Desert Football Book 2: Quarterback Drill by Christie Gordon

Desert Football Book 2

Breaking down in front of a repair shop wasn’t what I needed. Neither was falling for the broody mechanic under the hood.

Casey
Football is my future—my escape, my identity.
But when my Beamer craps out in a sketchy part of town, I meet Ryker Hart, the grumpy mechanic who calls me a pretty boy and still makes my stomach flip.
Fixing my car turns into coaching his brother, crashing dinners, and falling harder than I should.
He’s rough around the edges and hiding his pain.
But when he lets me in, I want everything.
Even if that means risking my career before the draft.

Ryker
I don’t have time for cocky quarterbacks with BMWs and perfect smiles.
I’m busy keeping my shop running and my kid brother on track after our mom landed in prison.
But Casey Carter crashes into my life like he owns it, and somehow ends up coaching my brother, eating dinner with us, and making me laugh like no one ever has.
He shouldn’t want a guy like me.
And I definitely shouldn’t be dreaming of a future with him.

Quarterback Drill is book 2 of Desert Football and features a sunshiny quarterback, a grumpy mechanic, secret heartaches, brotherly bonds, emotional healing, and a swoony attraction that turns explosive. Expect dirty talk, dirty hands, and a love that refuses to stall out.

Buy now and fall for the boys who fix more than just engines.

My Review: 4/5 Stars

When Casey’s car breaks down in front of an auto shop, he never imagines the broody hot mechanic will be the love of his life. Having only fell in love once and it ending with a broken heart, Casey has stuck to hook ups only. And with his attraction to Ryker, he figures that they can have a fun time together and move on. But Ryker isn’t anything like Casey expected. He challenges Casey in only the best ways. And he has his own responsibilities, like taking care of his brother since their mom went to jail and running his auto shop to pay the bills. But Casey ends up being good for Ryker too. He reminds Ryker to take time for himself and have fun. To do something for him and not for everyone else. And when Casey starts coaching Ryker’s brother, Ryker gets to see a different side to Casey than the sunshine cocky quarterback. Their futures are undetermined but the more time they spend together, the harder they fall. And letting go of one another doesn’t feel like much of an option. Casey and Ryker’s story was a good one! I enjoyed their opposite personalities that balanced one another out. The two deserve some happiness and it was sweet to watch them fall for one another. Can’t wait for the next book in the series! 

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
