Andrew 'Drew' Joseph lives the life most people dream of, a Sports Agents replete with an A-List clientele and all the trappings success brings. There is never a shortage of professional sports players soliciting his services; especially those that require a broken moral compass. Neveah and Gianna, the two closest friends in Drew's life, are roommates whose relationship is tenuous at best. Neveah, an unflinching gold digger looking for the first ticket to Easy Street, finds herself in conflict with Gianna who would much rather live a quiet anonymous existence. Each has their pasts, secrets, and pains to work through. Stepping off the elevator, walking into the magnificent decor, and triple A-list of professional athletics who's who, none of our trio is ready for what is about to be unleashed as they each are unwittingly thrown onto the playing field, forced to win or go home.**This romantic suspense novel contains profanity, sexual content, violence, and adult situations in which the characters, while deemed imperfect by society due to their sometimes illegal pursuits, are afforded humanity in their desire to love and be loved. If this is outside your realm of comfort, then this novel may not be for you.

Interception was a refreshingly good read. The cover could have been better but the words inside more than made up for it. Football was just a backdrop for a very intriguing tale spun around the threads of these characters’ lives.
Gianni, Drew and Julian had me reeling trying to figure which one she would choose. Their love triangle along with the meddling roommate and best friend Navayah created some interesting tension from the start. The unfolding of more serious issues and the way the characters grew to meet those challenges was refreshing.
The author did an excellent job displaying the struggle of emotions and the balance of perspectives. There were a few editing issues though. I would recommend this book. Four star read.
