REVIEW
Title: The Perfect Play
Series: A Play-by-Play Novel #1
Author: Jaci Burton
Release Date: February 1, 2011
Football pro Mick Riley is an all-star, both on the field and in the bedroom. But a sexy, determinedly single mom just might be the one to throw him off his game…
For years Mick has been taking full advantage of the life available to a pro athlete: fame, fortune, and a different girl in every city. But when he meets and beds confident, beautiful event planner Tara Lincoln, he wants much more than the typical one-night stand. Too bad Tara’s not interested in getting to know football’s most notorious playboy any better.
As the single mother of a teenage son, the last thing Tara needs is the jet-set lifestyle of Mick Riley; even though their steamy and passionate one-night stand was unforgettable. Tara’s life is complicated enough without being thrust into the spotlight as Mick’s latest girl du jour. Tara played the game of love once and lost big, and she doesn’t intend to put herself out there again, especially with a heartbreaker like Mick.
But when Mick sets his mind to win, nothing will stop him. And he has the perfect play in mind.

This series has been in my TBR for way too long. I finally got to check out the first book and now I have a new series AND a new author to fangirl over!
I loved Mick and Tara. Mick may have been a well-known professional football player but he's so down to earth that you almost forgot he's a celebrity. Full of charm and sex appeal, he also has his flaws and that makes you love him even more. He's so real.
Tara is put together. She's made a success of her life despite a few bumps along the way, ones she wouldn't trade for the world. She's strong and independent, and has made herself a life without the help of anyone, let alone a man.
They both need each other in different ways, and despite the obstacles, they're really good for each other.
It was a great read with all the feels and enough intrigue to have me ready to read the next one.
