Review: Game for Love by Bella Andre

Game for Love

(Bad Boys of Football #3)

by Bella Andre

Football linebacker Cole Taylor has one goal: To fulfill his grandmother’s dying wish to see her grandson happy with a woman he loves.

Fortunately for him, Cole has a million women to choose from. But not a single beauty is the right woman for him.

Setting out to search for this woman, he finds Anna Davis, a sensible first grade teacher whose life is simply and easy. But once they set their eyes on each other, sparks fly and both of them seem to lose their heads. Neither one happy with the way their lives are at the moment, they decide to take matters in their own hands and do something about it.

Their first tactic? Get married.

Bella Andre writes some of the best contemporary romances out there today and her erotic take on these sexy football players have definitely caught my interests. While I don’t think this is my favorite of Bella Andre’s work, I still think it’s worth reading. There’s undeniable chemistry and a fun storyline.

The things Cole and Anna do are so outrageous and impulsive that it was kind of liberating to read about. They are two people aren’t happy with their lives and they become fed up with just settling. Instead, they take a leap and find that there is truth to their love after all even though it started out as a lie.

Review: Game for Anything by Bella Andre

Game for Anything

by Bella Andre

(Bad Boys of Football # 1)

I kind of have a soft spot for sports romance lately.  Maybe I've been in that kind of mood, but this book has been in my TBR pile for a long time and I finally decided to pick it up.  This being my first book by Ms. Andre I was more than pleasantly surprised.  The story is cute, sweet and sexy.  With a hero to die for and a heroine who I didn't want to kill (most of the time).

Ty was the jock all through high school, dating all the beautiful girls and getting noticed for his athletic abilities.  He also had major issues to overcome being that he didn't come from the best family, nor did he come from money.  He always felt less than others in that respect so a successful sports career has given him the chance to better himself and he's taken it to an excess.

But before the lights and the money he had one night with the smartest girl in his class.  At senior prom he gets the guts to approach a girl who wasn't the popular girl, but he always felt he didn't deserve.  Julie had the hots for him.  And that one night led to him taking her virginity.  Except it all went wrong the morning after and they haven't spoken or seen each other since.

Fast forward ten years, he is a successful quarterback in his prime but with a really bad reputation that needs cleaning up.  Julie has made a very successful career as an image consultant.  She is called in as the best person to fix Ty's image.  And from that first meeting sparks are flying!

I had a small problem with Julie always jumping to conclusions.  She always thought the worst of Ty without giving him the opportunity to explain.  From that first night after senior prom and the same now.  She's always thinking she knows what Ty feels and wants.

I enjoyed the writing style a lot, the bit of humor and sweetness in the book, and of course the hot athlete.  So I'll be jumping into book two very soon!
