REVIEW: Bad Business

Bad Business A Bad Boys of Sports Novel  

By: Nicole Edwards
Release Date: March 27, 2018

Synopsis:

This player’s got a lot to learn if he wants to score . . . with the boss’s daughter.

Stone: Football is more than a game to me. It’s my calling. Becoming the Dallas Wranglers’ starting quarterback before I retire is a dream come true, but with a few wins under my belt, suddenly everyone wants a piece of me. And even though being in the spotlight has its perks—beautiful women, star treatment, more beautiful women—what really gets me sweating is the watchful gaze of my sexy-as-hell PR coach, Savannah Andrews. The catch? Her father is kind of my boss. . . .

Savannah: In my family, football is big business. When your dad owns an NFL franchise, you learn a thing or two about schmoozing, and from what I can tell, it’s not a skill in Jason Stone’s playbook. Sure, the veteran quarterback is literally larger than life. With broad shoulders, muscles on muscles, and a mouth made for kissing, he may be one of the hottest men in the league—and I should know. I’ve turned down enough players to start my own all-star team. But those guys just wanted to get close to my father. Meanwhile, Stone is getting temptingly close . . . to me.

My Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This was a funny, fast-paced sexy read.  It’s not what I was expecting when I picked up this novel It is so much better. 

Jason Stone is a veteran QB drafted to a new team with a losing streak.  He is only focused and looking forward to winning another Super Bowl.  Throughout the years, Jason has been called the “bad boy” of football.  His reputation is well earned from all the women, booze and parties he has partaken of.   He is 34 and a little jaded from the many years of women seeing him only as a paycheck

Savannah is a 29 -year -old executive vice president and chief public relations officer.  She meets Jason at a party hosed by her father.  Both of them do no want to be there for different reasons.

Upon their first meeting, there is a connection, a spark.  Their banter and teasing had me smirking and laughing.  I enjoyed her best friend’s antics as well. He does not know who she is but she knows who he is.  She has been a good-girl all her life but with him, she wants to be oh so bad.  He does not intend to be sidetracked or attracted to the owner’s daughter.  He is not expecting to have a one and done with her either, but he does.  The only problem?  He can’t stop thinking about their night together.  He wants more. 

This book had me turning the pages.  The banter when they first meet is adorable and cute.  He teases her and I was completely enjoying and loving the repartee.  I loved the chemistry between Jason and Savannah.  It is scorching hot.  They both like control in their lives however during the intimate moments, Savannah relents and gives up all control.

I would have enjoyed a bigger look into the secondary characters like Savannah’s friend or even Savannah’s past with her mother.  However, when all is said and done, this is an extremely enjoyable read.
