Synopsis

When Killian MacGregor, the hottest quarterback in the NFL, eyes the perfect pair of female legs, he spends an hour tracking the gorgeous woman in a room filled with rowdy teammates until one gets out of line.
Rebecca Cavanaugh, a long distance runner for the state team, intimidates boys and men with her quick wit and majestic height. The pre-season jock party isn’t her scene, but she’s roped into attending to provide her sister a sober ride home. Hiding in the kitchen to avoid the athletic sex fest, a drunken thug forces Rebecca to her knees, and waves a giant ding-dong in her face. Before Rebecca can extricate herself from the hairy situation, an unknown champion saves the night. When Killian assists Rebecca off the floor, she’s stunned into silence while staring at the sexiest man alive. Will Killian’s bad boy rep and Rebecca’s need for commitment, make this the most impossible “Play” of the season? Or, will Killian’s haunting past and need for victory destroy the most important game of his life? “Play” is intended for readers 18+. Enjoy with caution… this book contains adult situations, erotic sex, and more balls than a girl knows what to do with.

Sunny's Review:

We all know how I feel about football players and sport books...so do we think this one lived up to my standards??? ABSOLUTELY!!!
 
So part of me has always wondered about what athletes go through during the season. Like what is the day to day and what do you do before games. I think the first movie I ever saw where I was like "What the hell? Is that REALLY what happens?" (yes I was in a small town in Texas from 13 to 18 so I am naïve in a lot of things) was Any Given Sunday. I can honestly say my mouth was hanging open through most of that movie the first time I saw it.  I know I am off on a movie not the book.
 
So the book! I loved it. Rebecca was great b/c she was an athlete but she was also awkward and still had a very self image even though she was thin. I think that sometimes we forget that even if girls are super thin and tall they might have issues with their bodies. I know I am one of those people that is like why is she complaining about anything...she is tall and skinny and I would kill for her legs!! So I did like that she had confidence issues. I also liked the fact that even with those issues she did not automatically let Killian walk all over her. I mean he got his way A LOT but seriously I would have been like yes master whatever you want! but Rebecca stood up for herself where she should have. Killian...I mean is seriously on top of the Sports list. I think (I hate to say this & will have to do a reread to confirm but...) he might have passed up Jack Carter from The Perfect Game and The Game Changer. I know how could I even think it!!! I LOVE Jack & he is a baseball player!!! But Killian ****SIGH****.  Don't get me wrong...he is a douchebag in some areas but OMG he totally makes up for it. I don't want to give too much away but Killian is really so super sweet about some things too. I love him...I can't help it.
 
I am giving this book 4.6 stars out of 5. This will be a reread when I miss football season or maybe to get ready for next season or just when I need a Killian fix! Go get it and let me know what you think!!!

Teaser

I dissolved into the seat of his amazing car. A low moan escaped my lips but Killian just showed his dimples and buckled me in. I wondered what he’d do if I pulled him tightly against me and sniffed… for an hour or two. He opened his door and folded into the seat with absolute grace regardless of his size. “Ah hell,” he muttered and turned my way. Unlatching my seatbelt, he pulled me in for the most mouthwatering kiss I’d ever had. His lips, soft but firm, molded to mine. His tongue ran over my teeth, tasted, dipped deeper, and then plunged. He effortlessly slid out the elastic holding my hair before spreading his fingers to either side of my scalp. The kiss intensified and Killian made promises for the night ahead with his lips. He tasted so damn good. When he pulled back, I actually whimpered and smiled at the low rumbling growl that came from Killian’s throat. He took my lower lip between his teeth and pulled slightly before letting go. He put distance between us leaving me bereft. “We’ll eat at my house.” He kissed my forehead, reached over, grabbed the seatbelt, and fastened me in again. My hands went to my hair as I looked around for the hair tie. “Leave it.” I stopped my search but couldn’t help running my fingers through the mussed tangles. Killian’s hand captured mine. “No.” He released my fingers just as fast as he verbalized the one word. I wasn’t a pushover, didn’t have much experience with guys, but I had some. I should have argued, straightened my hair anyway, or even voiced some sort of displeasure. An electrically charged pulse shot straight to the junction of my thighs, and there I went and tried to stain his car’s upholstery. I kept my mouth shut.
