Wow.... It's 12:47am... And I just finished reading this book. I have all these things swirling around in my head right now. I'm kind of shocked on how the book ended. And the reaction of Tanner at the very end of this book.

OMG!! I can’t believe this is a debut novel from Kimberly Bracco. Hours later my brain still will not shut off!!! For this being the author’s first book she did an amazing job. This story deals with somethings that I can seriously relate too. The author wrote about places that I have been to before in New York and New Jersey. I loved that I could actually place the areas. The story is very well-developed. It’s fast paced but it has everything that an avid book reader could want. A super-hot alpha star Quarterback, betrayal, drama and some smoking hot sex. When I say sex I mean some really hot erotic sex scenes that had my kindle melting. This story is told in alternate POV’s and let me tell you this, Tanner’s mind is one you will definitely want to get to know!

We meet Ashley Mitchell in the opening chapter. She is a lifestyle journalist for The City Press newspaper. Ashley has an assignment to interview NFL Quarterback Tanner Garrison, the infamous playboy. If all goes well this can be the kick her career needs. Ashley has been down on her luck struggling to make ends meet after catching her boyfriend Jason having sex with another woman in their home.

Ashley is a heroine that many women can relate too. She has not had the best experiences when it comes to men and fulfilling her sexual needs. She had a bad experience in college that’s made her closed off to her sexual desires. Especially after her ex-boyfriend claims his affair was because she was a prude in bed. So of course, Ashley has major self-esteem issues, has her walls up and is closed off to men now.

Tanner Garrison is not all what he portrays. God, I love him! He has agreed to the interview because his agent talked him into it. He hates interviews and does not like being in the spotlight. To make matters worse, the woman conducting the interview is late. For Tanner lateness shows a lack of respect for other people’s time. Tanner’s anger is immediately replaced when he sees the breathtakingly beautiful Ashley walking in the door.

As soon as Tanner and Ashley meet there is an instant connection a spark between the two. The relationship between to the two is intense but I loved how it was a gradual buildup. I loved the dialogue and the easy going relationship Tanner and Ashley had. I think the way they are able to open up to one another by expressing their fears, pasts and dreams made me fall in love with these characters even more. I really loved watching how Tanner was able to bring Ashley out of her shell and acknowledge that it is okay to explore and desire sex.

Can Tanner and Ashley truly let go of their painful pasts or will that self-doubt always linger? Will Ashley and Tanner come out on top after all he said and done? This is book 1 in a 2 part series. The second book Unrestricted is due to be release in the summer and I cannot wait to see what happens with the pair. I also loved meeting two side characters in this story, Quinn and Alex. I am seriously hoping we get a book about these two sometime.

Prior to their meeting, Ashley already distrusts men because she caught her ex cheating on her and he said some hurtful things regarding her sexuality which has only fueled her insecurity.

Prior to their meeting, Ashley already distrusts men because she caught her ex cheating on her and he said some hurtful things regarding her sexuality which has only fueled her insecurity. Without knowing Tanner firsthand, Ashley assumes he's like all the other guys out there and her assumptions cause the interview to go south quickly. Despite that, they do have an attraction to each other and Tanner sets the record straight about who he really is and Ashley realizes that he could be worth getting to know after all. What follows is the development of the relationship between Ashley and Tanner. I liked them both a lot. Ashley's past experiences have shaped her into being an agreeable and unopinionated person on the outside, not being able to voice her wants or desires, especially sexually, out of fear that she will come off as skanky or easy. What Ashley deals with isn't unusual for a lot of women, it is just unfortunate that she has been made to feel that way and can't completely own herself or let herself go. Otherwise, she's very independent and strong willed outside of her love life. Despite Tanner's celebrity status, he actually isn't a womanizer because he has to be careful with his reputation and his career. Tanner is a good guy all around, he comes from a loving family and enjoys interacting with children and fans. He doesn't trust people easily because people always want to use him for his status, but he lets Ashley in because of their undeniable chemistry. I loved that Tanner wouldn't let Ashley close herself off from him and always required them to openly communicate. He also helps her get closer to being that woman that she wants to be without any shame or embarrassment. They are pretty hot and sexy with each other, but like with any couple, there are obstacles that come up. Ashley is a little scarred and has some baggage, but as the story progresses, it's obvious that she isn't weak, particularly towards the end when a situation like that can really crumble a person and I am very interested to see more of that side of her in the next book. Ashley's issues with her inhibitions and Tanner's issues with trust make them very relatable and the question is if they can even have a future together if they can't overcome these roadblocks because Ashley wants to be enough for him and Tanner wants to be accepted by her for himself. Looking forward to the rest of their story already!

Have you ever read a book that left you with a stomach ache? Not the bad kind of stomach ache, but the kind when you crave the rest of the story. When you need to know what else will happen to each character. Well this was the book for me.

Have you ever read a book that left you with a stomach ache? Not the bad kind of stomach ache, but the kind when you crave the rest of the story. When you need to know what else will happen to each character. Well this was the book for me. I had the opportunity to read this book in return for a honest review and a honest review I will give you.

Lets start out with that this is the Kimberly Bracco's debut novel. What a hit! This story had it all; from the Star Quarterback with a huge heart and ego, to the shy and slightly damaged heroine. Oh and lets not forget TONS of panty melting sex. Some of the scenes between the two made me blush and I for one love a good graphic erotic sex scene. Maybe its was the dialog between the two that did it for me. I mean what girl doesn't like a guy to say dirty sexy things to them while doing the deed? I soon became a fan of Ms. Bracco's work from the second chapter.

Our story starts out with Ashley Mitchell, a twenty-something year old Lifestyle Journalist, who just 6 months ago caught her boyfriend with another woman. Being told that the affair was her fault because of her being a prude, Ashley dives into herself and puts up major walls when it comes to the opposite sex. What girl gives into her secret sexual desires? What would people think of her? However Ashley is reluctantly given a assignment to interview the NFL's most notorious Playboy Tanner Garrison. With doing plenty of research about Tanner, Ashley soon discovers that his Playboy ways and huge ego are nothing compared to the real person who rescues her at a time of need.

Tanner Garrison is only giving one interview before this season starts but with the reporter already being late his patience is running low. What he doesn't expect is for a brunette beauty to walk in the room and conduct a great interview. All her questions are to the point and totally related to his career. Not like the usual reporters who constantly ask about his personal life. With the interview almost over his brown haired beauty does the unthinkable. She asks about his wild playboy ways. Well Tanner knows how to handle this and he is planning on shutting it down. The one thing he didn't realize was that shortly after he put a monkey wrench in Ashley's interview he would have to become her savior in more ways than one.

There was instant attraction between Ashley and Tanner. One where each will lay out their secrets and desires. Relationships will be tested and truths will be told. But what will happen when a small accident tears this couple apart?

I can't wait for the book two that is suppose to come out this summer. It left us at at place where we need answers and we need them now! How does Tanner deal with the bombshell Ashley drops on him? How does Ashley cope with the unsuspected news of her latest predicament? Can this couple survive? Please Ms. Bracco give us more of these two!!!!!

One side note: The only thing negative I have to say about this book was that it contained a few grammatical errors but being that I was totally engrossed in the story I didn't mind. ...more

Be warned, this ends in a cliffhanger & you have no choice but to dive into book 2.

Sports romance with a sexy cocky quarterback (Tanner <3) and an insecure reporter (Ashley). Loved how their relationship develops. It's not Insta-love. But they get the BOOM!

Menos de una estrella

No hay libro más predecible que este!!! ¿Se puede poner menos de una estrella??
Para ser sincera no me esperaba nada de este libro ya que es de mi género menos leído además de que me lo encontré gratis en Kindle. Pero este ha sido peor de lo que me esperaba. La historia es simple: chico rico, cretino y famoso conoce a una insegura periodista que recién fue botada por su novio. Se odian a primera vista pero algo pasa que se terminan gustando. Luego es solo tener ya sabemos qué a lo loco. Y para terminar el plot twist más brutal de todos los libros de este genero, el más impredecible «sarcasmo» (view spoiler) Hasta en Wattpad lo veía a cada rato

En toda la historia el tipo es un cretino de los mayores que nunca me cayó bien y la tipa una inmadura que veía a todas las mujeres mal y las insultaba porque miraban a su novio. ¿Qué quieres si estás saliendo con un famoso jugador de fútbol? Es como que salieras con Cristiano Ronaldo y no quieras que nadie lo vuelva a ver
Pero así con todo, la historia nunca tuvo una trama. Literalmente, ya me salteaba partes para ver en qué momento pasaba algo. Fue aburridísimo y no se lo recomiendo a nadie

Where to start?? Let me start by saying, I don't read books about Athletes'. Not that I have anything against them, it's not just my cup of tea. However, after winning an ARC of this book, I have just expanded my Goodreads list! Kimberly uses every descriptive word in the dictionary to suck her reader's in; the friendship that is shared in this book reminds me of me and my best friend, the love wrote about is every girls fantasy and the heartache is something I think we might all be able to relate to. It has been a while since I've found a book that describes the characters to a "T", the scenes are hot and steamy while still maintaining some class and leaving a little to the imagination and the story line is anything but dull.

**There are no spoilers, so feel free to read ahead**

After spending the last half of the year trying to get back on her feet, Ashley Mitchell is praying and hoping that she'll eventually catch a break. Being left heart broken and forced to move in with her best friend, she will do anything to just be on solid ground again. Doing her dream job writing for a local paper about what's hot and what's not, her boss approaches her with a once in a lifetime opportunity - cover for the sports writer and interview a hot shot NFL player, Tanner Garrison. There's only one problem, Ashely writes' about clubs, restaurants, boutique's - not football players'. Not being given much of choice, she sucks it up and decides to go through with the interview. Little did Ashley know, her whole world would be soon knocked of kilter. Everything she thought she knew about Tanner - courtesy of google and other newspaper articles - is soon thrown out the window.

Tanner Garrison is just an ordinary guy - loves his family, friends community but because he just happens to be one of the top NFL players, he is constantly portrayed as someone he's not. Constantly being bashed by the media, he is doing everything in his power to make sure he maintains control of his private life. Tanner's manager convinces him to do ONE pre-season interview despite how much he hates that all reporters' are the same - only interested in his personal life and not football at all. When Ashley walks into the conference room all flustered, Tanner soon looses all self control - in his mind. But Ashley does the one thing Tanner expected her to do and once again, her life is hanging by a thread.

What happens next is so unexpected, Ashley herself has a hard time believing it. The only problem, Ashley is extremely insecure. Will Tanner break down those walls? Will Ashley be able to show Tanner that not everyone is out to use him?

I know I said I wouldn't give any spoilers but I feel I need to let my fellow book lovers know, there is a cliff hanger that will leave you wanting more, saying WTH and suffering from a book hangover but you will most definitely not regret picking up this book, so add it to your list and mark your calendar for February 20th!!

description

What I Loved:First of all I love romances, second I love romances that take place in New Jersey, third I love football, and fourth I have been a diehard Jets for more than half of my life! So this book had all the right ingredients for me to fall in love with it, which meant I had high expectations. Most of the time this is not a good thing, because when you have high expectations they often don’t get met. That definitely did NOT happen and this story met every single expectation I had.

There was the right amount of raunchiness, the right amount of love, the right amount of laughs and the right amount of heart break. The story begins with a very frazzled Ashley meeting a very handsome Tanner and of course sparks fly, hearts skip a beat and the rest as they say is history. It was easy to fall in love with Ashley, a vulnerable girl still getting over her a very shameful moment in her life, trying to get back on her feet again. Ashley was definitely a very believable, relatable character which made it easy to become engrossed in the plot and become a member of her fan club. All you want is for Ashley to find happiness and love again after everything she has been through, so it was fun to watch her fall in love with Tanner.

Like I said before I am a diehard Jets fan, I worship the ground they walk on, so my face lit up when I realized that this football romance involved my boys in green! Tanner has the right mixture of sexy, sensitive, raunchy, and humor that every woman wants in a man. He made it easy to fall for him from the very beginning, and even though he might make some silly or bad decisions along the way, I still want to forgive him.

The sexual chemistry was pouring off every page and it’s been so long since I read a book that has just the right amount of sex and love and vulgarity in it, which made this story very refreshing. Tanner is one sexy man who knows his way around a female body and I enjoyed learning about his expertise on and off the field. I loved how much he supported Ashley and saw something beautiful inside all those walls she built around her heart and to me, that just made Tanner more irresistible.

Not So Much:Since this is a 5 star rating, this will be a very short section. Like I mentioned before I loved Ashley from the very beginning and was someone I could to totally relate to. But at a certain point her inner monologue of putting herself down constantly and questioning everything all the time got a little annoying. I get that she has had bad experiences in the past, but I didn’t like how she fit every man into this box and made up her mind about all men, and was surprised to find out not every human being is the same. But I get it, she’s been burned real bad and is still licking her wounds and then this hot famous quarterback comes along and changes everything. ...more

When she gets the opportunity to interview star NFL quarterback, Tanner, she isn’t exactly thrilled since she doesn’t know anything about football. When she gets to the interview and introduces herself, there is an obvious chemistry between the two.

“The second our fingers touch, my whole body comes alive.” ~Tanner

Despite their immediate attraction to each other, the interview takes a bad turn when she decides to go on her assumptions of his character. Ashley starts delving into his personal life which he keeps very private, and Tanner walks out. Ashley is devastated.

“I didn’t just f*** this up for me but for the paper as well.” ~Ashley

When she gets a second chance the at the interview, of course she takes it and that is the start of her rollercoaster romance with Tanner. Tanner and Ashley both have some issues and insecurities, among other things, that add to the drama of their relationship. Everything seemed to be going well for the two until one little mistake, that happened early in the relationship, was revealed and everything goes to hell after that. Can they get back on the right track or is the damage done and will they just move on from each other?

I CANNOT WAIT for the second book!!! I seriously thought about this book the next morning when I woke up and went back to read the ending again. Still in shock! I just have to know what’s going to happen!!!

Kimberly did an amazing job with this debut! I loved the writing and the character development was great. And boy was this book hot!! Tanner has a deliciously dirty mouth! I know how a lot of people hate cliffhangers, but I love how this book ended. It makes me so excited that more’s coming!! I highly recommend this novel!!! One click now!! ...more

Tanner is a popular football player and can count on one hand the people he trusts. He has to have his guard always up to keep the gold diggers from finding a spot in his life. What happens when two people who have trust issues meet and have an imm ...more
