Happy BOOK BIRTHDAY wishes are in order for the latest addition to the SWEET SPORTS KISSES 💋 series from author Britney M. Mills...
About the book...
He’s a pro on the field—but a disaster in front of a camera. She’s got one rule: no falling for clients.
Clark
I can dodge defenders and score from midfield, but stick a camera in front of me and I fall apart. After one brutal interview clip went viral, I’ve done everything I can to avoid the spotlight. Now my team’s bringing in some PR fixer to clean up my image.
Great. Just what I need.
Except the fixer turns out to be her.
Jessa Stratton—my best friend’s older sister, the girl who always rolled her eyes at me, and now the one person I’m definitely not allowed to fall for. Too bad my heart didn’t get the memo.
Jessa
I’ve worked hard to build my career helping athletes manage the media—and I follow one rule: never date a client.
So of course my next assignment is Clark Denton. My brother’s best friend. The guy who stole my car and brought it back looking like a disco ball.
But he’s not just the cocky player I remember. He’s focused, vulnerable, unexpectedly thoughtful… and I’m starting to see way too much good in him.
I just have to keep it professional. Easy, right?
Right?

Brother's friend falling for the little sister, only this is many years after either were little, and the brother isn't there to actually prevent anything from happening. 😉
Don't get me wrong! Jessa is a professional, but she's had one REALLY LONG bad relationship that just ended (good riddance!), and the change of scenery that's brought her back to familiar territory isn't unwelcome; in fact, it was a choice, even if the client was unexpected. Clark is a serious athlete, but he needs more than just a pretty face, and warm heart to reach the next level in his sport. He needs to get out of his head when the cameras are turned on him, or he'll risk putting himself on the sidelines over a PR fail earlier in his career. Familiar faces can't hurt when it comes to sorting out both of their future paths, but what if they happened to (LA)CROSSE more than just professionally...and for the better?
Pardon the obvious wordplay there, I couldn't resist! 🙃 This was my first time reading a book in this series, but I must say, I rather enjoyed it! The characters were likable, and relatable. There was so much heart displayed in both our leads, I'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite... seriously, don't make me do it! The story, while novella in length, was still long enough to carry my interest, and had enough backstory to get me into their world without a backward glance. While I can't say I know a lot about the sport, it wasn't written in technical terms that a non-player/fan wouldn't be able to follow, and in fact might spark some interest for others to learn more!
The perfect chance for a weekend reading escape with plenty of other titles to explore should you desire more!
