Kip Carmichael is no pretty boy.

He’s a rough. Dirty. Giant. Hair so unruly, and a beard so thick, his friends on the team call him Sasquatch.

The first time Sasquatch lays eyes on Theodora “Teddy” Johnson across the keg at a party one night on Jock Row, she’d been relegated to the sidelines by her jock hungry “friends.”

Week-after-week, he watches beautiful but bashful Teddy getting overshadowed, and overlooked. Sasquatch finally broad shoulders his way through the crowd, offering to to be her hairy godmother. But the minute their eyes meet? He’s a goner.

Teaching her the RULES for winning a jock will be the easy part. Not falling in love with her is going to be a losing game.

SYNOPSIS

Kip Carmichael is no pretty boy.

He’s a rough. Dirty. Giant. Hair so unruly, and a beard so thick, his friends on the team call him Sasquatch.

The first time Sasquatch lays eyes on Theodora “Teddy” Johnson across the keg at a party one night on Jock Row, she’d been relegated to the sidelines by her jock hungry “friends.”

Week-after-week, he watches beautiful but bashful Teddy getting overshadowed, and overlooked. Sasquatch finally broad shoulders his way through the crowd, offering to to be her hairy godmother. But the minute their eyes meet? He’s a goner.

Teaching her the RULES for winning a jock will be the easy part. Not falling in love with her is going to be a losing game.

 

*****Patty’s Review*****

*****FOUR STARS*****
{ARC Generously Provided by Author}

 

JOCK RULE starts off almost exactly the same as JOCK HARD did. At first, I was a little annoyed. The only difference was that the Hero was a rugby player instead of a baseball player, and it seemed to take entirely too long for things to spark between the couple but once it did, the story started to get interesting.

 

 

Kip Carmichael is huge and extremely hairy. His hair is usually up in a messy bun with different colored scrunchies and his beard is long and out of control. But underneath the forest of hair is one seriously fine specimen of a man. He comes from a very wealthy family and got tired of girls pursuing him because of his bank account. So becoming a living breathing Sasquatch is his way of scaring all the women away.

 

 

Kip sees a cute but somewhat awkward girl at the Rugby team’s house party three Fridays in a row and decides to take pity on her by offering his services as her ”hairy godmother”. He thinks she could use some tips on how to attract the opposite sex. They fall into an easy friendship. Their easy-going banter is silly and hilarious. Kip is just a gigantic softie. At times he seems almost as innocent and naïve as Teddy. I loved their chemistry.

 

 

Things between Kip and Teddy start off innocent and their interactions are hilarious but there is incredible chemistry between them and the steamy scenes are off the charts HOT! Overall, I thought this story was a pretty fun, sweet and sexy good time!

This is my last arc for 2018! Not a bad way to end the year with regards to blog reviews!

Here are my overall ratings:

Hero: 4.5
Heroine: 4
Plot: 4
Angst: 4
Steam: 4
Chemistry Between Hero & Heroine: 4.5

Dear Mister…**strike out** no, too formal.

Hey there sweet cheeks *strike out* no, too forward.

 

To whom it may concern,

Full disclosure; before we move forward with this email, I would like it to be known that I have consumed an adequate amount of alcoholic beverages to intoxicate myself tonight. Three margaritas, two shots, and one beer—because it was free.

I think it’s important to be open and honest with your co-workers, don’t you?

So here I am, being honest. Drunk but honest. Or just drunk with lust? You decide.

I like you so much it’s clouding my judgment and making me do things I never would sober. Like write this letter.

I have a hopeless, foolish, schoolgirl crush on you when you are the last person on earth I should be falling for. Did you know people around the office call you a sadist? An egomaniac. An insensitive, arrogant prick. Your bark is worse then your bite, and you don’t scare me. The fact is, I’d love that bite of yours to nip at my bare skin while we’re both wearing nothing but sheets.

For once I want you to look at me as more than one of your employees.

And as long as we’re being honest, that navy blue suit you wear? With the crisp white shirt? It really makes me want to loosen your tie and show you who’s boss.

Love,

Sincerely,

Yours.

I open the company messenger app on my phone and scroll through the executive names, knowing full well I’m about to break a policy. It’s the company’s phone, and the company’s app, and I’m about to use it for personal use. To flirt.

With my boss.

I close my eyes, find his name—next to it is a little, green dot, which means. . .

He’s on the app.

I’ve never talked to him live before so this is a huge step, but then again, it might be more fun to get his initial reactions to my comments.

Debating it for all but two seconds, I type out a message to him, making sure I’m signed on under my LSY persona.

HandsRomingMyBody: Hey you.

My text turns into a new message on the app and I wait on bated breath to see if he will respond. Nerves prickle up my spine, my fingers feeling numb, my mind playing mutiny with my heart just as little dots appear letting me know he’s typing.

Oh God, I don’t think I’ve been more excited.

*****3.75 STARS*****

Propping up on his elbows, he takes my face in his hands and strokes my cheeks with his thumbs before ever so softly brushing light kisses across my face. There is nothing urgent about them, just a reassurance that he’s here in my arms, filling every fantasy I’ve ever had. And this will most likely be the end of me, because this is the Rome I saw, the Rome no one else could see. Sensitive, sweet, and loving. Intense.

 

 

I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this book because I love Meghan Quinn and I mean, did you take a look at this cover? I was in full on cover lust mode! I only wish that I had loved the story as much as I loved the cover. I liked it but it was missing that ”wow” factor that I’ve come to expect from Meghan Quinn’s books.

Romances between the sexy but abrasive boss and his cute and feisty as hell employee can be very entertaining reads. I can think of several that have a place on my favorites shelf but for whatever reason, this story was just missing that spark of something special for me. I thought it was enjoyable at times, but I didn’t feel a connection to Rome and Peyton. Rome wasn’t a charismatic hero to me. I wished he had a little bit of a humorous personality like his buddy Hunter.

 

 

 

I don’t want to make it seem like the book was horrible. There were times that I really enjoyed reading it. But I was expecting perfection and that is not what I got from this story. While it might not have been a five-star read for me, it very well might be a huge hit for you.

Here are my overall ratings:

Hero: 3.5
Heroine: 4
Plot: 3.75
Angst: 3

Chemistry Between Hero & Heroine: 4

Like a goddamn ray of sunshine, light streaming behind her from the window, a halo shining above her pretty head.

Her lying, beautiful head.

Dark hair, wavy and glossy, down around her shoulders, the rich color picking up red from the sun.

She’s holding a glass—it’s poised at her lips and she’s about to take a sip—when our eyes meet. She lowers it, her mouth parts, and her smile spreads.

Until I scowl. Then, her face morphs from happy to concerned in a second. Damn right she should be concerned.

I nod.

She nods.

My eyes trail down the front of her and I note her dress—it’s baby blue, wrapped and tied at the waist, and shows off her curves while highlighting her legs in those sexy-as-shit heels.

Stop thinking about her curves and legs. You’re not here to admire her.

The pile of gifts in the corner pisses me off, bringing me back into the present, back to my rage, and has me lifting my arm; crooking my finger.

Peyton’s brows go up at the same time her head cocks and she pokes a finger into her own chest. “Me?”

“Yeah. You.” I know she can’t hear me, but I say it anyway—and if she’s any good at reading lips, she’ll haul her ass over here right quick.

Her cup is passed. Skirt gets smoothed out. Chin tilts high.

She heads over.

Good girl.

“Follow me,” I order her when we’re on the outskirts of the room. When we’re clear across the office common area, I pivot to face her.

She’s shorter, even in heels, so I have to dip my head to glare at her. “Want to tell me exactly what the fuck is going on in there?”

BLOG TOUR – JOCK ROW (Jock Hard #1) by Sara Ney

Leave a comment

 

 

 

Scarlett is always the sensible one: The sober driver. The planner. The one holding your hair back while you’re worshiping the porcelain gods.

Week-after-week, she visits Jock Row with her friends—the universities hottest party scene and breeding ground for student athletes. And if keeping her friends out of trouble, and guys out of their pants, was a sport, she’d be the star athlete.

Being a well known jock-blocker gets her noticed for all the wrong reasons; just like that, she’s banned from Jock Row. NO GUY WANTS A GIRL AROUND WHO KEEPS THEIR JOCK FRIENDS FROM GETTING LAID.

“Rowdy” Wade is the hot shot short-stop for the university’s baseball team—and the unlucky bastard who drew the short straw: keep little Miss Goody Two-Shoes out of the Baseball House.

But week-after-week Scarlett returns, determined to get inside.

Jesus Christ, she has a dimple in her damn cheek.

I’m a sucker for those.

She shoots me a tentative smile, ass parked on the stoop, back propped against the wooden siding of the house.

It’s obvious that she’s blushing by the way she ducks her head, glancing down at the floor, the soft glow from the two busted lamps illuminate the crown of her head.

The porch lights are busted and rusty, needing their bulbs changed, one flickering—the other just about to burn out. It makes the entire place look like a goddamn Halloween fun-house, casting a weird glow on the girl’s smooth, pale skin.

And her pretty dimple.

Stop staring at it, dipshit.

I cast my glance at her outfit, doing my best to analyze her under the dim lights; she must have been sweaty inside the house; I got a good look at her before convincing her to follow me, but still study her as if seeing her for the first time.

Both of her boots are tucked under her legs, and she sits, cross-legged on the ground. Blows out a frustrated puff of air that translates into a billowing stream of steam.

“So.” She wraps her puffed sleeved arms around her knees, hugging them tight. Shivers. “Now what?”

Her prim ponytail is jaunty, bobbing when she tilts her head to gaze over at me.

“Now I babysit you.”

“Lovely. We can bond.”

I position my large body against the railing, giving it a gentle shake to make sure it’s sturdy before supporting all my weight on it. It’s solid and secure and is going to get real uncomfortable real fucking fast if I have to stand here all night.

The girl raises her brows at me. They appear black in this light; full and arched expertly. “Have you babysat anyone before?”

“No one I managed to keep alive,” I joke. “A few cousins my parents forced me to watch a few times; never would feed them but would occasionally throw out a dog bone so they wouldn’t get hungry.”

She smiles, dimple denting the smooth right side of her face. “Is that what you have planned for me?”

I raise my empty hands. “I’m fresh out of Scooby snacks. Guess we’ll both have to starve.”

“Sorry you have to sit out here.”

“Really?” I sound hopeful. “No one is forcing you to sit out here.”

Her light laugh is quiet. “Fine. I guess I’m not that sorry.” She bites down on her lower lip. “I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t enjoying your discomfort—just a little bit.”

“Gee, thanks.”

SYNOPSIS

Book One in the JOCK HARD Series

Scarlett is always the sensible one: The sober driver. The planner. The one holding your hair back while you’re worshiping the porcelain gods.

*****Patty’s Review*****

*****4.5 STARS*****
{ARC Generously Provided by Author}

Take it slow, my brain tells me. Run with it, and run as far as you can go. I’m an athlete—a champion. I play hard and jock harder, and these little games I’ve started with her? I’m playing to win.

 

 

JOCK ROW, the first book in the ”Jock Hard” series was FABULOUS! This story had just about everything I LOVE in a good sports romance. The Hero is every woman’s dream come true. Rowdy Wade is beautiful, cocky, funny, but most of all he has a big heart. You can’t help but fall in love with him. Rowdy and Scarlett start off as enemies but quickly turn into friends and although it did seem as though there was a little bit of “insta-love” happening, it didn’t negatively impact the plot.

While the Hero of the story is one of the most popular jocks on campus, the Heroine, Scarlett, is what would be considered a “wallflower”. She’d much rather spend a Friday night alone in her apartment, binge-watching something on Netflix with a glass of wine, instead of going to a house party on “Jock Row”. She’s practically dragged by her two best friends to a party at the baseball team’s house where she soon gets labeled a ”cock blocker” by a couple of guys. Scarlett gets escorted out of the house by the captain of the baseball team, Rowdy Wade. Their banter is comical and at first, I wasn’t sure if Scarlett was going to be a likable Heroine but as the story progresses she becomes lovable.

 

 

Scarlett and Rowdy make hanging out on the front porch of the baseball team’s house a Friday night ritual. Every Friday, Scarlett tries to attend one of their house parties and Rowdy keeps her from entering the premises, but they spend those nights playing games and getting to know each other and neither of them seems to care that they are missing out on all of the party shenanigans.

 

 

Rowdy thinks Scarlett is a one of a kind girl and he loves that she isn’t falling all over him because he’s a popular jock who has a definite shot at going into the major leagues. She’s into him for the person he is on the inside. Each day that they spend together Rowdy is starting to become enamored with her, not only for her character but she also happens to be a “knock-out” but keeps her beauty hidden under all the layers of clothes she wears during the freezing Iowa winter season.

When Rowdy starts making the moves on Scarlett, she is completely dense at first. Never in a million years did she think he would be interested in a girl like her. She sees him as being ”too good to be true”. Relationships have never been easy for her and Scarlett is used to guys playing games but Rowdy isn’t like any of the guys she’s dated before. He’s beyond smitten with Scarlett and is determined to win her heart.

 

 

Here are my overall ratings

Hero: 5
Heroine: 4.5
Plot: 4.5
Angst: 3
Steam: 5
Chemistry Between Hero & Heroine: 5

This book was truly hard to put down and I have to mention that it gets super steamy. I was on a flight to Denver and had to keep looking around to make sure no one could see what I was reading!!

JOCK ROW is currently available!! A definite must-read!
