The USA Today bestselling author of Forward Pass “scores a touchdown with this contemporary romance filled with heat and heart.”—Night Owl Romance

One bad tackle. That’s all it took to put wide receiver Jake Russell in a cast for the rest of the NFL season. From being a high school all-star to getting drafted by the Austin Mustangs, football has been Jake’s life for as long as he can remember. It’s what defines him—because he has a secret he never shares. But now that he’s laid up in bed with a nurse displaying a lot of distracting bedside manners, he’s discovering life off the field might have its perks . . .

One last paycheck. That’s all Erin Bass has left to her name when the resort she works at shuts down. Desperate, she agrees to be a caregiver to hardass jock Jake Russell, who also happens to be a memorable one-night stand. Before long, caring leads to daring new ways to catch up in bed, especially with Jake still in a cast. But with football on the sidelines, this time the game is serious . . .

Praise for Desiree Holt and her fan-favorite novels

“Readers can’t help but root for them to fall in love.”—RT Book Reviews

“Her novels are about the story: the characters, their motivations, their flaws and back stories and always about human nature. They are also about mature love and respect and very steamy sex.”—Austin American-Statesman

“I have read many other books by Desiree Holt and have enjoyed every one of them. Just keep them coming.”—Fresh Fiction

This was an okay romance, though a bit too repetitive for my taste. And the heroine was a bit too cold and self absorbed.

If you like a lot of sex in your romance, then this is your book.

Erin's mind may be telling her to stay away from football players and to hate them on sight, but her body just can't seem to say no to Jake Russell. Erin meets Jake at a Mustang's preseason party where her friend Ivy introduces her to him. Jake is Ivy's brother. They have a wild night, but in the light of day, Erin remembers her aversion to football players and can't seem to get Jake out of her house fast enough. Jake is shocked by the 180 that Erin pulls in the morning. He can't seem to understand how he could have been so wrong about his feelings.
But then something that all professional athletes dread happens! Jake suffers a possibly career ending injury. Unsure of his future and his identity without football, he finds himself at an abyss. Wanting to give them another chance Ivy decides to play matchmaker. Hiding each of their identities, she sets up Erin to be Jake's caretaker.
I liked the concept of the story and believed that it had potential, however, Erin's vehement hate and refusal of all football players seemed to be a little over the top. In all honesty I really thought that Jake was a real catch and a great guy and I don't understand how he put up with Erin's cold shoulder. The love scenes could have also been a little more creative and interesting.

Thank you Netgalley and Kensington Books for providing th,s ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Jake and Erin have a one-night stand. They were introduced by Jake's sister, Ivy, who is Erin's best friend. They hit it off and spend the night together. Jake knows they have an intense connection but Erin kicks him out the next morning because she doesn't date football players. A couple weeks later, Jake is injured playing football and needs in-home help. Ivy tricks Erin into helping out her brother. The chemistry is really intense between them but Erin has her reasons for not dating football players and Jake is dealing with the possibility of suffering a career ending injury.

There were a couple things I really liked about this book - Jake and Erin had really good chemistry and there were some pretty steamy scenes. Jake was a really good guy. There were a few things I didn't like - the story was a little slow and there was a lot of pushing away by Erin that drove me crazy. Overall, I did like this one and look forward to reading more books in this series.

ARC REVIEW good read

Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2016

Line of Scrimmage is book two in Desiree Holt's Game On series. If you couldn't tell by the cover it's about a football star (duh) and a woman who has written off all football players as playas after a really bad experience. In that aspect it's a typical trope but as this is Desiree Holt nothing is just typical. Desiree Holt is one of the best when it comes to erotica, this story is tame compared to some of her other stories, but a good read none the less. I'm not big on football in any aspect; unless it's Susan Elizabeth Phillips and her Chicago Stars universe. When it comes to sports romance I'm more of a baseball/hockey kinda girl. With that said I really enjoyed this one. I loved the characters and the story.

Jake Russell and Erin Bass had one hot night. An instant undeniable attraction had both of them acting out of the norm. But the next morning Jake wants to talk about starting an actual relationship and Erin blows him off. She tells Jake there's not need to pretend he want a real relationship he got what he wanted and so did she, there is no need to prolong the inevitable. Jake is thrown for a loop that she thinks that unlike some, most, of the other guys in the NFL he has never been one of those guys. He is hurt and upset that she would think that about him, but instead of staying and trying to change her mind he leaves. The common link between Jake and Erin is Jake's sister Ivy who is also Erin's best friend. Ivy arranged for them to meet knowing they were perfect for each other and now Ivy is confused that what should have been a perfect thing between to people is now just not there.

Some time later, Jake is playing a fantastic first game of the season and out of nowhere bam, he gets injured. He got hit so hard it took him out for the rest of the season, and it's the type of injury that just might take him out of the game permanently. In need of around the clock care Ivy hires the perfect person.

Erin is living on the remains of her last paycheck; the spa where she use to manage changed owners and fired everyone. Ivy offers her the job of being the personal assistant to a very important client of hers and man who needs help around the house and make sure he gets all the care he needs and keeping unwanted people from harassing him. Erin is hesitant but her dwindling bank account and a very generous salary has her accepting the job. Unaware that her new boss is the one man she turned away, for fear of losing her heart to him.

It's a rocky start for Jake and Erin, she wants to quit but she isn't heartless enough to leave Jake without someone to help him. Erin is good for Jake, she helps him in the healing process the stages of grief. Jake is just as good for Erin he has her realize not every football player is a womanizing douchebag like her ex. It's no surprise they fall in love as quickly as they do. Jake never forgot how Erin made him feel that night and how she makes him feel now, but he's afraid now of not being man enough for her. Erin knew she could easily lose her heart to Jake and that is one reason she pushed him away at the beginning but seeing him through this life changing event and learning more about him and his past and everything he has done makes falling in love easy. Because now that she has him she won't let him push her away, no matter what.

Overall, this was a good read. There was a lot of character development with Jake, there's definitely more to him than meets the eye. Erin pretty much is what she appears to be, her big revelation of her painful past was not that shocking. The story overall was enjoyable.

Another great story by Desiree Holt. Jake & Erin were a great pairing. Jake has a life changing event & Erin is tricked by her friend & Jake's sister into helping take care of him. The fireworks between them are wild & the heat scorching. Definitely recommend to read.
