A sexy new forbidden romance from #1 NYT Bestselling Author Lauren Blakely...
It should have been a simple play…
She needed a football player to step up and be the star for a charity calendar. I needed a sharp and savvy publicist to manage a brand-new sponsorship deal. I scratched her back. She scratched mine. And oh hell, did Jillian ever drag her nails down my back on one hell of a hot night. Okay fine, it was several hot nights on the road.
Now we’re back in town and it’s time to set the play clock back to when we were simply player and publicist. Given the way the last few years have gone, I can’t risk this deal, so it's hands off for us once again. Trouble is, I want more than than just another night with her.
What’s a guy to do when he's always been most likely to score, but the woman he’s falling for is just out of bounds?
I don't date players.
And I definitely don't sleep with players.
And I absolutely don't fall for a certain player when I get to know him and learn he's more than just sexy -- he's clever, funny and has a heart as big as his . .. well, you get my drift.
And I definitely don't sleep with players.
And I absolutely don't fall for a certain player when I get to know him and learn he's more than just sexy -- he's clever, funny and has a heart as big as his . .. well, you get my drift.
But my job is at stake, and I can't afford to lose that as well as my heart. The problem is, I think I've already lost that game.
What's a girl to do when the clock is running out, but the man she's falling for is off limits?
MOST LIKELY TO SCORE is a brand new standalone sports romance written in dual POV!

Spoiler Free
It had all the trappings of a fun, flirty read Blakely is known for... all the Delicious, Sexual Double Entendres right from the start creating just the right mood to settle in and allow the characters to show who they are and what was in store.
We have the Football Player known for his Big Hands...and trying to rehab his image after having a bad run of luck with publicity and a thieving manager. This is matched with a sharp and savvy woman who is the team's PR person.
Both have interest in each other but haven't acted on it.
Jillian Moore has good reason...
He is a player on her team...
And seems to be a player off the field too...
Also he goes for Blond, Busty and Model...
She is nothing like that...
Jones Beckett has been trying to catch Jillian's attention from the start...
He has been captivated by this smart, quick witted woman with a smile he wishes was just for him. As much as he tries to make her professional facade crack with dropped towels or discussion of how big his hands are... she keeps her eyes directly up to his and never wanders...
Jones has changed over time. His manager's theft was a huge wake up call. Jones was smeared by the same tainted brush making people forget he was victimized by this guy, too. Instead, Jones has been keeping away from all of the usual situations a football player is presented...Times that can be caught on a photo to be plastered all over social media...
A opportunity presents itself to Jones through his new agent. He has an up and coming organic pet food interested in him and his pooch. Jones has a rescue pup he has taught to do obstacle courses and is a big presence on Jones' Instagram and other social media. Jones agrees to have Cletus try the food and if it is a go, negotiations will happen.
Jillian is on the fast track with her career. She is the product of a loving family. An Asian child adopted and raised to embrace who she is. Having two parents who gave her the security to be strong, focused and feel loved. Her mother relished her own career and taught Jillian to find satisfaction in a job well done... to find self worth on her own not through others.
Jillian has but at the same time has the same insecurities one can have when a boyfriend cheats... when he thinks what he has done is just the way of the world and they should still be "friends". It doesn't help she has to deal with him through her work. She thinks it is her lousy judgement of men which causes Jillian to feel there could never be anything with Jones...Plus there is the complication of their being part of the same organization.
Things become interesting is when this couple is chosen to work together on a Calendar and Jillian is to do the publicity for the pet company. It is through all of this time together, Jillian's assumptions of Jones start to slip away. She see the man for who he truly is... a product of his parents and siblings.
He is one of the good guys. Respectful, Caring and He Listens... No, actually he hears what she is saying...
Jones is so taken with Jillian, he doesn't know what to do... But he knows not to push or force anything. These two learn about each other over the calendar shoot and what they both feel rings true...They both know they are playing with fire... but this match is getting to hard not to strike...
And in True Lauren Blakely Form, the fire that burns between these two could have been the trigger to all the recent flames ... Blakely comes up with fantasies so hot you will need a back up Kindle because the one you are using risks shorting out!
And here was the kicker for me with this read. I had gone into this thinking it would be a lovely little joyride and that would be fun a 4/4.5....But as this tale went on with all the details and insight to these people...I was so taken with the depth of feeling I was having... Here I was thinking about how fame can be so complicated and how a random moment could kill a career... or how with all of the perks of being a sports figure it can all end in a heartbeat on the field.
I caught myself thinking about how difficult it is for women to be able to do the jobs they love, especially in such a male driven industry. I was also taken down the road of family bonds and how these two characters were blessed with the support of parents who were there for them and understood who exactly who they were... and loved them unconditionally.
And the best about this book was all of these details flowed naturally in the story... they just happened and to me, never felt forced... and that happens to highlight exactly the talent Blakely has...She can take a story that has basic elements and make them special before you realize what she has done. Her books have everything we all want; sexy men, strong women and a story to take us out of our everyday lives...But She Does Much More...She gives us heart and hope and that is so very special.
This new group of Football books hopefully will have another one coming... I would lay odds on it...Think Harlen and Katie, Hint hint.

Hands down, my favorite thing in the world is to score. Touchdowns.
Don't let the fact that I'm the leading pick in the MOST LIKELY TO SCORE charity auction fool you. These days, I'm only a player on the field. I've kept my pants zipped all season long -- and it has been long -- because nothing's more important than leading my team to victory every week. Except maybe escaping from the team owner's recently-widowed and handsy-as-hell sister who's dead set on winning more than a date with me.
Enter Violet and a well-placed Hail Mary.
She's my best friend's sister with a smile as sweet as cherry pie and a mind that runs quicker than the 40-yard-dash. After Violet saves the day with the highest bid, I don't even give her a two-minute warning before I kiss her in front of the whole crowd and then announce that she's my girlfriend. Which would be fine except my agent tells me we have to keep up the act while he's negotiating my contract.
Violet takes one for the team and pretends to be mine, but our boyfriend-girlfriend scrimmage quickly turns into a full contact sport, and I want it to go into overtime. The problem is -- I've been riding the bench for years.
