Complimentary copy provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.I hate it when books kind of sneak up on you. You expect a book to be one thing and it turns out to be so much more than what you had planned on. This was one of those types of books. To be honest, I was going into it thinking hot quarterback, pretty girl, they get together, sparks fly, they can’t be together, angst, angst, angst, happily ever after. You know the kind, right?Yeah, we have a little bit of that formula in this book, but it turns out there was a heck of a lot more to it.Cassie has arrived in Santa Fe to meet the man she never knew was her father. She, and her friend Anya decide to hit the club scene for one last night before Cassie’s life changes forever. See, her father is none other that the beloved head coach of the Santa Fe Bobcats football organization. He is married with two teenage daughter of his own and is a very Christian, very conservative man whom is very active in the community. There is bound to be fallout in the press, not only because there is a lovechild that has been hidden away for nearly 30 years, but that the father of that lovechild is someone who is high on the “family values” horse. At the club that night, Cassie’s looking for little more than to hookup one last time and when she meets the hot stranger, Trey Owens. Trey is out at the club in disguise as he is the starting quarterback for the Bobcats. Trey puts the moves on Cassie and soon they’re back at her hotel room for a night of debauchery.Soon though, Trey becomes enamored with Cassie. She’s not like other girls; she has no idea who he is so he knows that she’s not with him for fame or money. But things get messy in a hurry when Cassie’s father comes down hard and says that she cannot pursue any relationships until the media storm has died down and their relationship is figured out. The problem is, Cassie has the stepmom from hell. To say she is a tiger mom would be an understatement. Cassie’s two younger half-siblings want nothing more than to know and be a part of their sister’s life, yet the evil step-mom thinks that Cassie is a terrible influence and finally forbids them to see her. Cassie takes the fall for the girls’ reckless behavior (behavior that is relatively normal for that age) and finally decides that back home in Atlanta is where she needs to be.One Night With a Quarterback was a fast, easy read. It immediately sucked me in and I read it in pretty much one sitting. It was fun, well written, and certainly steamy. The characters were well developed and likeable, and the plot, while a little on the predictable side was fast paced and kept me interested. This would be a great summer beach read as we count down the days to the preseason. This was a solid four stars and I will definitely be onboard for the rest of this series, it as definitely a lot of fun.
