Quarterback Keeper: A College Sports Romance (Fall Lake Ballers, Book 1) by Isla Vaughn – Review by Shea Gilkerson

Quarterback Keeper: A College Sports Romance by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This author has quickly become one of my favorites – the writing style, character development, balance of story with spice, just overall books I always devour because I enjoy them so much.

Kylian is a college football star with big NFL dreams. On the surface, he really has it all. He can have any woman he wants, people look up to him, and he has the world in the palm of his hands. Behind the scenes, he is a man with a terminally ill mother weighing on him as well as a manipulative father who is obsessed with his legacy and the political scene. When he gets on his boat and finds a woman hiding out, he takes advantage of an opportunity that didn’t seem like it could arise with anyone else.

Gia is the woman on Kylian’s boat and she is hiding from a past she is trying to outrun. When the incredibly handsome Kylian offers her an opportunity to fake being his girlfriend to make his sick mother happy, she recognizes it’s really a chance she can’t refuse in her current situation.

As Kylian and Gia present themselves as a couple for his mother, they never plan on doing anything but playing along. However, as they are together and facing different circumstances within their own situations, lines blur and feelings start to develop. They begin to share hopes, fears and dreams and recognize something within the other they might like to pursue. Will they be able to solve their issues together and check out the possibility of forever? Quarterback Keeper is a great mix of danger, attraction, suspense, sweetness and spice, and such a great introduction to their world. I’m really looking forward to reading further in the series.
