Synopsis:

She’s always played it safe…

College junior Lucy Washington abides by one rule—avoid risk at all costs. She’s cautious in every aspect of her life, from her health, to her mock trial team, to the boring guys she dates. When a brash, gorgeous jock walks into the campus coffee shop and turns his flirt on, Lucy is stunned by the force of attraction. For the first time ever, she’s willing to step out of her comfort zone, but can she really trust the guy who’s determined to sweep her off her feet?

He’s always played around…

Entering his last year of college eligibility, linebacker Matthew “Matty” Iverson has the team captaincy in his sights. And it’s his for the taking, if he can convince his quarterback Ace Anderson to give up the starting position. Luckily, Matty already has an edge—the hottie he’s lusting over just happens to be Ace’s childhood best friend. Getting Lucy on his side and in his bed? Hell yeah. Matty is more than confident he can have both, but when he falls hard for Lucy, it’s time for a new game plan: convince the woman of his dreams that she’s not sleeping with the enemy.

My Review:

Exciting and addicting from the first page. Although the second book in Jen Frederick’s Grid Iron Series it can be read as a stand-alone. Gritty and sexy, Jen is awesome at setting up situations that can overwhelm relationships and then finding ways to overcome these issues. I love how Jen shows realistically how friends can encourage or destroy relationships, how our pasts can taint our future and the complications of life, health and busy schedules can be dealt with. And, as always, the secondary characters are awesome, hilarious, and integral to the story – especially Hammer (who was just as awesome in the first book). I’d love to see what happens with him next.
