Game Plan for a Novel

---

West rated it it was amazing Shelves: Ethan Dexter blew my socks off. This was sexy, sweet, endearing and yes, angsty but not because of immature drama I was gaga over Drew, loved Gray and now, Ethan! All I can think about now is sex. While he hasn't made a move and it's been years, he plans to. Whereas, Fi doesn't see him other than her brother-in-law's friend.

He's not her type - she doesn't do athletes, big muscular men or beards! As luck would have it, these two find themselves in the same place at the same time and Dex makes his move Like some damn porn star. His gaze snaps to my mouth, and his eyes narrow. Cherry Fi is bubbly, vibrant, snarky, funny and confident. Ethan is quiet, contemplative, sweet, smart, sexy and all pure broody male. And yes, Ethan is a virgin but you know what? That was the least interesting bit and that's saying A LOT. It might unnerve me except that I suspect he has a similar power over me.

And Fi, even with her past track record, she's so likable and true, and they SEE each other. These two together were golden! And when trouble did hit, it was so honest and so mature. There was no drama but real, raw and unadulterated feelings, conversations and actions. I highly recommend this! The entire series is a must read! Ethan, darling, a virgin you say? Let me school you on the ways of the world. I promise, I'll be gentle! View all 87 comments.

And The Game Plan turned out to be another winner. It made me all gooey inside. Kristen Callihan delivered another sexy, cute as Title: Kristen Callihan delivered another sexy, cute as ever sports romance that filled my heart and soul with warmness that spread all over my body. That woman knows exactly what to write to tick all the boxes! Not only can she captivate the reader with endearing storyline but create characters so complex they seem like real people.

The Game Plan was absolutely delicious read! I loved every part of it. It was sexy, flirty and funny. It is too good to pass up. It was so nice to be able to relax and enjoy this charming novel. I am dying to see what else will Kristen come up with. But want her I do. And now I'm going to have her. View all 31 comments. I loved it so much and I couldn't put it down! Fi and Dex are amazing!! I loved their characters so much and I just wanted to read more and more about them!! I love this series and this book is unique! I loved Gray and so far he was my favorite, but guys wait until you meet Dex!

Dex wants Fi from the first moment he meets her but he was afraid to make a move. Fi doesn't see him more than her brother-in-law's best friend because he is an athlete so he isn't her type. When Dex finds the opportunity to make his move things change. I love their flirting and banter. They are two different types of people who somehow managed to make the perfect couple! Fi is funny, smart and confident. She is exactly what Dex's needs!

The Game Plan

Dex made me melt all the time, I loved him so much! He is simply amazing.. If yes I really need him in my life!! He isn't as confident as Fiona but he has tender heart and this made me love him even more. He is so sweet and hot. I loved their electric and passionate connection. This is a funny, sweet, intense and hot story! Once more Kristen proved what an amazing author she is! An amazing story with lovable characters!!! I highly recommend it to everyone!

Fi is Ivy's younger sister and is a bit of a fly away in that she is always searching for something better. In her career to the men she sleeps with, that is until Ethan Dexter walks into her life. Dex is Grays buddy and after needing a small break from his job. Therefore Dex comes to stay with them for the week and that also includes Fi so they are in arms reach of each other during that time.

Ethan has always been the one to want Fi and not the other way round, that doesn't mean he doesn't make her hot and in need of some 'attention' when he looks in her direction in that intense needing way. They were such a sweet and devoted couple to each other from early on, and this story came with a lot of the feels I love to enjoy when reading Kristen's stories.

But Dex has been a very subdued in his past, if you've seen him about in the The Hook Up and The Friend Zone then you'll see how he's reserved and quiet. Yet here you see who he actually is here, see the fire he carries deep inside, see what kind of deep and devoted heart he carries for Fiona and see how he has felt like that for quite some time. And once they get together, there is a lot of The thing about Dex though is that he has never let anyone in until Fi said yes, she's always been his Forever. And he is a NFL player which comes with the press and being in the spotlight.

Therefore having a secret to keep, because frankly that's no else's F'n business, means that brought on a whole lot of publicity. Ethan wanted to keep Fi from it, yet it also put them both in the light and they had to deal with that as a couple and as individuals. The only reason I would say it's not a full 5 stars was because 'for me' I didn't fully feel a deep connection between them both. In the middle their is a lot of sex, and as a couple it lacked that chemistry for me. They were very sweet and in love, but it didn't carry the intense connection I felt with Gray and Ivy's book.

Saying that this is still a sexy sports romance, and I love this author, so will still recommend this and will continue to read on. Here's hoping Ronaldo gets a MM book of his own in the future..

And in Dex's case, he's been patient and he's been waiting for the right time We've met both Dex and Fi in the previous book.

Fi being Ivy's sister and Dex being best friends to both Gray and Drew.

So, it's a nice little group And it's certainly convenient when both Dex and Fi end up staying the week with Gray and Ivy. It all started with a dare. Fi was curious about "the beard" and Dex challenged her. It blew opened her world, not only seeing Dex for the first time but really seeing him. Dex certainly had no problem figuring things out and Fi was only too happy to steer him in the right direction if needed. However, Dex tells Fi to trust him and they will figure things out.

Situations are set up so that the future can be a possibility and of course, just when things get good, it all falls apart. Although it was a little hard to buy that someone like Dex who could read people so well would leave himself open like that! And while I liked how Fi took charge of things, it was a little surprising at who she kept it from and what happened because of it. The epilogue was amazing. I just loved seeing them all together!

So who's up next? Well, there are a few possibilities but my two front runners are Rolondo, if K. I would love to learn more about him! View all 41 comments. Game On 3 Author: Kristen Callihan Release date: November 1, Cliffhanger: No HEA view spoiler [Yes hide spoiler ] If you're a follower of Kristen Callahan or even if you're not , I can say with confidence that this is pretty much a sure bet. It's everything I love about her books: With each installment I read in this series, it just seems to get better and better. The witty bantering, the camaraderie of this group of friends-it promise Title: The witty bantering, the camaraderie of this group of friends-it promises laughs and a comforting warmth to settle over me until the very last page.

The couples she pairs together seem inordinately perfect for one another. This couple in particular really pulled at my heartstrings. Well, who am I kidding here? I have a little crush on the divine hero we're treated to this time around: If I wasn't already a fan of this series who makes it her mission to attain an advanced copy, I would be hauling ass to Amazon in the blink of an eye on release day.

Just look LOOK at that bearded, manly specimen. He caused a riot on Cover Reveal day. Is it any surprise? This is book three in the Game On series and I think now my favorite of the bunch. Ethan wasn't your typical romance reader's alpha male. He was a big hulk of a man who's sensitive and artistic-he's the steady rock of the group.

Authors tend to lean towards creating young athletes who are manwhores. They kind of go hand and hand and are what's expected which is why I love the deviation from that. Manwhores are fine and all, but I like some variety and this book delivers on that. This hero is such a fantastically built character. Strong, intuitive about others, the silent watchful type and someone everyone can depend upon.

His maturity in the relationship was extremely welcome and appreciated by this reader. Fiona is Ivy's sister from the Friend Zone. She's a sassy, independent woman inside a tiny, petite little package. In college, she was a little flighty, and a little bit wild. But now that she's gained a little more real world life experience, she's matured and grown. She's more settled, but not the happiest in her interior design job. With a ruthless co-worker making her life miserable, she takes a trip to visit her sister, brother-in-law, and nephew. But she gets a little more than she bargained for on her trip because Gray's old college teammate is also staying with them.

So then, why does that one impulsive kiss they share turn her molten and wanting like she's never experienced before? This couple had an immediate combustable chemistry to them and it only got hotter the longer you read. His mouth claims mine-needy, demanding, a complete counterpoint to the careful way he holds me. Hot mouth, gentle hands. I loved not only their adorable connection, but the raw emotion they created that was mirrored back in me.

They just absolutely, incredibly fit. I fell hard, head over heels. The premise is a pretty simple one: But a long distance relationship is in their future if they want to pursue a lasting, committed relationship together. With Fiona's job troubles and Ethan's career in the public eye, they have a lot to overcome. It never felt like there was unnecessary drama just for the sake of it, however. This book was everything I look for in a book, I couldn't give it any less than 5 stars.

My enjoyment was off the charts and it put the hugest smile on my face for a long time after reading it. I can't even tell you how many highlights I had of swoon worthy quotes from this hero, it made it difficult to only choose a few. This book is hitting my favorites list for sure. You're not going to want to miss out on this one. View all 57 comments. It all started with a dare.. Ethan's feeling have been develped from much longer than that.

For 2 years he did nothing to win Fionna , not even get her attetion so when the time has finally came nothing couldn't stop him making her his, to be with her. Each of them was seeking love, happiness, protection and content. Their connection was so strong that they couldn't fight it at all. Even though they tried to be reasonable about the distance relationships and the issues they were doomed to have, they decided that a try won't harm anyone.

Yet everytime they needed to separate after a weekend together they were miserable. What happens when you found your missing piece? Fionna was amazing character. I connected with her very fast because her fears, insecurities and feelings were so realistic. She was fierce, funny snd witty but she was lonely. She desired to feel wanted, loved and cherished - like every normal woman. She fell for Ethan and his sweet side which he only shows for her. She was a girl who was still seeking for true love for what she wants to do with her life as general.

I loved that she was so devoted to Ethan and even though she was scared of how their relationship will develop she was determined to fight for it. He was swoon worthy!!! This guy is a man who every woman would want. His reasons about keep his virginity were so honorable. It doesn't matter if we're a thousand miles apart or right next to each other, I will always want you. Because that's how it is when you find your forever. He wanted to feel wanted just like Fi. So when he met her 2 years ago he saw something in her. He was fascinated by her but kept his distance.

When they finally had a chance to know each other they both found out that they was searching the same things from life. She was the person who make him talk, laugh and feel.

Knowing the operative game plan: a novel tool for the assessment of surgical procedural knowledge.

And because when you know you JUST know they wanted to keep their relationship no mattet the cost. It was mature handling. No unnecessary stress, only real life issues. He was famous, she - his woman..

Also I just loved their hugs! What woman wouldn't like affection from the man she loves?! They were so cute, so refreshing and amazing. Plus the hot scenes! For a virgin he knows what to do with everything! These friends are not just friends, they are family and they support and protect each other fiercely!!! View all 64 comments. I can't say the same about Fi, though. I don't exactly know what didn't work so much for me in this book.

A bearded sexy mountain of a man who just happens to be pure uncharted territory? He has longed to play in the NFL his whole life…but his longing for Fiona Mackenzie over 2 years may just be his undoing. When Fi finally sees Ethan it is no less than amazing.

I was a hot mess of emotional upheaval. It was like reading a private moment of intense love and actually feeling it deep in my own soul! Callihan would not just let the happy love be…I mean the angst is pretty high but not completely devastating because even hundreds of miles apart and on completely differing life paths, Ethan has an amazing outlook and a true belief that they will be together. There is no entertaining the idea that they couldn't be, especially now that Ethan has had a taste of sweet Fi! Fi has fallen too!

I loved most everything about this read. I loved the intimacy. I loved the fight for what you love feel. I even loved the constant friend support from the first 2 books. The male bonding and banter made an already good story even better. I do however have a slight rant…I could say that I felt there was a bit of unnecessary drama that had Fi almost running and Ethan coming undone. View all 20 comments. Welch ein gelungener Sonntag! Aber das war dann hier gar nicht mehr so der Fall, da ihre Art null nervig, sondern eher erfrischend war. Er hat einen Bart! Muss ich mehr zu ihm sagen?

Auch das "Drama" in dieser Geschichte fand ich total nachvollziehbar und grausam zugleich. Ethan Dexter is a 24 year old virgin, now playing as a center in the NFL he decides he has been watching best friend Gray's sister in-law from afar for too long now and it's time to make his move. Fiona has never really looked at Dex as anything other than her brother in law's shy friend who is so not her type, she doesn't date athletes and she is not into the whole beard and man bun look either, so when her and Dex end up staying with Gray and sister Ivy at the same time after the birth of their baby, she is blown away by how completely gorgeous and swoony he is underneath his quiet exterior.

The speed of their relationship escalated fairly quickly and this book focuses on their struggles with a long distance relationship, Fiona's troubles at work, and Dex's displeasure at living in the public eye. The Game Plan is a very sweet and romantic read, and a lot more mature than the previous two books in the series.

Overall, I thought it was an OK read and am confident that a lot of readers will fall in love with it a bit more than I did. This series still remains one of my favourite NA sports romance and highly recommend it to anyone. Part of a series, this is a standalone contemporary romance told in dual POV.

If you are looking for heart, look no further. If you are looking for sexy, look no further. I honestly love these types of stories and Callihan knows how to deliver every time. Ethan Dexter is big, strong, burly, bearded, a professional NFL player and a virgin. So of course when Gray invites him to visit him for a week he jumps at the chance If you are looking for fun, look no further. So of course when Gray invites him to visit him for a week he jumps at the chance, especially after he learns Fi will be there, too.

Yes, this happens and I was so freaking excited. Despite Ethan being a virgin the story is super-hot! I also loved how Callihan used Ethan's virgin in the plot, it added an unexpected twist and kept the story moving. Fi may try to fight her feelings for Ethan, but Ethan is ready to jump right in. Let me tell you, I loved it! Ethan is totally swoon worthy and the perfect hero. I loved how he was honest and open, but not a pushover. Obviously there was drama in the story, there has to be, but it was all resolved timely and really just helped the story move.

I especially love how Ethan and Fi react like normal people and communicated. I know I am just rambling now about the things I loved, but seriously this story just hit something with me.

I think it would've given me a bit more background in this couple and I wouldn't have had the "insta-love" mental alert as I did here. Ethan Dexter has had his eye on Fiona Mackenzie for a 3.

Ethan Dexter has had his eye on Fiona Mackenzie for as long as he's known her sister Ivy fellow football player's wife and his co-agent.

When they both plan a quick trip to San Francisco to see Ivy and Gray's new baby, they find themselves seeking quiet solace away from the screaming kid in the same pub one evening. Fiona barely recognizes the guy with the full beard and longish hair with the hottest man bun! Loose lips, thanks to alcohol, where she admits she will never date an athlete and how clean-shaven men are her thing He offers her a feel of his beard and the rest we'll say is history All in all, The Game Plan was an enjoyable read rather low on angst, focusing on a couple trying to make things work with a long distance relationship with fame thrown into the mix.

Though I'm a bit reluctant to believe the lengths that he goes to deal with his self-imposed chastity. I think if the author had expounded more on the events causing his psychological trauma and ensuing banning of sex, I could possibly believe the need for pain to overcome Just, a virgin at his age, famous athlete and all- getting genital piercings seems very extreme to overcome urges from lack of sex.

But I'm not a man. I guess urges can be that strong? Go to the gym I'm not buying it. Thank god for ovaries. I'm especially interested in Gray and Ivy's book. My interest in piqued. Advanced copy received by author in exchange for my honest review. View all 30 comments.

Oct 26, Hulya Kara Yuksel rated it it was amazing.

D Oh my goodness, where should I start? Ethan literally took me on the pink clouds. He has long hair, beard, tattoos like a lot D Well, I don't know you but for me those piercing was highlight of this book. P Yeah, sometimes I can be a total shallow person. D And ugh I wish my husband has one of those things or hmm maybe I should talk with him.

Who knows maybe I can convince him about this. D Here is the thing, I'm a married woman with a perfect man but dammit when I start to read this book I completely forgot my husband. I mentally cheated him with Ethan. Ahhh I'm going to hell for this. D sorrynotsorry Umm anyway, what was I saying?

Uh I forgot but let's go back to piercings because they're so fucking sexy!!! P LOL but beside this stuff Ethan was an amazing man. He always thoughts others, he's a caring person, he's sweet and kind and he totally stole my heart. Actually I loved Drew 1st book and I also loved Gray too 2nd book but when I start to read this book I literally forgot them even my husband too. They were sooooo freaking HOT and Ethan literally wet my panties. D Sooooo overall I highly recommend this series to you because you should seriously meet with this sexy and funny guys ASAP!

The second time I came across it was - I'll just finish this chapter So, you can see how I got to the end of The Game Plan and the author's notes finally prompted me to find out why Ethan Dexter was doing a Tebow. Each to their own and all that jazz, but it's kind of scary that our society is s Crikey Jim Mikey Each to their own and all that jazz, but it's kind of scary that our society is shocked and almost horrified that a 24 year old man chooses to stay pure.

Even if you willingly decided to protect your honour, it would be hard to avoid being exposed to the sins of the flesh. The fact that Dex managed to keep his legs crossed that long until he found "the one" shows that you definitely can't judge a book by its cover Poor Fi, this review could easily turn into a homage to the great, sexy and amazingly sweet Ethan, so I'll just say that she's a pretty cool character. Everyone thinks of her as a flighty Tinkerbell, but deep down she's just trying to find her groove.

We see her struggle through issues with her work, family and the budding relationship with a famous football star. By the end you can't help but admire her strength and question how you would or could handle what she faced. She is perfect for Ethan. Ethan Dexter is introduced as Add in the fact that he's not an egotistical jerk, thinks before he speaks, is a baby whisperer, willing designated driver and can sing Well almost, if Kristen Callihan had made him a gourmet chef, we probably would have thought she'd got her genres mixed up and created a mythical creature.

Luckily by the end we realise that Dex has struggled keeping up the perfection and he definitely becomes very real. The storyline was great and kept me interested from start to finish. I loved the characters both main and supporting and the sexy times were sizzling. The only reason this wasn't a 5 star read is because the one thing that stood out for me in the first two is the intelligence and control Drew and Gray show.

Don't get me wrong, Dex showed the same control in the first two books but in his own we see him "loose it" more than once. I understand why, but unfortunately it still disappointed me. I loved finding stories where the big men knew their size and anger intimidated and stopped before acting out their frustration. This was the first one where he wasn't able to reign it in, words or actions. He doesn't turn on Fi, but she could easily have been hurt as a consequence of his "mantrum".

I love The Game On Series and really hope we get more.

Jodi and Danny had great banter and chemistry while the author placed some laugh out moments in the beginning of the story. Still, the idea of going 3. Still, the idea of going to Orlando, Florida with the whole Bradford clan had me excited to read on. I was starting to want more from these two as a couple and I was looking forward to park antics etc. What I got was day upon day of them in bed hiding from the clan. It was hilarious the first time Jodi had the bad reaction to medication but the idea was totally overused and overdone.

Overall, I love the Bradfords and this story started out crazy funny but lost a lot in the repetitiveness and lack luster ending and relationship between the two. I'm forever a fan and this had a lot of standout moments nonetheless. View all 79 comments.

A Sneak Peek at the next Neighbor from Hell….. It also made the burning sensation a lot worse. She barely noticed when he yanked off her shoes, socks and went for her pants, but she definitely noticed when he went for her bra. Then he bent over and pulled off his socks and threw them out of the shower. He stood up and quickly undid his pants and shoved them down, revealing a pair of tight fitting black boxer briefs that left very little to the imagination. When he stood up and ran a hand through his wet hair, her gaze raced to follow the move, taking in the puckered pink scar and the raised straight line that ran through it on an otherwise droolworthy set of abs, up to the Marines tattoo that he had on his chest, the one that she may have found herself thinking about a time or two, and finally up to meet his gaze and immediately regretting it.

He looked serious, really serious, and determined as he sent her a hard glare. She looked down and sure enough, her body was covered in angry looking red streaks and splotches right where her skin burned and itched like crazy. With each passing second the burning and itching only got worse. I can do it myself. She had a similar reaction when he did the same with the other bra strap. Every inch of her body was covered in what appeared to be hives, large, angry looking hives that were noticeably raised.

Only the fear that she would make things worse was stopping her from scratching every inch of her body. Those bags were yours? The pain multiplied, forcing her to slap her hands against the shower wall and grit her teeth together as she thought of another way to kill the bastard. View all 11 comments.

I really like this series but it's getting a bit boring hearing about all the Bradford's constant eating and the getting banned from buffet restaurants etc.

This book features Danny who is one of the Bradford cousins and his little librarian neighbour who he loves to torment. Jodi has an allergic reaction one day to some radioactive food cooked by a Bradford wife and Danny takes it upon himself to look after her in her time of need.

The story is pretty much her hating on him, him determined to woo the girl that he has realised he wants to marry and Jodi quite often requiring medicine for various ailments. Oh, did I tell you that Jodi has a strange reaction to medicine? She literally acts like she's high as a kite if she so much as takes a headache tablet and although it was quite funny the first time, it soon wore thin for me. I did enjoy it, but there was nothing particularly exciting going on here. It could have been a lot better but it kept me occupied quite nicely for a few hours: View all 29 comments. Danny was a great Bradford as well.

However, I struggled to connect with him and the heroine Jodi, a. To be honest, I was a bit bored for most of this book. There were a few times that I did chuckle, but I did not do any "rolling on the floor laughing" like I am use to with the books in this series. I was happy to see my favourite Bradford men Jason and Trevor in this one.

And I did think the steam in this book was pretty hot! But it wasn't enough to really get my complete interest in the story. The second part did get marginally better for me, but not by too much. I did enjoy this somewhat, but it was probably my least favourite of the series. After the epilogue, I am still very much looking forward to next book and keeping my fingers crossed that it will be as hilarious as the previous books have been. View all 31 comments.

Danny Bradford is a planner, from a young age he had wanted to be a doctor and a single mistake cost him almost everything. Danny wants what his cousins have; a wife who loves them, children to equal adore and be terrified of. Now Danny has decided that Tink is his, he will make her fall in love with him and he has perfect game plan for it. The book had the usual NFH series things; usual R. L humor, quirky and a extremely good cook for a heroine. It also opposites attract and enemies to lovers trope. The couple had great chemistry, funny banter and ofcourse the book had a very dysfunctional family whose love for food shows no restraint.

Jodi spends almost half of the book in her drugged up state which makes hyper and incapable of rational reasoning. Same goes with the reaction is utter horror after going out to eat with the Bradfords. I would have liked to know what exactly they did to cause that reaction in the heroines rather than reading about it again and again. It was about two really important things in the books. He was an ass to his son and because of that he made Danny miserable. The thing is he never apologized for his behavior which pushed Danny away.

He instead blamed Danny and Danny was ok being responsible for the whole thing, Danny was a child at the time. Overall , this ended up being a ok read, which was funny at the start. The next book in the series will be about Darrin and Marybeth from the looks of the teaser at the end of the book.

Dec 27, Nikki rated it liked it Shelves: So the Bradford saga continues on with Danny Bradford, cousin to Jason still awesome! Danny loves to torment his cute, little neighbor across the hall, Jodi or otherwise known as Tink. Shenanigans ensue, and this is the Bradford clan, we got some crazy ass shit going down.

Apparently, it packs quite a punch after its been discarded, and let me tell you I was laughing so hard I damn near tinkled myself. Yes like the 1st 2 times, but more in a bit. The whole glitter and glue exorcism of Jodi was also hilarious, but little dude creeped me out, for realz. All of this is fine and dandy, but then we get stuck in a spin cycle or something cause the same stuff is regurgitated over and over.

Or at least show us how in the hell this family can get banned from everything? Perhaps something like this? I think that would have been hilarious to see play out, but alas no, we just see the usual aftermath with ladies crying and guys bleeding. Danny and Jodi were funny and hot, and the book was hot too.

The sex scenes were steamy, but even that felt repetitive towards the end. I wished there would have been some more family interaction too, there were plenty of opportunities. And the pappa drama? So overall, unfortunately wasn't my fav of the series, that still belongs to Jason, but still liked it. I know it doesn't seem like I did, but I love my Bradford's and expected a bit more from the crew: View all 12 comments. The jokes were funny View all 13 comments.

Sep 22, Kate's Corner rated it really liked it Shelves: Weddings imply that some planning went into it and the bride was asked when what it really comes down to is a kidnapping, a terrified Justice of the Peace, a quick ceremony and a race across town to have the marriage consummated before the bride comes to her senses and gets the marriage annulled. Mathewson can do no wrong with this series.

In saying that though I tend to ignore book 3 it doesn't count. But for this one I give 4 stars. Some jokes were the same b "Bradfords don't have weddings. Some jokes were the same but there were also new ones. Jodi aka Tinkerbelle has what? Yes the neigbour from hell. She has had a tough year and doesn't need grief, means avoiding Danny Bradford.

That is until she comes in contact with Zoe's cooking. View all 8 comments. Sep 16, Elizabeth rated it liked it. I need books 4 and 5!!!!!

Nov 03, Mo added it. Very disappointing as the others in the series were great. Maybe should have checked some friends reviews before starting it. Another funny sexy and sometimes incredibly frustrating installment. What makes these stories work so well is that even when the characters are acting selfish, rude, arrogant and irritating..

And also when her heroes fall. View all 10 comments.
