The Hot Shot by Kristen Callihan

The Hot Shot (Game on, #4)

by Kristen Callihan

First we were friends. Then we were roommates. Now I want more…

What can I say about Chess Copper? The woman is capable of bringing me to my knees. I know this about five minutes after getting naked for her.

No one is more surprised than me. The prickly photographer my team hired to shoot our annual charity calendar isn’t my usual type. She’s defense to my offense, a challenge at every turn. But when I’m with her, all the regrets and darkness goes away. She makes life fun.

I want to know Chess, be close to her. Which is a bad idea.

Chess is looking for a relationship. I’ve never given a woman more than one night. But when fate leaves Chess without a home, I step up and offer her mine. We’re roommates now. Friends without benefits. But it’s getting harder to keep our hands off each other. And the longer we live together the more I realize she’s becoming my everything.

Trick is… Now that I’ve made her believe I’m a bad bet, how do I convince her to give this player a true shot at forever?

First impressions can be lasting, but thank goodness this was not the case for Finn and Chess!

After a rough start, they found they were interested in one another. However, while Chess was looking for a relationship, Finn was not. They decided upon a mutual friendship instead, but as expected, the friendship grew into something more. The whole first half of the book, I was trying to mind-meld Chess into giving Finn a chance. Yes, he said he was a bad bet, and his past supported this fact, but he was changing, and it was easy to see a future between them. That was quite a complication Callihan threw in there. It was pretty heartbreaking with respect to both Finn and Chess. And, I have to say, I loved the way Callihan kept planting "I Can't Help Falling in Love with You" in all its incarnations throughout the story. The line, "take my hand", says it all when it comes to this union between Finn and Chess, and gosh! I wanted her to take his hand, and trust him, because he certainly won me over.

Another fabulous Game On book, and boy, was I glad to be back in this world. I really hope we get Jake's book at some point, because I am really enjoying this group of guys.
