Matthew<\/strong><\/p>\n Drafted first round pick when I was seventeen, playing first line at eighteen, branded NHL’s bad boy at nineteen. At twenty-three I was cut from the team and living back home with my parents.\u00a0 A knock on the door brought an opportunity I couldn\u2019t turn down. All I had to do was prove I learned from my mistakes, so no way would I fall for a chick with a pouty mouth even if I wanted to spend all day devouring it.<\/p>\n Karrie<\/strong><\/p>\n When my father gave me a job, I had no idea it would be to babysit some washed up NHL player. He wanted me to be his chaperone, his overpaid babysitter. I thought it was a joke. Then I met him, Matthew Grant. I wasn\u2019t prepared for this particular bad boy. He\u2019s not only hot but he\u2019s arrogant and kinda sweet in a ‘you make me crazy’ kind of way.\u00a0 Basically now that he\u2019s finished screwing up his life, he\u2019s decided to turn mine upside down.<\/p>\n She\u2019s the first thing I\u2019ve ever wanted more than hockey.<\/p>\n He\u2019s the guy I know I should stay away from.<\/p>\n But what if this thing that started out so wrong turns into something so perfect?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Add to Goodreads<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 4 alpha caveman stars!<\/b><\/p>\n I loved this book! A funny, sweet and sexy sports romance with an alpha caveman, a strong and feisty heroine with a habit of talking to herself, and a functional and angst-free love story that had me alternately swooning, grinning goofily and fanning myself at the hotness. This read was a lot of fun but still had a beautifully emotional love story, and I read it in a day, struggling to put it down.<\/p>\n This book follows on from Something So Right<\/a>, but could be read as a standalone (just be aware that there is some family backstory \u2013 though the important bits are rehashed). This is the story of Matthew Grant \u2013 we met him as the strong, big-hearted teenager of a single mother who married an NHL legend \u2013 and he is now an NHL legend in his own right, but for all the wrong reasons.<\/p>\n Matthew was drafted into the league at 17, and he lost himself to the party lifestyle, which eventually impacted his game and saw him almost lose his career. Now, several years later he is getting his second chance, but with his new team desperate to protect their investment, they appoint him a full-time guardian. Matthew is highly unimpressed at this development, but is even more shocked when he finds that his \u2018babysitter\u2019 isn\u2019t a burly old man like he expected, but instead is a hot young woman whose smart mouth and refusal to give in to him has him riled up in a way he\u2019s never been before. And, she\u2019s the boss\u2019s daughter.<\/p>\n Karrie\u2019s father owns Matthew\u2019s team (among other things). She is working her way up in his company, specialising in media and public relations, and so she\u2019s horrified that she\u2019s now going to be babysitting an arrogant, manwhoring brat. She believes she can ignore how gorgeous he is, and the way her body reacts to him, but her one attempt at sex didn\u2019t go so well, and her pent-up need and curiosity has her feeling edgy, and when Matthew moves into her brownstone being all demanding and alpha, it doesn\u2019t take long before everything changes.<\/p>\n I loved this relationship! I was expecting a slow burn as these two strong personalities snark and banter with each other, but their attraction is too strong, their chemistry sizzles, and Matthew moves with the force of a tidal wave. He knows what he wants, he goes for it, and he won\u2019t take no for an answer.<\/p>\n \u201cThis, me, you. It\u2019s happening. I\u2019m going to kiss you,\u201d I tell her, running my tongue out while I kiss her neck. \u201cI\u2019m going to come home and come to your bed. Or you can come to mine, but\u201d \u2013 I kiss her lips again \u2013 \u201cMake no mistake about it. This thing is happening.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Of course, Karrie, though a little wary, is only too keen to go along with it, and then it\u2019s all on! It\u2019s quick moving, but it felt realistic to me. Matthew and Karrie are together 24\/7, and that kind of intensity allows for a fast-paced relationship, and with the attraction and emotion that is brewing between them, I could feel it all along with them.<\/p>\n This woman \u2026 has embedded herself in me and I have no idea how I lived without her.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Their relationship is a great mix of banter and teasing, scorchingly hot sexy time and sweet moments. Matthew\u2019s caveman antics, while sometimes OTT, are so funny, and I love how openly he embraces the whole relationship thing \u2013 opening himself up for the first time, and holding nothing back from Karrie. And the emotion builds beautifully.<\/p>\n \u201cYou look at me and see me. That makes you worth everything.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n There are some things they need to overcome \u2013 mostly, the secretive nature of their relationship, given that they work together and who Karrie\u2019s father is. And then there\u2019s the dramatic twist that\u2019s thrown in in the prologue. You know it\u2019s coming, and you\u2019re waiting for it to hit, wondering how it\u2019s all going to come about and how it will impact on their story. But for the most part, this book is drama and angst free, and a really easy read. It\u2019s a gorgeous love story with great characters that is lots of fun, and shows us lots of time with them together as a couple, and great progression for their relationship.<\/p>\n \u201cEvery breath I take is for you.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Matthew\u2019s parents, Cooper and Parker from Something So Right<\/i>, are of course a part of the story, and I loved catching up with them and their family. And Lauren and Austin from Tempt the Boss<\/a> also make an appearance, which I loved! There is a lead in to the next book of the series which will be Allison\u2019s \u2013 Matthew\u2019s feisty younger sister \u2013 and OMG, what a twist that was! I can\u2019t wait for her story!<\/p>\n I loved this book. It\u2019s lots of fun, and I loved losing myself in a hot, swoony, easy, drama-free read that had me hooked from start to finish. And bonus \u2013 there\u2019s not one, but two fantastic epilogues! Woohoo!<\/p>\n A fantastic read – 4 stars.<\/p>\n An Advanced Review Copy was generously provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.<\/i><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Something So Right (#1)<\/strong>\u00a0(Cooper & Parker) Something So Perfect (#2)<\/strong> (Matthew & Karrie) Something So Irresistible (#3)<\/strong> (Max & Allison) Something So Unscripted (#4)<\/strong> (Zack & Denise) Lots of spin-offs for this one!

It\u2019s a one-year contract for two point one million, as per your agent.\u201d He smiles at me because I don\u2019t have an agent. I have Cooper. \u201cWe also have the stipulation clause. I know last time you weren\u2019t happy with some of them, but it\u2019s the only way we can both win.\u201d He opens the folder in front of him. \u201cYou will be living in a brownstone in Brooklyn.\u201d The page flips over while he continues to read. \u201cYour chaperone will live with you.\u201d He looks up, waiting to see if I\u2019ll say something, and I almost say fuck off. \u201cIt\u2019s a three-story brownstone. You each have your own floor to do as you please.\u201d<\/p>\n I nod at him. It isn\u2019t as bad as I thought and maybe me and my roommate will be each other\u2019s wing man. \u201cYour chaperone will be at your side each time you go out. Especially, game day and traveling. Of course you will each have your own room when traveling, but it will be connecting.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI hope this guy is up for Netflix and working out.\u201d I smile at them, my hand itchy to sign the papers before I call it all off.<\/p>\n Doug gets up, going to the phone on the table, pressing a couple of buttons. \u201cCan you come to the conference room, please?\u201d He hangs up right after.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you mess up even once, your contract is null and void,\u201d Doug says, sitting down just as the door opens and I turn my head to stare at the person who just walked in.<\/p>\n \u201cYou?\u201d I stand up, looking back at the other people at the table. The chick from the gym walks in, this time wearing black tight pants and a white button-down shirt, rolled up at the wrists. \u201cIs this a joke?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI can assure you I had the same reaction when I was asked,\u201d she says sternly. \u201cI don\u2019t want this any more than you do, but it is what it is.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cShe tried to pick me up yesterday.\u201d I put my hands on my hips, telling the table.<\/p>\n \u201cAre you insane?\u201d she huffs out, her voice rising. \u201cYou and your anatomy landed on me.\u201d She looks at Doug. \u201cRight in my back.\u201d<\/p>\n I roll my eyes at her.<\/p>\n \u201cKarrie,\u201d Doug says, looking at her.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat?\u201d She shrugs at him. \u201cHe couldn\u2019t even contain himself, and he thinks I tried to pick him up.\u201d She looks at me. \u201cYou wish.\u201d<\/p>\n I pfft out. \u201cPlease, one word and you would have come home with me.\u201d I look at the men in front of me. \u201cYou guys can\u2019t be serious.\u201d I then look back at Karrie.\u00a0 \u201cBesides, how old is she? Twelve?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cPervert. I would have pulled the fire alarm and kicked you in the nuts.\u201d She crosses her arms over her chest, making her tits strain against the buttons. \u201cEither way you would have ended up in the same place. Alone. With bruised nuts.\u201d<\/p>\n Robert slaps the table. \u201cThat\u2019s enough, you two.\u201d He looks at both of us. \u201cNow, you two have a lot of catching up to do. I will forward you both the travel schedule.\u201d He stands up, grabbing the papers, and slapping me on the shoulder. \u201cGood to have you.\u201d<\/p>\n Coach Dan gets up also, smirking at me while I stand here speechless that they allow a girl to chaperone me. Not just any girl, the hottest fucking girl I\u2019ve ever set eyes on. I had to take care of myself three times since I stumbled on her.<\/p>\n \u201cYou two try not to kill each other.\u201d Dan looks at Karrie. \u201cBe good, sweetheart.\u201d And he kisses her cheek.<\/p>\n \u201cReally?\u201d I throw my hands in the air. \u201cDoes no one think this is a ridiculous idea?\u201d I look around the room and the only one left is Doug, who gets up.<\/p>\n \u201cI think it\u2019s the best thing to ever happen to you.\u201d He walks over to squeeze my shoulder. \u201cBut if you make my little girl cry\u201d\u2014he leans in, whispering\u2014\u201cthey won\u2019t find your body.\u201d<\/p>\n My mouth opens and closes, and then opens again, not a sound coming out.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When her nose isn\u2019t buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing, she\u2019s in the kitchen creating gourmet meals. You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. It\u2019s a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn\u2019t listen to her\u2026<\/p>\n Goodreads<\/b><\/a>\u00a0 |\u00a0 <\/strong>Twitter<\/b><\/a>\u00a0 |\u00a0<\/strong> Facebook<\/b><\/a>\u00a0 |\u00a0<\/strong> Instagram<\/b><\/a>\u00a0 |\u00a0 <\/b>Amazon<\/b><\/a> Readers Group <\/b><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Amazon\u00a0 |\u00a0 iBooks\u00a0 |\u00a0 Nook\u00a0 |\u00a0 Koko Synopsis Matthew Drafted first round pick when I was seventeen, playing first line at eighteen, branded NHL’s bad boy at nineteen.
