I surprisingly liked the heck out of this book! Ok the gang bang to help the h get over her problems was a bit far fetched, but dang it was hot! I love a good menage.

Looking forward to the next one!

I definitely wasn't expecting a MMF menage when I began reading Broken Play. It was a surprise to expect something else in addition to football, which was rather fun!

Marian Treadwell is an assistant coach wanting to break out of her father's shadow and prove herself within the testosterone fuelled world of NFL league. However, she's in Birmingham with a team that needs as much help as it can to even get a wild card entry into the play-offs. It has been a gamble moving here and her reputation is on the line for recommending a player that is currently uncooperative, which has effected the morale of the rest of the team. And then there are her own personal issues which are holding her back too. Can she turn her fortunes around?

Cass Zielinski and his best friend Beau Perez are team mates who have a controversial reputation. Both are in the twilight of their playing careers and Cass hopes to impress enough to gain a front office position on retirement. Both are physically attracted to the new assistant coach as they regularly share a woman. Will she want to be part of that scene? They both hope for that and so much more.

Cass and Beau's mutual attraction for Marian acts as a catalyst for both men to explore their own relationship which moves from platonic to physical love, whilst both desire to include her in all aspects of their life. She's open to a physical relationship but something is holding her back to agree to a more permanent arrangement. The key is the new un-cooperative player on the team and he knows her secret.

The award for the character with the most vivid imagination goes to Cass Zielinksi, who comes up with a completely OTT proposal for Marian to work through her fears and for Danny Smith to become integrated into the team. It is kinky and HOT and oh so unexpected!

As a sports theme novel, I would have liked more “on the field” action to at least justify the team's unique “bonding” session to balance all the hot sexy scenes. But overall this was a fun and entertaining and I've found a new author to follow in the process.

I have to confess that this book wasn’t really what I expected and because of that, it was hard for me to know how to rate the book.

Broken Play focuses on Marian, an assistant coach for a newer NFL team, and two players Cass and Beau. The three of them end up forming a unique relationship while also trying to get the team to gel at minicamp. I liked the premise of the book. The idea of a female assistant coach in the NFL is a cool one and her falling in love with not one, but two players on her team pushes the boundaries.

The sexy times between Marian, Cass, and Beau and incredibly hot, but it seems like things move almost too quickly between them. It also seemed like once the three main characters began their sexual relationship, the plot development of the story took a back seat.

I feel like this book had potential to be really good, but the story got side tracked by the sexy time.
