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.
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!

I Heart Books Review 

Most Likely to Score by Lauren Blakely
Review by Theresa Esterline 
Stars: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 

Be charitable... it will bring you good luck ;)

Second standalone about the San Francisco Renegades. A little football, a lot of shirtless or naked football players, and the most cute pets you've seen. Our two lovebirds want each other, but lack of honest communication makes them each assume the other would never want them. However when a charity assignment pushes them together the flood gates open. And now a bit about the story...

Jones and Jillian have worked together for a few years now. As team publicist, Jillian spends a lot of time with and near the team. Jones is a player, but his last agent robbed him blind. He needs to clean up his act, get some sponsorships, and stay healthy to recreate his nest egg. When his new agent has Jillian help with his image, she has great ideas. However it means alone time with Jones. As she continues her mantra of 'eyes up', she hopes this new assignment doesn't break her heart and end her career.

Favorite passages:
- Dear Lord, he’s naked right now. One hundred percent naked. Eyes up, eyes up, eyes up. “I’ll just grab my towel,” he says, and I breathe a massive sigh of relief.
- “Man-time does not equal woman-time.”

Note: I was given a free copy and voluntarily chose to review this book.

Excerpt

~JONES~
“Love it,” Christine says emphatically, her lips and that metal hoop in the bottom one the only parts of her face visible since the lens covers the rest. “How about a little tough-guy look now?”
Because tough guys hold footballs in front of their junk.
“This is my best badass pose,” I say, narrowing my eyes and staring at the camera like I’d stare at the secondary of the Miami Mavericks.
“Oh yes, more of that, right, Jillian?” Christine shouts to the other person here in the studio with us.
That person is Jillian, and she hasn’t looked my way since I strolled in here and dropped my drawers. Damn shame.
From her spot leaning against the far wall, the team publicist answers in a crisp, professional tone I know well. “Exactly. We love his tough-guy face.”
She doesn’t even look up from her phone.
I keep working it for Christine, doing my best to make sure my blue eyes will melt whoever is looking at the picture when the magazine hits newsstands and Internet browsers in another few weeks.
It’s an evergreen kind of issue, since the body edition is one of the most popular. Gee, I wonder why. I’ve no doubt this shot of me with a football for my skivvies will quickly surpass the previous most-searched-for image of yours truly—the game-winning catch I made in the end zone in the Super Bowl two years ago.
But, to be fair, there’s another shot of me that’s searched for maybe a tiny bit more. I like to pretend that shot doesn’t exist.
“The camera loves you,” Christine croons as the snap, snap, snap of the lens keeps the rhythm.
“The feeling is entirely mutual,” I say, pursing my lips in an over-the-top kiss.
Christine laughs. “You are my favorite ham in all of sports, Jones. That’ll be a perfect outtake for our website.”
“That’s a brilliant idea,” Jillian chimes in. “Make sure to send me a copy for social, please.”
“Absolutely,” Christine answers.
I sneak a peek at the dark-haired woman by the wall, that silky curtain of sleekness framing her face as she smiles a bright, buoyant, outgoing grin at the photographer then drops her head back down.
Damn.
Jillian Moore is one tough nut to crack.
I’m nearly naked in front of her, and she hasn’t once looked my way.
As the woman behind the lens shoots another photo with my favorite ball covering my favorite balls, Jillian doesn’t even spare another glance.
I’m going to need a whole new playbook to get this woman’s attention.

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.
How can a guy like me, who finally has a chance to prove his worth on the field, convince the girl she’s most valuable to his heart?
MOST VALUABLE PLAYBOY is a brand new standalone sports romance written in the guy’s POV!

I Heart Books Review 

Most Valuable Playboy by Lauren Blakely  
Review by Theresa Esterline 
Stars: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 

Go Long!!

Awesome story of the cutie avoiding the clingy women at work while being secretly (even from himself) in love with his best friends little sister. What makes this story even better? There is camaraderie, there is football, there are charitable characters, and even the bad guys aren't that bad. There is quite a bit of miscommunication, because when do we ever really say what we mean? I loved it and I can't wait for the next one! And now a bit about the story...

Cooper has been riding the bench for three years and now he has his big catch to lead the team to victory. Violet is his best friend Trent's little sister. She comes to his rescue - quite a bit actually - but as the two are forced together, Cooper realizes more and more how much Violet is no longer only Trent's little sister! Now if only he can keep his pledge, no sex until the season is over! 

Favorite passage: I tried Google Translate with womanspeak as the language, but it came out as gibberish.
