Summary

It started out like any other Tuesday。

I spent twelve hours writing algorithms for one of the largest companies in the world and then came home to work on a pet project of mine—feeding facts about the men I knew into a formula to find my perfect match before my twenties came barreling to a close。

But then a man knocked on my door and handed me some papers that turned my life upside down。

Apparently, a father I never knew existed had left me something in his will。 That something turned out to be part ownership in a professional football team

Next thing I knew, I was learning a sport I knew nothing about by spending time with the team’s quarterback who was out with an injury, a man who my formula would definitely determine was all wrong for me。

Christian Knox was too handsome and confident for his own good and could have any woman he wanted。 Only lately the only woman he seemed to want was me

But there was no way I was getting involved when I was now his boss, even if he was insanely gorgeous and had the dirtiest mouth I’d ever come across。

It would be wrong, wouldn’t it?

Probably。 But you know what they say about things that are wrong。。。sometimes they feel so right。

Keeland does it again… I swear now every novel I read from her … I’m always looking for the flip!!!! I loved Bella and Knox … who doesn’t love a gentle giant… another great read!

Vi Keeland slayed again! 💛

Wow。 1 whole month LOL。 Anyways, this is a very cute book and I loved both Christian and Bella’s personalities。

There’s a reason I don’t like mf books very much and this one definitely reminded me often of this fact。 Don’t get me wrong, I thought the sexual tension was a good sizzle, but I just inevitably found the fmc annoying。 Thankfully she had a backbone throughout, I just couldn’t really get into the attraction of her。 Again, the plot was good enough to keep me invested。 I also really liked the mystery dynamic, and the tech discussions。 I felt the male MC was suitably in love, and understandably torn There’s a reason I don’t like mf books very much and this one definitely reminded me often of this fact。 Don’t get me wrong, I thought the sexual tension was a good sizzle, but I just inevitably found the fmc annoying。 Thankfully she had a backbone throughout, I just couldn’t really get into the attraction of her。 Again, the plot was good enough to keep me invested。 I also really liked the mystery dynamic, and the tech discussions。 I felt the male MC was suitably in love, and understandably torn on what he knew regarding the accident。 Overall, not a terrible read and it was entertaining if anything!

I enjoyed this book about Christian and Bella。 Bella recently found out who her father was when she got a letter from a lawyer。 Her father was a billionaire that owned a football franchise。 He left it to her。 Christain is the Quarterback of the team she inherited。 Christain has found that he has a thing for the new owner, and he knows her grandfather well。 While visiting with her grandfather he gets to know Bella a little and when she thinks he's the pizza delivery guy he can't help but tease he I enjoyed this book about Christian and Bella。 Bella recently found out who her father was when she got a letter from a lawyer。 Her father was a billionaire that owned a football franchise。 He left it to her。 Christain is the Quarterback of the team she inherited。 Christain has found that he has a thing for the new owner, and he knows her grandfather well。 While visiting with her grandfather he gets to know Bella a little and when she thinks he's the pizza delivery guy he can't help but tease her。 。。。more

Another good one by Ms Keeland。Bella is living her best life as best she can and it's suddenly taken a major turn when she inherits a football team from a man she never knew。 Now she has to learn the in and outs of the business she has no interest in watch out for her two evil step sisters who would like nothing better than seeing her fail。Christian Knox is the team's hot shot QB and has his eyes on Bella and it's so good how he pursue her。 I love how Ms Keeland writes her heros -they are alpha Another good one by Ms Keeland。Bella is living her best life as best she can and it's suddenly taken a major turn when she inherits a football team from a man she never knew。 Now she has to learn the in and outs of the business she has no interest in watch out for her two evil step sisters who would like nothing better than seeing her fail。Christian Knox is the team's hot shot QB and has his eyes on Bella and it's so good how he pursue her。 I love how Ms Keeland writes her heros -they are alpha but not too crazy or over the top with a heart of gold underneath。 Christian is a good example of all that 。。。more

JoAnna

Meh, cute enough but yet another book where the perfect MMC (hot NFL qb) is absolutely head over heels for the nerdy FMC for seemingly no reason, despite her frequently turning him down。

Emily

It was fine, but the second half was way too long and boring

Nicole

。mmmm siento que he leído mejores, este me costó demasiado, todo pasó muy rápido, todo fue muy forzado。。。 No estuvo malo pero tampoco bueno

Mary Wells

Wow!I LOVED this one。 Hot quarterback/pizza delivery guy Christian and brilliant nerdy new team owner Bella make for one of the best stories I’ve read this year。 Two great characters & Vi Keeland’s signature writing style are a winning combination!

Lorretta

I really enjoyed this book by the end but at times did find it abit on the slow side。 The characters were interesting at times but I also felt that the story lacked abit of excitement。 All in all a solid 3 star read for me。

I recently read a fantasy book were the grimm reaper was the main character, he mentions that the souls destined for the basement always have to be ripped out of their bodies by force and dragged down screaming and begging, i know that's fantasy, but I seriously hope that is true for people like him!(view spoiler)[ There was another thing that bothered me a bit, at the beginning of the book she said she had prosopagnosia, later that it's just forgotten, a few times she said that she saw and/or recognized someone face, which she shouldn't be able to do at all, so I think maybe Vi though it was a characteristic for her to have, an extra reason for he to be a badass (as if she needed more) and later on she just forgot what that entails so it got overlooked!

What a story!This author is always brilliant but this one takes the cake。 Christian and Bella were made for one another。 You could feel his love for her from the beginning。 My heart broke for her but Christian and grandpa soothed some of the ache。 This was an amazing book。

Christian is the knight in shining armor we all need in life I couldn’t drop the book。 It’s a perfect Valentine’s book full of love and hope。。。 And good sex。 I hope we all find our Christian。

An enjoyable, sexy football romance with a little mystery thrown in。I did, however, find the names, Christian and Bella, a little distracting。。。

Bella has been raised alone by her mother until she died in a hit and run when Bella was still a teenager。 She has never met or known about her father, until 2 years ago when a lawyer rang her door to say she had inherited billions and a football team, and not a small one : THE football team, curtesy of her father。 For 2 years now Bella has faced the court against her 2 step sisters who hate the fact that a stranger inherited what was their legal right。On her first day at the office, she mistake Bella has been raised alone by her mother until she died in a hit and run when Bella was still a teenager。 She has never met or known about her father, until 2 years ago when a lawyer rang her door to say she had inherited billions and a football team, and not a small one : THE football team, curtesy of her father。 For 2 years now Bella has faced the court against her 2 step sisters who hate the fact that a stranger inherited what was their legal right。On her first day at the office, she mistakes the star athlete of the team for a pizza delivery guy。 Christian is immediately attracted to Bella, his new boss who doesn’t even know who he is, and doesn’t hide it, but Bella even though she is attracted as well, is determined not to act on those feelings。 She has enough on her plate already。Now billionnaire, at the head of a team whose sport she does not know very much about, Bella is decided to show everyone she can do a good job of it, and most of all she wants to know about who her father was。 This stranger who never even came up to her even though she lost her mom as a teenager and had to manage by herself。 Did he know about her ? why has he never approached her ? Christian will help her in her quest。I usually am a fan of Vi Keeland’s work but this time it didn’t really do it for me。 Maybe because of the setting, since I don’t know a single thing about american football, or maybe the turn the story took that I didn’t expect。 It was a nice story but I didn’t fall in love with it。 。。。more
