    About this ebook

    After a long history with crappy guys, high school teacher Em Newman is going man-vegan. Four months of revirginization has opened her eyes to her doormat imitation but, baby’s got spine now, and some smooth-talking—even if he is sinfully hot—rugby player, won’t be adding her as a notch anytime soon.

    Lincoln Quinn loves rugby, women, and poker. And he likes to win at all three. When his team mates bet him he can’t break through Em’s resolve, he’s more than up for the challenge. But this lady has a shoebox of stipulations before she’ll even go on a date with him, much less use that mouth for kissing instead of giving orders.

    Something’s gotta give but this time Em’s not settling. And Linc’s questioning everything he ever knew about matters of the heart.

    Amy Andrews

    Amy war ein Kind, das immer eine Geschichte im Kopf hat. Ihr Lieblingsfach war English und sie liebte es Geschichten zu schreiben. Sollte sie einen Aufsatz mit nur 100 Worten schreiben – schrieb Amy 1.000 Worte. Anstatt nur eine Seite bei dem Thema „ Beschreibt auf einer Seite eure Sommerferien“ abzugeben – schrieb Amy zehn Seiten. In ihrer Kindheit beobachtete Amy ihre Mutter immer beim Schreibmaschineschrieben - ihre Mutter, eine Autorin verfasste Liebesromane. Im Alter von 11 Jahren las Amy heimlich die Liebesromane ihrer Mutter und entdeckte dadurch, was sie eines Tages werden wollte – Autorin. Ihren ersten Liebesroman schrieb sie in 10 Tagen – ein Kapitel an einem Tag. Unnötig zu sagen, dass sie den Roman bereits im Kopf hatte, sie schrieb einfach ihre vorhandenen Gedanken auf und schaffte so ihr ungeheures Schreibpensum. Als Amy wieder nach Australien – ihrem Heimatland – zurück kehrte, entdeckte sie die Welt der Arztromane. Sie selbst als gelernte Krankenschwester war immer dann von einem Roman fasziniert, wenn er die Welt der Medizin möglichst realistisch wiedergegeben hat. Da dieser Wunsch nicht immer erfüllt wurde, beschloss sie, sich selbst dem Schreiben von Arzt-Liebesromanen zu widmen. Heute ist Amy zweifache Mutter und arbeitet teilzeit als Kinderkrankenschwester auf der Intensivstation im Krankenhaus. Sie hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt, bis zu ihrem 40 Lebensjahr 20 Liebesromane zu schreiben. Mehr kann man über Amy Andrews unter www.amyandrews.com.au erfahren.

      I received this free eARC from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. This was cute story. Sweet and fluffy. A typical novel where boy and girl do not get along, start to like each other, find out terrible news about each other and then they have to work through the terrible news to get a happy ever after. But beside the typical part, this was a humorous novel, especially when Trina and Slade were babysitting Max and Gracie. Those two are so opposite that they will probably end up marrying each other. And the trouble they are always getting into! I'm not sure all the money in the world would get me to watch them for a whole summer...I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and am very grateful to get this as an eARC!

      I received an ARC of this book from Entangled Crush via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.This was a very enjoyable book. Yep. Enjoyable. Other words I'd use to describe it include pleasurable, pleasant, satisfying, gratifying... etc. You get my drift. To me, this is more of a book that you'd read to pass time. I mean, if you were looking for an intense, thought-provoking book, then this obviously isn't it. But if you were looking for one to read during a rainy day to pass time or while lounging outside in the sun, then this is definitely it. This was a pretty funny book and, most of the time, the exchanges between the characters left me laughing quietly at 3 am. The characters were amusing and there were hilarious one-liners. To be honest, I'm not a big fan of the whole "bad-boy-player-falls-for-good-girl" hype, but I felt like this book gave a slightly different vibe than that. There was the nannying, which was very entertaining to read, and there are tragic secrets from the MC's past to be uncovered. (I love that in books, it's my guilty pleasure.)Overall, this book was a fun, lighthearted page-turner with amusing characters and witty one-liners. I'd recommend it if you just finished a heavy series and want to take a small break!

      Good read..like the others in the series. The back stories of the main characters was different.. Rugby parts stay the same. Also very STEAMY !

      This was an okay book, such a light read
      I actually finished it in one sitting
      But it wasn't a great book, the plot was predictable, I could see the plot twist a hunderd pages away
      And Trina was actually so annoying at the start, I wanted nothing more than for her part to be over so I can read from Slade's pov
      But it had a lot of fluff, and the kids were adorable

      All in all it was fun to read, but it's definitely not making it to my favorites list
