Griff Montgomery, Quarterback by Jean C. Joachim Blog Tour

He wants to find a wife. She doesn’t want to marry again –ever. Not exactly a match made in heaven. Ten years ago, Griff Montgomery, star quarterback of the Kings and womanizer, became a stand-in father for his widowed sister’s kids. His happy family life collapsed when she and her new husband moved to California.  Griff wants his own family. But where does a “player” go to find his ideal mate?

Having sworn off marriage forever, Lauren Farraday barely kept her life together after her divorce. With her career shaky and depression closing in, the last thing she needed was a courtroom battle with a sexy athlete.

Forced, by a judge, into an uneasy truce, the pair denied their growing chemistry. Wary of Griff’s reputation with women, and hiding a secret, Lauren keeps him at arm’s length. Determined, Griff marches toward his goal. Can the quarterback handle the truth or will he walk away, like he always has in the past?

“What else are you good at, besides grilling and throwing a football?”

“Do you want the PG version or X-rated?” He snickered, his dark eyes dancing with mischief as they skimmed over her skimpy robe, making her shiver.

She laughed.

Griff slipped his hand over her free one. “Or should I show you?” His gaze settled on her lips.

She finished chewing and sat back, checking him out again. His muscles were nicely defined, and the sprinkling of dark chest hair tempted her fingers. She ached to touch him, but resisted. He’s a womanizer. He’ll leave you. He’ll hurt you. “Don’t think so.” She removed her hand to cut another piece of meat.

Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
I am huge sports romance fan, so was delighted that this was the next on my list to read. It takes a different slant on the Alpha male player, as Griff has been helping raise his nephew and niece for the last ten years. That is not to say that he has been an angel, but now they have moved away, he realises that he misses family life and needs to make his own. I also felt that this book successfully avoided overplaying the celebrity angle really well. Through a run of coincidences that are so unlikely that they are probably based on a true story, he meets Lauren, and their adventures begin. Hot, sexy, but also full of honest communication make this a book to really savour. I loved it until a certain event, and then I did feel that it was highly unlikely to play out that way. But the situation was rescued, and the ending was definitely worth the angst.
