Romance Contemporary | Romance Erotica Sensual

Fern Morgan is done with men. For tonight anyway. Stood up and annoyed, she doesn't fancy hanging around when the bar is crashed by local rugby team, the Strathstow Sharks. But her escape plans are halted by a cute blond player with a killer smile and a muscled body to die for...

Tom Sexton is the team's Mr. Sensible. The guy who keeps an eye out for the rest and makes sure everyone gets home at the end of the night. But one look at the curvy little brunette trying to make a break for it and all his predatory instincts go into overdrive. Tom's done being Mr. Sensible...

The problem is, once he has her in his bed, will he ever want to let her go?

Re: Hitting on the Hooker

This book sounds wonderful and I look forward to reading it! Thank you for the chance to win a copy!

I would assume that the positions for Rugby aren't that
different from the positions in Football. I really don't
know Football that well, but since Rugby sounds like a cross
between Football and Hockey, I'll take a stab at it. The
only thing I can come up with would be a Left and Right
Guard, a Center, and a Goalie!! After that I'm stumped!!
Your book is probably more exciting, and I'm looking forward
to reading it. Have a wonderful New Year!!

Oh boy... I am not a sports person so I have no clue... but I have enjoyed romances with sports in them.
(Colleen Conklin 11:57am January 14, 2015)

I don't have a clue for the above question , but I know I would enjoy reading the book .
(Joan Thrasher 1:32pm January 14, 2015)

Prop and hooker are the front positions and there also lock (second row), flankers, number 8, scrum half, fly half, centres, wings and a full back. Rugby is a fun sport to watch. I started watching it this fall and even if you don't understand it that well it is easy to get caught up with everyone hollering and the game is fast moving.
(Angie Kroemer 2:56pm January 14, 2015)

I suspect rugby would join all other sports in my interest level--basically ZERO! But sports heroes are OK.
(Carol Gowett 3:33pm January 14, 2015)

i think the person at the goal keeping the ball out and the kicker. i guess??
(Jennifer Beck 4:21pm January 14, 2015)

I went to a charity date auction for our local Rugby team just last month! Had no idea we had a local team til my friend invited me to the auction

Book sounds like the type I love to read. I hope I win!
(Susan Mahaffey 8:04pm January 14, 2015)

I think there is one called a rucker? Or something like
that!
(Kimberly Benyak 8:10pm January 14, 2015)

I only know soccer positions, so I will guess center,
forwards, fullbacks, halfbacks, and goalie, probably wrong
:).
(Vicki Tunell 9:23pm January 14, 2015)

I never quite got the rules of rugby or soccer down, but I never
mind watching a bunch of physically fit young men running and
showing off their skills!
(Marcia Berbeza 10:14pm January 14, 2015)

Hi Mina, from what I understand, there are really only two positions: there are 8 forwards and 7 backs. Thanks for the giveaway.

There's the hooker, the scrum half, props, centres, fly half
and, of course the full back - the position I played when I
was 10!
(Jen Barnard 11:41am January 15, 2015)

Any sports stuff..... My eyes get glazed. I stare at you said I am
understanding everything. But actually NOTHING. As for you story, now
that's another matter altogether. Two guys one gal. Sounds sexy already to
me. Can't wait to see more of it.
(Kantu Malhotra 11:57am January 15, 2015)

I would love to read this book! Never read it so I would love to read it :)
(Daiane Chen 5:54pm January 15, 2015)

All I know about rugby is there is a kicker and some striped shirts. History I
can remember. Sports - not so much. I once asked how many innings
where left in a football game. I think it has quarters.
(Laura Gullickson 3:44pm January 16, 2015)

I have no clue, but the book sounds great!
(Julie Touchstone 10:58pm January 16, 2015)

The rugby key field positions include full-back, wings, centres, fly-half, scrum-half, number eight, flanker, lock, hooker, and props.
