Title: Intended for Bristol
Series: Second Chances
Author: L.P. Dover
Genre: Romantic Suspense
L. P. Dover’s tantalizing Second Chances series scores once again as the Carolina Cougars’ infamous bad boy takes a shot at seducing a driven career woman who’s supposed to be out of bounds.
Trying to live down his very public indiscretions, Carolina Cougars kicker Jaxon Reed feels like the most hated man in the NFL. Fans and teammates alike treat him with the disrespect he figures he deserves. Unfortunately for them, Jaxon’s no easy target. As payback, he sets his sights on the quarterback’s sister: a sultry brunette who’s curvy, confident, and sexy as hell. But what begins as a revenge fling turns into so much more—a lesson in humanity, and in love.
Bristol Thomas doesn’t have time for games, especially those played by her brother’s Neanderthal teammates. A talented interior designer with lofty goals, she doesn’t know the first thing about football, or Jaxon—except that he’s exactly the type of man she usually avoids. But when his deep laugh and deeper kisses break through her walls, she becomes the target of a fan who’s obsessed with Jaxon. Now she needs to know that Jaxon has her back . . . because he already has her heart.
**Intended for Bristol is an Interconnected Standalone in the Second Chances Series**
Intended for Bristol is the ninth title in the Second Chances series. Like the other titles in this series, Intended for Bristol, is well written and the characters are quite intriguing. Jaxon in particular is an interesting character who is at times both frustrating and annoying, he's far from perfect, but quite endearing all the same. Those who are familiar with this series will be aware of his past exploits. He's frankly a bit of an ass and a player both on and off the football field. I really enjoyed seeing the redeeming side of Jaxon, and seeing the other side of his character. The caring, loving, nurturing side that hasn't been evident in previous books.
Bristol is an honest, sweet, witty and smart character. She's a woman who has been burned by a relationship with a professional sportsman in the past. She's a workaholic, and keeps to herself as a way to avoid being hurt again.
This book is full of twists and turns, drama, secrets and suspense. I found it to be quite entertaining and engaging. It was great to see so many previous characters appear within this book.
This book has elements of angst, deceit, humor, drama, heat and suspense. It's quite full of action and I look forward to seeing what Ms. Dover has in store for us next in the coming year!
Hey,” I squealed, waving my hand in the air. I was so happy my brother would finally get to meet Jack.
He walked toward me with a smile, but when he caught sight of Jack, that smile turned into an all-out heated glare. “What the fuck are you doing here?” he growled, quickening his pace.
Jack froze and gripped my arm, grumbling, “Shit,” before pulling me around to face him. “Bristol, listen to me. This isn’t how I wanted you to find out.”
Everything was happening so fast, I didn’t know what to think. “Find out what?” I asked desperately.
Before he could reply, Ryan ripped me out of Jack’s hold and pushed him away. Jaw tense, Jack was ready to fight, but I couldn’t let that happen. “Ryan, stop!” I shouted, digging my nails in his shoulder.
Jerking his head around, he glared straight at me. “Do you even know who this cocksucker is? He’s playing you to get back at me.”
I threw my hands in the air. “What the hell are you talking about? How do you even know him?”
Jack’s eyes never left mine, the anguish on his face making me sicker by the second. I had a feeling I wasn’t going to like what came out of Ryan’s mouth. He scoffed incredulously and spat at Jack. “He’s Jaxon fucking Reed, the asshole on the team I’ve been telling you about. Don’t tell me you didn’t know?”
Jack stepped forward, but then again, that wasn’t his name. It was Jaxon Reed.
