Title: Game for Tonight (Game for It, #3)
 

She'll teach him the art of seduction one play at a time...

Publicist Aubrey Cooper never should have crossed the line. After all, pro football player Flynn Foley is her client. But something about this mouth-wateringly-hot, clean-cut athlete makes Aubrey imagine all kinds of X-rated fantasies. And it only takes one game-changing play―and one night―to turn the tables from strictly business to very, very personal…

Flynn has maintained a no-sexy-distractions policy for his entire pro career. Aubrey is exactly the kind of distraction he was trying to avoid, and she's the one he can't resist. When the media catches wind of their naughty little liaison, however, Aubrey's boss steps in to make them an official couple. What Flynn doesn't know is that Aubrey is forced to fake the relationship―or lose her job. Now Aubrey must hide the truth…even as she begins to fall for Flynn.

The third instalment in the series was my least favourite. I couldn't connect with the main characters and it was shallow and without depth. No character development, cliché plot, rushed love story with a lot of sex but not much talking or doing anything that could actually create such a "big love".

Flynn is Hawk's QB but he only warms the bench. Not because he isn't good, but because Jared Quinn (Game for Marriage) is the star of the team. There are rumors about him - that he's still virgin, that he only concenrates on the game.

Aubrey is the team's publicist. She's wanted Flynn for a long time but because of the team's policy she hadn't act on it. Now she's tired of fighting her attraction to him and is ready to get him where she wants him. Into her bed.

And she does. She takes his virginity (yeah, the rumors where true) and expect that her life will go on like it has until this moment.

But a papparazzi catches them and team's other publicist has some ideas how to gain the most of this situation. He treathens to fire Aubrey if she doesn't date Flynn and if she does date him, the publicist promises her a promotion.

Guess what she chose?

I found this book boring. Maybe it's because I've read tens of books with similiar theme. But I don't think that I would have liked it even if it was original and unique.

I know nothing about the characters. Except of their bodies. And how their "relationship" progressed. That's all. There was no insight about their lifes or about their pasts. We don't know why Flynn was virgin until now (I think that there was once sentence about it, but it didn't really explain anything).

And the whole virgin thing? How realistic is that? He's twenty five, woman throws themselves at hima at daily basis and he's still a virgin? Let's say that it's possible.. Why does he give it up to someone he barely knows? Because she's hotter than others? Because he wasn't supposed to do it and the forbidden fruit tastes the best?..

It was rushed and their love was like a switch. Just like someone flicked it in the middle of the book and that was all. There wasn't even any big love decleration. If I decided to skip a few lines I would have missed it.

Most of the time I felt like Aubrey really was with Flynn only because she wanted that promotion and Flynn was with her because she was his first one and didn't know any better. And when he finds out about it she changes her mind and she loves him.

I really don't know how they could love each other. They've known each other for a while yes, but I never really talked or were friends until they slept together. And then they were having nonstop sex . And if they weren't sleeping with each other, they were doing their own stuff.

But what I liked was that there was a bit of Jared and Sherridan from GAME FOR MARRIAGE. Those two belong to my favourite couples and I was glad to see them again.
