I’ve signed numerous players to my family’s agency—I assumed winning over my next client would be just as easy.
The last thing I expected was to run into the boy who took my first kiss and broke my heart: only now Drew Bowman is all grown up.
Sexy. Scandal-tainted. Second-string. The crush I never got over.
I tell myself work is the reason I can’t get him out of my head. I tell him his talen
t far outweighs his position, and I know I can help. I lie and lie, because admitting that I want a second chance at my first love is impossible.Some lines cannot be crossed, and ours was drawn in the sand years ago.

I’m supposed to hate her.
I’ve been told so time and again for ten years - her father ruined our family, smeared my name before my career even began.
But that’s not what I’m feeling now.
Brexton Kincade just strode out of my memories and onto my field.
Driven. Determined. Grown up. The Capulet to my Montague.
Being with her would be an unforgivable sin against my father, but I can’t resist the pull between us. Even if it means hiding what we have. Even if it means confronting the secrets I’ve always feared were lies.
Hard to Score is the third book in the Play Hard series and I’m really enjoying getting to know the four Kincade sisters.
Anyone who had an unrequited crush as a teenager should appreciate this second chance sports romance. Brexton Kincade pined over Drew Bowman, the dreamy football player and close family friend, when they were growing up. We get to view their friendship from both their perspectives and it’s sweet, yearning, and naive in the way only adolescence can be.
Fast forward about a decade and Brexton is no longer the awkward and insecure girl Drew once overlooked, but a gorgeous, intelligent, and strong sports agent succeeding in a male-dominated industry. When she crosses paths with Drew, who is now a second string NFL quarterback, it’s her second chance to finally get her dream guy.
The main obstacle between them is a bitter family feud of unknown origin. The mysterious cause is frequently alluded to and the buildup is great, but when the truth is finally uncovered it falls flat for me. It’s difficult to believe the dramatic ripple effect of this one particular incident.
That being said, the bulk of the story is wonderful. Brexton and Drew make a great couple. He is gifted and honorable, and she pushes him to embrace his talent and dream bigger. I loved their flirty exchanges. This book is a winning addition to the series.
