This is definitely not a book you will forget anytime soon! The book is divided into 2 parts and there is a major plot twist at the end of part 1. I loved that there was a whole new change of direction for the second half of the book since I have found that books recently have been a bit too predictable!This book is an emotional roller coaster that takes you through the highs & lows of life!  The story revolves around Metin (a famous soccer player) & Alicia (a woman who just wants to play soccer professionally).This book is part of a series, but the books in the The Black Jack Gentlemen series are standalone focusing on people associated with a new expansion football (soccer) team in Detroit, USA.  If the other books in the series are anything like this one then they are sexy, intense reads that can have you crying, laughing & yelling at your book all within a short time!I am giving this book 4.5 stars since it kept me hooked enough to read it in one sitting of 6 hours! (I know, when do you get 6 hours to sit down? For me it was 2am - 8am!!!! I was jet-lagged this week from flying back from NYC to Melbourne). I had been to bed around 7pm the night before & just couldn't sleep! I had 4 days off before going back to work, so it just seemed right to read! After I picked up this book there was no way I was going back to bed anytime soon either!The characters are well developed with life-like sometimes irritating characteristics that make it all the more believable! I highly recommend you pick up and read this book if you like intense romances with a lot of angst! Don't expect it to be an easy read but it's worthwhile in the end!I was invited to be part of the Blog Tour for Red Card (The Black Jack Gentlemen #2) a part of a new series by Liz Crowe which I am very happy I agreed to!
