 The story

 ALLIE HARRIS WANTS PAYBACK.


Her cheating ex deserves to see her living her best life; a one-night-stand with a hot South

African soccer player would be the perfect revenge. Right?

Wrong. Allie is so, so wrong.

ROAN DEWALT HAS ALL THE MOVES.On and off the field he’s at the top of his game. Roan respects hard-work, dedication—and
follow through. He’s not a one and done kind of man, and he’s far from being done with Allie

Harris.

One sexy night and two years later, Allie’s job brings her back to town. An opportunity for the

perfect replay Roan has been fantasizing about since they slept together.

THE PROBLEM?Allie Harris has a secret; one she’s been keeping from Roan all this time. Video proof of their

one night together—taken without his consent.

Will Allie’s payback plan come back to bite them both? Or can she erase her past mistake and

embrace a new future with Roan?


I must admit that I struggled. Sure, I knew what this book was about but I hadn't counted on Roan Dewalt. Roan is simply perfect and amazing, I loved his character, his dedication, and his loyalty so when Allie did what she did, I was a bit upset but, well, things happen and people are not always great at making decisions but when the time went on and her mistake was not rectified yet and she didn't come clean about it either, I could understand her on the one hand but on the other hand, well, it felt like a big, bad betrayal.

Sooo, I loved her character on the whole and I loved Roan, the story was great and different and of course, who could resist meeting the Harris family again? Apart from that though, I was upset and yeah, I guess that I didn't want to see Roan hurt (and Allie either) and had to remind myself not to skip pages when things got rough. Real love and all but with such a thing blowing up, well, the ramifications of that - just thinking of it make me shudder with horror.

Once again I must stress what an amazing person Roan is and seeing how vulnerable he is and how much of an impact the events have on his life, yup, that made me a bit furious. Still, Allie is also sweet and those two are in love and everything considered...am I speaking in riddles? Yes, sorry, I guess you'll just have to read this book yourself!

EXCERPT #1

Without warning, my uncle pushes open a set of double doors and leads me into a changing
room full of…
Naked. Soccer players.
Butt naked, wet or sweaty—I can’t quite tell—soccer players.
I catch sight of one guy flicking a towel at the bare ass of another, so I duck my head and shield
my gaze. Good-god, if I’m caught ogling several hanging members being swung about all willy-nilly,
I’ll be sure to lose my job! Be cool, Allie. Be cool. You’re one of the guys! And you’ve seen penises before!
I stumble behind Vaughn, who doesn’t miss a step as he continues marching on, walking past
loads more of naked soccer players positioned at their lockers. Seriously, why are they all completely
naked? Don’t they get cold? I thought shrinkage was a real thing! Nothing in this room is shrunken. Shranked?
Whatever…I can’t grammar right now, there’s dicks everywhere!
Vaughn rounds a corner to another set of lockers and states firmly, “Here we are.”

I look up just as my high heel catches on something beneath me. I make a move to extract it,
but my foot hooks on to whatever it is, holding my leg hostage while my body continues propelling
forward. Letting out a yelp, I brace myself for an epic tumble.
But instead of falling down on the concrete flooring like I thought I would, I end up face
planting into a chest. A very manly chest. A very manly, naked chest, whose pecs feel like two
smooth boulders tensing beneath my twitching fingers that are currently clinging on for dear life.
“Ag, careful…That bag’s a biter,” a familiar voice murmurs on the top of my head as two very
large hands wrap around my waist.
I look up and every organ in my body does a somersault as I stare up into the gorgeously pale
brown eyes of Roan DeWalt. My one-night-stand.
Who’s apparently not at all worried about shrinkage.

Do you want more? Well....you get it!

EXCERPT #2

Roan leans forward and fondles my hands. “Do you think your cousins will kill me if you and I
start spending more time together?”
“Time?” I croak, my voice catching in my throat. “In what capacity?”
“In the type of capacity where I buy drinks or food and you drink the drinks or eat the
food…Then we kiss at your front door.”
“That sounds like dating.”
He grins at me. “You’re skipping a couple of steps, Lis, but ag, you’ve been a fast mover since
the day we met, so I’m into this.”
Have I mentioned how much I love it when he calls me Lis?
I glance down at his drink. “You’ve had one beer with me and you’re already wanting to
commit to future time?”
“You forget that I spent the better part of twelve hours with you naked in a hotel room. I’m
basing our dating status on more than tonight. Tonight was just the confirmation I needed to make
sure that all the fantasies I’ve had about you are built on some semblance of reality.” He winks and
downs the rest of his beer in one gulp, his neck contracting in a really attractive way as he does. He
wipes the top of his lip and adds loudly, “That and I’ve seen you naked.”
I reach across the table and plant my hand over his mouth. “Will you please stop telling the
entire pub that you’ve seen me naked?”
The smile in his eyes is panty-melting. Once I’m certain he’s done humiliating me, I release his
mouth and shake my head at him. “Most soccer players would take a one-night stand and never look
back.”
He lifts his brows and shrugs. “I’m not like most soccer players.”
