Blurb<\/strong><\/h4>\n

A virgin, an athlete, a fake romance, and only one bed in the hotel room.<\/b><\/p>\n

Following rules shot me to the top of my game as an all-star baseball player, and the golden rule is this — don\u2019t hookup with your teammate\u2019s sister.<\/p>\n

But ask her to be your fake date when you desperately need one for a family wedding? Nothing in the guy code against that. Plus, the flirty, feisty Sierra\u2019s my friend too, so why the hell not pretend we\u2019re madly in lust for two days in Hawaii?<\/p>\n

No hardship in a make believe kiss here, a fake smooch there, as long as we don\u2019t cross any dangerous lines.<\/p>\n

Then, the hotel books us into the same suite. Which means she\u2019s showering near me, putting on itty bitty bikinis in the same room, sliding into that king-size bed wearing only a black lace cami.<\/p>\n

But I resist…until the night she tells me she\u2019s been waiting for me to be her first. And there\u2019s nothing fake about my desire to say yes, even though that\u2019s definitely against the code. But, maybe only if someone catches feelings? And neither one of us will.<\/p>\n

Until I do\u2026<\/p>\n

Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n

4.5 \u201cI can be impulsive with you\u201d stars! <\/strong><\/p>\n

Since the moment Chance laid eyes on Sierra, he had a crush. However, Sierra is the sister of his teammate, Grant, and he refuses to break the bro code that makes Sierra off limits. When he needs a date to a wedding that Sierra is already attending, they decide to fake date so he doesn\u2019t have to deal with his ex. Little do they know they won\u2019t need to be pretend for long because they fall hard and fast, and I loved every second of the ride!!<\/p>\n

Chance and Sierra have mad chemistry and the obvious attraction makes the fake date feel real and natural when they are together.\u00a0Since neither want a relationship, they decide to enjoy the weekend together and Chance is sure he won\u2019t break the bro code by breaking her heart.\u00a0But hearts do get involved and I loved that Chance and Sierra are exactly what the other didn\u2019t know they needed.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re on the brink of something. A crossroads in our friendship where maybe we both want it to go to the next level. <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

They are open and honest about who they are and what they want. They are easy going and comfortable with each other which makes the progression from friends to lovers believable. They have so much fun together when they are just being themselves and I loved their relationship.<\/p>\n

We taste like the kind of deep, wild connection I\u2019ve never had. I don\u2019t know what we are, or what we\u2019re doing. All I know is I don\u2019t want us to end.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Overall, The Virgin Replay<\/i> is a lighthearted, feel-good read that made me grin from ear to ear, and a fantastic addition to the Rules of Love<\/i> series. There is no real drama, only humor, heart, and a whole lot of heat, and even two sweet epilogues. I loved it!<\/p>\n
