Rory Garrett’s life is currently a disaster: her business partner steals her products and disappears; her spoiled neighbor, Ashley, ends up dead; and she has a steamy, ill-advised one-night stand with a man who mistakes her for a sex worker. When her brother, NFL quarterback Clint Garrett, is sought in connection with Ashley’s death, Rory is shocked to find that the one person who can help her find her brother is that sexy mistake she hoped to forget—Brett Rivers, her brother’s agent. Slick and perfect, Brett is enchanted with Rory and her broken-down food truck and furious over the attraction that he can’t deny. Now he’s being forced to choose between his client, his job, and his chance at love. Return to the world of sports agents and their rich and talented clients in Phillips’s 10th sexy, sports-themed “Chicago Stars” novel (following When Stars Collide).
VERDICT Funny and engaging, with twists and turns that keep it moving. Newbies to the series and even sports-averse readers will appreciate this modern-day Cinderella tale from Phillips.
