Who knew I liked American football? Well, I don’t really. It was the blurb that drew me to this story. I can’t say I’m a fan of the sport now either. But this story isn’t about that, although it’s a bonus if you do like it.
No, this is about the relationship between Butch and Rocky. She the new kicker on his team and he doesn’t think a ‘girl’ should be part of it, after all, it’s man’s sport. I must admit I can’t say I liked him or his attitude. What was the author thinking?
Clever author, Rocky soon changes his mind and I found myself changing mine too. By the end of the book, I liked Butch. Imagine that!

On looking at her vast collection of lovely books, she participated in three anthologies, all of which I had a story in too. How cool is that!
Blurb and Link
Hired as the first female player in the Gridiron Warriors Football League, Rocky Masterson was working on making her dreams come true as a professional kicker. But it wasn’t easy when some of the other players didn’t think she should be allowed to play.
Butch Sutton believed in old-school football: bloody, dirty, and definitely no girls allowed. Angry that he had to play on the same team as “that girl kicker”, he set out to make her life hell so she’d quit.
But making her life miserable comes with one major downfall–she’s good–really good. Admitting she belongs on the team isn’t easy, what’s even worse is realizing that through all the hazing, major feelings have developed for her too. Now, instead of focusing on the game, Butch has an even bigger conundrum to conquer, convincing Rocky his feelings for her are real.
