People
say not to believe the things you read in magazines, but you know what? Most
things you’ve heard about me are probably true.
I
totally banged the reporter in the locker room after the championship game last
year.
Those
pictures in Expose from last summer? Those were not modified.
I’m also
not really six-foot tall. (But let’s keep that between us.)
Now, I
know you’re wondering about that last Expose headline—the one about me and my
teammate (and ex-best friend) Finn Miller’s sister, Layla James. That one is a
little more complicated.
Here’s
the thing: I’ve played football my whole life. If there’s one thing I know,
it’s how to adjust when the game changes. And if there’s one thing I always do,
it’s find a way to win.
Granted,
the stakes are higher. The playbook has changed. There’s more on the line than
(another) MVP title. But guess what hasn’t changed? Me. I’m still Branch
“Lucky” Best and I’m not about to fumble this one.
Grab a
seat and a subscription to Expose. I’m about to make some headlines. (Again.)
A sexy,
swoon-filled standalone novel.
Excerpt
“One question,” Poppy interjects, looking at
Branch. “What position are you?”
“I typically like the bottom so I can
watch—oomph,” he says, getting another elbow from Finn. “Wide receiver. Why?”
Looking at Poppy, I can’t help but laugh as her
eyes light up.
“You got a problem with wide receivers?” Branch
asks.
“You do,” Finn interjects, giving me a narrowed
glare. “They aren’t any better than quarterbacks.”
Branch looks from me, to Finn, and back to me.
“Why do we not like quarterbacks?”
“My sister was dating Callum Worthington.”
“No shit?” His face puckers like he just bit
into a lemon. “How in the hell did that cocksucker end up with you?”
“He didn’t. We’re not together anymore.”
Branch’s eyes heat, the look causing my pulse
to quicken. “I’m not a bit sorry to hear that.”
“You better forget you heard any of that,” Finn
warns. “This is my sister, Branch. Not a cheerleader or reporter or some chick
from a dating app. Got it?”
“Finn, relax,” I say, shoving a swallow past
the lump in my throat. “I appreciate the big brother spiel, but I can handle
myself.”
“I know you can,” he says, pulling his gaze
away from Branch. “But you can’t handle him.”
Adriana Locke has once again given us another 5 star read and I think if I had to describe this book in one word it would be " Touchdown" , this author certainly knows how to write a brilliant story about football men and this book captivated me, I was hooked from the first page.
Branch Best is a typical football jock, he is not looking for relationships, he just wants to have fun, he has seen too many of his team mates taken for a ride by unscrupulous women, well that was his thinking until he met Layla, the problem is she should be off limits because everyone knows you don't cross the line with a best friends sister....
Layla James is a sassy, larger than life blogger is a girl who can give Branch a run for his money, taking no nonsense from the Playboy player, she is well aware of relationships with professional sportsmen after all her ex is on a holiday she planned with another woman.
Instant attraction, sizzling chemistry ,a lot of laughs and a few heartbreak moments, this book has it all but what I really enjoyed was seeing Layla and Branch's relationship grow as the story unfolded. I can't leave a review without mentioning the secondary characters of Finn and Poppy and I really hope this author gives them their own story as I'm sure there is a lot to tell.
If you love sports romance with some laugh out loud moments do yourself a favour and grab a copy of Lucky Number Eleven you won't be disappointed.
