Book Blurb:
They call him the second coming.
Of honor for British football.
Of God in an athlete’s body.
Of every English woman’s fantasy.
Jude Davies is my country’s prodigy on the pitch. More famous than the nobility in Buckingham Palace, he and his merry band of scoundrels rule the Rogue Football Academy and the London nightlife scene alike.Of honor for British football.
Of God in an athlete’s body.
Of every English woman’s fantasy.
And now, he’s aiming his well-honed set of skills directly at me. His devilish charm is lethal, but with the tragic hand life has dealt me, distractions like him aren’t an option.
Plus, we’re only playing a game. One of convenience, where he needs me to save his reputation, and I need his money to save the one person I love.
Until he wraps me around that immoral finger.
Until I crave that reckless, wild high he provides.
Until I hope for a future that will never happen.
That’s the thing about going toe-to-toe with the next football legend. He’s faster, stronger, and will destroy me every time.

My Thoughts:
At one point the author did have me a little confused. She has me feeling sorry for Aria’s situation but then turns around and has Aria do something you wouldn’t expect. But then I realize, yea one of those light bulb moments, the author was giving us the “wait for it” moment.
There were times where I felt that Aria was the adult and Jude was the teenager seeing what he could get away with. It seems like Aria is there to guide him over the invisible line into adulthood. She seemed more temptation than someone he wants to get to know better. Every time I turned around the author put another twist in – had to be careful otherwise I’d get whiplash. The twists made it very easy to keep turning the page. This was my first book with this author and it was a great introduction. I’ll be interested to see where this series is going to go and maybe the epilogue gave me a little peek.
