Nick has something Willow wants. But in order to get it, it comes with strings attached. Ones she’s not sure are a good idea. Ones she’s familiar with. And even though she knows there is the possibility that he will burn her… again, she accepts the terms and decides to go along with his little game.Willow has something Nick wants. And it’s pretty simple… her. All of her. And he’s determined to make her see that he’s the man she belongs with.Now don’t all good love stories begin with a little blackmail? Just kidding, Nick is so sweet that I don’t really think he knows the right way of going after a women that he actually wants, and one that he’s willing to keep forever. So he does it the only way he knows how, and in some ways he actually made it work. I kind of felt sorry for the poor sap at times though. He seemed to get conflicting advice from his friends. It’s a good thing he stuck with it and eventually got what he wanted.Now as much as Willow and her insecure, poor me attitude made me want to shake the ever living sh!t out of her, Nick’s swoony, smooth talking, football-stud-hunkiness, with just the right amount of alpha male, totally made the story and kept me wanting more from him. And to tell you the truth, I would still like some more of him! Now, I wasn’t always hating on Willow. She was strong willed; determine to succeed without any help from her sometimes overbearing rich daddy. Yes, she was wronged by Nick in the past, but she really doesn’t know the truth why he left her behind the first time. No one can really fault a young up-and-coming football player for doing what he did either, he made the right decision for him, at the time.I would have liked to replace Willow in the book with someone more like myself. Who’d be at his mercy day and night. On second thought… that story would have only been about lots of hot steamy sex, with no actual plot, and who wants to read that? Not I! That’s right, leave the story line to the professionals. I guess on that thought, Willow does add some feistiness and boldness to the story. I suppose she wasn’t all that bad, she was just protecting her heart, and I sort of get that. And kudos to her for being able to resist Nick as long as she did. If Nick loves her and momma Hamilton loves her, then I guess I can too. Just as long as she makes him happy.I also love that Karen still gave us glimpses of Jared and Sheridan from the first book in the series, Game for Marriage, I’ve seriously missed those two.Karen never fails to give us the steamy sex and I especially liked the restaurant roof top at the Wharf. And Willow definitely had me laughing at her silly little leg routine, you’ll need to read it to find out what I mean. I hope you’ll enjoy the story as much as I did, and now it starts all over again, with the long wait for the next book in the series.flag
