Get Ready to Play Rough
Shay Beckham grew up idolizing her brother’s best friend, star quarterback Joe Reilly. There was no one in their Texas town who had the moves to match Joe on or off the field. Years later, he’s still a player who has what it takes to drive any hot-blooded woman wild. But Shay isn’t a kid with a bad case of hero-worship anymore. She’s grown-up and independent, with her feet on the ground and a serious head on her shoulders. If she could just say the same for Joe.
It’s been fifteen years, but Joe Reilly hasn’t forgotten the skinny little kid who used to follow him around like a shadow. What he can’t get over is that the skinny shadow has grown into one hell of an incredible woman. One any man in his right mind would kill to get his hands on. And one who seems to be completely immune to him. He knows he and Shay could have something special together. If he could only convince her he’s about more than just the game.

My Review:
While this was a very sweet and extremely sexy read, it was pretty predictable. But that's not to say I didn't still enjoy it.
I was very hot and cold with Shay. I found her to be a bit immature at times and over react to things. I could semi understand where she was coming from some of the time but she still acted pretty childish.
I really liked Joe. He's very sweet and charming. But I found his reasoning to keep certain secrets to be pretty stupid. You knew that they were going to eventually blow up in his face and it all could have been avoided if he just came clean. They weren't even bad secrets.
The sex was super hot and the story flowed really well. I'll definitely check out more in the series.
