Decker: Changing the Play by Connor Crais, Kayley Loring
5.0
Sweetly adorable while still intensely hot. Loring's brilliant comedy shined throughout this fantastic sports romance while her new co-writing partner, Connor Crais, only increased the awesomeness of the overall plot.
You'd think these two have been writing together for years this book was so well done. There was never a point I thought, this sounds exactly like a man, or this is specifically Kayley's writing. It's flawless and perfectly executed. All the charm, cuteness, and loveable qualities that bring me back to Loring's books over and over again was still there, but there was also this extra sprinkle on top that I'm guessing was the Connor factor. I'm going with that and I'm sticking to it.
John Decker, the reformed panty wrecker, since his main focus is truly on football and not ravaging all the panties in Boston like when he was a young rookie. His character is likeable from start to finish. He's a leader on and off the field and he reminded me a lot of great players across generations and in other various sports as well. Whomever the inspiration was for Loring and Crais to draw from, they did a fantastic job on creating and drawing out a well rounded QB1. It's been years since I've asked questions and really paid attention to specifics in football. It's on my TV on the weekends mostly as background noise, but Decker even refreshed the old spirit in this gal and I found myself paying more attention to the TV than I have in years.
I adored Hannah Strong and loved that she was a woman willing to step into a man's world and never give up. That strength in character is a trait that more women need to see and experience in everyday life and it's slowly changing over time, but I love that it's also happening in the fictional world too. Women are still a minority when it comes to being owners of sports teams. Hannah had a big job in finance before she came over to the sports world, so she had analytics behind her. What she didn't have was any knowledge of the sport she was taking over, however, she did have the panty wrecker willing to give her a hand...with several things.
These two were pure fire from the beginning and their chemistry never let up. I also loved Hannah's quest for knowledge and her undying, relentless pursuit to never quit. No matter how tough something was she wasn't going to stop. That is the same ethics that professional athletes have and it's ultimately what wins them over as well, especially the QB1.
Is there some drama, of course, but are there lots of quirky, hot, fun times too...yes!! This book brings it all, along with lots of football.
