Story
Firefighter Jackson Donovan doesn't look back as a rule. So when his past comes roaring back to life in the form of not-so-damsel-in-distress Becks Benning, the last thing he wants to do is relive old times. No matter how tempting she makes it seem. Now thanks to his two interfering brothers, Becks is living with them while she looks for a new place and tries to pick up the pieces of her tattoo business that went up in flames. Which means a grown up, smokin' hot Becks is in his house, sharing meals, and digging up old wounds.

Jud Lawson found me stranded in the rain. Broken down on the side of the road in a deserted neighborhood with my piece-of-crap car. I wasn’t looking for a hero, and definitely not one who looks like him. An obscenely hot mountain of a man who screams danger. But I have little choice other than climbing onto the back of his bike.

What I meant to do in Vegas: Let my hair down for once and celebrate winning a medal at my first women’s hockey all-stars competition. What I actually did: Got senior prom drunk and woke up married to Brooklyn’s star winger, the great Neil Drake. He’s the heir to a billion dollars, and I barely survived my childhood. Our friendship is based strictly on hockey, takeout food, and smack talk. And now holy matrimony. We both know it can’t last - especially once his evil family gets wind of our Vegas shenanigans.

I was never supposed to see him again. Him being the man wearing the perfectly tailored suit, who oozed an intoxicating mixture of wealth, rebellion, and sex appeal. One night. No strings. No names. Still riding the high from last night, I walk in to meet my new client, and he’s wearing that same dangerous smirk. Yes, I’m consulting for Callahan Sharpe. That Callahan Sharpe. Billionaire heir who abides by no rules, bucks convention, and is determined to complete one final project to honor his late father’s legacy. Luckily, and unluckily for me, I’m tasked to help.

He's cold, hard, and undeniably arrogant. That's how Andrew Blake's best friends describe him. Bad luck for me that I'm his new assistant. Nothing I do is good enough. I'm beginning to wonder if there's a heart in that tall, hard, gorgeous body of his. After work, I'm complaining about him to my new best friend - the bartender at the pub, near the office. Guess who's seated behind me, and has heard every gripe, grumble and grievance? By the look in Andrew's eye, I can't tell if I'm going to get fired or kissed.

In Jude's mind, shagging the feisty American girl is exactly what he needs. He’s been fighting the clock of his long-standing football career and the younger players primed to take his position. Proving that he can feel like his old self again - something he's been trying to do with everyone in his life - should be easier after blowing off steam with Lia.

What's worse than having Rider Kingston, the star quarterback, give you the big brushoff because he doesn't want to get serious? You'd probably think living across the street from him where you get a firsthand view of his hookups, right? That's what I thought. Until someone drops off a baby with a note pinned to her blanket that says one of those jocks - either Rider or one of his roommates - is the father. The problem? Baby mama doesn't mention which of these numbskulls is the sperm donor. I wouldn't care about their paternity problems - except my brother lives there too.

Publisher's Summary
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.

A REAL WINNER!
I really enjoyed this audiobook. It's written in 3rd person and periodically switched from Mick and Tara's perspective. The sexual chemistry between Mick and Tara is pretty instant, and Mick moved into Tara's fantasy sphere right away. I mean of course he would fall within the fantasy category right away as a football star with drop-dead, good lucks and a charming personality. The issue is that Tara is a single mom, owns her own event coordinating business, and doesn't have time for a distraction as potent as Mick. Yet, when Mick pushes into her life, wanting more from her than a 1 night stand, well this book took on a rather fabulous turn.
In this book you get football, graphic, but sensitive sex scenes (I mean the sex scenes are thankfully NOT mechanical...they're pretty good), dirty talk during sex (boy, could these two talk dirty to one another!!!), and connecting with family along the way.
I really liked Mick. He was so patient with Tara and was understanding of her concerns. Tara was guarded, but with good reason. I thought her concerns were valid and she always looked after the well-being of her son first. Even though Mick and Tara don't hold back in the bedroom department, the question of whether their relationship can be long-term always hangs in the balance. The relationship was further tested by Liz, Mick's aggressive, lady agent. Now, regarding LIz, I had a problem with her. Right away I knew she was going to be the heroine in the next book simply by the way she was described as gorgeous, polished, having an incredible body, and overall described as a sex goddess each time she had a scene. OMG, it was nauseating...seriously. The descriptions for Liz were over-the-top!!! But, the problem is that Liz is a bitch and I'm really not interested in reading her story with Gavin, Mick's self-absorbed brother.
The main conflict in the book is resolved with some work on Mick's part. I thought Tara had good reason to be upset and to create distance. Yet, I have to say that even though their reunion was great, it was too rushed. All of a sudden, everything in their relationship came together, but way too squished in at the end. Maybe it's just that I'm a greedy reader, I wanted more Mick and Tara time when everything was perfect. If I read the second book, it will only be to get more of Mick and Tara, and tidbits of their HEA because unfortunately their romance did not feel complete.
The narrator, Lucy Malone performed well. Overall very good audiobook!

THE PERFECT PLAY
I've had this book in my library FOREVER, and I may have purchased it solely for that smoking hot cover! Great cover or not, the story was really good. Single successful business woman and mom, meets a hot stud muffin of a football star and, oh yeah, he's ready for love, has a great family, loves her child and is great in bed.... I couldn't ask for much more.
Relatively basic story line, but epic hot sex that makes your blood boil! Jaci Burton is definitely a five star writer in the hotness category, even with the narrator, who, to me, was just ok. I'm all in for the remainder of the books if they're half as good as this on. Highly recommended for erotic romance lovers!

Super Sexy Story
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes I would. It has good story and super steamy!
What did you like best about this story?
I love contemporary book series. This is my first book by Jaci and I will defiantly listen to the next in the series.
Which scene was your favorite?
Mick picks up Tara son from the party after he is smashed and is truthful about his addiction issues.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
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.

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.

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

Just what I needed
I really enjoyed this story. I enjoyed the characters and the relationship between all the characters. Tara's love and protective relationship regarding her son was realistic to me. The chemistry and sex between Tara and Mick were heart warming. I would re-read this book and recommend it to others.

Touch Down
Would you listen to The Perfect Play again? Why?
Yes, I would. It was a really good book.
What did you like best about this story?
That Mick was not perfect. That he had issues and was able to deal with them and rise above them.
Have you listened to any of Lucy Malone’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No, This was my first book read by her.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Love on the 50 yard line.
Any additional comments?
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.

Yummy!!!!
Nice amount of buildup, great chemistry, totally realistic, in short it was a good one! The steamy scenes were plentiful and full of steam, and the relationship didn't go from I met you to I love you in three days...which always agrivates me. These characters worked to get together and there were highs and lows and I can't wait to listen to book 2.
So...why wasn't it 5 stars? Well, it was nice and fluffy and a fun listen, but I am reserving 5 stars for books that are impossible to put down. This one sucked you in from the beginning but it wasn't all consuming. It was worth the credit!
