Title: Only Work, No Play
Author: Cora Reilly 
Cora Reilly, for me, is one of my go-to author's for a good mafia romance.
Luc and Aria FOREVER!
But then, there's Dante and Valentina too! SEE! So many good characters to swoon over!
So colour me surprised when I read the blurb of this book.
No mafia?
A sports romance?
Say Whhaaatttt?!
It really shouldn't be a surprise that my thoughts would be filled with a slight bit of skepticism when she decides to write a sports romance of ALL things!
Let me be the first to tell you, I was wrong.
Cora Reilly can write anything under the sun.
Only Work, No Play was heavenly!!!
Surprisingly real, this book was quite entertaining.
A little slow build up in the beginning but overall this book is definitely worth the time and energy.
Evie is a sweetheart while Xavier is the complete opposite of Evie. To tell you the truth, Xavie is super confident, arrogant...he's basically a walking, talking greek God (and let me tell you...he knows it.) hahahaha.
Only Work,No Play was a joy to read and I am sure that Evie and Xavier will steal your heart.
If you are in the mood for a book that is filled with funny banters, amazing chemistry and simply fun and sexy. This book is it.
Happy Reading!!

I'm speechless. I'm not a big fan of books where the hero continues his sexcapades after meeting the heroine. Especially in front of the heroine. And that happened a lot in this book. But somehow, I loved this book and I absolutely fell in love with the heroine.
Evie has been taking care of her father since her mother passed. Her sister left her to take care of the family while she moved across the world to live her life. Now, their father has finally found someone and Evie gets to live her life. When her sister advices her to move to Australia to work for the Rugby star, Xavier Stevens, as his personal assistant, Evie jumps on that chance.
Her first meeting with Xavier goes as well as expected. He tells her that she will be waking him, making his coffee and make sure he gets to practice in time. Catching your boss in bed with a female, in the middle of them doing it, is sure a hell of a first day on the job.
Xavier Stevens doesn't date. Ever. He's more of a wham bam thank you ma'am, kinda man. And he needs an assistant to wake him up and also help him kick out the flavour if the night come morning, among other things of course. But his problem has always been choosing his assistants based on how they look which then results in them ending up in bed together and then leaving him without an assistant. So when his best friend suggests his girlfriend's sister as his assistance he agrees. And when he first sees her he's shocked. She's not his type. His type is skinny models and Evie is curvy and different.
But soon he finds himself spending more time with his assistance outside of working hours but with his past and inability to commit to one women, will he end up breaking the heart of the one girl who actually sees the real him?
There is no cheating in this book but I'm going to warn you, there are a lot of OW. I think I lost count after woman number five but through it all, Evie was so strong. I loved that she was different from the others and that she didn't take shit from Xavier or his parade of women.
