I had no idea this book was part of a series when I first started it, and yet it read fine as a stand-alone.I REALLY LIKED this book so much, that the pages were turning quickly and I had a very hard time putting it down.I absolutely LOVED the hero Nick, he was so darn sexy. He knew what he wanted, Willow, and went after her. They were a couple 6 years earlier and Nick had been in love with Willow. He was young at 21 years old, and had just started his profession football career. Willow was just 19 when she first met Nick, and the two of them were HOT and HEAVY. In steps Willow's dad, who thought Nick was not good enough, figured their relationship would never last, and that Nick would break his daughter's heart. So, he threatened to ruin Nicks football career if he did not break it off with Willow. Willow was crushed when Nick dumped her, and of course she had no idea it was because of her dad. When Nick turns up 6 years later trying for a second chance to win Willow back, she wants nothing to do with him even if deep down she still very much wants him. Nick finally finds a way to get Willow to give in and spend time with him, by blackmailing her into going on 8 dates with him. The banter these two shared when they were together was really something. Every time they started to argue, they ended up getting it on hot and heavy. PHEW-WEEE, theses scenes were SCORCHING, the chemistry between these two SIZZLED!!! After they dated quite a few times and things were going good, Nick slips and ends up telling Willow why he broke it off all those years ago. Willow did not react the way I thought she would, instead she gets angry and they end up separated once again. This made me want to hit her upside her head and ask...what's the matter with you?We did get some football scenes that I enjoyed and thought were a very exciting way to add some action to this read. I also enjoyed reading about Willow's career. It was a very original idea and I liked that even though her family was VERY wealthy, she stood on her own and started a business with no help from daddy.In the end, Nick decided that there was NO WAY he was going to be without Willow. I absolutely LOVED the way this book ended and YES we got an epilogue that made me a very happy reader.Overall, I thought this was a fun and an Oh SO HOT romantic read. I would love to read many more of Karen Erickson's books in the future.
