PASS INTERFERENCE DESIREE HOLT
Party girl Tyler Gillette has just one rule: no football players. As the daughter of the owner of the San Antonio Hawks, she grew up in the shadow of the sport and her father’s enormous wealth. She was even named Tyler because he wanted a boy. Life couldn’t have drawn up a better play for turning her into a wild child—until that same life is threatened by someone from the past . . .
Former Hawks running back Rafe Ortiz has a few rules of his own. First, no weaknesses. Second, no babysitting spoiled football princesses. But his new career as a bodyguard means he’s responsible for protecting the beautiful Tyler Gillette from her mysterious stalker. But keeping his hands off her might be harder than keeping her safe ...
MY REVIEW:
When a tragedy changes your life and the
dynamics of your household it can also change the course of your future. If you have no one to guide you or and adult
to point that out especially. This is
exactly what happened to Tyler Gillette.
You see Tyler’s mother passed away when
she was ten at the time. Even though she
had lost her mom it felt like she lost both parents. You see her dad dealt with his grief by
throwing himself into everything Hawk’s related. His previous football team came first above
all else but especially above her.
She tried everything to get him to notice
her and to please him. To show him she
was and could be as good as a son he always wanted instead of her, a girl. Nothing, not a damn thing worked. He wasn’t happy with her, angry with her,
nope he was nothing he just ignored her.
In fact he sent her away with money and told her to keep busy. The fact that she had, his way of thinking,
insulted him she being a daughter after all and not a son made it worse. Giving her a boy’s name didn’t change a
thing.
So naturally she went to the deeper end of
the pool to get a response which for sure finally got at least an eyebrow raised. She started outrageous behavior
and kept upping her game until he was tearing his hair out. All because she just wanted him to love her
and notice her.
All this at what cost? Her rep, friends, and a real
relationship. Although the only
relationship she truly wanted and fantasied about she knew would never happen. That would be with Rafe Ortiz. He was a former Hawks player and who was
currently head of her father’s security detail at the stadium.
The first time she saw Rafe he had just
been signed and she was in college all of twenty he was twenty-two. I despised all things Hawks, football, and
football players. But my heart, body and
eyes knew what it wanted. It wanted Rafe
Ortiz.
The first time Rafe ever saw Tyler he was
a lost cause. He knew if he ever tried
it would be a career ender for sure. Not
to mention she was too young. So the discipline
he learned on the field he used off the field especially when he was around
her. All the more when they made eye
contact because he saw that she wanted him too.
He could see that she was one hot mess.
Then one night he’s playing cards with
his buddies and a call comes in and he sees it’s her. He’s wondering how she got his number. After some bantering he hears the fear in her
voice and he responds to that. He ask
where she is and she names the dive bar and he has a snide remark they have a
heated word until he hears someone banging on the door to the bathroom and
calling her foul names. He tells her to
lock it he’s on his way.
A few days go by she calls him again out
to her house this time they banter again she tells him forget it when he
continues to insult her about her rep.
Finally he hears the real fear and agrees to show up. Again the banter—insults—make up to which he
fact finds she has a stalker. Now that’s
a game changer for him. She sees she
needs a change too…
I enjoyed this book. It had a lot of action with the whole stalker
situation but the bantering and love story was so good also it really had you
from the beginning. I give this 5 stars.
