Against the Rules (Wilmington Football #2)
Brittany Kelley
As a pro-cheerleader, dating a football player is forbidden- so there’s no way I’m telling anybody I drunkenly married one in Vegas. One night of fun turns into a morning of regret when I wake up hungover, fully clothed, and next to muscle-bound wide receiver Ty Matthews… and a phone full of evidence of our Elvis ordained nuptials. Talk about bad I can be kicked off the team for talking to a football player, much less marrying one. But after a night of spilling my darkest secrets, even playboy Ty knows exactly how to persuade me to stay married to him— he promises to fund my small business dreams if I convince his parents we’re together. Our so-called agreement is already off to a crazy I don’t want to lose my coveted spot on the cheer team, and we have to work to keep it a secret from almost everyone. Just when I start to think I can have it the money for my business, cheering for a pro-football team, and even an accidental husband who treats me like gold… the cracks begin to show. I don’t just stand to lose my spot on the team, either, because losing Ty Matthews might break my whole heart.

Thank you so much to the author for sending me an advanced copy of this. All thoughts and opinions are still my own.
After really enjoying the first book in this series, I was really excited about this sequel. I love the conversions the author introduced about the mistreatment and sexism surrounding professional dancers in the sports world.
And I still enjoyed that aspect in this book, despite the DNF. The way the heroine was objectified and forced into uncomfortable scenarios in the goal of "being sexier" was awful and my heart broke for her.
But unfortunately the married in Vegas plot meets alpha-hole/playboy hero meets forbidden romance meets marriage of convenience was too much. And honestly an overdone premise that I would like to not read again for a long hot minute.
With the plot being one I wasn't invested in, and the repetitiveness of the dialogue (the same conversations were played out multiple times between characters and as internal dialogue) with a hero I didn't care for, made this one I didn't care to continue with.
While it wasn't for me, I think this book could be a fun sports romance for someone looking for a classic married in Vegas, reformed playboy athlete romance. With the added element of the mistreatment of dancers in sports.
