One Night With A Quarteback is book one in Jeanette Murray’s new series ‘The Santa Fe Bobcats’. I have been a fan of Jeanette’s books since I stumbled across her ‘Sempre Fi’ series last year and feel in love with it, so the prospect of a new series based around American Footballers makes me a happy girl.he had his secrets. She had hers.I really liked parts of this book; Trey and Cassie when they were together were great, and the whole not 100% sure who the other really was theme. I loved the locker room banter between him and his team-mates, as well as Cassie and her best friend Anya. The sexy times were hot and well written, and the development of their relationship as a whole was sweet, and well timed.He had to be in construction, or landscaping, or some mode of physical work that explained that amazing body. That was no desk-sitting body.”You order a pizza?” ...“I didn’t, but you look good enough to eat. I’ll take one of you instead.”What got a little grating and for me felt a little over the top was the whole family drama Cassie was dealing with at the same time. I disliked her father, step-mother and step-sisters intensely, especially towards the end when she literally just gets dumped on by the lot of them in an attempt for them all to cover their own backs for their failings as a family. It all got a bit much, and add to that the situation with her mother, as well as Trey and his team-mates, at points the story felt a little ‘overloaded’.Saying that, I still enjoyed it, we have been given insight into a few of the other players on the team as well, so the development potential is huge for this series. Killian is next up in Loving Him Off the Field, due out in October, and I am looking forward to seeing where Jeanette takes us.ARC provided via Netgalley, in exchange for the above honest review.
