Blurb:

A sexy standalone romance between a single dad athlete and the woman who got away!

Things that suck on my wedding day — walking in on my groom kissing another woman twenty minutes before the ceremony.

Things that suck worse? The woman he’s kissing is my mom.

I head straight for the bowling alley bar down the street and ask for a double. And in walks a deliciously charming local football hero — Harlan Taylor.

Yes, I’ll take another drink in the form of a one-night stand with this hunk of a man. In the morning, he asks if I want to get together again. More rebound nookie? Yes please!

But then I learn his football team just hired my yoga studio to teach downward facing dog to their star player, making my O-delivering hottie officially off limits.

Trouble is, the more time I spend working with the sexy single dad who dotes on his daughter, the more I’m feeling all the things far too soon.

There’s no way this can end well, but tell that to my runaway heart…

A Wild Card Kiss is a sexy, flirty sports romance featuring a charming, pie-baking, single dad who’s never forgotten the red-hot kiss he planted on the feisty, sassy blonde one night years ago and a jilted bride heroine determined to move on from heartbreak. This story contains sexy times that can cure getting-left-at-the-altar blues, and heart-tugging swoony romance that’ll melt the most jaded hearts.

Review

4.5 stars!

A Wild Card Kiss is a fun, fresh romantic comedy between a single dad sports star and the girl who got away. Before I talk about this story though, I need to mention the prologue novella, A Wild Card Night, that is included and sets the stage for this heartwarming love story.

In A Wild Card Night, Katie and Harlan meet at a wedding and there is an instant spark. They give us just a taste of heat and plan to see each other again soon. With a Tuesday night date on the book, they part ways at the end of the night. Only, that date never comes because life gets in the way.

Fast forward seven years and we dive into A Wild Card Kiss. When Katie and Harlan meet again, they still have that spark and they share an amazing night but they know that they aren’t really in a place to date. Months later seems like the perfect time but things change again when Katie is hired to work with Harlan’s sports team. Now, the connection they hoped to explore is forbidden so they try hard to push a relationship from their minds.

Harlan and Katie are awesome. Harlan is an incredible dad and I fell for him the moment he showed us how much he loves his daughter, Abby. I love his involvement with her and his relationship with her mother. He has his priorities straight and I found it very sexy. Katie has worked hard to make the yoga company she owns with her sister a success. She thinks of everyone else and doesn’t have a selfish bone in her body. I love that she knows what she wants and goes after it, and that she is always up for a challenge.

Harlan and Katie are so good on their own, but they are perfect for each other. Their chemistry is smoking hot and the sexual tension is palpable. It skyrockets when they start working together, however, since they can’t act on their feelings, it gives them time to really get to know each other. I love how much fun they have together and the time they spend being themselves. They are real and natural with each other, and there isn’t any drama.

Overall, I adored this book. I loved that Katie and Harlan got their chance to be together and I can’t wait for more from this series!
