The last thing event planner Tara Lincoln needs is the jet-set lifestyle of a football pro like Mick Riley, even though their steamy and passionate one-night stand proved that Mick is an all-star - both on the field and in the bedroom.
Tara played the game of love once and lost big, and she doesn't intend to put herself out there again, especially with a certified heartbreaker. But when Mick sets his mind to win, nothing will stop him. And he has the perfect play in mind to catch this sultry vixen.

"In the hands of the talented Burton, the characters leap off the page and the romance sparkles as the sex sizzles." (Romantic Times)
I've always been a avid reader so now I'm a avid listener. I prefer the paranormal genre but I do like to switch things up. It's boring if you don't have variety. Of course I do love the romance and the hotter the better. Also, you can't beat a good thriller filled with suspense and a ending you can't even guess at until the very end.
"TOUCHDOWN!!!"
Everything!!! I'm a girl who loves football, a great story and a hot, sizzling romance. This has it all.
You won't be disappointed. It's well worth your credit or purchase price. Caution explict sexual content.
Tell us about yourself!
"Would you like a little story with that sex!"
Sex. Sex. A pretty ok story. Sex. And did I say sex? But hey, why not?
Say something about yourself!
"I think this is most women's fantasy!!"
Um... YES!! I listened in almost one sitting!! I had to turn it off because I couldn't stay awake anymore :) I didn't want to miss anything!
Being a mother myself, I can put myself in Tarah's shoes. Her son means everything to her and she wars with herself about being completely devoted to him or to allow herself happiness for the first time in her life.
Lucy told an amazing story! You know who she is at every point, there is no confusion about who is speaking. I just got lost in the story, not in trying to figure what she was doing right or wrong.
It did make me a little teary at several points.
"Super Sexy Story"
Yes I would. It has good story and super steamy!
I love contemporary book series. This is my first book by Jaci and I will defiantly listen to the next in the series.
Mick picks up Tara son from the party after he is smashed and is truthful about his addiction issues.
I was moved by Tara's fierce concern for her son and how she did not want her son to be used by Mick or the team. I also liked how she was accepted by Mick's family.
Wife to sometimes neglected husband (due to listening to audiobooks) and mother to adult children. I am a relatively recent avid reader/listener, only really starting to read for pleasure a few years ago but now am thoroughly addicted.
"I had higher expectations."
This was an okay listen, but I had higher expectations given the reviews of the book itself. I don't know why but the female main character bothered me a lot. I understand the psychology of her actions and behaviors but it was almost more than I could handle. I will not be purchasing any more of this series.
"Touch Down"
Yes, I would. It was a really good book.
That Mick was not perfect. That he had issues and was able to deal with them and rise above them.
No, This was my first book read by her.
Love on the 50 yard line.
Nice book with lots of passionate love scenes. Over all I thought it was very good. The narrator was good but not the best I have hear. Tavia Gilbert has spoiled me for all other female narrators.
I love books and love to get lost in the fantasy. I'm always looking for a new good story to bury myself in. :)
"Great story!"
This was a great book. It's a great start to the series. It really made me want to see what happens to other characters in their books.
Tara is a single mother of a 14 yr old son. She's very protective and tends to push guys away to concentrate on her son and her business doing event planning. During an event she put together for the football team she meets Mick. They hit it off and she spends the night with him but then she tries to run off the next morning. Mick wasn't satisfied letting things stop there and searches her out.
Mick is just awesome...he's made some mistakes in the past but is a great guy. He's never been in a real relationship but when he meets Tara he can't not see her again. He has to get past some stiff resistance from Tara to get trusted enough to meet her son and be in her life but he did his best to be a good part of their lives and a good influence on her son, Nathan.
To be perfectly honest I wanted to give this book 5 stars but Tara but a bit too afraid for me to feel comfortable going 5 stars. She jumps to the wrong conclusion and pushes Mick away on multiple occasions and overall it's because she's scared. I understand that but she hurt herself, Mick and her son in the mean time while she was being scared and miserable. On the good side, after her son has a serious talk with her, she does come to her senses and does apologize to Mick.
This was a great book. It made me want to run right out and read the next book immediately. The only reason I haven't bought it yet is that it's about Liz and Gavin and Liz was a total b*tch in this bookso I almost hate to read her story because then I might regret Gavin getting with her or, worse yet, I might ends up liking her... But I think the draw it too great and I'll be breaking down and buy it anyways because I'm sure Jaci will do a good job with it. I saw the next book is available for pre-order on Audible...I hear the pre-order button calling me...
The Perfect Play was just great and I enjoyed it a lot. I will be reading it (listening to it) again and would recommend it. :D
"Keep your head in the Game"
Hot, hard, sexy
these are considered more erotica than a core romance, must like hot love stories
not the best reading voice. The dialogue has carried the author work
good entertainment
"Ok Story"
To bad, cute story but sex scenes to slimy for my taste. Hate a book that I have to keep skipping chapters. Quit listening to it and will not be buying anymore by this author. If you like this kind of writing? Well fine what ever float's your boat. Just not my cup of tea by any means. And I will stick with more classy talented authors !!
