Update 12/27/15 - The Game Plan was one of my Top 10 Picks of 2015. See what other books made my list on Badass Book Reviews

Loved, loved, loved The Game Plan!

There's so much to love about this book. The hero Dex is an NFL football player - he's big, muscled, tattooed, and quite the imposing figure. He's compared to Jason Momoa's Khal Drago, only blond. Dex is a down to earth kind of guy, preferring to hang out with his friends over the sports groupies that throw themselves at the players. An ...more

I bought this book becausse gentle giant, beard, smart, football plarying, virgin beta hero...Yeah. I am so in.

Andy Dex was wonderful. The heat level of this book was lava in terms of sexual tenison and delivery as well.

Those were the good parts.

The heroine was very flawed which is a good think but because the plot gave in to unneeded drama she never got the chance to grow.

The basic conflict in the love of living in to different cities and the heroine's background was enough. The other confl ...more

Ethan Dexter & Fiona Mackenzie

Ethan Dexter is definitely book boyfriend material. Not only because of the way he is with Fi, but also because **studded c*ck**

Dex has had a thing for Fiona basically since he met her, but the timing was always off to act on it. Finally, their both in San Fran to visit Ivy (Fi's sister) and Gray (Dex's friend & Fi's bother-in-law), and there is nothing keeping him from acting on his feelings.

Fi has vowed to never date an athlete due to how her father treated her m ...more

4.5 stars

Must be something about those sisters! Or maybe it’s the fact that Ethan Dexter is just sex on legs. I mean the man is a walking contradiction what with the sexy lumbersexual look, the man bun, the carefully trimmed beard, then add to that all the tats and piercings and the fact he is artsy and designed all those tats, not just a jock. Be still my beating heart! And….he’s a virgin. Gah! I die.

He’s that guy you can depend on and count on to be a rock and the strength of a group. Now 4.5 stars

Must be something about those sisters! Or maybe it’s the fact that Ethan Dexter is just sex on legs. I mean the man is a walking contradiction what with the sexy lumbersexual look, the man bun, the carefully trimmed beard, then add to that all the tats and piercings and the fact he is artsy and designed all those tats, not just a jock. Be still my beating heart! And….he’s a virgin. Gah! I die.

He’s that guy you can depend on and count on to be a rock and the strength of a group. Now out of college and playing professionally for the NFL for a while, he’s more grounded in his life and he also thinks that the woman he had set his sights on a few years back might just be ready to notice him. And that’s always been Fiona, Ivy’s little sister.

I’ve already waxed poetic about why Dex is more than amazing and totally book boyfriend material but lets not forget about Fi. She’s a take charge kind of girl, not intimidated by many things and certainly she doesn’t shy away from her wants and feelings for Dex when it would’ve been easily something another author could’ve used as drama. Their romance is straight forward, sweet, explosively hot (did I mention the piercings?). What Dex lacks in experience he makes up in single minded focus to make his woman happy. In and out of the bedroom. Refer to ultimate book boyfriend material part.

Although maybe I found some of the “big blow out” reactions on both Fiona and Dex’s part a bit unrealistic and over the top, that was my only sort of complain about the whole story. So that’s almost perfect! And THIS is my favorite book in the series. Not sure how you can top Ethan Dexter in my book! Now I think I’m positively ready for the m/m story with ‘Londo.

Favorite quotes:

“I want to be someone’s necessity, and for them to be mine.”

“…she tastes like addiction.”

“I have no idea what Myla is, darlin’, but they’re soon to be wrapped around my cock. If I can’t have you, I’m fucking the panties.”
With that, the big bastard hangs up.

“If you want only one woman, the rest is just noise.” ...more

Man, I am just loving this series. The Friend Zone was so awesome, it's one of the three books I debated between for GoodReads 2015 BBotY in Romance. Naturally, I've been eagerly awaiting this release.

The Game Plan was a well written, highly entertaining read. It was great revisiting characters from the previous books, but it was Ethan who captured and held my attention throughout. Intelligent, funny, and quietly intense, Ethan can come across as a big, cuddly teddy bear, but get Fi within arms ...more
