous, and dirty-talking male character. Come on, you can’t deny it…they’re irresistible. But add in charm, wit, and the overall “nice guy” elements, and you’re a goner! And that’s exactly who Quinn Bailey is, and it’s no wonder Cat Wild was completely captivated with him.
Lust plays a heavy role initially upon first meeting Quinn and Cat. Intrigue, attraction, and compatibility drives that lust into a profound connection that neither character expected. With the insane schedules that come with being a professional athlete and a flight attendant, you can only imagine that love was the furthest from either of their minds. And as the saying goes “absence makes the heart grow fonder”, it couldn’t be more accurate when referencing Quinn and Cat. Their passionate magnetism radiates heat, desire, and intensity, transforming into a deep affectionate love.
I knew what I was going to get when I started reading this book, but it also simultaneously surprised me. I knew Wildcat was going to be another beautifully penned book, with an undeniably romantic HEA. But at the same time, this multicultural love story impressed me with its references to societal issues that are very real, and very current. Judgment and preconceived notions way heavily on the undertone of the story, and to read how these characters overcame such intolerance shows the author’s amazing ability at storytelling.
Overall, Wildcat was a complete success, a game winner with its provocative and emotional love story. Whether you’re a fan or a newbie to Max Monroe, don’t pass up this book…you won’t regret it.

***AVAILABLE NOW - FULL REVIEW ***
4.5 Kitten & Pickle CROWNS
FUN. FLIRTY. HILARIOUS. UTTERLY CHARMING! Wildcat, the first book in their new series, is all of this and more.
Quinn Bailey. Quinn freaking Bailey. Where has this man been my whole life? He oozes charm and charisma. Every line that came from his mouth had me laughing or swooning. I caught myself smiling like a loon reading his chapters. I couldn’t get enough of him or his romantic and ridiculous antics! He is absolutely What every romantic comedy hero should be.
Cat is such a great heroine, a bit awkward, hilarious, beautiful, yet she has a level of insecurity. This insecurity presented by the authors, though, isn’t a result of how she sees herself but how the public will see her and her worth of the beloved QB, and this allows her to be seen, still, as strong heroine, one who is the perfect awkward match to Quinn.
True to the Max Monroe world, they have introduced us to a bevy of wonderful secondary characters who I cannot wait to see again and get to know. It is truly one of the aspects of their series that I love!
This story is a slow burn, which often makes it hard for me to get into books, but the banter and flirting between Quinn and Cat is enough to keep readers invested. The chemistry between them is palpable with words alone, and when they finally come together the payoff is worth it. The conflict threw me for a loop, and I wasn’t expecting what sets it all in motion. It is resolved very quickly, and I ultimately wish this time would have been more drawn out or more explosive. The ending, though, boy, that ending had me grinning like a loon and falling more in love with Quinn Bailey.
Need a good laugh? Need a hero so Charming you will swoon? Need a slow burn with insane flirting and chemistry? Then you need Wildcat! It is romantic-comedy perfection!

This insecurity presented by the authors, though, isn’t a result of how she sees herself but how the public will see her and her worth of the beloved QB, and this allows her to be seen, still, as strong heroine, one who is the perfect awkward match to Quinn.
True to the Max Monroe world, they have introduced us to a bevy of wonderful secondary characters who I cannot wait to see again and get to know. It is truly one of the aspects of their series that I love!
This story is a slow burn, which often makes it hard for me to get into books, but the banter and flirting between Quinn and Cat is enough to keep readers invested. The chemistry between them is palpable with words alone, and when they finally come together the payoff is worth it. The conflict threw me for a loop, and I wasn’t expecting what sets it all in motion. It is resolved very quickly, and I ultimately wish this time would have been more drawn out or more explosive. The ending, though, boy, that ending had me grinning like a loon and falling more in love with Quinn Bailey.
Need a good laugh? Need a hero so Charming you will swoon? Need a slow burn with insane flirting and chemistry? Then you need Wildcat! It is romantic-comedy perfection!

⭐️ 5 “ Kitten “ stars ⭐️
Quinn and Cat were such a adorable pair that you can’t help but fall in love with their story. This book has become one of my favourite romantic comedy story. It’s a perfect blend of funny, sexy, cute and romantic. It ticked all of my boxes for a rom com.
There was a smile on my face the whole time. Some scenes were hilarious especially the blow job one.
Quinn was such a hottie with a heart of gold. He made me swoon with his actions and was one hell of a dirty talker. You could feel how much he loved Catherine.
Catherine aka Cat aka kitten was just as sweet as Quinn. She showed such a strong personality. She made me laugh so much. She was smart, hilarious, beautiful and innocent. Her gay best friend Casey was just as adorable and hilarious.
What made this book stand out for me from others was that it wasn’t repetitive as other sports romance. It didn’t show Quinn as too much of a man whore or crazy fans creating issues between them.
If you’re looking for a light , funny and swoony sports romance, go for this one. ♥️
And also I am in love with the cover 😍😍🔥🔥
