Gage has the talent. He has the dream. Yet real life keeps getting in the way. His grades are slipping, his father's sick and one chance at salvaging his spot on the team, lays in the hands of his greatest distraction. Becker is on her way to making her dreams into reality, when her fast pace hits a large speed bump. The big man on campus with the ego to match needs a helping hand. Can she let go of her preconceived notions and finally see the man. What I admire most about Nana Malone is that her stories are complex. Her sensual dance of seduction consists of every emotion under the sun. From the perfect to the not so perfect, she humanizes her characters by making them fight for their happily ever after. ( )

I've not read the first three books in this series and I plan to do that soon because Fox, Ransom, and Gage have been pretty amazing reads.

Becker has been through a tough time in the past and is now attempting to live some semblance of a regular college life. But getting trapped in a bathroom at a frat party one night and being forced to witness a couple get busy was not part of the plan. Being unable to keep her eyes the guy who catches her voyeurism, she bursts out of the room and escapes the party. Maybe it would be better to focus on studying and bagging a fellowship that will help her achieve her dream of being a writer. Breaking free of her overbearing father's domination over her life is the only way to preserve her sanity.

Gage has some pretty big shoes to fill and huge standards to live up to, what with being the youngest Coulter and all. So when his failing grade endangers his place on the basketball team he's forced to seek out a tutor. Only the tutor has a pair of eyes that have haunted him for a while.

Together they somehow figure out a way to fill the empty spaces in their lives and become each other's support, confiding their darkest secrets and deepest desires. But when in a fit of anger Gage spill Becker's secrets to the entire basketball team, he realizes that he's going to end up losing the only thing that he's ever really cared about besides his family.
