This tight end is at the top of his game.
He’s good with his hands, even better with his sexy mouth, and the best at making me forget my own name. His—ahem—stats are perfect.
But I can’t fall for him.
He might be everything I want, all rolled into a glorious package of gridiron god, but there’s one teeny-tiny problem. The vile, loathsome team I’ve spent my entire life hating—my beloved school’s arch-rival?
This guy is their star player.
My Thoughts:
After giving this time to settle, I still have some ambiguous feelings about this book. I liked the idea of the book - there's no better set up for conflict than a little bit of rivalry - but this book takes it to an extreme that is almost over the top. And mostly one-sided. On the one side, you have Jay, who plays college football, so he's all about the competitive nature of the game - on the field.. Off the field, he's a lot more tolerant of other people and more open-minded. Certainly more open-minded than Kayla, who is on the other side. And makes no bones about stating her opinion of her rivals. In fact, she's very obnoxious and in-your-face about it and let me tell you, a little of that goes a long way. There are times where it's so overbearing that I kept asking Jay, "Come on, why the heck are you putting up with this crap?" In fact, she's kind of a bitch about it. And she does little to redeem herself before the end of the book, which still left me wondering what he saw in her. Let's just say she wasn't one of my favorite characters, so there wasn't a real payoff for me in the end. The only thing that kept this book from being a total bummer for me was Jay. He was such a good character, I read to the end for his happy-ending and nothing else. Everything about him was just perfect, right down to his family - who didn't have the same rabid feelings about "the big rivalry" as did Kayla's family. And the rivalry itself, I thought was a little extreme. Do fans really act like that - especially at a college level? Who knows, maybe they do. Despite these things, though not a total winner with me, I did enjoy reading the book.
