I really liked Tempting the Tight End. The chemistry between Asher and Desiree was smoking hot, almost palpable, and the steam in this book hit just right. There were a few issues with consistency (an event is supposed to be the next day, but suddenly it’s that night, etc), but nothing that took me out of the story too much. The overprotective father toed the line of being too much for me, but it’s not generally my favorite trope. The author, publisher, and promoters should also make it known that there is a controversial trope thrown in about 2/3 of the way in that causes all the third act drama. I know for a lot of readers, it’s an automatic DNF when this trope comes out to play. For a contemporary sports romance, this book didn’t have the typical team banter that I’m used to, and it’s interesting delving into that. I kind of loved that the author threw in a tiny, little, specific kink in the epilogue; I’m here for it! Overall, I thought this book was well done!

I received an ARC of Tempting the Tight End from Valentine PR. I am leaving this review voluntarily.
