4.5 Smooches!
Synopsis
Knox Masters is a quarterback’s worst nightmare. Warrior. Champion. And…virgin. Knox knows what he wants–and he gets it. All American Football player? Check. NFL pros scouting him? Check. Now, he’s set his sight on two things. The national title. And Ellie Campbell. Sure, she’s the sister of his fellow teammate, but that’s not going to stop him. Especially not when he’s convinced Ellie is the one.
…but he’s never met her before.
But Ellie isn’t as sure. She’s trying to start a new life and she’s not interested in a relationship…with anyone. Beside it’s not just her cardinal rule of never dating her brother’s teammates that keeps her away, but Ellie has a dark secret that would jeopardize everything Knox is pursuing.
Knox has no intention of losing. Ellie has no intention of giving in.
Review
I absolutely love me a sports romance and when I saw this cover and then I read the blurb, I knew that I had to snatch this one up! I mean, an American football player virgin, yes please! This was my first ever Jen Frederick book and I am really glad that I decided to give her a try because I certainly enjoyed Sacked!
So this story was kind of refreshing and here is why. Knox is like a real deal virgin. He hasn’t had the occasional blow job or even gone down town on a million girls. He has literally never ventured south on a girl. He is a virgin in every sense of the word and Ellie isn’t. For once, the girl didn’t want the relationship. Ellie just wants Knox’s sexy time but Knox wants all of her. See, he knows right away that she is the one.
‘When you meet the girl who’ll be sitting on the front porch holding your hand you’re eighty, you don’t let a thing like cool dismissive looks, big brothers, or fucking rules stand in your way.’
Elli just wants to have fun and skip the relationship portion of this college experience. She has been burned by football players before and just wants to have ‘fun’ with Knox but really she bites off more than she can chew with this sexy beautiful well endowed virgin football player.
‘Sweet baby Jesus, Tumblr did not prepare me for this.’
OK, this book was smoking hot, guys. The whole virgin aspect was just phenomenal. Knox was still bossy and alphaish. But, God, the virginity of it all made it even better. To make Knox even more amazing, he was sweet as pie. He really is a truly easy book boyfriend to love.
“You don’t need to say anything, baby. I can hear your heart.’
Sometimes I found myself frustrated with Ellie but I often do with NA reads because really she makes some bad decisions but isn’t that what new adults do? I mean, I know I did. So I love this frustration and angsty feeling I get reading these sexy NA reads. It definitely takes me back. I also really enjoyed getting to know some of the side characters. Like Ellie’s brother and the rest of his teammates. There were some laugh out loud moments with these guys and I am really excited for more in this series.
So, this story was definitely different than other NA sports romances I have read, which is a plus. The writing was good and the story unique. The characters were nicely flawed and the sexy time was, well, sexy. I will definitely be checking out more books from this author.
“So we’ve gotten sacked by love”?
