BLURB
My plan is simple. Proposition a man and extend a challenge: help me accomplish something I’ve never been able to do before with past boyfriends.
But there are rules.
He needs to be a stranger and someone who won’t judge me if I can’t cross the finish line.
Luke Sorenson, one of the most famous soccer players in the world, isn’t meant to be that man. He’s the guy I grew up next door to. The man who broke my heart ten years ago, then moved across the country and never looked back.
He also happens to be the one person in the world I can’t stand.
But as my best friend points out, he’s the best option.
Besides, it’s only for one night. What can possibly go wrong?
***
The last person I expect to see when I walk into a random corner bar is Olivia Brighton, the one woman I let slip through my fingers when I chased my dream a decade ago.
Not only do I run into her again, but I offer to help her out with her dilemma, and she accepts.
It’s supposed to be a one-time occurrence. One shot to prove my skills in bed.
But that one shot turns into a deal, which morphs into something neither of us predicts.
One thing’s for certain—everything is about to get simply complicated.
Renee’s Five Star Review
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
This is the story of Luke and Olivia. They grew up together and he eventually left to chase his soccer career and broke her heart. So to him she is the one that got away. But to her he is the guy that she doesn’t like very much. But now she needs someone’s help to help her complete her mission and after all it is just one thing she needs and then it’s over and everyone can be on their merry way. Luke is perfect for this and her friends make her see that Luke is perfect. One night while back in town they accidently bump into each other and the proposition is made and accepted. But will it ever just be what Olivia needed from him or will Luke want so much more. You have to read to find out the answer to all these questions. I really loved these characters, their attraction and their banter. It was a the not so serious but oh so good read that I needed at the exact moment I needed it.

EXCERPT
Gripping the underneath of my backside, he raised me up his body. I locked my legs around his waist without instruction and returned his hungry kiss, our tongues dancing wildly together.
Typically, by this point, Luke would have said ten different dirty things to me, all of which would’ve turned me on even more, but so far, he hadn’t uttered a single word. He growled, made several noises, which I assumed were some variations of enjoyment, but not a single syllable was spoken.
Granted, I hadn’t said anything other than voicing my apology at being late and the half-truth as to why.
When he unhooked my ankles and tossed me onto the bed, looming near the edge, he gripped himself and stroked from base to tip. His stare was filled with desire, but his expression confused me. I’d come to enjoy the quick arch of his brow and the sexy smirk that usually appeared right before he licked his lips. But standing before me, he appeared to be indifferent. Was he angry with me?
