All-Star linebacker Frank Kelly is as well-known for his
off the field activities as he is for the on field ones.
When he finds himself in trouble one more time a well
connected woman comes to his rescue. As a player he is use
to being IN THE RED ZONE but this time there is more at
stake than a game.
Kiana Dyer is the daughter of a Hall of Fame football
player, but the charity organization that she took over
after his death isn't getting the media attention she
needs. A staged romance with the famous Frank Kelly is
just
what she hopes will help her out.
So after agreeing to be her doting boyfriend for two
months
Frank and Kiana get what they both want. His reputation is
repaired and the charity organization gets the much needed
attention. Two things go wrong, Frank realizes he isn't
pretending anymore and a scandal surrounding the charity
has Kiana scrambling to clear her name. Will the once
reputed love 'em and leave 'em man be able to stand by her
side and help her clear up the mess that now affects both
of them?
IN THE RED ZONE gives you everything you look for when
reading a romance. It is warm, sweet yet spicy but also
takes you to the next level with the danger that Frank and
Kiana face together. Frank is a player, and I mean more
than football, his nickname is after all Romeo. We get to
watch as he grows up and faces the truth when he knows
what
he wants and what he has to do to claim his heart. Kiana
has had a rough life and wants to make a difference in the
world. What starts out as her using him turns into so much
more that even she imagined.
Author Crista McHugh is not afraid to touch on social
issues such as gambling, racial differences and abuse
which
can all be found in this one, but done in a way that makes
you aware but don't feel preached to. This is book six of
the
Kelly Brothers series and though some who read
these might
find the formula comparable the characters and situations
are different ... but, of course, they have all led to
love
and happily ever after. Another winner by Ms. McHugh!
