About this ebook

The secret about the Birmingham Rebels is out: With a girl in the middle, two mouth-watering football studs are better than one.

Linebacker Sam Taylor feels like a ticking time bomb. He left the army with emotional wounds as fresh as the scars on his back. Sam’s been living like a monk, but his best friend, defensive lineman King Ulupoka, wants to get him laid. Easy for him to say. The larger-than-life Samoan is a hard-bodied, tribal-tattooed fantasy. Sam agrees, under one condition: King stays to watch.

ER nurse Jane Foster is done being a good girl, and nothing says wild like picking up two of football’s sexiest players and bringing them back to your hotel room. Trouble is, she can’t decide which one she wants more. Sam is hot, sweet, and vulnerable. Jane’s more than willing to ride him into oblivion. But King’s intense gaze from across the room promises that the best is yet to come.

Sure, King has had his choice of girls and guys in the past. That doesn’t mean he’ll jeopardize his relationship with Sam over a case of locker-room lust—until a naughty nurse pushes them both out of their comfort zones. Seeing Jane and Sam together turns King on more than he ever imagined. If they’re game, he’s ready to tackle a three-way play.

Ratings and reviews

**Advanced copy provided by the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review** This is the third book in the Birmingham Rebels series and it is as good and HOT as the others have been. I really enjoyed everything about this book and how it unfolded. Sam Taylor is trying his best to re-acclimate to his life after serving two tours with the Army in Afghanistan but that's easier said than done. Not only has he not played football for years, but he hasn't been with a woman for years either. While that sounds like an easy problem to solve, Sam is also dealing with the emotional scars of being in war, not to mention the very real physical wounds that are healing as well. King Ulupoka, Sam's best friend and fellow Rebel, wants to help his friend and get him laid. King takes Sam to Orange Beach to see if he can hook him up with a one-night stand, but the only way Sam will agree to it is if the burly Samoan stays in the room to watch. He wants to make sure his time in Afghanistan doesn't resurface and cause him to harm the woman. When King and Sam meet Jane, an ER nurse who has always been nothing but a good girl, but is looking to be more bold and wild, they are both immediately taken with her. And on Jane's part, she's attracted to both men, but doesn't know who she would choose if she had to. As Jane spends time with King and Sam, and things heat up between Sam and Jane, King is present as Sam requested and he's as turned on watching them as they are in the act. Will Jane push these two strong, both in will and body, men out of their comfort zones and make them realize that the three of them together might be much better together than any other alternative? Samantha Kane treated us to a well constructed and told story, along with a lot of dirty talk and fun. This is a great series and while it helps to read them in order to understand some of the auxiliary characters, you can start with this book and not be lost in the least bit. If you're looking for a scorchingly hot read, I'd tell you to pick this one up!

All I can say is WOW! Jacked Up is the third book in the Birmingham Rebels series but you don’t need to have read the others (but you really should) to enjoy this one; all of the books can be read as standalones. Samantha Kane has really turned up the heat in this story. The others were scorchers, too, but since I haven’t read them in a while this one really stands out as one of the hottest M/M/F stories I’ve read in quite some time. Sam Taylor is a veteran of two tours in Afghanistan and now a player for the Birmingham Rebels. He suffers from PTSD but teammate and best friend King Ulupoka helps to keep him centered. King Ulupoka wants to be more than Sam’s friend but he’s kept those feelings to himself. Sam hasn’t had sex with anyone since he was injured during his last deployment. King wants to help Sam get back in the game and find him the perfect woman. Jane Foster is a good girl who always follows the rules until she meets Sam and King. They have one wonderful encounter that fulfills all of her sexual fantasies and lets her be a “bad girl” for just one night. She’s not afraid to let go of her inhibitions because they will never see each other again – or will they? This is one of the hottest stories I’ve read in a while – and that’s something considering some of the stuff I read. <smile> If lots of hot, sweaty sex turns you off then this book isn’t for you. I’ve been a huge fan of Samantha Kane’s work since I found one of her historical M/M/F stories in my library’s digital catalogue. I promptly checked out as many of her books as I was allowed and didn’t stop reading until I finished them all. Her Brothers In Arms series will probably always be my favorite but the Birmingham Rebels series is a close second. Jacked Up has just the right amount of angst. Jane can’t reconcile herself to how she acts when she’s with King and Sam. She’s so afraid of what people will think when they find out she’s with Sam AND King. When their relationship is brought to the attention of the media she runs away. King and Sam want Jane but they also want her to be happy; giving her time to come to terms with their relationship is one of the hardest things that either of them have had to do. Don’t let the fact that the books are football related stories keep you from reading them. I’m not a football fan but that absolutely doesn’t matter. There’s almost no football jargon in the story – in fact the heroine, Jane, doesn’t know anything about football. You might not want to read Jacked Up if you’re out in public. The people around you might wonder why your ereader is smoking. A review copy was provided by the publisher via NetGalley but this did not influence my opinion or rating of the book.

This is my first book I have read by Samantha Kane. I loved the story. It's a MMF sports romance. This book will be releasing 1/31/2017 and I can not wait for the world to get their hands on "Jacked Up.". It is part of the Birmingham Rebels book series, and you can get the first two books now. This book was so steamy, the sexy scenes even made me feel all tingly inside. LOVED IT! Jacked Up is hands down a great sexy novel that shows the true heart of Samantha's characters. This book brings in all emotions. I was nervous, happy, mad, and sometimes sad. I barely let this book out of my sight until I finished reading it! I am excited to share my review....

Will Jane's inner bad girl come to out stay? Sam and King are on the defensive line for the NFL team Rebels. Sam use to be in the army and was discharged with a purple heart.
