About this ebook

Scoring is the best part of the game.

Family lore about falling in forever love made for fun fireside fairy tales, but Kirsty Durnin isn’t interested. After spending her high school years washing baby vomit out of her hair and rerouting her college plans after her mother’s surprise pregnancy, she’s finally ready to finish her undergrad degree before pursuing her master's. No more distractions...until she indulges in an impulsive, mind-melting New Year's kiss with Gladiators offensive lineman, Everest.

Everest McBride oozes chiseled, mountain-sized masculine perfection and dominates on and off the field. Everest thought he had his life plan lined up like hash marks on a football field before he met Kirsty. Suddenly, he can’t get the pint-sized pixie out of his head. Everest’s go-to game plan to win Kirsty’s heart involves charm, but getting ghosted isn’t in his playbook.

Kirsty refuses to let a single smooch, no matter how hot, detour her path. By ignoring Everest, she’ll forever fracture her family’s “love at first kiss” fairy tale, but Everest plays to win, and, besides, he gives really good text.

Ratings and reviews

Handful by CR Grissom, book three in the Gladiators of Gridiron series, is a young adult series that features the lives of college football players and their loves. Family has been a big issue in this series, also playing a large a part in Kirsty Durnin and Everest McBride’s story. Everest McBride is tough on the field and is learning that winning at love can be tough too. Being ignored isn’t something he has had to experience until he meets and falls for Kirsty Durnin. Everest thought he had his life plan lined up like hash marks on a football field before he met Kirsty. Suddenly, he can’t get the pint-sized pixie out of his head. Everest’s go-to game plan to win Kirsty’s heart involves charm, but getting ghosted isn’t in his playbook. Kirsty refuses to let a single smooch, no matter how hot, detour her path. By ignoring Everest, she believes she will break her family’s “love at first kiss” fairy tale, but Everest plays to win. Ms. Grissom wrote a wonderful, emotional story filled with strong magnetism, sizzling chemistry, wonderful dialogue, and charming characters. I highly recommend Handful to other readers. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

Handful by Grissom a great addition to the Gladiators of the Gridiron series. This is the third book in the series. I enjoyed everything in this series so far. Great character development, storyline and dialogue. I look forward to reading more books in this series and by this author.
