Release Date: August 30
Things I hadn’t expected to happen on my birthday . . .
1. To go from brunette to orange when I was aiming for blonde.
2. To run into my ex and his new girlfriend, who happened to be sweeter than my favorite candy bar.
3. To literally collide with a wall of muscle belonging to Lucas Donovan, the extremely sexy cornerback on the Virginia Thunder.
Did I say collide? No, I didn’t just collide, I lingered. How could I not? The man smelled like a dream, felt like heaven, and looked like a Greek god. If I didn’t know better, I would have thought my best friend wished him for me when she helped me blow out my candles. She was all about me finding Mr. Right, except I’d never been lucky in love . . . nor was I looking.
And despite all of his wonderful attributes, Lucas wasn’t my type. So when he asked for my number, I declined. Why? Because I knew he had cleat chasers and numerous athletic supporters at his beck and call. Totally not my scene. Instead, I decided to chalk our encounter up to a perfect ending to a perfectly messed-up day.
Thinking I’d never see him again, I was shocked when he popped into my store to ask me out on a date. To say I was thrown a bit off - kilter would be an understatement. Maybe that was why I eventually accepted. Or it could be because I knew my best friend would disown me if I kept turning him down. Not to mention, the man had enough charm to fill my boutique and then some.
Finally happy, I figured my luck had changed. Maybe Lucas Donovan was my Mr. Right. But then my past slammed into my present. And all I wondered was what that meant for our future.

MY REVIEW
Lucas has never been turned down by a woman so firmly before. He's used to women throwing themselves at him - after all, he's a cornerback for the Virginia Thunder, so to have this feisty, gorgeous woman tell him no is mind-boggling, and a definite turn-on. He has his work cut out for him getting her to say yes, but he's never backed down from hard work before.
Harley knows better than to give into the gorgeous football player intent on pursuing her. But what if he really is the sweetheart he's showing her he is? What if she could actually be happy with him?
Sweet, sexy, and downright swoon worthy - I love this installment of the Never Say Never Football Romance series. Lucas is quite possibly one of the best bbfs that I've read in a very long time. He's persistent without being creepy, he has a huge heart, and he's so charming and sweet. Harley is a lucky, lucky woman. And speaking of Harley, she's adorable! I mean, a hat designer?! How cool is that. And she didn't fall for the charming football player at first glance, so you know she's awesome. I love this series, and this one just made it all the better.
