Struggling pro football wide receiver Derek Ramsey was once Rachel McCormick's best friend and lover, and now they're forced together again.

Gifted with an uncanny ability for evaluating football talent and a dogged determination to succeed in a man's world, Rachel finally gets her chance in the pros as a staff member of the Seattle Steelheads. Her first assignment is to help Derek get his game back. While working with him on the field, she succumbs to the chemistry between them and spends a forbidden night in his arms.

The next day Derek has the best performance of his not-so illustrious career. Soon Derek and Rachel are racking up nights in bed, and the team is racking up wins. Not only is Rachel his coach, but Derek knows the truth behind a secret that destroyed her father years before. They're risking their careers, but they can't resist each other.

Torn between love and duty, the clock is winding down. It's fourth and goal, one second left in the game. The next play Derek makes must be for Rachel's heart.

Previously published as Fourth and Goal in 2011. This version has been updated, re-written, and re-edited.

Review:

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars

I was going to read the book since so far I have liked what I have read from this author, but I wasn't able to read past chapter two. Why? Here is exhibit #1: 

"There were lots of things Rachel McCormick couldn’t forget. Topping the list was Derek Ramsey, her former longtime best friend and only-one-weekend lover. And not just any weekend lover, but the shatter-your-heart-never-slept-with-anyone-else-before-or-after type of lover." 

So Rachel was a virgin before Derek and she didn't sleep with anyone for the last 5 years aka from the time she slept with Derek until the present time. That alarmed me and I started doing some research in my e-copy and I stumbled upon exhibit #2 and the nail in the coffin

"He’d never been one of those sex-crazed guys who had to have it several times a day, or even once a day. In fact, until she’d stumbled back into his life, he’d done quite well with once a week, if that. He went for quality, not quantity." Once a week means 52 per year which makes it 260 women, 250 to give him a break. Isn't it perfect when the "hero" is a manwhore and the heroine is oh so pure? 

The story could break some stereotypes by having the heroine work in a male-dominated profession, but it had to be ruined by making her a nun for the last 5 years and him a walking STD. The worst part was that the first time they had sex (in present time) she even told Derek that there was no need for condom since she said he must clean. She should have had him tested.
