About this ebook

This tight end is at the top of his game.

He’s good with his hands, even better with his sexy mouth, and the best at making me forget my own name. His—ahem—stats are perfect.

But I can’t fall for him.

He might be everything I want, all rolled into a glorious package of gridiron god, but there’s one teeny-tiny problem. The vile, loathsome team I’ve spent my entire life hating—my beloved school’s arch-rival?

This guy is their star player.

Ratings and reviews

Now I have to say hawt dyuuummm with The Rivalry written by Nikki Sloane! I love all of Nikki's writing and how dark they can get and a little risky. With the Rivalry she adds some sugar but keeps the spice. I love sports romance, but this book is hotter than I have read in a long time. I now think of the tight ends of football and Jay comes to mind. No lie, I am comparing football players to fictional characters and I DO NOT CARE lol. Kayla is my kinda girl. I could totally relate with her for the love of the game. When you bleed the game, you become it. When she and Jay start their cat and mouse game, I would have thrown the white flag up at the get go. The Rivalry will make you laugh, swoon, and feel bashful. Then we get the hot yummy sexy scenes and you are left wanting more. Then more is what you get! I love seeing this side of Nikki's writing. I did not put this book down!

What happens when you meet a guy you really, really like and then you find out he’s playing for your team’s biggest rival? Can you just ignore it and behave as if it doesn’t exist? Will your relationship survive the differences. This is Kayla and Jay’s problem. They met by chance at the wedding of their best friends and hit it off right away. The banter between them was sweet and sexy. The chemistry was immediate and hot. Kayla was all for having a good time with Jay, but then he disappeared. When she finally gets ahold of his best friend to get his phone number, she’s told he can’t give it out, but tells Kayla where Jay hangs out. It’s not what she was expecting. At all!! Jay goes to school at the University of Michigan, Ohio State’s arch rival and this is Kayla’s school where she is the captain of the cheerleading squad. Even worse in Kayla’s eyes Jay is their star player. It’s not exactly a match made in heaven as far as their teams are concerned. Kayla tries to play off her attraction to Jay at the beginning, in fact she’s downright hostile and it’s amazing how he even bothered to persevere with her. But as we know, especially in our book worlds, in not in real life, when you know that you’ve found the right one, you’ll do damn near anything to win their love. That’s Jay all over. Kayla, not so much. So, will Jay get what he wants or will he fumble the ball. Can Kayla let go of her reservations and take their relationship to the Rose Bowl. Will there be a last second touchdown for the win? Tackle you copy now and discover the truth of The Rivalry.
