NBA star Chase Holbrook’s reputation with women is as legendary as his court stats. But his best scores have always come when he’s focused on his jump shot, not on the ladies. With a teammate putting up close competition for the offensive record, Chase needs to prove that he was worth every penny of his high-dollar trade. To be the top-scoring player, Chase accepts a team bet to steer clear of women. Shouldn’t be a problem for ultra-competitive Chase – especially when he learns it’s the annoyingly cute team mascot who’s tasked with monitoring his every move.

Team mascot Willow “Bolt” Bend has always been one of the guys. So it’s no surprise when she’s asked to help ensure the integrity of the bet. Willow doesn’t want to get involved, but her hesitation is sidelined by her desire to learn if Chase is as shallow as she thinks. With a sick cousin who’s eager to meet him, Willow wants to know if a good person is hiding inside the notorious playboy. All she has to do is not take her eyes off the gorgeous man mountain and cry foul if he breaks his celibacy – easy, right?

The perky cheerleader has always gotten under Chase’s skin, but with the celi-bet well underway, Willow’s starting to get to Chase in ways no one expected. As the spark between them begins to ignite, the bet keeping them apart may just be the thing that pulls them together.

 

🏀Review🏀

When Chase and his teammate find themselves competing for the same scoring title, they agree to a bet that will not allow them to be distracted and stipulates no physical relations with the opposite sex.    To make things honest his teammate will be watched by his mother and Chase will be watched by Willow.

Willow is the team mascot who agrees to be Chase’s shadow when he isn’t with the team, but she has her own reasons for doing it.    She thinks that he is a conceited athlete and he finds her annoying but now that they are living together, they are both going to realize that appearances can be deceiving.

I really enjoyed these two together.     Willow may not have much financially but there isn’t anything she wouldn’t do for anyone while Chase is cautious, and he only believes people want to be around him because of what he can do for them and not for the man he is.    Their journey isn’t without its ups and downs, but the ending definitely made it worthwhile.

I received a complimentary copy of the audiobook and thought the narrator did a great job with not only the characters but bringing out the emotion of the story as well.
