Game Winner by Collette West
Genre: Adult, Contemporary Romance
Series: New York Kings
Playing center field for
the New York Kings, Jake Woodbury has one of the most prestigious jobs in all
of sports. To the world, he's the good-looking, soft-spoken minister's son
who’s survived celebrity without a hint of scandal. But, inside, he's reeling
from a secret that seems destined to haunt him forever.
Scarlett Moore is one of
the biggest pop stars on the planet, famous for singing about her celebrity
ex-boyfriends. The CEO of her record label has carefully honed her provocative
image since she was fifteen. Sex sells, and Scarlett’s well aware that it takes
more than talent to stay on top.
One
thing is clear: She’s the last thing Jake needs. And he’s the do-gooder jock
she should avoid at all costs. But when the game begins, all bets are off.
Opposites definitely attract in the newest book in the NY Kings series. Jake and Scarlett are about as different as two people can be, except for their love of music. Jake's image is squeaky clean, while Scarlett puts is all out there with her music. But all is not as it seems as Jake deals with guilt over events from his past and Scarlett tries to break free from the image her record label has created. Their connection - both emotionally and physically - is amazing and had me rooting for them to figure out how to have all they both deserve. As a fan of baseball, I love that the game is an important part of the story and not just a backdrop. I've loved this series so far and I hope their are more books to come!
I received an ARC for the purpose of an honest review. I was not compensated for this review, all conclusions are my own.
Collette West grew up as somewhat of a jock-nerd hybrid. Entering the world three weeks premature, her dad nearly missed her birth because he had seats behind the dugout for a sold-out, highly-anticipated match-up between two of baseball's biggest rivals. Not to be outdone, her book-loving mom taught her how to read by the time she was three. A love of the game coupled with an appreciation for the written word were instilled in Collette's impressionable brain from a young age. No wonder her characters believe in the philosophy: sports + romance = a little slice of heaven.
Splitting her time between the Pocono Mountains and Manhattan, Collette indulges her inner fangirl by going to as many games as she can from hockey to baseball and downloading every sports romance novel in existence onto her iPad. When she's not clicking away on her laptop, she enjoys walking her dog in Central Park, satisfying her caffeine craving at the Starbucks on Broadway and keeping an eye out for Mr. Right. But above all, she loves dishing with her readers. Email her at collette_west@yahoo.com.
She is the author of NIGHT GAMES, GAME CHANGER and GAME ON.
