Book Review: Most Likely to Score by 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?

I get so excited when a Lauren Blakely book hits my e-reader. She's one of my go-to-author's when I crave a swoony romance. Most Likely to Score is a swoony, heartfelt, albeit funny romance that tackles the issue of workplace relationships. 

Jones Beckett (the man with some very big hands) is kicking his playboy status to the side.  He's cleaning up his act to focus football and business only. That was the plan until Jillian Moore was recruited to help him with his image. 

Jillian is very focused on her career. She's very close to promoting to VP of publicity for the San Francisco Renegades. She keeps business and romance separate until a work trip lands her in bed with the object of her dirty dreams, Jones Beckett. 

Jones and Jillian leave their heated relationship behind when they return home and get back to work. If only it was that easy. They are determined to stay focused on work but a heart knows what a heart wants.

I love Jones and all his fears and superstitions. He wants to provide for his family, he fears losing everything. Jones struggles finding his own happiness because of his fears. I love the conflict! As always the resolution has me cheering and in this case also laughing. 5 #luck #goodfortune and #love stars.
