Star quarterback Ty Calhouns days as a notorious playboy are over when the Outlaws are sold to Bobby Wilson, a man who not only preaches family values but also enforces them. Ty is put on notice--he can clean up his act, or he can play for another team. Image consultant Julie Spencer has been hired to civilize Ty. This is easier said than done, because Julie and Ty had a one-night tryst at high-school graduation where she lost her virginity, and shes spent the last ten years trying to forget him. Their awareness of each other gets in the way of any attempts to reform the charming rogue. This is a romance not for fans of sports romances but rather for readers who enjoy steamy fantasies and dialogue filled with double entendres.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2008, American Library Association.)
