Romance Contemporary

Shay Beckham moves to San Antonio, Texas from New York where she is temporarily staying with her brother Hank. Shay has a contract for her job as graphic designer that allows her to work from anywhere. Returning from one of her New York trips she is stunned to find her sexy dream since 8-years-old, Joe Reilly, standing butt naked in front of her. Joe was her teenage crush and star of her adult erotic fantasies as well as Hank's best friend. A famous NFL quarterback star, Joe is retired and a sportscaster with Fox News since his career ending injury. Hank's message is for Joe to make himself at home until he returns--with no mention of Shay. Every woman's ideal hunk, who's now in her shower, has Shay completely mesmerized by the gorgeous man standing naked in all his glory after 15 years. Joe is just as shell shocked to see the captivating woman taking his breath away who used to be the skinny awkward kid following he and Hank around. No way was Shay going to share the space with this player. His past flings and player reputation keep that red flag in front of Shay, no matter how hot he makes her. It's just too bad they can't elude each other and they end up falling for hot, undeniable sex. But, maybe cordial erotic sex would be ok while he's there? Shay and Joe both fess up and admit they have loved each other from the beginning, and just didn't realize it until now. Things look pretty great, especially those erotic crazy sexy things he does to her, if only his secrets didn't keep her edgy. Keeping a low profile, Joe is anonymously involved in many special charitable organizations and needs to convince Shay he is indeed a changed man before revealing that info. If his secrets involving an old flame wouldn't keep surfacing, Joe just might have a chance at making Shay his own. This very cute story is one of the Game On series by this creative author. Take one hot NFL star and a successful "little sister" of his best friend, and together they make the sparks fly hot. Their sizzling sex consumes them but trust is an issue for Shay. There is an awful lot of really hot sex throughout, and probably a little bit more than I needed in the story. It was definitely entertaining with each and every little surprise that popped up. This story will certainly keep the readers' eyes glued to the pages. Hot, Hot, Hot! I have read many other books by Desiree Holt and have enjoyed every one of them. Just keep them coming.

SUMMARY

Get Ready to Play Rough

Shay Beckham grew up idolizing her brother’s best friend, star quarterback Joe Reilly. There was no one in their Texas town who had the moves to match Joe on or off the field. Years later, he’s still a player who has what it takes to drive any hot-blooded woman wild. But Shay isn’t a kid with a bad case of hero-worship anymore. She’s grown-up and independent, with her feet on the ground and a serious head on her shoulders. If she could just say the same for Joe. It’s been fifteen years, but Joe Reilly hasn’t forgotten the skinny little kid who used to follow him around like a shadow. What he can’t get over is that the skinny shadow has grown into one hell of an incredible woman. One any man in his right mind would kill to get his hands on. And one who seems to be completely immune to him. He knows he and Shay could have something special together. If he could only convince her he’s about more than just the game.
