Overall Opinion:
The introduction of any series can make it or break it and this series unfortunately didn't grip me enough in the beginning to leave me hanging on. The writing style wasn't the best, the characters seem juvenile, major edits need to be done and there wasn't anything particularly interesting about the read from the get-go.

I'm not going to lie, I'm happy anytime a midwest setting occurs-doubly so if it's not ya know, Chicago. (I love Chicago, no shade, but there are other cities-like...Milwaukee.)

Anyway a single dad & a nanny, and it usually doesn't work but it's ok here. The book is mostly cheesy (I see you Wisco-) sweet, and the characters could've used a little more to make them stand out. As diversions go, it was enough. I didn't mind this first book I've read by Liz Lincoln, it was enough to make me try again, but not enough to go out and tell you I recommend it. 2.6.

Liz Lincoln is a new to me author, when I received the ARC for this I went back and read books 1 and 2 in the series first. You do not need to read them before this story, but this can be read as a stand alone story. This was a hot, sexy story that I couldn't stop reading. Quinn is a recovering alcoholic whose heart was broken by sports reporter Natalie. It takes the two of them most of the story to work through their issues and become more than friends with benefits. I'm hoping for more to the series, there's a lot more team members to learn about.

Natalie has been given the chance of a lifetime. She’s a sports journalist that is given exclusive access to the Milwaukee Dragons. The thing is, her college boyfriend has just been given the chance to play for them. Natalie & Quinn’s breakup was not pretty & it coincided with his fall from football. It’s going to be awkward to be around him. Why couldn’t she shut off her feelings for him?

Quinn can’t believe he has another chance. After seeking treatment for his addiction & regaining his form, he should be on top of the world. Instead, his unresolved feelings for Natalie & his fears of relapsing keep him distracted. In college, he was upset about her article about his addiction & fall from grace even though she was kinder than other reporters were. Should he forgive Natalie & give them another chance?

This was a an excellent second chance romance. Natalie’s dad was an alcoholic & she couldn’t deal with Quinn going down the same path. She continued to blame herself for what happened to him even though the article she wrote was compassionate & allowed everyone to see he was human. When they came back into contact, Quinn couldn’t forgive her for the article & he didn’t trust her to not do it again. Quinn has to man up & realize it was his problem & results. Natalie just did her job. I really enjoyed reading of their second chance.… (plus d'informations)
