Paxton Kerry has worked hard to overcome his injury, but still might not be able to play in the NFL again. He's a risk, and the team may not be willing to gamble on his ability to perform. He decides to take a vacation, and convinces his agent's assistant he needs her to join him.

Alison Duvall would much rather stay in Seattle and work. She's much more than an assistant, and on track to becoming one of the company's agents. Her boss assigned her a surly football player as her first client. One who is determined to make Alison's life miserable. How bad could a tropical vacation be? She's about to find out.

Paxton has an ulterior motive, one involving Alison, and his sudden vacation. He's fallen in love, but his actions may have driven Alison away. His desire is driving him as insane, but nothing compares to the jealousy raging through him when another man might steal her away forever.

The story continues...Allison Duvall was the assistant of Tori and she was managing Paxton Kerry, the quarterback. She was able help Paxton redirect his focus on his career/life. Paxton concocted a plan to get him closer to her. At firt it didn't go as planned but there was a HEA.
It was funny to see how people at a certain age, supposedly mature and profession think like a certain age/teenager, jump into conclusion, and lose perspective. That is what is nice about this story. It shows our human-side . There was a few moments of jealousy on this story and more desires. This story however is tame compared to what is shown in the picture or author's other stories. Was entertained by this contemporary story.

This is the second book of the Daring Love series, and like the first book, it felt as though the book started somewhere in the middle instead of at the beginning of the couple’s story. Apparently, a lot of stories happened before what happens in this story, and what happened wasn't adequately revealed throughout the actual book to help all that transpired make sense. While I can’t say if this is the cause, I know the push these days is to pump out a novella a month, but story and characterization suffer when the speed of getting books out trumps, for lack of a better word, literary concerns. Because I felt like I only got a part of the story, I never connected with the characters, and therefore, could never really care about what happened to them.

Where’s the Rest of the Story?
