Series: Rules of Love #2
Genres: Romance, Contemporary, Sports
A sexy standalone forbidden sports romance from #1 NYT Bestseller Lauren Blakely!
The woman I want is as off-limits as they come.
I had an excuse two years ago when I met her on campus. She interviewed me for a story on major league baseball's rising stars, and we shared a hot, passionate night that ended far too soon, and without a mention of who her father was.
Now I know the innocent but sexy woman I can’t stop thinking about is the coach's daughter.
That means her dad is the guy who determines if I bat fourth in the starting lineup in every game, or ride the bench.
All the more reason to resist alluring, confident, brainy Reese every time I run into the reporter-turned-sports publicist.
That ought to be easy enough, until the time she confesses she's still carrying her V card, and she’s been wanting me to cash it in since the day we met.
Staying away from her is going to be harder than resisting a fastball down the middle.
Especially since I'm pretty sure she's the one who got away, and letting her slip through my fingers again would be a rookie mistake.
My Review:
The story starts off with Reese Fallon scoring an interview with major league baseball rising star, Holden Kingsley. As a university student, she hopes that her podcast will open new opportunities for her in sports marketing when she graduates. But what Reese wants the most is to make a name for herself, to have her own reputation and do her own thing where she is not just her father’s daughter. So when Reese nabs the interview with the second baseman for the LA Bandits, she is excited to meet him.
It’s when she does and sees how charming he is that she wishes they didn’t have to part ways. He happens to feel the same and they both share a passionate night that ended too soon. Until she gets a job opportunity of a life time that Reese is ready to say goodbye to Holden without realizing that their paths were going to cross again in the future. Now they have the opportunity to pick up where they left off, yet there are new obstacles in the horizon that they both need to face in order to have a future together.
Holden Kingsley’s life revolves around being prepared and always having a plan. When he gets an email about a possible interview, Holden agrees right away. He has worked really hard to get to where he is and his career is looking very promising. His focus is on his career, but when he sees Reese Fallon for the first time, he is immediately taken aback by her beauty. She is smart, confident and loves sports. They have so much in common that he doesn’t want to walk away from her and for once lets go of his plans in order to be with her. But just when he thought that he could make things work with her, she gets a job opportunity and they part ways. It’s when he sees her again that he vows to make her his and never let go of her again. Until he finds out who her dad really is and how that might affect a possible relationship going forward.
I throughly enjoyed reading The Virgin Game Plan, Lauren Blakely delivers an instanlove sports romance story that had me reading until the very end. The characters were relatable and their chemistry was sizzling. It’s clear from the start that they have a strong connection that neither of them want to leave the other. They understand each other very well and this makes Holden think that maybe they can work things out. Until they have to go their separate ways and they don’t see again until years later. They are very family orientated, but there are things that Holden doesn’t know about Reese that she fears of how he is going to look at her once he finds out. They both fear of how the public is going to take the news of their relationship and they have to figure out if it’s worth fighting for it or not. All in all, if you like a good sports romance filled with sweet and steamy scenes then I would highly recommend checking out The Virgin Game Plan, the ending truly comes full circle! :)
