Summary

JARED  

If I had a dollar for every time Banner Morales made my heart skip a beat...

The heart everyone assumes is frozen over.  

Her anger is...arousing. 

Every glare from those fire-spitting eyes, every time she grits her teeth, gets me...well, you know.  

If I had a dollar for every time she's put me in my place, I'd be an even richer man.  

I'm a successful sports agent because I assume "no" means you'll think about it. 

I'm sure what you meant to say is, "Coming right up."  

They say even rich men don't always get what they want, but those men don't know how to play the game. 

The trick is to keep them guessing. Take Banner. 

She assumes she's winning, but this game? 

She doesn't even know how to play.  

BANNER  

If I had a dollar for every time Jared Foster broke my heart, I'd have exactly one dollar.  

One night. One epic fail. One dollar...and I'm out. 

I've moved on. I've found success in a field ruled by men. 

Anything they can do, I have done better. 

They can keep the field while I call the shots, blocking them when I have to. 

And Jared has the nerve to think he gets a second chance?  

Boy, please. Go sit down. Have several seats. 

I'll just be over here ignoring the man carved from my fantasies with a lust-tipped chisel.  

Oh, I didn't say the struggle wasn't real. 

But I've got that one dollar, and Jared won't have me.

I just … look I make no secret of not being a blurb reader - weird I know, but I get enough context from posts or have vague understanding of what the story will be about, what tropes are used and generally, I prefer going into a book blind. I don't watch trailers for movies either, all the best bits are in there and I want to be surprised.

This was no exception, I hadn't read the blurb, knew enough about the book to give it ago, plus Long Shot had already wrecked me, plus I can tell you unequivocally that had I read the blurb, I would not have been substantially interested in the subject matter - not enormously my thing. Again, Long Shot was brilliant though, so I put my headphones on a delved into the world of sport agents.

I was hooked by the 3% mark. The emotional trauma was not nearly as jarring as the first book in this series, but the love interest and the unfurling of said interest was just as captivating. Kennedy has a way of writing her characters, their thoughts and actions in a way that immerses you into their lives completely and irrevocably.

Everything about her writing feels real, rough, the real plight of the lonely heart destined to find love, even if it must claw it's way through everything life throws at it, even if it isn't perfect, even if the fight destroys you. In the end it's worth it and you feel every emotion while you're on this journey she has so carefully set you on. Stunning. Again. Will definitely be reading the third instalment.

One of the tropes is cheating. She said no and he does it any ways.

Not a bad story. Nothing compared to book one nothing memorable. MMC opening admitted taking what he wants. In what world would this end happily ever after?

The characters are so unlikeable. I could not finish this book. First time I've ever not finished a Kennedy Ryan book, She normally writes characters you can get behind but not in this case, both main characters are unbearable.
