"So much passion and intensity that you wouldn't expect in a sports romance, but once again, Lauren Blakely BRINGS IT” ~Shayna Renee Spicy Reads
The first rule of football--don't screw with a streak.
My career is finally looking up, and I'm leading a new pro team down the field every Sunday. No way will I mess with that. But when I meet the most stunning and captivating woman I've ever seen, I tell myself one night will have to be enough.
But it's not. And now I can't get her out of my mind. Even when I'm playing. Even when I need to focus. Even when I’m on the hottest streak of my life.
And it turns out, she's not just some random woman I met. She works for the team. My team.
***
I only have one goal this season--do my part as the team's lawyer to keep them out of trouble. Help rebuild their reputation on and off the field. There's no room for error and certainly no room for a secret tryst with a player . . . even if he's the quarterback.
Right?
Review
(by Cindy)
Whether it’s a full length novel or a sweet and sexy
novella, Lauren Blakely always delivers. Out of Bounds is Lauren’s latest
release, and just in time for the weekend!
A chance meeting between two strangers, sparks fly, along
with the flirts, but ends with "nice meeting you" and the two walk
away. Okay, so maybe the theme isn’t new, but Out of Bounds brings a delightful
twist to a familiar story in a way that only author Lauren Blakely can.
Professionals, each at the top of their respective
professions, Drew and Dani are the right blend of smart and fun, flirty and
sexy. I love what they each contributed to the story. The characters are
equally confident and intelligent, making for a dramatic romance, but without
the drama. It is the perfect one-sitting read.
Five Stars!

Excerpt
“Be on your best
behavior, Drew,” he says, a teasing tone in his voice.
“I always am,” I reply, and the fact is, that’s true. Clean-cut is my nickname.
“And text if you’re done early.”
“If I’m done early, I’m having a date with my mattress.”
He groans. “You are the definition of no fun.”
I grin. “That’s me. That’s why Qwench wants me now. Because I know how to get a
good night’s sleep and stay out of the line of fire.”
When I hang up, I step out of the car, hand the keys to the valet, and thank
him. Then I head inside, where Stuart greets me in the room reserved for the
event, claps me on the back, and introduces me to several people. A
photographer snaps shots the whole time, and I play the role that’s hardly a
role—the outgoing, non-trouble-making, peace-loving quarterback who doesn’t
throw punches or raise fists, like others before me have.
Don’t smoke, don’t do drugs, don’t have unprotected sex, and I also don’t
speed. Squeaky clean indeed. Not even a traffic ticket on the record, and
certainly no knocked-up teenyboppers with mini Drews baking in their bellies.
Stuart introduces me to the red-haired, freckle-faced guy who heads up this
charity. “And this is Drew Erickson. He’s our new starter. We’re thrilled to
have him on the team, especially since he’s already active with many wonderful
charitable endeavors,” Stuart says to the ginger-haired guy.
We exchange small talk for a few minutes, then Stuart drops a hand on my
shoulder and tells me there’s someone else he wants me to meet. “I’d love to
introduce you to a sharp-as-a-tack woman who makes sure I don’t fumble,” he
says, then winks in case I didn’t realize he was making a joke.
I smile to let him know I got it—fumbling humor and all—then my smile turns
into a ruler-straight line when I turn on my heels and see my surfer angel.
Holy shit. She’s hot as sin in a red skirt, white blouse, and black heels. She
holds a drink. Her blond hair is twisted on her head. Damn. The smoking-hot
look is almost enough to make me forget she blew me off. My dick, the
traitorous bastard, has already come down with amnesia. The fucker wants her.
“This is Dani Paige. She’s an attorney for the team,” he says, and I attempt to
school my expression as I come face-to-face with the woman who ditched me.
And all I want to do is toss her on my shoulder, stalk to the bathroom, slam
the door, and ask her why the fuck she didn’t call. Then when she tells me it
was because she was too busy getting off to thoughts of me, I’d kiss the hell
out of her until she melted in my arms and begged me to take her. I’d happily
oblige. Hoist her up, hook her legs around my hips, and fuck her against the
wall until she comes harder than she ever has before.
Instead, I shake her free hand. “Pleasure to meet you.” Then I whisper, just
for her. “Jaws.”
