Part of Team Player: A Sports Romance Anthology. Jolie Louis is a smart girl. She knows that her best friend, Sage Poirier, is a bad idea. He’s a walking, talking cliché. The Adonis quarterback with the bulging biceps and harem of fangirls trailing behind him on campus like a stench you can’t get rid of. Sadly, that’s also the reason she can’t stay away from him.

I received an arc in exchange for an honest review.
This is the first book that I have read by L.J. Shen.It was pretty cute and predictable. Girl is in love with best friend, guy realizes he wants her after someone does, a little drama and happy ending.
I really wanted to slap Sage in the beginning. Lord was this guy stuck on himself! Narcissistic much? Eventually, he changed it around for Jolie. Jolie had some moments that make me want to shake her too. She jumps to conclusions so damn quickly! Take a breather and talk to the man.Geez.
The did have some steamy moments. Really steamy! L.J. Shen can write a hot scene. I also liked the banter between these two. They were hilarious and had chemistry as friends as well as lovers.
Overall it was a good novella, just nothing that wowed me.
