Bad boy football star Cedric Reeves is nearing his first
free agency without an agent. No one will take him on. His
antics off the field have damaged his reputation, putting
his ability to renegotiate with the New York Sabers at risk,
and, for reasons unbeknownst to just about everyone, he
needs to continue playing for the Sabers.
Newly minted agent Payton Mosely is in need of a client.
Who better to begin her roster with than damaged goods,
running back Cedric Reeves? His contract is up, and she
knows he will be a hard sell. If she can get him the
contract he wants, not to mention some sweet endorsements,
she'll have no problem building Mosely Sports Management
into a formidable firm.
From the moment they lay eyes on one another, Cedric and
Payton must fight an attraction tantamount to putting out a
forest fire. But getting involved beyond the bounds of
their professional relationship is out of the question for
Payton. And although Cedric would quickly give in to his
escalating desire, he needs his agent happy and focused on
securing his future. So he agrees to Payton's rules...sort of.
In I'LL CATCH YOU, Farrah Rochon continues her series about
the players of the fictional New York Sabers, a professional
football team on the brink of making a run for a
championship. Payton's arguments that getting involved with
a client, especially her first one, will ruin her reputation
as an agent, making it impossible for any team to take her
seriously, encouraging other players to look at her as an
easy target and setting back women agents a thousand years,
are all solid. Cedric is at a point where he has begun to
look at his conduct and is open to making some radical
changes. The trick is finding some way in which the two of
them can work together...and play together, then convincing
Payton.
Rochon weaves of a tale of restrained passion, making the
reader wonder which, not whether, one of the two of them
will give in first. I'LL CATCH YOU strengthens the series
begun in Rochon's 2010 release, Huddle with me
Tonight, and lays the groundwork for more to come from
these football players, their coaches, friends and
relatives. The minor setting errors in the first novel are
not present here.
As always with a Farrah Rochon novel, family plays a huge
role in the story with both Payton and Cedric motivated, in
part, by their love for their family. Readers do not need
to be football, or even sports, fans to enjoy this fun,
sassy and sexy tale. Again, I find myself eagerly awaiting
the next installment.
Cedric Reeves has just been sidelined, and the bad-boy pro
footballer suddenly finds himself without an agent or a
prayer of getting back in the game. What he needs is
someone pulling for him...someone like gorgeous go-getter
Payton Mosely.
A media-hounded celebrity like Cedric is just what the
ambitious up-and-comer Payton needs to jump-start her
career. That's why she's waging a no-holds-barred campaign
to land the Saber running back as her first client. But
how's the NFL sports agent supposed to keep things strictly
professional when Cedric pursues her with a passion no sane
woman can resists? Could this sexy bad boy be good for her
after all?
