Chef Ivy lost her faith in true love—well, more like she misplaced it. When Sam walked into her restaurant with his smoking body and charming smile, more than just her heart melted. From the outside, the Seattle Pioneers quarterback seemed like the perfect man for her. But was he too perfect?

As a two-time Super Bowl winner, Sam was at the top of his profession. Only one thing was missing. Someone to share his life with. When Sam meets Ivy, he’s convinced she’s the one. The beautiful chef is hesitant and convincing her proves to be a challenge. Sam has never backed down from a challenge. Will this be the first one to have him throw in the towel?

This book is a fun read. It is really steamy and an awesome read. I loved the romance. The sex scenes are awesome. Liked a lot of the banter. The sports is very well researched go check it out.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Show didn’t hold me , it felt like she wanted him and didn’t want him in the same thought so many time throughout each of her POV chapters . Editing was poor, one chapter was repeated in full . I put the story down and few times and tried it again and again but it couldn’t hold it for me . Did not finish and returned to KU .

The "peak" of the story happened to late... I would like so see more of them has a couple after that conversation!!!

The H was really infuriating with all "the smile and wave" attitude.

The next story didn't grabb my attention...

quarterback sneak

Perfectly lovely story. Not only did I like Ivy and Sam but I was very interested in Beth & Howler. ( I’m hopeful that they get a story.)

DNF 10%. Seem rather teenagers both how they think and how it is told. Too annoying.
