Pick Six by Maggie Rawdon

4.0

Well, the pro-sport romance era continues. “Pick Six” was a steamy, angsty, super well-done football romance from Maggie Rawdon.

Alexander (aka Xander aka XXL) Xavier has a bad boy rep. Harper is a recently-divorced museum curator. Years ago, Xander and Harper developed a connection during a night together but didn’t pursue it because they wanted different things. Now, Harper’s marriage to Drew (by coincidence, Xander’s best friend and agent) is over and the she reconnects with Xander at an event one night. They find themselves in a predicament where they have to fake date to save both their reps.

This book was angsty and super steamy. Xander is a typical Maggie man - protective with a fabulously dirty mouth. Harper was also a great FMC - strong, self-determined, and didn’t take crap from people. Plus there was A+ communication in this! AND there’s more to come from the Seattle Phantom NFL team (book 2 is out in July)!
