Abby is definitely not lacking in passion, but the sweet-faced beauty needs to learn a thing or two about taking a team to the championship--and a whole lot about how to let a man into her once-broken heart. Pierce definitely knows how to make the moves, but will Abby trust that the bachelor the world has condemned as a scoundrel can settle down with the one woman who has taken hold of his heart?
MY REVIEWS:
This was a funny yet eye opening story on some
family dynamics, relationships and life in general. The author has an interesting spin on how she
goes about introducing tough topics on and in relationships. Yet covers them without hitting you over the
head and yet you really feel them.
Abby McCord is a young woman who has been
in relationships where she has been hurt.
So, she is I guess you could say guarded. Being hurt is not on her schedule, planner or
clipboard that is for sure. She is what
some might call overly cautious. She
might say she likes to be prepared like a girl scout. It has almost been a year since her last
relationship and although she says she has gotten over it, it doesn’t appear
that way.
Pierce
Harrison on the other hand has had many encounters. Just not, ever, any lasting relationships so
has no clue what one would even look like.
He has had nothing but one night stands.
The only lasting you could say he has ever had is with his sister Tess,
who he adores and vice a versa, she is the only female for sure too. His father Charles II hates him to the point
of despising him and his brother Charles III never seems far behind since he is
more or less his clone. As for his
brother Dane he has to give him some credit while he was across the pond, still
playing soccer & before retirement, he did keep trying to reach out to
him. Pierce just didn’t always reach
back after being ignored for so long. He
always felt so cut off from his two brothers it always felt weird. Not so natural like with Tess.
On the day he sees Abby at the soccer
while waiting for his friend that he was waiting for at the park and she was
coaching her nephew’s soccer team he could not get her out of his mind. His eye kept going to her. So, when one of the players on her team lost
track of the ball and it ended up coming toward him he did what he did best he
returned it in the style he had mastered.
Catching not only the eye of all the team but the eye of the coach. She was not too happy for here was this
stranger coming up to her boys and he had no kids on the team or on the field
or even at the park. Stranger danger and
all that. She was all over him like a
mother cub protecting her cubs and he didn’t blame her it just turned him on
even more. She was a spitfire this one
and she was not afraid to get in his face but when she was telling him he would
have to leave one of the fathers told her to wait.
You see he was known to this father a
being a player for a team in the UK.
Once he said he was it spread like wildfire and pictures started and
then it was mayhem. His beauty had
backed off and was only stealing look through her lashes. And every time he would catch her and he
would wink she would blush a dark shade of red.
He didn’t know what it was about her that turned him on but she had him
wound tight. She had none of the characteristic
of the woman he liked to date. She wasn’t
as tall, not the hair color he usually went for, or the girly girl type. But since he got there she was all he thought
of and that was good because after the game the president of the league asked
him to not only to do a clinic with the teams but to be a co-captain with
Abby.
He asked her if she knew anything about
him and why he had left the UK and the stories that were flying. She said yes and that she didn’t believe
them, well not all of them. She was
willing to have him work with the kids and so were the parents. The poor kids hadn’t won a game and Abby
could use the help. He said he would
love to. That night when the president
called her she was totally rocked and nervous because she had been totally
rocked by Pierce. When he shook her hand
she felt “IT.”
Boy was she in trouble. I give this 5 stars. Provided by netgalley.com Follow us at: www.1rad-readerreviews.com.
