I saw the cover, read the synopsis,  and I was sold. Sexy athlete books just do it for me. What I liked about this one though was that there was a good story there too. While this wasn't a couple that was reunited, they did 'know' each other in high school. It was fun to watch them interact with each other.I'll start with Cade. He was super hot. He knows what he wants and isn't afraid of a challenge. Cade was injured, so he has some time off. He goes home to help his old high school coach. He's supposed to supervise one of the Assistant Coaches, not completely take over. So, on his first day home, he sees a woman in the coffee shop. There is something vaguely familiar about her, but he can't pinpoint what it is. They make a date and have one explosive night together.Angie always like Cade, but she was a bit geeky. She's not that girl anymore. Now, she's confident and determined to succeed. She wants to take over as Head Football Coach for the high school team. She's definitely qualified for the job. She's smart and has a talent for making plays. But Cade shakes her up a bit. She's quickly falling for him even though she feels like he's trying to take her job. Once she figured out that he's not after her job, he's after her, she allows herself to fall in love.Cade and Angie were really hot together. The sex scenes were hot, but maybe a little more mild than other Brazen books that I've read. That certainly won't deter me from continuing with the series though. My favorite scene between them was their first sex scene together. There was an unguarded feeling to it, a bit wild. It was pretty darn hot!Overall, I really enjoyed Skin in the Game. This is the first book of Barbosa's that I've read and I really enjoyed her style. I look forward to continuing on with this series. If you're a fan of Sports Romance, check this one out!
