\"Maude's<\/p>\n

\"synopsis\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Manchester Marauders offensive lineman Jason Stafford has everything going for him until he is blindsided by a calculating woman who names him as the father of her unborn child. Unsure of the validity of her claim, he treads carefully, despite being willing to accept responsibility.<\/p>\n

Maude Killion, the younger sister of one of Jason\u2019s teammates, has been sidelined by a crush on Jason. Determined to revise her game plan, Maude asserts her independence from her overprotective brother and a controlling boyfriend.<\/p>\n

While working on a charity project, Maude and Jason discover they play well together. But when Maude becomes the victim of a malicious foe, it appears that another player has entered the game\u2014one with deadly intentions who will stop at nothing to win.<\/p>\n

Now, Maude and Jason must join forces to defeat their opponent and score a victory for love.<\/p>\n

\"excerpt\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Barely able to keep up with his long strides, Maude followed him down the corridor to an old gym. No overhead lights, along with the gray skies, kept the room dark.<\/p>\n

Which might have been a good thing, because her mind blanked the moment Jason shoved her against the wall and kissed her.<\/p>\n

In shock, she took a moment to catch up with his hungry lips before shoving against his chest. \u201cWhat are you doing? What is this?\u201d<\/p>\n

He smiled his wicked playboy smile and drew her lower body against his own. \u201cGratitude.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGratitude for what?\u201d Maude drew a deep breath, fighting past whatever blocked her throat and caused her heart to thunder.<\/p>\n

He tucked her hair behind her ear. \u201cFor listening to me the other night.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t mind. I don\u2019t want gratitude from you. I want\u2026I don\u2019t know, because I can\u2019t believe this is real. You kissing me isn\u2019t doing anything but confusing me.\u201d She stepped out of his arms. \u201cPlus, you came with Ariel.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t leave with her.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, that\u2019s a great line, one I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve used often, but with me\u2026no. Just no. I don\u2019t do lines, and I don\u2019t do grateful kisses.\u201d<\/p>\n

I received this book from the author for an honest review.<\/p>\n

EEEP!!\u00a0 When we first meet Maude we can SEE her massive crush on her brother\u2019s team mate, Jason.\u00a0 We can KINDA see he likes her but is it for the ego stroke or more??\u00a0 I loved watching their banter back and forth which also hid some fireworks both were letting off.<\/p>\n

Jason is a PLAYER!!\u00a0 I mean to the 100th<\/sup> degree.\u00a0 He is with a different girl every day and even two in a day.\u00a0 He is happy with his life and his \u201ctake it or leave it but I don\u2019t go back for 2nd<\/sup>\u201d life.\u00a0 His life hits a snag when his \u201chit it and quit it\u201d regular Ariel says she is preggo.\u00a0 This puts Jason in a tail spin and he starts to prioritize his life.<\/p>\n

Maude is all career woman now.\u00a0 She is taking steps away from her crush of Jason by dating, unsuccefully, Brady.\u00a0 She is going to move on with her life and let her desire for him go since he is never going to see her as more than just Owen\u2019s little sister.\u00a0 When she comes home from the beginning of the ending for her and Brady she sits and talks with Jason.\u00a0 He spills his life drama to the one woman who won\u2019t judge.\u00a0 This is the one woman who loves him no matter what.\u00a0 This is the one woman who will be and has been his rock.\u00a0 It all clicks together for Jason\u2026he needs Maude. PERIOD.<\/p>\n

Jason and Maude begin to navigate dating while dealing with Owen, her big over protective brother AND Ariel, Jason\u2019s baby mama, PLUS Maude\u2019s ex Brady.\u00a0 But when \u201cthings\u201d begin to happen to Maude, plus Jason\u2019s family crisis\u2019 get worse, they both are spinning.\u00a0 They don\u2019t know what to do except hold on tighter to each other!!<\/p>\n

The one thing I love about these books are the theme of family but I also love the suspense\/mystery of the novels.\u00a0 The \u201cwho done it\u201d of the books are always great reads.\u00a0 I am super excited for the next book because I am dying to know who Clayton is falling for!!<\/p>\n
