Blurb: A sweet all-American story of love and revenge.
Ambitious intern Ashton Bailey is about to get closer to her dream of being a sports announcer. All she has to do is prove that too-perfect-to-be-true NFL quarterback Evan Dawson isn’t quite as wholesome as his contract requires. It’s also the perfect opportunity to get delicious payback on the boy who broke her teenage heart. At least that’s her plan. But she forgot just how easy it is to crush on the irresistible charmer. #OhNoNotAgain.
Evan has a knack for getting through the opposing team’s defenses, and he won’t let this tall, redheaded knockout be the exception. He’s determined to make things right between them and earn back Ashton’s trust—and maybe her heart, too.
Then the press mistakenly announces their engagement, and Ashton and Evan find themselves going along with the lie. Now the whole world is watching as Ashton flirts with attraction and disaster. But while revenge is sweet, it just might come at the cost of something sweeter still.

Thoughts: Having been blown away by the previous two books in this series, I was very eager to read #Awestruck. Honestly, I love the author and her writing style, but this one is my least favorite in the series. It’s still good and worth the read, but when you compare it to the other two it is like comparing apples and oranges. The previous two stick out in your mind – even months later – and they really are in a class all their own. #Awestruck didn’t have that same impact. It was sweet, yet a little far-fetched….I liked the characters but sometimes the reactions were a little too extreme and overdone and just didn’t come off as believable. Don’t get me wrong it had some great moments….after all, this is an amazing author. This is just not my favorite from the series.
