Quarterback Cooper Armstrong is finally playing again, and his team is experiencing a winning season. The Gods are good. Now if he can renew his contract all will be perfect. When he is spotted with his best friend's sister at a charity event, it becomes the talk of the town, and the team's owner is pleased. This results in the two of them entering into a fake relationship but whose faking what?

Gads I love Cooper. The man is cocky, sexy and just a tad adorkable. Seriously he is dreamy. Violet Pierson has known Cooper since the second grade and has been crushing on him ever since. Only she is Trent's little sister, and he's never looked at her twice. I loved the banter and chemistry between these two. It is obvious they know and like each other, and despite Cooper's initial declarations, it soon becomes clear he is in over his head.

It was such a hoot seeing these two kiss for the crowd and getting their reactions. Blakely slowly builds up the sexual tension before turning up the heat. It felt fresh, hot and delicious with a touch of sweet that curled my toes.

Aside from the romance, we get a little Football. We meet the team, see their rituals, enjoy their comradery and become caught up in the game. Secondary characters, Violet's hairdressing business, and friends balance out the tale and make us feel apart of their circle.

Zackery Webb narrators and the man's voice is sexy delivering the cocky and adorable sides of Cooper. His females voices are believable, and I quickly become immersed in the tale. This review was originally posted at Caffeinated Reviewer
