Review: Game On – Tracy Solheim

Posted March 17, 2013 by Shannon in / 0 Comments

The only way to win is to score…
With a reputation for fast moves on the gridiron and even faster moves off the field, Shane Devlin was a player in every sense of the word. Unfortunately, his bad-boy persona has made him a risky prospect as a quarterback, and only the Baltimore Blaze are willing to give him a chance. And he’s about to take a hit he never expected.
Working for the Blaze, Carly March knows too well how jocks think—and what they think with—so she’s always made a point of keeping them at arm’s length. But when she shares a kiss with the devilishly handsome Shane, she finds it hard to play by her own rules—and even harder to resist him.
Can a football hero and a business-minded beauty take it all the way? Or will their mutual attraction cost them the big game?

Reviewer’s Thoughts:

Welcome to the behind the scenes world of pro-football where the Devil of the NHL, a veteran quarterback must decide if the chemistry between himself and an ex media darling is enough to risk his last chance at playing ball. The Devil of the NFL who lives for scandal and the unwitting tabloid princess who would like nothing better than to hide in the shadows for the rest of her life. These two are as different as you are likely to get. Yet why can’t they seem to keep their hands off each other? Not your typical professional jock just out for more money and celebrity, Shane Devlin’s motivation is to surpass his father’s fame.

With unique character building and raw intensity of feeling, I can easily see the way he is torn between what he’s always wanted and what his heart tells him. He comes across as cold and uncaring but that couldn’t be further from the truth. I couldn’t help but love this emotionally damaged hero and hope that Carly would give him a chance to prove to her the man he really is. The unexpected problem of a stalker and an orphan child add a twist of drama to the already emotionally charged story. Sexual tension, drama and a whole lot of heart, Game On has it all.
