Jenna Riley’s life is full of sport due to the fact that her brothers are professional athletes and she herself runs the family’s sport bar, so she made a promise “Never to date an athlete”. But all her well meant plans are turned upside down when the star hockey play Tyler Anderson enters her bar. Ty sees her as a challenge and tries everything to persuade her that he is the right man for her.

TAKING THE SHOT is a book that doesn’t only makes the heart of sport romances fans beat faster, but this book is one heck of a hot story. This real page turner had me glued to the pages. It can be read as a stand-alone, but I tell you that will want to catch up on Jenna’s siblings and their stories if you haven’t already done that.

Jenna is a great heroine, who is sassy and gives Ty a really hard time. The funny dialogues are part of what makes the book such a great story.

The Play by Play series combines great sport with hot love stories in the best way. It was also fun to see the other Rileys and their spouses again. The family dynamics are hilarious. I really hope that there will be many more books in this series, because Ms. Burton writes these sport romances like no other.

THIS IS NOT AN ENDORSEMENT OF THIS BOOK. THIS IS AN OBJECTIVE UNBIASED REVIEW
