New Orleans Sinners football team, including wide receiver Connor Riley, was the team that Stevie was determined to make her name covering. The situation was powerful and, even though Stevie knew that she was professional enough to cover the story, she was sure that her photography freelancing would someday pay off. Unfortunately, the day she finally got her fabulous photographs, she was also hospitalized because she ended up on the bottom of the tackled ball players.

Ms. Lynn Shurr has written a compelling novel about finding and following dreams. She has used a myriad of characters which could present readers with a series of books about the lives of these football players. We are promised, in fact, at the end of this beautiful novel, that there is a sequel which will give us the details of another player, Joe Dean’s, life. I cannot wait!

The two main characters were well developed and grabbed my attention early. I could not put the book down. It had a compelling plot with much conflict. Just when it seemed things were winding up for their happily-ever-after, another kink would surface. Shurr is a wonderful story teller. The sensuality was sizzling. The storyline did not suffer because of the sexual activity; it was enhanced.

I truly enjoyed this book. The ending was surprising—not the HEA, but the manner in which she concluded the book. I highly recommend it to anyone over the age of eighteen.
