Blurb: College football player Clark Stevens, a popular wide receiver with a potential NFL contract, has a few problems. He’s got a jealous girlfriend, a narrow-minded and controlling father, an attention problem, and an unexpected and powerful attraction to the trauma doctor—the male trauma doctor—who treats him for a broken bone.

Dr. Jody Williams is getting some really mixed signals. He can’t ignore how much he wants Clark, because it’s obvious Clark feels the same way. For the out and proud doctor, the solution seems very simple. For Clark, it’s not! His world is not gay-friendly, and the obstacles he’s faced have led him to deny his sexuality for years.

It’s the Super Bowl of disasters, no matter how you look at it. In the end, Clark has to decide if he’s going to stick with the only life he’s ever known or take a chance on a new one with Jody.

Reviewer:   GiGi

Review: Each story in this series can stand alone, but this one is the book that first made us fall in love. Out and proud Doc falls in love with closeted NFL first round draft pick. You can imagine the kind of problems that could arise, right? Well, I couldn’t imagine the extremes that the characters involved would go to stop Jo-Jo and Kit’s love from growing. Shock, anger, dismay, and frustration are just a few of the emotions this book inspired. Plenty of smexy scenes are dispersed among the drama and battle for love. I recommend this book; the whole series is highly enjoyable.
