BLURB
Sexy. Famous. A player on and off the field.
Cooper Knox has a body built for sex and sin, and he's my dirty little secret.
He was supposed to be a one-night stand - but now he’s back in town, and he’s going to find out the truth.
I’m his best friend’s little sister: off-limits and totally out of his league.
We swore we’d stay away from each other.
Our secret could destroy everything.
But Knox always gets what he wants.
And he wants me.

“Yeah,
well, now that Knox is back in town, we’re gonna have to find him a steady
girl,” Cassie says, furrowing her brow as if she’s scanning her mental
rolodex.
“Yeah,
between the two of us we know plenty of girls who are still single.” Savannah
pulls her phone out, ready to start scrolling through her contacts.
Cash
laughs. “Don’t hold your breath, ladies. The local diamond dolls are gonna be
all over our boy here. Let him enjoy it before you start trying to chain him
down.”
Groupies.
I’ve gotta admit—the routine gets old, but the eye candy never fails to tempt
me. Like I said, you only live once. “Hey, the last girl I hooked up with
didn’t even know who I was,” I can’t help pointing out.
Ryder
laughs. “Is that what she told you?”
I roll
my eyes.
“Did
you find her hidden under a rock, then? I hear those cloistered nuns are hot.”
Cash grins at me, that old twinkle in his eye. He’d never mess around on
Savannah, but I swear that’s made him worse than ever about hounding me to go
hook up in his place.
“Actually,
I met her right here in this fine establishment of ours.”
“Nice.
Hooking up in the library—exactly what we had in mind,” Cash says with more
than a little enthusiasm.
“You
say that like we haven’t already,” Savannah butts in with a pointed eyebrow,
which earns her a high-five from Cassie.
“Hey
don’t change the subject,” Ryder interrupts. “You’ve been holding out on us,
bro. When was this? And who, someone from school?”
“New
Year’s. And nope. Never seen her before in my life. Or since, for that
matter.”
It may
not have been the first time a New Year’s countdown and a whole bunch of booze
ended with a girl screaming my name, but this time was different. For one
thing, this time I was sober enough that my memory of the way she felt beneath
me in that baseball field is still seared red-hot into my brain. The number of
times I’ve relived that night, her hands all over me, her breathing heavy as
she urged my fingers closer to her soaking panties . . .
“So
that’s where you disappeared that night, you dirty dog!” Cash punches my arm
across the table.
Savannah
laughs and tops off her and Cash’s glasses of bubbly with the last of the
champagne. “Anybody you care to see again?”
Yeah,
you could definitely say that. If I knew how to find her, that is.
“Would
if I could,” I admit. “But she was a one-and-done kinda girl. Said no when I
asked for her digits.”
“Oooooh,”
Ryder says. “Love ‘em and leave ‘em. The very best kind.”
Cassie
punches him in the arm and steals his drink out from under him. “A mystery
woman, nice. What did she look like? Maybe she’s a regular.”
I open
my mouth to describe her—long brown hair, huge, sexy, deep brown eyes, a sway
in her step when she walks, a gravelly voice when she’s coming—okay maybe I
wouldn’t have added that last part. But right as I’m about to start speaking, a
knee collides with me from behind.
I
manage to keep from dropping my scotch, though just barely. I’m about to spin
around and bark a curse at whoever just staggered into me, when Jackson, who’s
been oddly quiet so far, stiffens. “Oh, hey,” he says, looking not at me, but
above and behind me.
Everyone’s
eyes follow his, and I turn around to find myself staring up at a familiar
face.
“What,
that’s your only greeting to your beloved little sister?”
There,
standing behind me, close enough to touch, close enough that I can smell the
familiar floral bite of her perfume, is my not-so-mysterious-after-all New
Year’s hookup. Grinning sarcastically while looking straight at Jackson.
Little
sister? Jackson’s younger sister is my mysterious New Year’s hookup?
Fuck.
You
have got to be kidding me.

(5 STARS)
So this was said to be a standalone, and I guess you can read it as a standalone but I'm one of those weird people that if there are previous books with the previous characters, I wanna read them first. So lucky for me, I could do that. There is a novella with Knox and Shelby meeting and having a hook up; this is nothing you don't already learn in the blurb, neither knowing just who the other person is exactly, just that there is a chemistry that is so freaking strong between them.
Knox, a pitcher, is coming home to ATL. Having been traded to the Braves, it has been a while since he has been on the home front and a part of what his friends and him have started; their bars. Shelby is Knox's best friends little sister, and once this is revealed Knox takes it upon himself to stay away from her before everything is found out...... but what about that pull? Can he resist her? Can she resist him?
I loved this story there was something about it that just.... clicked for me I guess. I loved seeing the whole gang, and this had the right amount of drama, and the perfect amount of some naughty hotness!! I give this 5 stars.
