Irresistibly Risky by J. Saman
5.0
Epically Good
This is my first book by Julie Saman and what a doozy! OMG!
Asher is the kind of hero that stays with you. He haunts your thoughts, your dreams, your fantasies. And not just because he's a tall, gorgeous, hunky football player! Or a former member of a rock band! But because of how deeply and unapologetically he's obsessed and in love with the girl. His unabiding devotion to her even when she runs from him, is one of the sweetest, most romantic things I've ever read.
Wynter is about as independent as they come. She's a surgeon. A single mom. And a total loner for so many reasons. Her trust is a preciously rare commodity and one Asher must work time and again to earn and keep.
I dove into this with no prior knowledge of the universe, and I never once felt lost or confused. I also don't feel like the previous stories have been spoiled for me. I will happily go back to read about this amazing cast of characters! But I started here because I wanted a football book, and oh man did this deliver!
If football is your thing, J Saman knows her stuff! At least, to a semi-casual fan like me. There was just the right amount of on field action both during games and practice to satisfy my craving. I only wish we'd gotten to know some of his teammates more. But with an already fleshed out crew of friends, I get why they weren't necessary. Still, you feel Asher's love and loyalty to his team from start to finish.
Truly, truly excellent book!
