He’s Rebellious in the Ring and Reckless in Love.
Sky Cold knows exactly what she wants, and it’s Luke Finnegan, the college campus star quarterback. The only problem is she’s not even a blip on his radar. In order to get noticed by her crush, she’s willing to exchange the extra bedroom in her apartment to Luke’s tattooed, older brother to find a way into his social circle.
Baker Finnegan is determined to get out of his father’s shadow and do things his way. When he falls on hard times, and the sexy, slightly nerdy co-ed, Sky offers him a place to live in exchange for fake friendship, he can’t pass up the opportunity. But when Baker quickly realizes the only match he wants to make for Sky is one with himself, he has to convince her to look past his reckless ways.
Review by Twinsie Melinda
I received a copy of this book for an honest review.
Michelle A. Valentine is a new to me author this was the first book I have read of hers. Really you cannot go wrong with a football player, fighter, frat brothers and the quiet girl.
Sky is the quiet girl that like all other girls has a big crush on the school quarterback. Only problem is he has no idea she exist. She finds out Luke has a brother and when the opportunity arises to have his brother Baker help her get noticed by Luke she is all over it. You see Baker is recently homeless so Sky hatches a plan with Baker. She will allow him to stay in her extra bedroom if he helps her get a date with Luke.
Baker is now on the hook to help Sky get a date with his brother. Only one problem Sky has work her way in and Baker is realizing she is meaning more to him than just a friend and he knows Luke is not good enough for her. Plus now that Sky has become such good friends with Baker she is wondering if she has picked the right brother.
Baker and Sky both keep secrets about their family and for a while the house rule “family off limits” is okay to each of them. I was rooting for Baker and Sky but Sky is determined to make it work out somehow with Luke. Baker and Luke had their own issues to deal with. Not only did I fall for Baker, Sky and Luke there were other side characters that intrigued me. I want to know more about Baker, Sky and Luke’s friends. I did enjoy watching Sky open up and let someone in. It was hard on my heart to see Baker struggle with opening up only to possible lose the girl.
Since I am reading Michelle A. Valentine for the first time, I didn’t quite understand the significance of who Sky Dad is but if you are a fan of her writing and have not read this yet you will probably go crazy when you find out who he is. I will say after reading this I will be checking out a few more books of hers. And I also want to check out the 2nd book in this series coming out in April.
