Get ready to fall in love with this new standalone sports romance from New York Times bestselling author Kim Karr.
He’s the newly drafted quarterback.
Hot. Arrogant. Too sexy for words.
Ready to score.
I’m an athletic intern, and the coach’s daughter.
Driven. Determined. Prepared to conquer the world.
Completely off-limits.
The NFL is full of rules. Rules I’ve never broken. Never challenged. Never even scratched—until the day Lucas Carrington crashes into my life with his hard body and I-don’t-give-a-f*ck attitude.
After I almost injure my father’s star player, I volunteer to make sure he’s in top shape. At first, it’s hell. I don’t like his attitude, his cockiness, his easy smile. Don’t like the way he oozes sex. Or how his penetrating eyes follow me everywhere.
That doesn’t stop me from wanting him.
He’s meant to be a distraction—something to occupy my mind for these precious few remaining hot summer nights before I’m forced to leave football behind forever.
I know what we’re doing will lead nowhere good. I know we’re crossing the line. And I know my father will never understand.
None of that matters.
But maybe it should.
Rules aren’t meant to be broken.
Or are they?

Stephanie’s 3 Star Review:
I was given a copy of this book from the author for an honest review.
It’s a new football season. New quarterback joins the Chicago team. Begrudgingly. Lucas is full of attitude but absolutely loves the game. Gillian, one of the sports medicine interns, notices an issue with Lucas’ shoulder after a practice and here’s where I’d love to say the rest is history. HA!
Well, I suppose it is however it’s not without major complications. See…Lucas is basically on trial during training camp to prove he has what it takes to play professional football. Gillian is also the head coach’s daughter. Eep! Talk about conflict of interest and the beginning of the end of your career!
These two definitely have the chemistry. They have will and desire. It seemed to me that this book just kind of drug along. I think some of the secondary characters could have had a stronger voice in the book. Offered more conflict or something. The biggest hurdle, of course, was Coach. He’s the worst object to get over as far as their relationship is concerned. Sometimes he had too much figurative power over these two.
The writing is great, as typical for a Kim Karr book, I think you’ll find. I was just missing more from the secondary players in this story. Lucas and Gillian always hiding away from others gave them time to get to know one another they just didn’t get to enjoy their relationship with their friends.
