Shane Devlin is a quarterback without a game, nursing his
hurt pride on the Mexican Riviera. When he meets Carly
March she's just another lovely lady, not all that
impressed by him. But next time he sees her she's handling
publicity for his new team, the Baltimore Blaze, and he's
glad they didn't get involved.
GAME ON takes us inside the world of professional American
football, from paperwork and publicity to down and dirty on
the field. Coach Richardson has personal issues as his wife
is battling cancer, and Carly's closeness to the family is
misinterpreted by Shane who imagines she's seeing the
coach. In fact Carly has an admirer who's pretty near to
being a stalker, and a notorious background which keeps the
press interested in her. When the stalker grabs Carly in a
social setting, Shane rescues her by improvidently throwing
a punch at the guy, and a media frenzy begins.
This adult novel by Tracy Solheim places more emphasis on
the background of running a team than on game play, though
there is plenty of play in the bedroom, and we see why pro
athletes are in demand. Rounding off the characters
however we see Shane with a young brother who wants to live
with him and runs away from home to do just that. Anyone
interested in this sport might enjoy this read, and Solheim
has a follow-up in the works, 'Foolish Games' for later
this year. GAME ON is more about the people than the
football and should appeal to women who want a look behind
the scenes.
With a reputation for fast moves on the gridiron and even
faster moves off the field, Shane Devlin was a player in
every sense of the word. Unfortunately, his bad-boy persona
has made him a risky prospect as a quarterback, and only the
Baltimore Blaze are willing to give him a chance. And he’s
about to take a hit he never expected.
Working for the Blaze, Carly March knows too well how jocks
think—and what they think with—so she’s always made a point
of keeping them at arm’s length. But when she shares a kiss
with the devilishly handsome Shane, she finds it hard to
play by her own rules—and even harder to resist him.
