Hook Up by Kristen Callihan



2 Stars

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 most definitely 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?

Football has been good to Drew—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 turn 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. Anna wants it to remain a hook up, but Drew sees the possibility of something great. Now it’s up to him to persuade her. It’s a good thing Drew knows all about winning.

As the saying goes, All’s fair in love and football… Game on.

The book had a pacing issue which made me hate it. It took forever to get to the plot and the HEA. It just didn’t work for me.

Forward Pass by Desiree Holt book 1 Game On – 4 star


Shay Beckham had her brother’s best friend Joe Reilly on a pedestal.  He was the star quarterback and everyone in their Texas town loved him.  Fifteen years later and Joe finally realizes Shay isn’t the little kid any more.  Now if only he can get her to realize he isn’t the player everyone thinks he is.

The book had good pacing.  The story moved along in a nice clip that I never felt like I was given too much information.  I enjoyed the interactions between Joe and Shay.  At times the book frustrated me but in a good way.  I wanted to smack Joe upside the head so many times to get him to see sense about his actions.  This made the book for me.  He was such an idiot but so likable you couldn’t hate him forever.  I also enjoyed the fact that Shay didn’t instantly forgive him for being an idiot.

Overall I enjoyed the book and am looking forward to reading the next one.
