Title: The Friend Zone (Game On, #2)
 

Gray doesn’t make friends with women. He has sex with them. Until Ivy.

The last thing star tight-end Gray Grayson wants to do is drive his agent’s daughter’s bubblegum pink car. But he needs the wheels and she’s studying abroad. Something he explains when she sends him an irate text to let him know exactly how much pain she’ll put him in if he crashes her beloved ride. Before he knows it, Ivy Mackenzie has become his best texting bud. But then Ivy comes home and everything goes haywire. Because the only thing Gray can think of is being with Ivy.

Ivy doesn’t have sex with friends. Especially not with a certain football player. No matter how hot he makes her…

Gray drives Ivy crazy. He’s irreverent, sex on a stick, and completely off limits. Because, Ivy has one golden rule: never get involved with one of her father’s clients. A rule that’s proving harder to keep now that Gray is doing his best to seduce her. Her best friend is fast becoming the most irresistible guy she’s ever met.

Which means Gray is going to have to use all his skills to get himself out of the friend zone and into Ivy’s heart. Game on.

Title: The Hook Up (Game On, #1)
 

The rules: no kissing on the mouth, no staying the night, no telling anyone, and above all… No falling in love.

Anna Jones just wants to finish college and figure out her life. Falling for star quarterback Drew Baylor is certainly not on her to do list. Confident and charming, he lives in the limelight and is way too gorgeous for his own good. If only she could ignore his heated stares and stop thinking about doing hot and dirty things with him. Easy right?

Too bad he’s committed to making her break every rule…

Football has been good to Drew. It’s given him recognition, two National Championships, and the Heisman. But what he really craves is sexy yet prickly Anna Jones. Her cutting humor and blatant disregard for his fame turns him on like nothing else. But there’s one problem: she's shut him down. Completely.

That is until a chance encounter leads to the hottest sex of their lives, along with the possibility of something great. Unfortunately, Anna wants it to remain a hook up. Now it’s up to Drew to tempt her with more: more sex, more satisfaction, more time with him. Until she’s truly hooked. It's a good thing Drew knows all about winning.

All’s fair in love and football…Game on.

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.

Title: This is Falling (Falling, #1)

First, I had to remember how to breathe. Then, I had to learn how to survive. Two years, three months and sixteen days had passed since I was the Rowe Stanton from before, since tragedy stole my youth and my heart went along with it.

When I left for college, I put a thousand miles between my future and my past. I’d made a choice—I was going to cross back to the other side, to live with the living. I just didn’t know how.

And then I met Nate Preeter.

An All-American baseball player, Nate wasn’t supposed to notice a ghost-of-a-girl like me. But he did. He shouldn’t want to know my name. But he did. And when he learned my secret and saw the scars it left behind, he was supposed to run. But he didn’t.

My heart was dead, and I was never supposed to belong to anyone. But Nate Preeter had me feeling, and he made me want to be his. He showed me everything I was missing.

And then he showed me how to fall.

Review: Slashed by Tracy Wolff

Title: Slashed (Extreme Risk #3)



The third book in the Extreme Risk series is about Luc and Cam. We've met them before and I was excited to know their story.

In the beginning their relationship is strained, because those two hooked up couple months ago and Cam just disappeared on him in the middle of the night. This caused the strain, because he's been in love with her for almost a decade and Cam didn't reciprocate it and thought herself to be in love with Z (Shredded).

This novel seemed a bit shorter then the other two and there was s lot of going back and forth.

I'd like to say something nice about Cam, but Oh My God! she was so annoying. I didn't like her before I started reading and this book didn't change my opininon. On the contrary.

She acts like she's this tough girl and nothing and no one can break her. But in reality she's insecure, needs way too many assurances and is over-sensitive.

On the other side I loved Luc. Honestly, he's my least favourite out of the trio: Luc, Z and Ash but he's not far behind. He's the perfect example of underdog, he's underrated (that's what he thinks and nobody agrees with him, but those thinkg Cam does to him only helps to cement it). He's sweet and caring - sometimes way to much. He'd probably take Cam back even if she cheated on him right in front of him.

There was basically no romance. Only parts where they had nonstop sex and part with this weird tension.

The ending was a bit abrupt and many things were left unresolved [SPOILER: 1. Cam's mum came back after seventeen years and we don't know why she left, why she came back, how come her brother accepted her right back? 2. Luc's family. There were some hints, but.. 3. The whole pregnancy thing.]. But maybe we'll find out in the next book in the series.
