4.5 StarsOne Night with a Quarterback by Jeanette Murray is NOT your typical sports romance. It has an interesting storyline that does not revolve around the typical "I'm a hot jock lady killer" theme. Trey Owens, quarterback for the Santa Fe Bobcats is a sweet and sexy man who shies away from the media. He just wants to do his job and have a normal life. His popularity makes that impossible for him. When he meets Cassie Wainwright in a nightclub, and she has no clue who he is, he is intrigued at the possibility of being with someone that is not with him because of his fame. Cassie just wants one last night of fun before confronting a father she has never met - who just happens to be the head coach of the Santa Fe Bobcats. Yep, you can see where this is going. One night leads to another. They are drawn to each other, and both realize that their relationship is more than a one night stand. They get to know each other before the truth of their identities is revealed. When it surfaces, they are not willing to give up what they have with each other.Cassie grew up in Atlanta, thinking that her father just didn't want to be in her life. After her mother has a cancer scare, she tells Cassie the truth about who he is, AND that he does not know she exists. Cassie makes it her mission to get to know him and the family that she's never had. It turns out that she has a "not so nice" stepmother, and two teenage sisters. Cassie is a computer nerd and lives in Atlanta. She takes a leave of absence from her job and heads to New Mexico to get to know her father and her new family. I must say that Cassie has more perseverance that I would have in the same situation. She endures a snarky stepmother and half-sister, and being ignored by her father after traveling so far to get to know him. Trey is her only friend in Santa Fe, and makes her time there more bearable.The best part of the book for me was the banter between the characters. Cassie and Trey are fun to be with. You just want to hang out with them. Trey's team member/friends are also a funny and loyal group of guys. You can't help but love them. The sex scenes were hot and steamy - and not overdone. The plot was interesting and kept the pages turning. I am glad to see that this is a series. I can't wait to see what's next! I recommend!ARC provided courtesy of PENGUIN GROUP / Signet Romance via NetGalley for an honest review.
