She’s the only woman he wants . and the only one he can’t have.Asher Donovan is a living legend – the darling of the Premier League, the (arguably) greatest footballer in the world.But his reckless antics and recent team transfer have caused much controversy, and when his feud with his rival-turned-teammate costs them a championship, they’re forced to ‘bond’ during off-season cross-training.Surviving the summer shouldn’t be hard . . . until Asher meets their new trainer. She’s beautiful, talented, and no matter how hard he tries, he can’t take his mind off her.The only problem? She’s his rival’s sister – and completely off limits.

He has to play by the rules . . . but for her, he'd break them all.As the captain of Blackcastle Football Club and one of the highest-paid athletes in the game, Vincent DuBois should be on top of the world.But when his fame brings danger to his doorstep, he finds himself in his worst nightmare scenario - secretly sharing a flat with his coach's daughter, knowing full well she's far too big a temptation for him to resist.When his new living arrangements escalate into a bet that throws them even closer together, he realizes he's in deeper trouble than he thought.He's always played to win - but for her, he might just risk it all.

[Gian Treinen · Rating 2 out of 5]

It's too much teenage drama for me. I bet its a great book for people who are looking for that.
