Shakedown
"The only man that deserves you is the one who thinks he doesn't."
Star defensive end, Jack Ellis works harder than almost anyone in the game, and his focus has been on his career and little else. Until… he meets Dr. Ana James.
Immediately smitten, he makes a play for her attention.
Dr. Ana James is unimpressed with the flashy football player and does everything she can to resist his moves. Especially when she finds out, he’s got more scandals than a reality star erupting all around him.
Not one to let an obstacle get in his way, Jack decides to up his game and prove that he’s worth the gamble.
Does he have the right moves to win her heart? Or will the people attempting a shakedown succeed?
Watch what happen when Jack makes an end run and prevents Ana from stopping play.

Man of my dreams
If you have never met those fabulous Ellis brothers, this is a great way to start. Jack Ellis is big...hot...famous...rich...and head over heels for Ana.
Ana is sweet little nerdy doctor, who is sure her and Jack could never be compatible.
These two have a chemistry that will not be denied. Jack will do whatever he needs to secure the future with the lady of his dreams. I adored this books previous version and absolutely love this reworked edition. Your gonna fall in love with the Ellis boys.

I’m a huge fan of this authors work and style. So when I read this book I knew instantly that this was another awesome book. The chemistry between these characters was off the charts. Altho Jack had to work for Ana’s heart or more importantly her acceptance of what he knew from the minute he saw her. Dr Ana likes to think things thro logically and it takes Jack a while to break down her defences and it doesn’t help that outside influences complicate his efforts. What follows is a true love story and I cloudn’t put it down. Highly recommend this book.

I love Lea Hart’s books they are full of hunky sexy men and strong women, once again another fantastic story that’s full of romance, scandals, love and passion. Jack and Ana’s chemistry is hot from the start. The story has you turning each page anticipating what might happen next. Loved catching up with characters from the previous books. So can’t wait to see what comes next. 5 well deserved Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
