L. P. Dover’s tantalizing Second Chances series gets a change of scenery as the Carolina Cougars’ infamous bad boy heads to the West Coast. His best laid plans call for seduction—but a driven career woman has him begging for more. Trying to live down his very public indiscretions, Carolina Cougars kicker Jaxon Reed feels like the most hated man in the NFL. When he’s traded away, his new teammates in California don’t waste any time making his life miserable. Unfortunately for them, Jaxon’s no easy target. As payback, he sets his sights on the quarterback’s sister: a sultry brunette who’s curvy, confident, and sexy as hell. But what begins as a revenge fling turns into so much more. Bristol Thomas doesn’t have time for games, especially those played by her brother’s Neanderthal teammates. A talented interior designer with lofty goals, she doesn’t know the first thing about football, or Jaxon—except that he’s exactly the type of man she usually avoids. But when his deep laugh and deeper kisses break through her walls, she becomes the target of a fan who’s obsessed with Jaxon. Now she needs to know that Jaxon has her back . . . because he already has her heart. Advance praise for L. P. Dover’s Catching Summer

I have enjoyed reading all of the books in L. P. Dover’s Second Chances series and was excited to read INTENDED FOR BRISTOL. It is a story about Jaxon, a professional football player with the Carolina Cougars and Bristol, an interior designer. Jaxon is the bad boy of the team and his attitude and decisions have caused some problems in the past, although he is trying to make some changes and become a better person. Jaxon has a reputation with the ladies and has never been interested in a long term relationship, until he meets Bristol.
Bristol loves her job and spends most of her time working and leaves little time for dating. She dated a football player and he broke her heart so she doesn’t want anything to do with athletes, especially football players. I liked Bristol, she is a nice person and at times, I wondered what she saw in Jaxon.
This story is told from both of their points of view, which I like because I can understand the motivation of both of the characters. Jaxon and Bristol are two people who try to find love and happiness together, although Jason’s lies and other people try to keep them apart. The only problem I had with this story was connecting to Jaxon. I didn’t like his attitude and his behavior, although I did admire him for trying to change. This is a fun and entertaining story and if you like sports romances, you will enjoy this one. I can’t wait to read more books in this series about the guys on the Carolina Cougars football team.
