Guest Review: Game on – Tracy Solheim

The only way to win is to score…

With a reputation for fast moves on the gridiron and even faster moves off the field, Shane Devlin was a player in every sense of the word. Unfortunately, his bad-boy persona has made him a risky prospect as a quarterback, and only the Baltimore Blaze are willing to give him a chance. And he’s about to take a hit he never expected.

Working for the Blaze, Carly March knows too well how jocks think—and what they think with—so she’s always made a point of keeping them at arm’s length. But when she shares a kiss with the devilishly handsome Shane, she finds it hard to play by her own rules—and even harder to resist him.

Can a football hero and a business-minded beauty take it all the way? Or will their mutual attraction cost them the big game?

Reviewer’s Thoughts

The story revolves around Shane Devlin, a seasoned out-of-work quarterback looking for a team to hire him.  Shane is a handsome, alpha male with the nickname devil of the NFL, because his play off the field is as notorious as his play on the field.

Shane meets Carly March while vacationing in Caba San Lucas.  Carly is an attractive, strong female with a loving heart, even though her life has held many challenges.  There is a strong attraction between them, but Carly doesn’t want to date a jock.

Circumstances however, keep bringing them together.  Even though Shane is a loner and he has spent his life avoiding commitment, he  is continually drawn into Carly’s life.

This fast paced book pulled me in from the first page.  Shane and Carly were engaging characters and it was interesting watching them evolve throughout the book.  This is a simple story of jock meets girl, their strong connection and their continual struggle dealing with their feeling.  If you love sports romance as much as I do, you will enjoy this book.  There were many interesting secondary characters and Carly’s best friend Julianne will be featured in the next book.  I can’t wait.
