Orderly and predictable describes Eva Marie’s life, until she accepts the dare of a Brazilian soccer player with wicked moves and a notorious reputation.
The last thing Eva Marie needs right now, just as her event planning business is getting off the ground, is a man. Especially a sought after bachelor with a reputation for no-strings-attached, serial dating.
Famous Brazilian soccer player Davi Ferreira likes his games and women fast and flashy. Handsome and fit, he’s never met a woman he couldn’t quickly and easily charm into his bed. Until Eva Marie. When the opportunity to participate in her event, ‘The Ultimate Bachelor’ promises to give him one final chance to escape the friend zone, he eagerly accepts.
Thanks to a popular DC blog, people in Washington are watching the live stream featuring Eva Marie’s event. Cameras cover everything, including Eva and Davi’s ultra-sexy kiss. The steamy exchange sparks a firestorm of tweets that force Eva and Davi to settle a question posed by web viewers—was the sizzling kiss a promotional stunt or the real thing?

We open up at a bachelor auction for charity, a big ticket event Eva has arranged to generate money and get her event planning business off the ground. One of the bachelors is her friend Davi, a Brazilian soccer player, a man she's known about six months. There is an attraction there, but Eva is focused on her business and wants to keep the playboy in friend territory.
The attraction is mutual, Davi has had his eye on Eva for a while. At first I wondered how these two kids would figure it all out but lost interest quickly. I couldn't warm up to Davi. He's really not a nice guy. When a storm causes the fire alarm to go off and chaos ensues, Eva begs him to help her keep the attendees from fleeing. He agrees only if she kisses him the way HE wants to be kissed. Her needs don't fit in the circle of his reality. He doesn't care this is her big break for her business, that she needs help, that this isn't the time to trade sex games. It's all about what he wants.
The theme continues. There are some throw away lines that she wants sex with him too, but it's basically him. She comes over to his house when he wants her to, haves sex when he wants them to, and the sex is basically what he wants in the way he wants.
Eva decides at the end she is all in and pursues him, the only instance of a Bold Move, but I really hoped she'd drop him and find someone who actually gave a damn about her.
