Summary
Quarterback Holden Moore can have any girl he wants。
Except me: the coach’s daughter。
With piercing green eyes， herculean biceps， and irresistible dimples， Holden is the number one target for every girl on campus。 But according to his teammates， football is the only love of his life。
He’s their leader， their QB1 and team captain who is all business and no play。
But when I’m with him？ Mr。 Serious isn’t serious at all。 He loves to push my buttons， to pin me with those sexy eyes of his and tease me until I bite back。
I remind him I’m off limits。
He can’t have me， and I don’t want him — or anyone else， for that matter。
I’m here for one reason: to show my father I'm more than his greatest disappointment。
But when an old injury flares up and I’m forced to work with Holden every day as his athletic trainer， his attempts to get under my skin start becoming harder to resist。
We can’t give in， no matter how much the air crackles between us when we’re close。
I’m the coach’s daughter， and if Holden Moore wants to go pro， he’s got to play by daddy’s rules。
Otherwise， he’ll be off the team。
And he’s not the only one with something to lose。

OMG Holden stole my heart in the previous books but now to learn his story， why he is so resilient and single focused on football and making something of himself I loved him even more！！ Julep is also a phenomenal character with layers you will be rooting for。 Kandi as a way of giving you the right spice with some tears。 I also loved that is story didn’t have a big fight or drama to brake them。 It just makes you love Holden more with how he didn’t force what he couldn’t control。 I can’t wait for OMG Holden stole my heart in the previous books but now to learn his story， why he is so resilient and single focused on football and making something of himself I loved him even more！！ Julep is also a phenomenal character with layers you will be rooting for。 Kandi as a way of giving you the right spice with some tears。 I also loved that is story didn’t have a big fight or drama to brake them。 It just makes you love Holden more with how he didn’t force what he couldn’t control。 I can’t wait for you all to get your hands on this story！ 。。。more

Sexy quarterback and coach’s daughter。 。 Off limits to each other but so hard to resist。 What starts as fun becomes exactly what both are need。 Only problem is Coach Lee and what he controls。 Loved Holden and Julep。 Fun character， good story。 I couldn’t put it down。

“He didn’t kiss me with the passion to take my clothes off， he kissed me with the desperation to save me。”“Sorry to disrupt your plans。” “Feel free to disrupt the rest of my life。”“And I will spend the rest of my life loving you。 No matter how long that is。 Every minute I am here on Earth is yours。 And after that， too。”Seeing a hot， buff quarterback cuddling a tiny baby girl was the recipe for more than just a few disasters。

I loved every single second of this book。 The dedication alone had me in a chokehold。 The bond and connection that these two shared was everything。 Both from taunted pasts， loss and trauma but turned out to be so perfectly fitting for each other。 Please check TWThe forbidden aspect that she was the coaches daughter and Holden the team captain made things that much trickier for them to be together but despite all odds they just fit。 Lots of emotions， steam and tenderness between these two。 I was I loved every single second of this book。 The dedication alone had me in a chokehold。 The bond and connection that these two shared was everything。 Both from taunted pasts， loss and trauma but turned out to be so perfectly fitting for each other。 Please check TWThe forbidden aspect that she was the coaches daughter and Holden the team captain made things that much trickier for them to be together but despite all odds they just fit。 Lots of emotions， steam and tenderness between these two。 I was squealing， giggling and kicking up my feet reading their banter and deep conversations。Lots of sneaking around oh and did I mention they live next door to each other？ Julep is a pole dancer who likes to dance with her window open and almost naked？？ Holden is also a softy who GARDENS！！！ And double texts and checks in and cracks jokes and asks questions！ I fucking love that man okay LOVE。This is my favorite in the series so far and I’m so pleased with it， I wouldn’t change a thing。 。。。more

I love reading football romances in the fall， it fits perfectly with the season and well the sport season too。 If you’re looking for a college forbidden sport romance then you’ll love Holden and Julep’s story。 I loved Holden instantly and as I read I fell for Julep too。 I loved the torture of wanting but can’t cross that line to all the angst and love to the end of the last page。 I also really enjoyed how this book is connected to past books and we still see past and future characters from Fair I love reading football romances in the fall， it fits perfectly with the season and well the sport season too。 If you’re looking for a college forbidden sport romance then you’ll love Holden and Julep’s story。 I loved Holden instantly and as I read I fell for Julep too。 I loved the torture of wanting but can’t cross that line to all the angst and love to the end of the last page。 I also really enjoyed how this book is connected to past books and we still see past and future characters from Fair Catch and Blind Side。 It’s always fun and a great reading experience when you get that。 Now as much as I loved this book Im going down to 4 starts basically because I wanted more angst。 I read it understood it was there I just didn’t always feel it。 Now this could just be me and my mood but I’m trying to be honest with my reviews so there you have it。Quarterback Sneak was a great weekend read and I recommend it to any football romance reader。 。。。more
