Blitz Review

When want-to-be PI Sydney Bucco lost her dad, she picked up the pieces, left home and never looked back. Now on the verge of losing another close family member she may be forced to do the same. But this time her job and her dream are the line. And there's only one way to save them--achieve the unattainable and make a multi-million dollar deal with the most wanted man in America.

Ray Carlson has always been great at two things: playing football and taking care of his little sister. But while he's away at college, scoring touchdowns and winning the hearts of fans, he drops the only ball that really matters. It's been four years since he last saw his sister and she's constantly on his mind, but so is the biggest decision of his career. As first ranking draft prospect, everybody wants a piece of him, and when his would-be agent is involved in a tragic accident, everyone comes running--including her assistant, Sydney. She's an amateur and she's desperate. But so is Ray and they soon forge an alliance to get the two things they want most in the world. Somewhere along the way, they get far more than they bargained for.

3.5/5

Sydney is a new inexperienced PI. Now though she works for her cousin Reese, who is in a coma. She works as Reese's assistant and when her cousin falls into a come, Sydney steps up. Reese works as an agent for football and basketball players. That's how she meets Ray.

There is Ray who cares only about football an his sister. But when he goes off to college he forgets his sister. Then Sydney shows up wanting him to sign with Reese but he won't unless she helps find his sister. But his sister wants nothing to do with him. Secrets come out and hurt everyone.

It was an okay book. Ray and Sydney start off not really liking each other. Eventually, despite what they want, they start having feelings for each other. I think that I needed to read her other books to really appreciate this story.

F.X. Scully loves romance, but she doesn't write your typical Happily Ever After. Because let's face it, in the real world, it can sometimes take a lot of angst and pain before you get there. And some of us never do. But since most of us pick up books to escape the real world, her stories don't lack hot boyfriends and sexy encounters. Neither will she leave you completely heart broken, sobbing into a tub of ice cream. Rest assured you'll be on a roller coaster, but you'll be glad you went along for the ride.
