Book Review: Fighting with the Rookie

 

He's everything she shouldn't want. She's everything he can't resist.

Ryker

Three unbreakable rules govern my life. Win at all costs. Never show weakness. Don't touch my coach's daughter. But Corrine Davis has been my kryptonite since we were kids, the only woman who can make me forget my own name.

When a career-threatening injury leaves me helpless, she moves into my penthouse to play nurse. Now she's strutting around in nothing but my jersey, her hands mapping every inch of my body. I'm losing my mind trying to hide the truth—I'm a virgin saving myself for her.

She's my obsession, my addiction, my ruin. And I'm about to risk everything—my career, my friendship, my sanity—for six weeks of having her exactly how I want her.

Corrine

Devastatingly sexy Ryker Cartwright is six-foot-five of pure temptation wrapped in brooding mystery. I’ve loved my brother’s best friend since I was 7. He shattered my teenage heart, and I swore I'd never let him get close again.

But when he's lying broken and vulnerable, every protective instinct I have kicks in, and I volunteer to be his caregiver before my brain can stop my heart.

He looks at me like I'm both his salvation and his downfall. Touches me like he's memorizing every inch. And when he finally lets his walls down, the man behind the mask is even more irresistible than the fantasy, hiding secrets that change everything I thought I knew about us.

My Review

I love this friends to lovers book. Corinne and Ryker are great together. Well there was that brief period when Corinne was with someone else but it kind of was understandable. They were kind of feeling pressure to not hook up. well Ryker more than Corinne. She did not care that her father was the coach. 

Corinne and Ryker are very competitive. I laughed at them trying to outdo each other during workouts. I get very competitive as well. In fact, I feed off this energy, and it makes me push harder. The flirting/teasing that Corinne did with Ryker is fun. To see him try to resist only to fall is sweet. 

I have enjoyed every book in this series. Instantly, I fell for Ryker and Corinne. The slow burn romance is great. Endearing characters and witty banter are what you will find in this book. Not to be missed read. 

A steamy, enemies-to-lovers football romance featuring a grumpy virgin hero, the woman who owns his heart, and enough sexual tension to melt your kindle. Complete with family drama, locker room banter, and a happily ever after that'll make you believe in second chances.
