Rick Moorehouse is a former quarterback for the Houston Texans and is now coaching a high school football team. After his football career was over, Rick had many job offers but he chose coaching at the high school level because loves working with the young boys and making a difference in their lives. Rick is rich, good looking and one of Houston’s most eligible bachelors. With all his success he is still a nice, down to earth guy with a heart of gold.
Brandy is a single mom and owns a popular and successful gym. Rick and Brandy meet when Rick starts working out at Brandy’s gym. Brandy declines Rick’s offer when he asks her out, even though she is attracted to him. Brandy is divorced and the mother of two and is too busy raising her kids and running her gym to have any time to date. She is happy with her life and proud of all she has accomplished.
I thoroughly enjoyed this fun, light, sexy read about two people who start a no strings relationship and find they want more. The characters are entertaining and the story put me in the holiday spirit. Rick is the perfect guy. He is a big, alpha male and yet he also has a sweet and vulnerable side. Brandy’s perfectly toned body turns Rick on from the moment he first sees her. They can’t keep their hands off of each other, have a lot of fun together and are surprised when they find themselves falling in love.
