“It’s complicated. It’s downright messy. It’s irresistibly risky. But isn’t life always?”
After finishing Irresistibly Wild, I was so excited for Asher’s book and he did not disappoint. “He’s a postcard of a man. A total dream.”

Asher has been pining over a woman he let down in a club bathroom almost two years ago. He thinks and talks about her constantly and the very last thing he expected was to run into her in another bathroom at the football stadium he plays at.

Wynter is an ex Olympian and now top notch surgeon. Her specialty is in shoulders, so when Boston’s star quarterback is hurt she is called in to fix him, she just never expected him to be her less than stellar one night stand that left her with more than memories.

Asher fell so hard so fast when he finally reconnected with Wynter, there was no chance in his mind they wouldn’t end up together and he did everything to prove to her that he was worth the risk. They were a great couple and I loved every second of this book!

Now it’s time for the final Central Square guy Lennox to get his story! Cannot wait for Irresistibly Dangerous in March.
Thank you @jsamanbooks for the ARC!

I have dived into every book of this series and came out with a new love and Asher is no different. We have gotten to know him over the course of the series, and he is the flirt, the bassist of Central Square turned football player, and a better man than he comes across as at first.

Asher has been pining for a woman he met in a club bathroom over a year and a half ago. He talks about her all the time, to the point his friends may be tired of hearing about her. The very last thing he expected was to run into her again, in a bathroom of all places … again.

Wynter is an Olympian athlete and now an orthopedic surgeon and one of the best in her field. When she is specifically requested to see a patient for a football team, she is less than thrilled, I mean she hates football. She never expects it to be her one-night stand … although she doesn’t remember him.

When Asher finds out about her secret, his mind is blown, but he steps up in a way that a great father should. He hasn’t wanted anyone else in over a year and this is just icing on the cake, I mean he just has to convince her, right? Wynter doesn’t put up with crap from anyone and you cannot help but love that about her, she speaks her mind and doesn’t back down. But there is more to Coach’s initial reasoning for bringing her onto the team and it is a doozy. I loved this book and I highly recommend it and the series. You can read this book as a standalone but there are a lot of characters from the series always around.

Received ARC in exchange for voluntary honest review.

Without risk, there's no reward

He's risky but oh the benefits...I mean rewards! Irresistibly Risky is a sexy sweet workplace romance with more than enough tropes to keep you busy.

It's a fun, flirty read. A nice way to zone out and just enjoy a relentlessly persistent man who has found the One.

It’s worth the risk; don’t hesitate to dive into Wynter and Asher’s story.

Irresistibly Risky is an all-new, captivatingly addictive addition to the Irresistibly Yours series. I’ve never come across a more perfectly titled series. Saman delivers a story, and a book boyfriend is increasingly irresistible.
Not only does Asher fall first, but he’s playing for keeps, and no one, not even Wynter, will prevent him from winning the biggest game of his life. Good thing his charm, witty humor, and immediate love of his child make him irresistibly swoony.


Saman is a new author to me. I saw an author I love share her release of Irresistibly Wild, but of course I had to start with the first book in the series. I read all 3 in 2 days, and that turned into me binge-reading her entire backlist in the most insanely obsessive manner possible. Her words are addictively irresistible.

Wynter was independent, and she worked her ass off to get where she was. I loved that she was not only determined to be the best mother she could be but a doctor as well. The last thing she expected was to come face-to-face with the man who did the opposite of rocking her world, although it would eventually lead to her rocking a baby in a cradle. She was adamantly against there being anything between them other than being the best co-parents they could be, but the more time she spent with Asher, the more she knew that he was nothing like another football player she knew.

Asher was quick-witted, charming, funny, and mouthwateringly alpha. I loved how he wore his heart on his sleeve, and from the moment Wynter stepped back into his life, he never once wavered in his determination to make her his. They were complete opposites; she was Type A, closed off, and played by the rules, whereas Asher was more of a take-life as it comes, a risk-taker who was all heart. The love he had for his fans, Boston, more than anything, his friends, Wynter, and their child made me fall even more in love with him.

The moment their eyes connect, there’s an undeniable spark between Asher and Wynter. The moment they are face-to-face again, every word and every touch intensifies the magnetic pull between them. The differences between them made them more perfect for each other. Asher gave Wynter more reasons to smile, and Wynter and Mason filled a part of Asher’s soul that he didn’t realize he needed. Asher was the fire while Wynter was the ice, and together they created a perfectly warm and toasty home.

Once Irresistibly Risky landed on my kindle, my day was officially canceled. A few words, and I was completely consumed by Asher and Winter’s story. An exquisitely irresistible blend of soul-deep chemistry, a swoony alpha hero, a strong independent heroine, witty banter, emotion that bleeds through the pages straight into your heart, twists and turns, and red-hot steam. Saman delivered trope perfection, opposites attract, he falls first, forced proximity, sports romance, and a band of brothers who have become some of my absolute favorites.
