Synopsis ~
Three people.
Three motives. Three reasons.
When the game leaves the field in the
second book in the USA Today bestselling BY HIS GAME series and mixes with sex,
lies, and betrayal, the future isn't the only thing on the line...
Macey Kelly has sworn off men. Unless
they’re going to zip in and out of her apartment—and her vagina—quicker than
they can give her an orgasm, she’s not interested. Finding out her boyfriend of
three years got her cousin pregnant was a total confidence knock. Luckily for
Macey, confidence is
something she has in abundance, so all
Mitch’s asshole move did was make her pretty cynical toward men.
The last thing Jack Carr needs at the
start of the season is for a dark-haired, sexy as sin, gyspyesque beauty to be
consuming his thoughts. Football is his life, which leaves no time for girls.
Unless they’re the love ‘em and leave ‘em girls. Becoming one of the best
running backs the league has ever seen by racking up the yards is his top
priority… not bedding Macey Kelly, despite her affinity for blow jobs and total
sexual abandon.
Avoiding each other is the perfect
solution, but when your best friends are in a serious living together kind of
relationship, that isn’t always an option. Sometimes, sex on tap is the easiest
option. And the sweetest.
Until Mitch shows up with a bombshell that
could shatter Macey’s perfectly carved out life. It’s been a year, but he isn’t
giving her up, not now he has a chance at winning her back. And he knows her
buttons. Every single one of them.
Unfortunately for him, Jack Carr isn’t a
loser. The star running back has his eye on the Vince Lombardi—and on Macey.
But seeing her hanging between them both isn’t something he’s down with, not
when he discovers why she’s so against anything more-ish, as she puts it.Macey
quickly realizes she’s the ball being passed between two desperate yet opposing
teams, and that only one of them can score the touchdown. But will the winner
be the guy she lived with and loved for three years, or will the winner be the
guy who understands her and makes her body come alive?
In this game, someone will be sidelined,
and calling the play isn’t always as easy as it seems.
(SIDELINED is a
full-length, standalone novel. It's not necessary to read BLINDSIDED before
this book, but it is advised.)

Excerpt ~
“You’re not
goin’ anywhere, baby.” He steps closer, his fingers twitching, his breath
ghosting across my neck. “At least, you ain’t fuckin’ moving until you’ve told
me why you’re avoiding me.”
“Isn’t it obvious? You and I are cut from the same
cloth, Jack. We don’t do the post-sex thing.”
“Yet here we are.”
“It’s unfortunate.”
“That what you call it?” he laughs, low and husky.
“Yep.” I drink.
“Put the drink down, M,” he whispers. “It’s fucking
with you.”
“Really? I thought that was you fucking with me,” I
respond, turning to him and pressing a hand against his chest. “What the hell
are you doing here?”
Like, right here. Literally.
“It’s my best friend’s birthday.” He smirks. “Why’ve
you been staring at me all night like you wanna suck and bite my cock
simultaneously?”
“I assure you it was the latter.”
“Sure it was.” Jack steps closer to me again, and I
grab my glass with the hand closest to him so I don’t grab his ass or
something, ‘cause, shit. He has a sweet-as-hell ass.
“It was.” I drink. Again. Where the hell are my girls?
“I feel like dancing.” I finish the glass and twist my body away from his.
His hand finally falls from me as I stalk toward and
then down the stairs. I slip into the moving crowd, but I’ve barely moved my
hips when two large, strong hands clasp me and tug me backward. The wall of
muscle my back slams into is solid, and I exhale on a whoosh even as I close my
fingers against the ones clasping my hips.
“Nice try, baby,” Jack says into my ear. “Run if you
want. I’m a running back. I’ll chase you and catch you every fuckin’ time.”
“Sounds like a promise you can’t keep, doll,” I reply,
my breath catching when he moves my hips against his.
“Sounds like a promise you’re afraid of.”

Jack Carr.....yes please!
I am a huge fan of Emma Hart's writing and enjoyed Blindsided, (His Game #1) but she really nailed it with Jack and Macey's story. It was so intense I couldn't help but love it!
Yes, Jack Carr has a filthy mouth and is quite possessive of someone he claims not to want but who is he trying to convince, himself or Macey. She's just as stubborn. Trying to persuade herself that Jack is no more than a casual lay.....friends with REALLY good benefits.
Both still reeling from the deception and hurt of their past relationships they agree to "casual" on demand sex. But when they both realize it's becoming something "more" their pasts come back to put them to the test!
I loved Macey's sass and Jack's overbearing, protective sexy ways. We get some super steamy scenes, a laugh here and there at their banter and a few "awwww" moments.
Although this can be read as a standalone, I would recommend reading Corey and Leah's story first as the characters are intertwined throughout the series. Looking forward to what Emma has up her sleeve for Reid's book......Intercepted.

Blindsided
(His
Game #1)
~
Synopsis ~
From Emma Hart,
the New York Times bestselling author of the Game series, comes a brand new
series where the game is realer, the tension is tighter, the sex is hotter, and
the stakes are the highest of all…
Two people. Two agendas. Two games.
What happens when the out-there It-Boy of
football meets the secret It-Girl of fashion?
As the daughter of Hollywood’s sweetheart,
Leah Veronica can’t even buy a coffee without finding her face on a magazine
stand, so it’s no wonder she’s launching her first fashion line in secret. With
it debuting at New York Fashion Week in just under a month, extra time in the
spotlight is the last thing she needs.
The son of the best quarterback the league
has ever seen, filling legendary shoes as the L.A. Vipers’ quarterback was
inevitable for Corey Jackson. So was meeting Leah Veronica—the first girl to
hand him his ass without putting a hair out of place.
Getting the handsome, prickly blonde into
his bed becomes his number one goal. But getting the sexy, over-confident
footballer the hell away from her becomes Leah’s—at least until she realizes
the best way to do that is to give him what he wants.
If only it was that simple.
When Corey discovers who she is, and
private photos of Hollywood’s finest find their way online, everything they
thought they knew is thrown into disarray.
And when secrets are exposed and hearts
are shattered, they have to figure out if they’ve been blindsided by love or
reality, and if it’s worth running the extra yard to win the game they never
meant to play.

~ About the Author ~
By day, New York Times and USA Today
bestselling New Adult author Emma Hart dons a cape and calls herself Super Mum
to two beautiful little monsters. By night, she drops the cape, pours a glass
of whatever she fancies - usually wine - and writes books.
Emma is working on Top Secret projects she
will share with her followers and fans at every available opportunity.
Naturally, all Top Secret projects involve a dashingly hot guy who likes to
forget to wear a shirt, a sprinkling (or several) of hold-onto-your-panties hot
scenes, and a whole lotta love.
She likes to be busy - unless busy
involves doing the dishes, but that seems to be when all the ideas come to life.
