What
started out as a joke— seduce Coach Wilder—soon became a goal she had to score.
With Olympic tryouts on the horizon, the last thing nineteen-year-old Kinsley Bryant needs to add to her plate is Liam Wilder. He's a professional soccer player, America's favorite bad-boy, and has all the qualities of a skilled panty-dropper.
• A face that makes girls weep – check.
• Abs that can shred Parmesan cheese (the expensive kind) – check.
• Enough confidence to shift the earth’s gravitational pull – double check.
Not to mention Liam is strictly off limits . Forbidden. Her coaches have made that perfectly clear. (i.e. “Score with Coach Wilder anywhere other than the field and you’ll be cut from the team faster than you can count his tattoos.”) But that just makes him all the more enticing…Besides, Kinsley's already counted the visible ones, and she is not one to leave a project unfinished.
Kinsley tries to play the game her way as they navigate through forbidden territory, but Liam is determined to teach her a whole new definition for the term “team bonding.”
A fun & sexy New Adult Romance (age 17+)

But just before she stepped inside, I heard the same sexy voice
that I’d heard the previous night— the voice that said, I'm sexy and I
know it.
"Morning ladies."
Every single girl froze and we turned in unison. Liam Wilder was
standing a few feet away wearing workout gear and a friendly smile. Of course
his friendly smile could easily be misconstrued for a take-your-panties-off
smile, so it's a wonder we all managed to mutter shocked hellos. I guess he'd
pulled up in the parking lot a few minutes after we did. I peered behind him
and saw a black Mercedes SUV parked in the spot closest to the field house. A
photographer was snapping pictures on the other side of the fence. Jeez, they
wake up this early to get pictures of him?
"Oh, hi Liam." Tara smiled wide.
I shot Becca a gag-me face.
"You guys should probably call me Coach Wilder while we're
at practice," he admonished. I had to fight to keep from cracking up. The
shocked look on Tara's face was absolutely priceless, but it still wasn't
enough to make me forget the awkwardness of the situation.
I couldn't look up at him. The last time we'd spoken, I'd
literally asked him to show me his tattoos, which we both knew really meant I
wanted him to show me his soccer balls. Hah. I'd have to tell Becca
that one later. I tugged her and Emily forward without acknowledging Liam and
headed for the conference room. Thankfully, Coach Davis was there already and
Liam didn't follow us in.
My Review: 4 1/2 stars
This was a fantastic read. I loved all the humor and the easy banter that Liam and Kinsley had. I loved the way that the relationship between Kinsley and Liam progressed naturally and that they developed feelings for each other and fought to keep their relationship. In my opinion, it's not necessarily a "wrong" or "forbidden" relationship, it's kind of like an office romance. Things can go wrong and they can go extremely right, but you've got to be professional while at the office. So long as the job is done correctly, I've got no issues. I thought that Kinsley was a bad ass chick. She had great friendships, a super work ethic, and she maintained herself very well on the field and off. Liam was freaking walking sex. The charisma he had should be counted as lethal, luckily Kinsley got the best of that too. Their chemistry was off the charts and they were so good together. I loved the entire book from start to finish. The characters were great, the writing was well done and the story line kept me glued to the pages.
I am a lover of books, chocolate, good TV, metaphors and similes, black labs, and cold weather. Seriously, if I had it my way I would be curled up on the couch with all of those things... everyday.
I live in Texas where I spend my free time writing and reading. My favorite authors are Mindy Kaling & Jonathan Safran Foer. I'm a comedy geek and love all things "funny". Women like Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Mindy Kaling are definitely the biggest inspirations for my writing, though I think my work tends to skew a bit smuttier than theirs.
