The Serenghetti Brothers #3
Power Play
A chance reunion with a billionaire sports star leads to a game of seduction. From the USA Today-bestselling author of Hollywood Baby Affair.
Irresistible. That's sports tycoon Jordan Serenghetti in a nutshell. But Jordan's physical therapist, Sera Perini, must resist. She has good reasons--their families' connections, her professional ethics and a kiss the filthy-rich athlete doesn't even remember. If she gives in to temptation, will it be a replay of Jordan's womanizing ways or something from a brand-new playbook? Because when passion is the prize, not just any play will do . . .
"Readers will find the plot of this third Serenghetti Brothers entry (after Hollywood Baby Affair) thoroughly entertaining." --Library Journal

About the author
Anna DePalo
196 books139 followersWhile still in her teens, Anna DePalo began her first novel. She wishes she could say that this early manuscript went on to receive numerous accolades and to bring her fame and fortune. Instead, that first attempt—well, all three pages of it—hit the trash heap, and she understood why many authors have burned their papers for posterity.
She has lived in Italy and England, graduated from Harvard, earned an advanced degree in political science, and practiced intellectual property law.
One day, she decided to give fiction writing another try, believing that having done some more living would help her tell the truth about life in the pages of made-up stories. This time she didn’t stop at three pages—or even ninety-three. That first finished manuscript soon sold to Harlequin, became a bestseller and award-winner, and has been published in over twenty countries to date.
Anna's books have hit the USA Today best-seller list, and have won the RT Book Club Reviewers' Choice Award, the OCCRWA Book Buyer’s Best, the NJRW Golden Leaf, and the NECRWA Readers' Choice. She lives with her husband, son and daughter in New York.

This is the third book in the Serenghetti Brothers series by Anna DePalo as part of the Desire line over at Harlequin Books.
Here are definitely two people at odds with each other. Serafina (Sera) has a bit of a chip on her shoulder where hockey all-star Jordan Serenghetti is concerned. He made out with her years earlier and then forgot her and she has never recovered from that slight. So, when Jordan comes to her employer, Astra Therapeutics looking for some physical therapy for his recent injury, he gets assigned to Sera much to her dismay. She is not like other women. She won’t let herself fall at the hockey star’s feet. But the chemistry between them has something of its own to say and may make all of Sera’s protests mute.
I loved the struggling dynamic between these two. This wasn’t an easy courtship where the chemistry was immediate and then they kept having sex over and over. This was like a slow burn. You know they are compatible. You see it in their first kiss. But since Sera has this hang up where Jordan is concerned, it takes the couple a long time to finally realize they are meant for each other.
I really enjoyed the scenes where Jordan convinced his mother who had a popular foodie tv show to let Sera judge how he and a couple of his hockey cohorts could cook. They all surprisingly had what sounded like complicated dishes. I can just see it now. A Serenghetti Cookbook featuring recipes from Jordan’s mother, Jordan and Sera. I wouldn’t even have been opposed to a recipe at the end of the book to go along with the storyline.
Great love story, slow to bring to fruition but totally worth the struggle. Loved it! Definitely reading along in the series to catch up. #SerenghettiBrothers

This is the 1st book I read by Anna DePalo. I liked the hot & steamy scenes & the sports in this story. The rest could've been better.

Great book with twists and surprises. The hero is a hockey star and while I don't usually like sports romances, this one was great. Also part of a series, so I'm looking forward to the other books.

Wasn't a fan of this one, in comparison to the other two in the series, but still a decent read.

I loved how Sera tried sooo hard to resist Jordan even though we all knew it was a losing battle, I get she was irked with their first encounter years ago but I kind of felt she should have let that go a long time ago. Jordan isn't use to having to work to get a girls attention and it was great to see him realise to get someone you really want you have to work hard at it and that includes getting help from his family or trying to dodge them depending on the situation. This is a hard to get, love from afar and kind of second chance romance that will have you laughing, cringing, sympathizing and cheering along the way.

I loved, loved, love this book. It's the first Harlequin book I've read more than once. Great story, awesome banter, and several hilarious scenes well written by Anna. I hope to read more of her books if she's that good with this story, I can't wait to read her others. I will definitely be reading this again and again.

The third book in The Serenghetti Brothers series, a well written story of two people sports tycoon Jordan Serenghetti and his physical therapist Serafina/Sera Perini who get a second chance. There is drama, twists, turns, and romance. I want to read the next book. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This is another great book by author Anna DePalo! She always does a wonderful job of creating characters who are so real. They are people I love, who I want in my own family, or as friends. The book zips right along and I love the camaraderie in this Italian family.
