Trick Play
When it came to NFL playboy Dex Ekstrom, all I wanted was to do my job and keep him out of trouble. Wish I had someone keeping me out of trouble. Now I’m earning every cent of my paycheck by taking every inch of Dex.
Josephine: I never wanted to love a man like Dex Ekstrom. He’s everything I can’t stand: chaotic, brash, larger than life. He was my first client with the PR firm, and they told me all I had to make him behave. They might as well have told me I couldn’t let him breathe air.
Dex: To keep my NFL contract, I’ve been saddled with a babysitter. I don’t know how, but in a sea of women throwing themselves at me, I can’t help but be attracted to curvy tightwad of a woman. She says “no,” and it only makes me want her more. Her high neck lines, that tight bun, and her prissy personality are like gasoline on my fire. Then there was this one confusing night—now I don’t know what to do. It’s not like I’ll be the first pro-athlete to be in this spot, but I’m not like all the other guys, and she’s not like all the other girls.

Was given this book to preview before came out and to give a honest review. Hot! Hot! Charlotte Wilde has done it again with other phenomenal book. decks and Josephine's chemistry was off the charts. NFL football player decks meets Josephine as his as his PR and Josephine is determined to keep her distance. Yet with one look at each other the heat it up right from the start. This book has a storyline where you don't want to put it down in the characters are extremely relatable. If you like fun, erotic romance with a hot man plus a romantic ending I highly recommend reading this book

TRICK PLAY is a sports romance. It's a quick read. I read it within a few hours. Dex is a star football player for the NFL. He has a reputation for having too much fun. The NFL is tired of his antics and has sent a handler to keep in on the straight and narrow. Josephine has just started her first day with the PR firm. Her first assignment is to handle Dex. One night that goes terrible wrong in all the right ways will change their lives forever. Lots of steamy hot sex and romance. This is a must read!

I received this ARC copy of this book from the Author for an honest review. I give this book 5 stars. The storyline between Josephine and Dex started out as a babysitting job that Josephine ' new boss gave her at the new PR firm. Dex was a playboy football player. This book has twists that you don't see coming. This is a must read book.

Fun, exciting, enjoyable and hot and steamy. He can't behave himself and the NFL hires someone who is a novice to put a leash on him. Things don't quite go as planned. I couldn't put it down as it was a good read. I was given a review copy and voluntarily review it.

DNF. Couldn't take more. Poor concept.
Another author who seems to need an editor.
What kind of company sends an inexperienced, first day on the job person to handle THE most important account the company has? The one that could ruin the company if not properly dealt with.
That's the premise of this story. Unbelievable.
The h is supposed to babysit an NFL player who lacks self a control to keep him out of the tabloids. So she wears a crop top and yoga pants on the first day. Not very professional. Her attitude is "fake it till I made it". Again, lacking professionalism.
Separated from her husband she gets multiple text messages hourly, most of which she ignores until she can get to them. Is she unable to silence the phone till a better time?
H watches her " tight ass jiggle". It wouldn't if it's tight.
Poor concept. Poor execution. Didn't get through the first chapter.

A good beach book. Fast paced but a little hurried, could've filled it out much more.
