About this ebook

Fans of Meghan Quinn, Lisa Suzanne, and Vi Keeland will enjoy this steamy romantic comedy from USA Today Bestselling author of contemporary romance, Tracy Solheim featuring a kilt-wearing football player who is about to be deported back to Scotland.

It was supposed to be just for kicks...

Andi Larsen learned early on there is no such thing as fairy godmothers. A childhood spent in foster care will do that to a girl. She’s working her way through night school and is on the cusp of establishing her own business without help from anyone, thank you very much. But when her deadbeat ex steals her identity, amassing a staggering debt in her name, her fairy godmother appears in the guise of a spunky, Fireball whisky-wielding septuagenarian. The older woman’s solution for Andi? Tie the knot with a kilt-wearing, moody jock whose legs look sexier in a skirt than hers do.

Declan Fletcher never intended to be a place-kicker for a professional football team. But fate had other plans. Exiled from his beloved Scotland a decade ago, Dex is now a superstar athlete known throughout the league as the “Man with the Million Dollar Leg.” But when a mix-up in his immigration paperwork threatens to send him home before the season begins, he’ll do anything to avoid deportation and facing his greatest mistake. Even if it means marrying a pink-haired waif of a lass with eyes that seem to see everything he’s determined to keep hidden.

A grumpy cat, nosy teammates, and a sizzling sexual attraction make their marriage of convenience anything but convenient.

This fun, flirty, enemies-to-lovers sports romance delivers a happily ever after that will have you laughing, crying, sighing, and cheering in the end zone. Fans of the movie "The Proposal" will love this first book in the Milwaukee Growlers Football romance series. While part of a series, this book can be read as a standalone.

What a wonderful read to kick off a new series, the Milwaukee Growlers football team. This story is a marriage of convenience. Andi, grew up in foster care and does not depend on anyone. She is going to night school and trying to start her own business when her ex boyfriend steals her identity and in sues a large debt in her name. She has gone to lawyer for help when her fairy godmother steps in with a solution, marry Dex. Dex is the place kicker for the Growlers. He is from Scotland, and is on the verge of being deported back to Scotland. To help each other out, what's a six month marriage! Until your heart gets involved. This story will have you swooning over Dex, wearing is kilt with his sexy legs and his Scottish brogue. A white knight that is hiding a secret from his past that changed his life. Andi, has never depended on anyone, and she not about to now. Andi and Dex have sizzling chemistry that neither can deny. Plenty of humor and emotion, that will keep you turning the pages. Along with Dex's teammates and better halves, a grumpy cat and the banter that they share this is a story that you don't want to miss. I highly recommend!!

4.5 Stars This book had me with guy in the kilt on the cover and a grumpy cat in the blurb. I'm so glad that I read this one. This book had me laughing quite often and the characters just suck you into the story. I loved Andi and Dex. How they meet and come together is crazy. They start off as a contractual agreement, but when true feelings start to develop pretend flies out the window. Dex gave off some Jamie Fraser vibes with his Scottish accent and even a kilt is sighted. Dex just gets even yummier as his accent comes out. He gets even more bonus points from me because he has a cat. A very grumpy one who likes to terrorize Andi. Now Andi is someone who deserves a HEA. Life keeps knocking her down and this latest blow could bring her to her knees. Luckily for her fate is working in her favor to turn her luck around. Dex is also in a bind and needs Andi's help. These two strangers are in for a wild ride. I loved watching Dex and Andi fall. Dex is also someone who deserves a HEA. The guilt he lives with eats him up and makes him believe he needs to punish himself from being happy. I loved Dex's crazy teammates as well. This first book in the series has me hooked. I can't wait for more from this series.

Who doesn't love a man in a kilt especially a beefy man in a kilt. How about the one who is willing to come to your rescue and help you out. Well, Andi is also helping out Dex because somehow his paper to allow him to stay in the country never made it to the proper place. He is the field goal kicker for the Milwaukee Growlers and much needed at that. Andi's ex took off with her bank account and her good name because he opened up loans by forging her name. So she is in debt and a student. So it is win-win situation to help each other quietly but these to don't like each other at first sight. But you know what they say about people who protest too much. YEP!! I can not wait to read more Milwaukee Growlers books! This one was smooth, easy to read, and oh so fun!
