In the new Play-By-Play novel by the New York Times bestselling author of Unexpected Rush, a football player with all the right moves on the field needs a better game plan for his love life. A defensive end for the San Francisco Sabers, Flynn Cassidy is used to being in the spotlight—he just doesn’t enjoy it. But if getting in front of the cameras will help his new restaurant succeed, he’s willing. Now if he could just meet a woman who loved him and not his fame… After her divorce, Amelia Lawrence is thrilled to start over as head chef at Ninety-Two. It’s just the opportunity she needs to heat up her career—if only she wasn’t wildly attracted to her sexy new boss. Their chemistry might be sizzling hot, but Amelia has no intention of being burned again. Amelia is genuine and fun and Flynn can’t get enough of her—and Amelia loves every second she spends with the tough but tender Flynn. But trust is a hard fought battle for both of them. Breaking the rules of contact and surrendering to their passion was easy, but are they willing to risk their hearts to win at the game of love?

Rules of Contact by Jaci Burton brings us back to the San Francisco Sabers, with defensive end Flynn Cassidy being thrust into the spotlight again when he’s opening a new restaurant. Flynn has so many layers, he’s more than just a football player, but his legitimate romantic prospects are limited. The only woman he’s been around is the one who makes his equally irritated and turned on, his new chef Amelia Lawerence, who’s getting over her own issues and isn’t ready to be back in the fire.
Having picked up this series after a brief respite, Rules of Contact was a nice book and made me appreciate Jaci Burton once again. You can’t help feeling for Flynn, who wants nothing more than to find a woman who wants him despite his fame. I was able to see the issues that he had, and I was thrilled with the way Amelia was able to handle him. Amelia and he have to learn that they have to trust one another if they are going to have more in life.
