Story
Daniel Esera is a young god on the rugby field, a sexy and charming man who's got the world at his feet. There's just one problem: his sudden potent attraction to his number one nemesis—Catie River. No. Just no. Not happening. Catie River is on her way to Paralympic gold, and she's not about to allow Danny "Hotshot" Esera to derail her plans. Too bad her body isn't cooperating. Even worse? Her heart might be coming along for the ride. No. Nope. Never. The pair are united in their desire to remain enemies . . . until a stranger's reckless action threatens both their careers.

Story
Two years after his wife’s death, rock star Garrett Hayes hasn’t moved on. But he has moved out of L.A. Where better to escape his past than a small town in the northern California mountains? If only he could get the townsfolk of Wildwood to leave him the hell alone. Ani Bennet returned to her hometown for some much-needed serenity. The last thing she needs is a grumpy, too hot for his own good, rich and famous rock star living next door—and rent-free in her brain. She set her fangirl tendencies aside when they became neighbors. But when Garrett asks for help, she can’t say no.

Promised to the power-hungry god Mortdh, the young Annani is determined to find a way out of the prearranged political union that would one day put Mortdh on the throne. Even though Khiann is the son of a merchant and not a member of the leading circle, the handsome young god is a much more appealing choice. Now all she has to do is convince him that she is worth chancing an all-out civil war over succession and, possibly, his very life.

The last person on earth I want to be stranded with is Gianni Lupo. But, thanks to the blizzard of the century, I’m trapped in a roadside motel room with that cocky bastard for two straight days, and with one small bed. Some women might thank Mother Nature for delivering a polar vortex that maroons them with six feet of solid muscle, those deep blue eyes, that sexy grin - but not me. I’ve known Gianni Lupo all my life, and he’s never brought me anything but bad luck, and trouble. I should have known what the disastrous end result would be.

Publisher's Summary
New York Times best-selling author Nalini Singh brings you the next sizzling story in her Hard Play contemporary romance series.
Jacob Esera, star rugby player and young single father, has worked hard to create a joyous life for his 6-year-old daughter. After the death of his childhood sweetheart soon after their daughter's birth, all Jake wants is safety and stability. No risks. No wild chances. And especially no Juliet Nelisi, former classmate, scandal magnet, and a woman who is a thorn in his side.
As a lonely teenager, Juliet embraced her bad-girl reputation as a shield against rejection. Years later, having kicked a cheating sports-star ex to the curb, she has a prestigious job and loyal friends - and wants nothing to do with sportsmen. The last thing she expects is the fire that ignites between her and the stuffed-shirt golden boy who once loved her best friend.
Straitlaced Jacob Esera versus wild-at-heart Juliet Nelisi? Place your bets.
Contains mature themes.

So very satisfying
This can definitely be read as a stand-alone but it’s oh so much richer if you’ve read the Rock Kiss series and the first two books in this series;-))
A big highlight is, of course, Charlotte and Gabriel’s wedding and cameos by Molly and Fox, Nayna and Raj, and the savvy publicist Thea Arsana.
Ms Singh has done such a great job of writing Jake’s story of how he came to be a young single parent, the incredible support of his family, and the surprise of finding love where he least expected it - with a woman who once was his girlfriend’s best friend and has come back into his life as a friend of Charlotte.
I’ve enjoyed Keef’s narration of Singh’s books, but voicing all the characters here might have stretched her a bit thin.

Tooth-rotting fluff...in the best way!
I’m a big fan of the Rock Kiss and Hard Play series and it was wonderful to catch up with old friends. Charlotte and Gabriel’s wedding was adorable, and I loved Juliet for Jake and Esme! ❤️
Don’t worry: there’s plenty of steaminess to go along with the fluff.

Pure Fun
Once again, a pure joy to get swept up in this Rugby family. Love the way Nalini puts strong minded females with these beautiful , athletic, smart, fun loving men. This story did not disappoint. Jacob and Juliette (Jules) are a beautiful match, and from the beginning you are rooting them along to that solid happy ever after.
My favorite moments in this story, is at the beginning at Gabriel & Charlotte's wedding, especially during the reception and the main dance reveal. Ther other moment that was a hoot , was in New York during photo shoot when Juliette kindly but direct put Ad Exec in her place. Nice!😉 Don't want to give nothing away for those who haven't read book yet.
Now can't wait for Danny's story. Although, I don't think I can wait another year for it....

Horrible NZ accents
I loved the story but the truly awful attempts at Kiwi accents spoilt the performance completely. A neutral American accent wouldn't have had as much local flavour but it wouldn't have grated like the fake accents did.

Touches the heart
This sweet story of finding love after loss touches the heart in numerous small ways. Nalini has a remarkable ability to make her characters real and to show both the good and bad sides of human life.
