I do not judge short stories on the rush of their relationships, because they are just that - short stories. So, yes the relationships always could have been drawn out more, yea it seems like they fall in love to fast and of course the story could have been made longer... but it is a short story. So with that said.... here is my review...
Okay, this is Suzy's story. You meet her in the first three books of this series (see links below). To get her true back story, you would have to read those books. But Ms. Blaine gives you enough information in this book so you do not have to "technically" go back.
I will not sugar coat this review... Suzy is a forty year old cougar who is on the prowl. She loves sex like other women love shopping. If you try to analyze her from the beginning you would think she was a football groupie. But if I have learned one thing, never judge a book by its cover. And Suzy is one of those books. Her life ~ if you look at it from afar seems very "fake."
She is living off alimony from an ex-husband (who happens to be a professional football player), has the huge house, the fake boobs, three cars in her garage... But does she truly have it all.
Suzy is a very materialist woman. A bank account and a man's penis need to be the same size, huge... to even give her a hot flash.
With that said, Suzy has developed a reputation around the league. It is not the best reputation that is following her; but she does not care. She is out to have fun and she will manipulate any one any way she can to fit her needs, desires and wants - regardless of what they want. But does manipulating and using other fill your heart or feel the need between your legs? Always use to getting her way and being control ~ Suzy meets her match. Enter Marco. The strapping 19 yr old, new rookie quarterback. Marco knows of Suzy's past and yet, there is something about her that drives to the brink of losing control.
What happens when old meets new? What happens when both want to control? Does age really matter? What happens when one person can make you feel this:
"Marco Giovanni is my lifeline, my soul mate, and quite possibly the only reason I didn’t self-destruct. I’m in love with one man, a man who trained me to submit by first teaching me how to love."
Wanna find out how a materialistic, controlling woman like Suzy could come to feel this for a man... You will have to read her book!!!

We met Suzy in the last 3 books of this series, if you have read those you will know what Suzy is about and how she works. This book is Suzy’s story and I have to say I loved it. Yet again it’s another well written short and I even found myself laughing in this one.
Suzy was married to Mark and lived the high live loved the money Mark made but that came crashing down on her as she cheated on him. She has had most of the team and when she sets her sights on Marco Giovanni she had no idea what she was getting herself into. He is half her age and boy does he know how to handle her and it’s what she needs she needs that Dom and Sub relationship but she does fight it.
The sex once again is hot and well written I had to laugh at the rubber sex toy oh boy I pictured that in my head. I’m glad Suzy reached out to Cassie because I think with the hint at the end of this book Suzy is going to have another man in her life and I can’t wait to read more.
