Tackled by Sabrina Paige
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Another cute read from Sabrina Paige! For some reason, right now I am really sucked into this Sports Romance hole. I can't seem to get enough! This book was the perfect fit for my purposes. Heavy on the romance and light on the football. I think I will speak for many when I say its not really the football I am reading for, but rather the body that the football creates for the hero 'Eyebrow waggle'
This story was really cute and VERY Steamy. I loved the easy witty banter between the MC's and their chemistry was really great. The heroine Cassie was a nerdy graduate student studying sociology at the same school as the College football sensation Colton King. He pretty much follows all the stereotypes of a college football star; Manwhore to infinity and beyond, doesn't try on his school work or go to classes, parties like it's his job, etc...
I really liked Cassie in this book. She was an intelligent female lead who was noted as a 'nerd', but she was no shrinking violet! She had a backbone and she was funny as hell!
"I'm sorry" she says. "About what?" "I'm sorry that's your best feature," She says nodding pointedly downward at my cock. " How disappointing"
"Her brilliant solution to my financial plight was to be a dominatrix. She said I have the disposition for it. I'm Pretty sure that just means I'm a grumpy bitch."
"I see enormous cocks all the time!" Oh God. Did I just say that? It sounds like this apartment is Grand Central Station for dicks."
"You look... easygoing. Not high maintenance."
" I look NO maintenance!"
Cassie works for the Athletic program as a tutor and is assigned to help Colton pass his classes so he won't be benched for the upcoming season. I appreciated how the author didn't go with the whole 'he-is-an-amazing-athlete-so-doesn't-have-to-do-any-school-shit' story line. Let's give these boys SOME responsibility!
Colton is attracted to Cassie right away and immediately lets her know it with cocky self assurance (which is pretty funny given his situation during their first meeting). Cassie, obviously, thinks he is gorgeous, but beyond that, she is not interested. Colton, who is not used to women resisting him, Has NO clue how to 'woo' anyone but he knows he wants Cassie. Cassie has her many reasons as to why she won't attampt an type of relationship with Colton; He is her 'Student' and it is strictly off limits, he is an arrogant, cocky ass, He is crude, He is a super manwhore with girls throwing themselves at him, etc...
After many pages of banter and arguing and tension they finally agree to a sort of fling for the summer. The relationship develops very nicely and the rest you will have to read :)
