Football, sexy men and hot steamy love scenes. What more could you ask for? Jami Davenport brings it all to her writing which makes her books a delectable naughty treat. Reading this installment of the series, the sexual chemistry between Lavender and Tyler just flows off the page. These two dance the verbal tango back and forth, generating a heat between the two that can not be denied. When they do get together , you cry out "Finally!". because it is almost too much for you as the reader to take. It's not Happily Ever After yet. Tyler and Lavender have a lot of emotional baggage. They have to sift through the damage that years of hanging on the the emotions has done. In order to move forward they have to resolve their past issues.When Lavender's grandmother Doris was introduced, I swear I wanted to reach in a strangle that woman. She has to be the most annoying, infuriating character ever. She strolls is and takes control of Lavender's life. What's most aggravating is that Lavender lets her. Lavender is grateful to her grandmother for taking care of her but I think her actions are hurtful. Lavender is not allowed to really be independent or grown up. She doesn't get to experience things like some her age should because Doris comes in and dictates what she can and cannot do. This makes Doris my least favorite character.Tyler.....that is one fine man. He is the complete package, good looking, athletic, and smart. Did I say good looking? ;) Tyler has a heart of gold but tries to come off as a jerk. By doing this he can keep people at arms length. When he met Lavender, he met his match. She can see through the walls that he has built to the true man that is behind them.Tyler's uncle Art is a sneaky one. When he passes away he leaves a stipulation on his will for Tyler. He has to live in the house for 90 days in order to keep it or it reverts over to Lavender and the Brotherhood. You know that Art had a trick up his sleeve when he came up with this clause. It seems that even from the grave Art was trying to pair his nephew and Lavender together.Overall I enjoyed this book. The author did a great job with this book. I did not read the first book in the series. So this is definitely a series that does not have to be read in exact order. Due to hot steamy scenes I recommend this one for ages 18+.**Disclaimer: I received this book from the author for the purposes of a honest review.
