Two former loves reunited, a retired NBA player and a new
college professor. But will they be able to put the past
hurts behind them to love anew?
In CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF YOU, Dr. Jenna Gaines can't bring
herself to trust Scott Hendricks, not after the way he chose
his career over her years before. Scott thinks Jenna really
wasn't that into him back then. Despite the sparks that
still flow between them, each is hesitant to give love
another chance.
I love romance novels set against a sports backdrop. There's a
taste of this in CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF YOU, but the story
focuses much more on Jenna and her world as a new college
professor than on Scott's. I didn't realize at first that
this story is part of the Prescott series, the
earlier novels by Bette Ford also set in and around the
worlds of the NFL and NBA. (I had the pleasure of reading
the last one, Can't Say No.) It was nice to
revisit the characters from those novels as they appeared,
Scott Hendricks being friends with the Prescott family.
I liked that Scott was no pushover. Sure, Jenna had
justifiable issues with him but when she seemed to be
incapable of giving him a second chance, he was willing to
accept her decision. On the other hand, Jenna was
devastated when it looked as though Scott had cast her aside
yet again. (Why is it that the women always fall apart
but the men seem to take their romantic
disappointments in stride? Alas, that's an analysis for
another day.)
CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF YOU is a fast-paced, sexy read, perfect
for the start of the upcoming basketball season.
Jenna Gaines has her Ph.D., a great
teaching job at her alma mater, everything she ever wanted
in life . . . almost. Once upon a time she wanted Scott
Hendricks, but the NBA called and he left her to become a
hoops star. Now his career is over, and the only man Jenna
ever loved is back at her school and in her life--too many
years too late, as far as she's concerned.
Jenna would
have given up her dreams to follow Scott, which was the last
thing he wanted. All Scott can think about now is the taste
of her lips and how it feels to caress her silky ebony skin,
but Jenna won't give him a second chance to break her heart.
She will, however, let him be her backup and support when
she reconnects with her long-lost brother.
But anything
could happen on their fateful trip--because Scott still has
the moves . . . and the magic.
