Jill Colby has crashed and burned. Her marriage? Over. Her confidence? Shot. Even her little sister pities her! So much for being perfect. Then she meets newly divorced football hunk Jayce Spurling and discovers that being imperfect is a lot more fun. And it’s just one night, isn’t it?
Jayce never saw his divorce coming and he’s determined to win back his family for the sake of his children. If ever four boys needed a live-in dad, it’s that bunch. His ex-wife tells him to move on, but he’s sure he can make things right. Still, when gorgeous Jill Colby suggests a one-night stand, he can’t resist. She doesn’t want anything serious, plus she lives on the other side of the country. And it’s just one night, isn’t it?
His family—especially QB Johnny—would go nuts if they heard he was deviating from the game plan: get his wife and kids back. But Jill needs to keep this from her family, too. So there’s no danger of it getting out.
And it’s just one night. Isn’t it?
Praise for Play Date:
“Sean and Tess’s story pulled me in right from the start and had me flying through the pages in search of what I hoped to be a very steamy happily ever after . . . and I am happy to report I found that . . . and so much more!!” —Reds Romance ReviewsAbout the Author:

Cocktails and Books received this book for free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect our opinion of the book or the content of our review.
What a treat this story was. It is filled with sexual tension, an engaging storyline and unforgettable characters. I not only enjoyed the two main characters, but there are also fun and entertaining secondary characters as well. They are all close friends and help each other whenever needed. They are also opinionated and have comments about everything. I have read and enjoyed all the books in this series. Each book is a standalone but all the characters are interconnected.
Jill Colby and Jayce Spurling get together for a one night stand. They are both just coming out of difficult divorces and neither one of them is looking for anything permanent. However, once they are together, they can’t seem to stay away from each other. I really liked Jayce and Jill. They are both feeling insecure after their divorces and they help each other feel better about themselves.
Jayce is a well known professional football player and an all around nice guy. When he meets Jill, he finally finds someone who likes everything about him and has no interest in changing him.
Jill is a loving and compassionate person and perfect for Jayce. She is an attorney and has always done the right thing, until she meets Jayce. He brings out the bad girl in her. Jill has never met anyone like Jayce and he makes her feel things she never knew she could feel. I was pulling for Jayce and Jill and I wanted everything to work out between them. They are always thinking about everyone else but themselves. In their past relationships they were never appreciated. They are great together but people and circumstances keep pulling them apart. I enjoyed this heartfelt story.
