Blurb:

He’s the GOAT of the NFL. She’s a hot-headed reporter who despises him. They’re in the same small town for the summer. What could possibly go wrong?

I’m more than aware of the responsibilities that come with being a quarterback in the NFL.

The upside—I get to do what I love every day, which is play football.

And I make more money than I know what to do with.

The downside—everyone wants a piece of me, and the press stalks me ruthlessly. 

And one reporter in particular, Brinkley Reynolds, has crossed a line.

She takes things too far.

So yeah, I have her escorted out of the press conference.

Imagine my surprise when the same woman walks into the coffee shop in the small town where I’ve gone to get some privacy for the summer.

I accuse her of stalking me.

She calls me every name in the book before proceeding to make me feel very unwelcome in Cottonwood Cove.

Her hometown.

The place where she tucked tail and ran after I’d unknowingly gotten her fired.

So now I’m enemy number one.

That’s fine with me. 

I’m not the biggest fan of her either.

She’s equal parts stubborn and aggravating.

But she happens to be the sexiest woman I’ve ever laid eyes on.

So I try to make amends.

I’m not the devil after all.

But she won’t give me the time of day unless I agree to give her my story.

One I’ve fought hard to protect since the day I started playing professional ball.

I don’t owe Brinkley Reynolds anything.

So why am I considering giving her everything?

Review:

I wasn’t sure if we were supposed to like Lincoln at the beginning. He came across as the a**hole that he’s called more than once. But as we get to know him, and he lets his guard down around Brinkley and her family, he becomes the hero our book deserves. He’s got a big heart and is very giving but he also doesn’t want every moment of his life out there to be dissected by the world. He keeps his circle small and it feels good to be let in.

I don’t know if more was given in other books about the situation that got Brinkley fired because it didn’t make a lot of sense to me. For her thinking of herself as one of the good reporters, I’m not sure why she thought it was OK to follow a man into the bathroom to ask him questions. In general, I think I liked Brinkley more because Lincoln found her so appealing. She’s sassy and fun, but also stubborn and sometimes I wonder about her choices. Kinda makes her real, huh?

The Reynolds siblings are a hoot. I loved all of their interactions (and their love of Lincoln 🙂 ) They are supportive but also willing to give each other hell. The group text chat was hilarious and I really want more of all of them. Funny and steamy, with a good dose of family love & support, I enjoyed my intro to Pavlov’s world and look forward to what comes next.

(While this one can technically stand on its own, I think it would best be enjoyed with some background info. There were a lot of siblings and cousins that had their own stories to tell. It got a little confusing in a couple of places – not critical to Brinkley and Lincoln’s story but still a bit troublesome.)
