Cocky football star Knox Fisher has been driving me crazy for years.
I’m one of the few female coaches in the league. I shouldn’t want someone who has the power to jeopardize my entire career, especially someone seven years my junior.
But I can’t stay away.
We keep the sizzling chemistry between the two of us.
A glance here. A touch there. I live for the stolen moments with him.
I know he wants more, but more is dangerous. If anyone saw us together, I could lose my job and be blackballed from the league.
There’s no way this relationship can end with anything but a broken heart, yet I can’t resist him.
I might be his coach, but this player is about to teach me a thing or two about love.
Illegal Contact is book 4 in Denver Mountain Lions series, but I read it as a stand alone as I hadn’t read any of the previous books. I was drawn to this because its a forbidden romance with a woman in an unconventional job: football coach. I gravitate towards books with women taking over a “mans” world.
Knox is totally smitten with Frankie and it is adorable. But, she bears all the danger-she could lose her job and be run out of football. So, most of their romance is super secret. I liked both characters and enjoyed their journey. Their chemistry is hot for sure! I thought Illegal Contact was a good read and will be a hit for readers who like forbidden romance but don’t want it to be creepy (I do NOT like student/teacher romances because that isn’t forbidden-it’s illegal). I thought the pace was a bit slow for my taste. That is really my only dislike!

Illegal Contact
Yeah Teacher Student books are very dicey that is for sure. It just depends on the set up for me. But yeah its illegal as I have had a friend suffer the consequences of this. So if there is a minor for it I struggle with it. But if they are both adults, I am more good with it.
