Rating: 4 out of 5

There were several things in Jackie Barbosa's Skin in the Game that I really liked which added up to me giving it 4 stars. First, football. Second, female football coach that has all the guys drooling after her. Third, the geeky high school girl growing up into the sexy female football coach that has her high school crush setting his sights on her. What more could a hopeless romantic who loves sports, like myself, ask for? Oh yeah, a drop dead sexy leading man. Good thing Cade Reynolds fills that role completely.Cade finds himself back in his hometown after an injury that may be the end of his NFL quarterback career. He owes his high school football coach for everything he did for him, so he is back to his old stomping ground, and taking over as Head Coach.In walks Angie Peterson, the girl who loves football and can call strategies and plays better than most. Being the assistant female coach of the high school football team comes with its challenges, but life gets harder when her high school crush, Cade, takes an interest in her, but doesn't remember who she is.Their relationship becomes more complicated when Angie feels like her position and potential job as Head Coach of the team is threatened when she learns of Cade taking over.If that isn't enough, throw in the media and Cade's looming career choices and these two head on a rollercoaster ride neither of them intended.Jackie writes strong characters that bring you in right from the beginning and you never want to let them go. Cade and Angie's tale is marvelous and I'm hoping for a second book that features Rachel and Warren!(I received an ARC for my honest review and this is my honest to goodness, straight from the heart review!)www.caretocommentanne.blogspot.com
