Title: Tackled
Author: Sabrina Paige
Plot in a snap:
Colton, the hottest tight end, has a problem. He's in danger of being kept off the team because he's not meeting grade requirements. That problem is to be solved with a tutor working with him over summer.
Cassie, a graduate student on the same university campus, can't stand jocks. Particularly not the arrogant, seemingly sex-crazed legend that is Colton King. Yet there's just something about him that makes her wanna break the rules. Yes, the same uptight goody-two-shoes who's not supposed to fraternize with her student.
Through various trials and tribulations, Cassie and Colton get together and try to figure if the brains-and-brawn combo do work.
What works:
Humour, which one might think is easy peasy for sports romances but is surprisingly absent from most, is in abundance here. It's nice that steam and cracks can coexist!
What didn't quite work:
The cause of contention - why would Colton get all huffy over the project/thesis? And how does he not get noticed by Cassie at the party before misunderstandings can develop.
What I look forward to:
A separate novella for Tank and Sable. Aww, c'mon, the dirty roommates need their own story!
Overall: A fun and steamy read!
